So you only go in the back loop on row 2?

[@maggiemaycrochet]

@@nancy6100 yes. I start and end the row in both loops to give a straighter edge. So first stitch, both loops, second stitch on, back loop. Last stitch of the row, both loops 😊

How well does it Wash up? I was thinking about giving it to a grandchild.

[@maggiemaycrochet]

@@robbindohm3767 honestly, I haven't washed it yet. I think it depends on the yarn you use. Just check the label. The pony bead label says not for kids under 3 due to choking hazard so you won't want to give it to little ones 🥰

Thank you 😊

How much does your blanket weigh? 🤔 i'm a little worried it isn't heavy enough for a weighted blanket in the end and i can't find any information on the final weight anywhere

[@maggiemaycrochet]

Weighted blankets come in all different weights and sizes. The one I made is quite small, so it wasn't super heavy. I gave it as a gift so I can't weigh it. You can weigh out your beads and yarn before you begin to get an idea of what your blanket will weigh in the end. I've also heard that using glass beads makes a heavier blanket. It's probably more expensive, though. Also, you can skip the colored yarn row and add another bead row to make your blanket twice as heavy. Hope that helps.
