Notes

Update: I’ve been sleeping under this blanket--which was intended as a couch blanket but has migrated to my bed--for a while now. It is so heavy and warm and squishy and snuggly! I absolutely love it.

The Slipstravaganza shawl is still my favorite Westknits MKAL to date, so when I wanted a blanket for my couch, I knew it had to be this one. I had a lot of Cascade 220 skeins that I wanted to use up, so I forced myself to use colors I already had and make them work. Which has actually been a lot of fun!

Finished diameter, after machine wash and tumble dry on high heat, approx 72 inches (183cm). It’s BIG.

Started on US6, but changed to 7 during the third honeycomb round.
