Holiday Kal-3

The 30" square blanket is part of a layette for Tatiana's baby girl, due in a few weeks! It's knit using Plymouth Encore (wool/acrylic blend), and the pattern caused the edges to pull in and not lay flat, so I used a steam iron to 'kill' the acrylic, and it then washed and dried beautifully!
