Notes

Cast on 292 (9 repeats of 32 sts plus 2 stitches on either side)

3/26/18 Tried this with Cascade Superwash Merino and although it is a worsted yarn, it must be light worsted because the fabric was too thin for a blanket. Frustrating as I’d had to start the project over 4 times before this revelation. So many wasted hours. Sigh.

3/30/18 Completely started over with new yarn. So far, so good.

It turned out great, this yarn is so soft and squishy! The blanket is very wide - I cast on too many repeats. If I did it again I’d cast on 2 less repeats and then added a little length to it, but overall I’m really happy with it!
