After a few unfortunate missteps with matching the yarn (8 out of 10 of the Prince Pebbles matched the Soft Fern perfectly, and I of course managed to start with one of the two that didn't) I ended up making not one but two versions of the blanket. After realizing how different the yarns were, I couldn't bring myself to give such an imperfect blanket to my cousin, so I started a new one. My coworker liked the half blanket so much that she asked to buy it instead of letting it go to waste, so I finished it up for her and now both blankets have good homes.
The pattern is more or less the same as this, but I adjusted the number of squares per row and the size of each square/row. I also used back post double crochet for the ribbing instead of front posts because the BPDC leave the reverse looking more similar to the single crochet.
