Notes

Start on 2 3.25mm DPNs.
Change to 3.75mm bamboo DPNs on row 4.

I didn’t weigh each skein before I start using them so all the yarn quantities are based on the 50 gram skein assumption and are not completely accurate!

18 Squares Knitted ends woven in!
12 Squares blocked.

April 21, 2017

Squares:
Knitted - 36
All ends hidden - 36
Blocked - 28
On the blocking board - 4
To be blocked - 4
And then just to decide the order of my squares and knit the whole thing together!

Connect squares with US8 - 5mm needles.

Edging - I put the corner marker between the 2 sts I picked at each corner and not after the pick up stitches.

At very long last I managed to finish the blanket! I connected 24 squares, all stripes and knat the edge in the last week…. Edge was done with 5mm needles like the puk’s.

Blocked to a 120 cm per side square.
