Pommes Babyfilt (virkad)

Working this up in the round was so satisfying—the stitch repeat kept my hands busy without me having to count obsessively, and it grew fast enough that I finished the blanket in just a few lazy evenings. The texture is lovely and squishy, exactly what I wanted for a baby gift.

I'm usually a crochet pattern collector who gets bored halfway through, but this one had me finishing in a weekend. Working in the round with that repeating stitch made it mindless in the best way, and the texture looks way more intricate than the effort it took.

The stitch repeat is so satisfying once you get into the rhythm, and working in the round means no fiddly seams at the end. I finished a whole square in one evening while watching TV, and the texture looks way more complicated than the actually effort.
