This blanket is made using 6 different colors of bulky weight yarn Stitched with a 9mm hook. The blanket is worked in one piece with the border worked with the blanket!
Gauge is not super important, but changes in gauge will affect the finished size and the overall yarn usage.
Different stitch patterns are used in each block to create a marvelously textured blanket! (thus the name!).
Each of the 5 blocks will use about 1 skein of Homespun (or 185 yards each), Some use slightly less though. You will also need 3 skeins of the main color (the border color) or 555 yards!
Because of the different textures of each block, it will be necessary to block the blanket. I recommend Steam blocking to relax the stitches, but wet-blocking would work as well!
The finished blanket will be 36” x 52”!
