Pattern Notes

  • Find the yarn featured in this pattern here.

  • The ch 2 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.

  • Due to the nature of this yarn, it is likely that your blanket will grow considerably as the project gains weight. This is normal, and yields a beautifully drapey result, so don’t stress about it!

  • When finished, this blanket measures approximately 60 by 70 inches, stretched slightly due to weight.
