tear it out or keep going

I would just keep going, and my reasons for saying this; --I know, I as a Mother, always wrapped my son in a receiving type of blanket, before wrapping him in the lovely knitted blankets that I received. It was always on the outside, with previous wraps underneath... And, if you are truly worried about the openings, a lovely flannel of complimenting or same color could be attached to the back with velcro..so that it could easily be removed and washed, with multiple washings of your lovely gift. Just a couple of thoughts...I don't do well with tearing things out, I lose my enthusiasm, and it gets put on the back-burner! All the best, you'll be so proud of the end result!

The last afghan I did in baby sport took me forever. The openings should be fine. It gives the baby some breathing room. I would love to see the pattern. I decided this time around the grand baby was gonna get a blanket out of regular 4 ply, made of grannies, mostly. It does work up a lot faster. What I did for the previous granddaughter was a single crochet in baby sport. . .plus I did not have the concentration to work on it. The one for grand son I did at work. I know that sounds weird, but some of the things I do at work are things like sit and talk with clients, or clean their house and do laundry. I have tons of free time.

If the holes are part of the pattern, go ahead with it. Not all blankets need to be extra warm or tightly worked to be comfortable.

Just continue with it. If they feel the "holes" are too big, they won't use it, but they will certainly appreciate the effort.

Continue with making the baby blanket, I am sure you neighbor will, love the blanket, so you are not wasting your time, making the blanket, I am sure you will get, it done if you continue to work on the blanket, I don't think you have anything, to worry about the big gaps in the blanket, the pattern must have, suppose to be like that.

i am wondering your age now.ps:do what you want to do.

I don't know alot about working with baby sport..but I do know some of that materials stretch and like you I would worry if the holes were too big.

I'd be worried too. Myself i'd use the same pattern but take it out and switch to smaller knitting needles. Makes for smaller holes,

I think that this ultimately comes down to your own opinion. If you are happy with the way that the afghan is looking overall, I would say that you can keep going with it. However, if it is something that is really bothering you then I would say that I would tear it out and start over on a new afghan. For me, I've never been able to follow a pattern so I typically tend to either make a straight afghan or I will make a wavy afghan for new additions to our family.

I would just continue on.if you feel they are too big,when you get through you could add a row of ribbon in it or make a design.even possibly pull it in a bit with needle and weave in thread.me personally i would just keep going and forget about it.i am sure it will be fine.
