Originally I was just going to swap out the yarn and use the same pattern. I bought Knit Picks Comfy Sport which is 75% pima cotton and a tiny bit acrylic and also machine washable. The pattern calls for worsted weight, I didn't think it was going to be a problem, but it was.
The Wavy Cables and Eyelets pattern of the original plan did not hold up with the thinner yarn and was very messy looking. So I went in search of a blanket pattern written for sport weight yarn and found the Staggered Squares pattern on the Bernat site (you need to sign in to see patterns).
This is a 16 row pattern repeat and I have gotten through 2 repeats and really love the result. Not sure this pic will do it justice:
It is soft and looks very pretty in person. I am determined to keep going. The pattern is tricky, but I am trying to get through 16 rows a day and we will see if I can get it done and shipped by the middle of April!

Hello, I just started this pattern and was searching the Internet to see if anyone had completed one, the photo on the Bernat pattern is so small and fuzzy. Thanks for sharing, it gives me encouragement to keep going. Yours looks great so far!
