A Big One For The Hawkeyes

This blanket measures approx. 40"x55".  I used US8 needles and cast on 200 sts.  I knit 20 rows and then continued knitting every first and last 20 sts and purling the middle 160 sts every even row.  After 120 rows of black I joined the lemon and did another 120 rows before binding off. The yarn is Caron Simply Soft.  This will be for the annual Hawkeye donation for The Preemie Project.
