Welcome to the Jake’s Blanket CAL. The CAL will Start on January 5th and will continue for 14 weeks, ending on April 6th, with each week’s post going up on Monday.

Here are some details that will help you complete your own Jake’s Blankie:

This is a baby/toddler/crib sized blanket (34″ x 46″ or just shy of 3′ x 4′). You can make it larger by using a thicker yarn and larger hook, or by adding more squares onto the blanket before beginning the border. You could even add more on after the border…

This blanket is unisex, just switch up the colors to suit your needs! For the CAL, I will give instructions for a 3 color version (colors A, B, and C) but you are welcome to get creative and use the number of colors and placement that make you happy. If you want to follow along with the 3 color plan I have, with the same or different colors, then choose your 3 colors and write a big A, B or C in sharpie on the ball wrappers.

Find even more details in the linked pattern/Cal post, along with links to each week of the CAL as they happen.
