Yarn:
Charity Double Knit Pullskein (100g / 255 yards / 233 meters)

Approx. 1400 grams / 3570 yards / 3262 meters (14 balls)

For this project I used 7 colours – this is not preset, and you can use any colour combo of your choosing.

Yarn Substitute:
Using the same type of yarn throughout the project is recommended. The pattern suggests Cotton DK yarn, but you are not limited to this type of yarn. Any yarn can be used if you take into consideration your sizing for the project will differ.

Tension | Gauge
Gauge is NOT necessary for this project to be perfect.
However COUNTING your stitches will ensure a true success of this project!
Blocking your squares are recommended (not necessary) for the consistency in size for the squares.

Size
Square size - 9 inches / 23 cm

Final Blanket Size - Approx. Length and width = 48 x 56 inches / 120 x 140 cm

Remember – if you use/choose a different yarn weight/hook size your blanket will be a different size!
