After washing measures 6.75" x 6.5" Technically machine washable but comes out very worn looking. I think the warping is from how I joined new yarns. I should've tied knots.

This is all the yarn left from the 6 skeins. Karma barely had 4 inches left so it didn't make it into the test square. This is going in the wash to test how it holds up

Notes

09-08-2023

Some minor mods:
Working my normal closed granny square instead of slip stitching into the corner space. I think with certain variegated yarn, that slipped stitch is so obvious.

Ch4, ss into first to form a circle
3dc, ch2 around (4 clusters and 4 corners)
Join with a ss, ch2, dc in same stitch as joining
Each round, dc in every st and (2dc, ch2, 2dc) in every corner.
Cut yarn after 4 rows

4 row square = 5in, 9g
9g/square x 100g/skein = 11squares/skein
11squares x 6 skeins= 66sq x 2 (for neutral color) = 132 total sq -> 11sq x 12sq blanket = 55in x 60in

For the border, I don’t want a super thick one so I’m only doing rows 1, 3, and 6 from the pattern
