I barely knit into the 3rd skein of the Remix. I used a bit less than 1 1/2 skeins of the Pluscious.

This blanket measured about 27 1/2 inches wide and 38 1/2 inches long before I knit the border. The border was 1 1/2 inches deep.

I forgot to finish with the 4 or 5 rows of garter stitch!

I left the stitches “live” after the 12 patterns of the repeat and knit the next row (from the right side) with the chenille. Then I picked up stitches along the other 3 sides of the blanket. I picked up and extra stitch at each corner and placed a marker right before that stitch.

I had a 60” circular needle, so I just knit the border in the round. I knit each round. When I came to the corner stitch, I knit in the front, back, front and moved the marker to right before the second stitch. This increased 8 stitches per round.

I knit about 5 rounds then bound off using the k2tog bind-off.

Things I will change if I knit this again:

I would have liked the blanket to be a little wider, so I will add one or two repeats of the pattern - casting on more stitches.

I will use a provisional cast on and NOT knit the garter stitch portion of either end. This will be easier than picking up stitches for knitting the border.

I will only have one extra stitch on each side, instead of the 3 stitch garter stitch edging. Since I’m knitting a chenille border, I don’t kneed the garter stitch border.
