Notes

Foundation DC start 223 stitches, both Whirls from the Outside, continuing second Whirls from the inside. Jumpin Jaffa Pop is the background and I will use two cakes. The pattern is with Caramel Core Blimey. Update: In stead of joining a second Caramel Core Blimey, I decided to use the three quarters of Chocolate Vermicelli Woolly Whirl I had in my stash as I want to use that Caramel in another project. The transition was seamless. I will also make use of leftover Midmorning Mocharoo for the border.

Halfpoint size
64cm x 102cm
Therefore expected size without the border is 128cm x 102cm
UPDATE: Completed Size 140cm x 112cm

Making the large version of the blanket but switching the middle pattern 4 repeat out for pattern 6 to make effective use of my Whirls.
Sequence:
Pattern 1
Pattern 4
Pattern 3
Pattern 6
Pattern 3a
Pattern 4
Pattern 1a

I plan on using the easy and fast double border by Beba Blanket as explained from about 6 minutes into the video onwards https://youtu.be/qdBlQO70YeQ
Update
I used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q_I_T8R7yA by Rozina Plane.

We just moved internationally and this might take slower than normal. The blanket was started one day after flying into our new city. No rest for the wicked!
