MATERIALS

For a Crib (Small Throw, Large Throw) size, you need 1 (2, 3) of Purl Soho’s Nine-Note Bundle(s). One bundle includes…

• 9 skeins of 80% extra fine merino wool and 20% baby alpaca yarn. Each bundle of this light worsted/dk weight yarn is 900 yards/ 450 grams; approximately 885 (1745, 2485) total yards required. We used Pomelo and Bluegrass bundles for our samples.

You will also need…

• US 5 (3.75mm), 16-, 32-, and 60-inch circular knitting needles OR an interchangeable needle set with multiple cord lengths
• A spare needle 1–2 sizes larger for the bind off
• A set of US 5 double pointed needles
• Stitch markers, including one unique

NOTE: If you want to use Magic Loop at the beginning of this project, you won’t need the 16-inch circular or double pointed needles listed above… Just stick with the 32- and 60-inch ones!

GAUGE
18 stitches and 36 rounds = 4 inches in Double Seed Stitch (see Stitch Patterns in the Notes section below)

Note: We designed these blankets to use as much of the skeins as possible, so achieving this gauge is critical. To avoid running out of yarn, check your gauge, be sparing with your tails, swatch using the darkest color (Color 1), and reuse your swatch yarn, if necessary. If gauge is a new concept for you, our All About Gauge tutorial is a helpful primer!
