I worked on size 15 double pointed needles for 9 Rounds, adding stitches as called for, then switched to size 17 circular needles, I continued the pattern until I had 28 stitches in between the yarn overs. To help the blanket lay flat I added the following border: K1 Round, P! round, K1 Round, P1 Round, Next round: YO, sl 1 knitwise, K1, psso across row. K1 round, Bind off purlwise very loosely.
