Although you will need most of 1 skein of blue, you will only need about 5 yards of black and 20 of red. If you need to make this bigger, add one more increase row before you go to the others.

The cotton yarn can be replaced by any other medium weight worsted acrylic or Wool-Ease yarn of same color.
