Sage Lilac Single Raised Rib Crochet Blanket

I made this blanket for my camper. I normally wouldn't put these colors togethor but I wanted the colors to match the camper.

I used a Single Raised Rib stitch (front post stitch) to make this blanket. I made 6 columns then sewed them side by side. I can't make a blanket in 1 piece. It's just to heavy to keep flipping a blanket every time I'm done with a row. I made it to match the colors of my camper.
