This makes a blanket that is cozy and warm and airy enough to breathe. This yarn is soft, super easy care, and works up fast.

I improvised this blanket using a couple of the stitches I enjoyed using for making cowls over the winter months. I originally chained enough for it to match a much-loved baby blanket, but as long as you chain it to an even number it can be as wide and as long as you can imagine.

Gauge doesn’t really matter; nor does the hook. Using a 10mm hook makes the stitches much more open and airy than the 8mm, and I usually decide which hook I’m going to use based on the recipient. I made a very small one for a 18-inch doll with a 5.5mm hook and Worsted Weight yarn.

Every time I make one of these someone asks if they can have one too. I know it has a lot to do with the squishy comfy nature of this yarn…once you cuddle under it, you don’t ever want to leave!
