It was kind of a nightmare getting here, but this blanket is finally done and it turned out great! On the way up to maine I thought I was about 75% done with the blanket but, in the car, I noticed that the top was wider than the bottom. At some point I changed from an H size hook to an I size hook. I had to rip it back to the blue arrow. It was the equivalent of more than 1 skein of yarn. I'm glad I did because now it's perfectly 36" square and it's a really sweet blanket. The border really adds a lot to the personality of the blanket and it's a very easy border. There's a row of single crochet, 2 rows of V stitches, a row of granny stitches and a ruffle of chains and single crochet. I made this blanket once before and I'm sure I'll make it again. This one will be donated.
Yarn: Yarn Bee Sweet Delight, 3 weight, 340 yards/skein and I used 3 for the body and about 1/2 for the border. Pattern: Vintage Inspired Fan Stitch blanket by Blossom Crochet Hook Size H, 5.0mm

I have a place on my brown crochet blanket already uneven in one area and decided to do that same kind of fix when I'm done. Yours fixed it great!

I love the colors in that variegated yarn. The design of the stitching is so interesting. Someone will get a real treasure.

Such a pretty blanket - sometimes the simple designs are the nicest and I think this is a good example of that.
