ADDITIONAL DETAILS:

Skill Level: Easy.

Size: Making 36 squares creates a blanket that is approx. 37” x 37” with the border (34” x 34” without the border). Instructions for adjusting the size are included in the pattern.

Yarn: Any size 3 (light) yarn. I made 36 squares. Each square requires approx. 32 yds of yarn. Joining and the border (for 36 squares) requires approx. 300 yds.

I used Snuggly Wuggly by Loops & Threads in six colors. This yarn is size 3 (light) and 100% acrylic. A skein is 446 yds / 408 m and 5 oz / 141 g. I used less than 1 skein of each color.

Yellow – 7 squares: 224 yds
Light Green – 7 squares: 224 yds
