Vinnis Colours – DK Nikkim 100% cotton (50 grams/119 meters)

For this project I used 6 colours – this is not preset, and you can use any colour combo of your choosing – I have a sheet available to print to help with colour adjustments.

Four colors are used per square. i.e. A, B, C, E or A, B, D, F

Note: This is ONLY a suggestion, you can use any colour combination and any amount of colours.

Yarn Substitute:
Using the same type of yarn throughout the project is recommended. The pattern suggests Cotton DK yarn, but you are not limited to this type of yarn. Any yarn can be used if you take into consideration your sizing for the project will differ.

Tension | Gauge
Gauge is NOT necessary for this project to be perfect.
However COUNTING your stitches will ensure a true success of this project!
Blocking your squares are recommended (not necessary) for the consistency in size for the squares.

Size
Square size - 9 inches / 23 cm

Final Blanket Size without border:
Approx. Length and width = 45 inches / 115 cm
With border:
Approx. Length and width = 48 inches / 122 cm

Remember – if you use/choose a different yarn weight/hook size your blanket will be a different size!
