ADDITIONAL DETAILS:

Skill Level: Easy

Size: The pattern creates a blanket that is approx. 32” wide and 37” high (29” wide and 34” high without the border). Instructions for adjusting the size are included in the pattern.

Yarn: Any size 3 (light) yarn. You will need approx. 1,300 yds in total (1,050 yds for the blanket body and 250 yds for the border). I used Feels Like Heaven by Lion Brand in the color “Mauve.” This yarn is size 3 (light) and 100% nylon. A skein is 246 yds / 225 m and 3.5 oz / 100 g. I used 5 and 1/4 skeins. (Note: I’ve also made this pattern using 100% acrylic yarn (size 3) and the results as well as the amount of yarn required were almost exactly the same).

Crochet Hook Size: K/10.5 (6.50 mm).

Other Materials: Scissors, yarn needle and a measuring tape.
Terminology: Written in English for right-handed crochet using standard US crochet terminology.
