SIZE

If you knit them exactly as I did, each square will have 10 to 11’’ (25 to 28 cm) per side, depending on how aggressively you block them.

That will give you, for a 3 x 4 blocks blanket, the following measures:

• 30 to 33’’ (76 to 84 cm) wide.
• 40 to 44’’ (102 to 112 cm) long.

MATERIALS

You can change the yarn weight and needle size to obtain different sized blocks. Send me a message if you need help.

• 1 straight needle US 6 (4 mm) for Casting on and Binding Off sts.
• 1 pair of straight needles US 4 (3.5 mm).
• FOR EACH BLOCK: approx. 130 yds (119 m) of DK (8 ply / 11 wpi) yarn. Extra yarn if you want to make a border after finishing the blanket.
• cable needle
• tapestry needle and scissors.
• OPTIONAL (but recommended): stitch markers and row counter.
• BLOCKING materials. If you need a tutorial on how to block different yarns, you can read my post –> HERE

GAUGE

22 to 24 sts in stocking st with US 4 (3.5 mm) needles = 4” (10 cm)

 

Thanks for stopping by, and HAPPY KNITTING!!
