Finished my first blanket!

I think I technically fell for the “beginners making SC blankets” trap, but I’m happy with the end product. It took a little over a month and has many imperfections.

I used a grid pattern online to make the cat squares and added a SC border around each one. They’re about 7x7 inches. Once I stitched everything together, I added another SC row around the whole thing and a shell border. The yarn is Pound of Love and I used a 5.5mm hook.
