The wool I used was a standard DK, and the pennies measured approximately 5cm in diameter, which means you would need quite a few to make a baby afghan. Good luck with your project, I'm sure it will look incredible!<br />Best wishes, Julia xJulia Crossland Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882769819060746645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096921570548041500.post-27515540598071972042016-10-27T16:13:29.378+01:002016-10-27T16:13:29.378+01:00Hi Julia, I love the Sea Pennies, I was wondering ...Hi Julia, I love the Sea Pennies, I was wondering how many Sea Pennies do I need to make for a baby afghan? I have a grandchild due in April. I was wanting to get started as soon as possible. I would like to make it big enough for a toddler bed. That way he/she could have it when he/she gets older. Thanks for the Pattern.

Thanks for the tutorial! 2: you write that you make one dc to start the circle then make 10 more dcs into the magic circle to end up with 12 dcs total. Someone's math is off. Just saying. If it's mine pls lemme know why? & 3, and I might be confused here but in joining the "pennies", just to clarify, the first row is joined by bringing the hook up from the back of the rounds' edge but the 2 row and the following ones through the top? Or is it better to alternate top and bottom? And, ok, maybe just one more comment, and it's for those that want to create something with straight sides instead of decreasing ones. What about joining the rounds at every 4th stitch on 3 sides (except the first row where you would join the sane as the tutorial). This would give you joins at every 90° (like the clock's 3, 6, 9 & 12) except the edge where you would need only joins at 3, 6 & 9 o'clock. The respective stitches would be the 1st one (or the closing skip stitch), 3rd, 6th & 9th Just an idea.lunaticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071281397235281676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096921570548041500.post-28899740181560838982014-02-22T16:10:02.183+00:002014-02-22T16:10:02.183+00:00Okay.

What about the tail end that's still there from when I pulled the circle tight. How do you tuck that away? Ahh! I really wanted to make this into a baby blanket for my little one due in July but I am a complete beginner. I had too use youtube videos to learn to DC and was successful in making my first penny but now I am just at a loss and have my first penny still hanging on my hook.
