I grabbed a skein of hot pink chunky yarn flecked with rainbow colors, and took a look at the pattern. There was no gauge listed, but I wanted to be sure the blankie stayed manageably-sized for a little one, and that I wouldn't run out of yarn. I basically eyeballed how big I wanted it to be, which required having to rip out and redo a few sections, but it was still a very quick project. I like that the pattern starts from the bottom corner and moves up, with yarn-over eyelets along the edge for a little bit of detail. The knotted hands are very easy to manage, and while the directions for knitting the ears feels very strange, I like the angle they make from the head, and the fact that mine always curl in opposite directions for a little personality. And embroidering the cute face was a cinch.
