Recently I received 2 skeins of Premier Yarns Sweet Roll in Cream Pop!! This is a very soft worsted weight yarn that is self striping in 3 colors, and has 245 yards in each roll…. When I opened the box, I envisioned a sweet little baby blanket that would be perfect in these colors!! I love how it turned out… The weight of the blanket in this yarn is just perfect and I love how the colors worked with my design!! As you all know, I am a huge fan of self striping yarn… No ends to weave in when the color changes!!!! I can’t wait to try Sweet Roll yarn in some other color ways for more projects!!

I just finished round 17 and have a little left on my first skein … The blanket measures about 19 inches. You said you used 2 full skeins and when I use my 2nd skein It should measure 38 inches. My question is how do I continue when there are only 5 rounds left and this took 17 rounds to make 19 inches? Also, do you cut into the 2nd skein so the colors are consistent? Mine ends in pink and 2nd skein doesn’t start or end in the color that should be next. My skein is called bubble pop.
Thanks!
Due to personal crochet tension, your project may be larger or smaller than the pattern. If it is to small you may have to use a larger hook to get it to size. You can add at the point of color in the skein or just let it work out how the skein begins, personal preference
a quick question i have made the sugar wheel baby blanket and I loved it. i thought I had seen somewhere that you had added rows to make this an adult blanket. Am I mistaken? I would really love to make this for an adult.
thank you so much for all the wonderful patterns

Thank you for making the project! No, I haven’t added, rose to this for an adult size where I have instructions. But you can continue with the increases in the same consistency that is in the blanket to make it larger.
