Notes

Yarn total = 1535 g / 2774 yds
Average strip = 54 g / 98 yds
Borders & edging = 785 g / 1405 yds

Gauge & Hooks: Because Caron One Pound is stiffer and thicker and Red Heart Super Saver is springier and thinner, in order to get all the strips as near as possible to a standard length of 15 rows in 12 inches, I changed hook sizes and varied the stitch height (golden loop).
