This blanket is designed to be a lap blanket, and you can make the blanket bigger or smaller, as this is a pattern repeat, by increasing or decreasing the starting with any even number.
The colour pattern repeat is 5 rows in the main colour, 10 rows in the contrast colour.
When changing yarns, switch to your new colour on the final yarn over the stitch before the colour change. You can adjust the suggested colour change rows, to your pattern repeat preference. If adding rows, please take into account additional yardage.
