PATTERN ALTERATIONS
This is my second Sweet Dreams blanket. Ch 186 to begin. This makes 15 of the outer border (block) squares & gives me a width of 33”. Each of my border squares is 2 1/4” x 2 1/4”. Completed 17 repeats of the outer border (block) squares. Stream blocking the outer border & especially the picots really helps them to lay more flat!!

YARN - Using FINGERING weight yarn. 1 skein of yarn completed 7 repeats of the pattern. 2 skeins of yarn & I am almost through 15 repeats of the pattern. Measures 33 1/2” long. Finished blanket with 10 g left of my 3rd skein.

Body takes about 70 min per block repeat.

Horizontal Increases
1. The edging is a multiple of 8 stitches. Whatever you decide to increase by, that number needs to be divisible by 8 for the edging & 12 for the block design that surrounds the main body. This means you need to increase or decrease your beginning chain by multiples of 24.

Vertical Increases
The body square is made using 6 repeats Row 9-14. As mentioned before the border is a multiple of 8. So whatever vertical increases you make need to be divisible by 6 & 8. this means you need to increase or decrease your rows by multiples of 24.
