This is a very scrappy sock yarn blanket with very few rules. Use as many or as little different colors as you like. A true stash buster! You could easily use any weight yarn and size needles to use up your stash. When knitting in sock weight and it measures 48” x 72”, there are approx 240,600 stitches!!! There is not a purl stitch in sight! Just garter, nothing but potato chip knitting.
