Yarn Requirements & Size Chart
*Because of the large, open stitches, the blanket will have significant stretch. Finished sizes may vary slightly depending on your tension and how much the blanket is stretched when measuring.
Skill Level
Gauge
- Approximate gauge: 2.5 stitches and 1.75 rows = 4″ (10 cm)
- Be sure to measure after a few rows and stretch the fabric slightly as you would when using or blocking the blanket.
If you’re substituting yarn, keep in mind:
- The blanket is very flexible in sizing, so you can adjust the starting chain or number of rows to achieve your desired dimensions.
- Different jumbo or even super bulky (#6) yarns may work, but always check your fabric feel and drape to ensure it matches your preferences.
- You may need to experiment with hook size if your substitute yarn is significantly thinner or thicker.
