Notes
  • Using Jared Flood’s mods.
  • Yarn held double.
  • CO 36 sts.
  • 24 squares total in blanket.
  • 2 skeins of yarn completed 4.5 squares.
  • Finished knitting 11.13.12.
  • Using yarn held double & crochet chain to attach pieces together (not single crochet). Only chained on garter ridges. Using size H/8-5.0 mm crochet hook.
  • For some reason, the edges aren’t matching up. I guess I’ll knit 69 rows for the long sides for the next blanket, and 34 rows for the short ends of the big pieces. (I have about 4-5 extra rows on each long side.)
  • Didn’t have enough yarn to hold double for i-cord edging (83 g left). I still went for it single-stranded 3-stitch i-cord because it gives the project such a nice finish.
  • Knit an extra 2 i-cord rows for each corner.

Perfect rustic twin-sized blanket!! I don’t want to part with it ever. It’s soo warm. I totally get why Jared Flood was in love with it. I’m definitely making another one.
