12. Continue working rounds: Keep increasing as needed to maintain the shape until the blanket reaches your desired size. Remember to count your stitches after each round to ensure you are on track.
13. Finish with a scalloped edge: *5 double crochets in the same stitch, skip 2 stitches, slip stitch in the next stitch; repeat from * around the entire edge of the blanket.
14. Weave in ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends from your project. This will give your blanket a clean finish.
15. Block if necessary: If your blanket needs a little shaping, lightly block it by wetting it and pinning it to the desired dimensions. Allow it to dry completely.
