A Good Mistake

I purchased a couple of baby blanket/afghan books from the US. They have beautiful patterns and nearly all are "Yarn" or "Size 4". This poses a conundrum in Australia as Yarn Type 4 in the US can mean 5 ply or 8 ply here. I had a variegated 8 ply cotton and decided to have a go at one of the patterns. I think I used the wrong crochet hook size and it came out smaller than the  pattern suggested, but it works! It is a really good size for a stroller. The larger afghans drag on the ground and can get caught in the wheels, yet this is just the right size to tuck in without bulkiness and keep bub warm, so my mistake is not as bad as I first thought..
