Notes
  • I double each strand for thickness

  • I had to order the yellow and orange off Michaels.com because none of the FOUR stores near me carried them. The website only sells in lots of 3.

  • Each repeat is about 4.25 inches, so I will need to do about 12 repeats if I want the blanket to be square before I add the border.

  • Because of the way this is worked, in one direction, not turning, it is slanting big time. The entrelac blanket I made also did this for the same reason, but it blocked just fine. Hopefully blocking will help this, too.
