Notes

The pattern is for DK yarn, but I’m using our aran instead for extra squishiness!

Each square weighs approx 38g. I’m going to make 16 squares, and I’m counting the border as equivalent to 2 squares for the sake of calculating my progress (that’s likely an underestimate, but it will do!).

9.4.20 I’ve completed 3 squares.

Four squares done and the fifth is on my needles and approximately half way through.

Each square is blocking to 24cm x 24cm (9 1/4” x 9 1/4”) and I anticipate this will make the finished size just over 1m (approx 40”) square.

Sixth square is done and 7th is on my needles!

I’ve created a couple of tutorial videos to go with this project:
Seaming blanket squares
Weaving in ends in garter stitch

I hope they are helpful!

Nearly there now! Just a square and a half to go, then lots of edging to knit. joy
