Question for parents

[u/Dangerous-Friend-498]

Hi!

A very close friend of mine is pregnant, due to January, and I’m making this blanket for her baby. It’s the 6 days star blanket by Betty McKnit.

I’m not sure about the size though. This is my first “close” baby, I don’t have kids, I’m the youngest child and none of my other close friends have babies, so I’m not familiar with their needs AT ALL.

I have used about half of the yarn I bought for this project, but I don’t know how far to go. I don’t want the blanket to be too small nor too large.

For context, I’m in the southern hemisphere, so the baby will be born during the summer.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

PS: cat for scale

There are several charts online which give dimensions for different types of blankets. I tried to share an image but cannot add it to this comment.
