It will snag little fingers and just about everything else, too. There are some options I can think of to help remedy the float issue. 1. Use a fusible decorative backing to cover the reverse side. 2. Knit it in the round, seam the sides, top and bottom to make a double thick blanket. Thinner yarn might be a better choice. That's all I can think of right now! Hope that helps! Sassysean, while it would make a pretty blanket, it wouldn’t be practical with the floats.

I think the effect would be very different and the dotted effect would stand out less on a reverse stockinette background. @ Pork with bones, possibly, it’s worth trying :).

Thank you for including the extra photos, and your thoughts on the fabric. I wonder if the problem of the areas with the floats receding could be remedied by working the single-colour areas in reverse stockinette. Lovely!
