This blanket includes a gauge measurement; this is the recommendation for the yarn I used. The pattern can be done in any size yarn, using the recommended hook size for the yarn chosen. It can be made as big or as little as you like. The yarn and hook size I used is included in the written pattern. It is part of an e-Book, “Stitches with Stories”. When you link to the book, you need to click on “view all 10 patterns” for it to be shown.
