Size: This cozy blanket measures approximately 35” x 36”, providing just the right amount of warmth for your little one.
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Red Heart Collage, a beautifully soft and versatile yarn that consists of 73% acrylic and 27% wool. You’ll need Jumbo (size 7) yarn in the 9985 Ragg colorway, which comes in 55 yards / 141 grams per ball. You’ll require a total of 6 balls to complete this lovely blanket.
Needles: To achieve the best results, use US-19 (15.0 mm) circular needles, preferably in a length of 24-40 inches, which will allow for easy maneuvering as you knit.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 8 stitches x 11 rows = 4” [10 cm] in stockinette stitch after steam blocking to ensure your blanket has the perfect size and drape.
Other supplies: Don’t forget to have a yarn needle or crochet hook on hand to weave in those pesky ends for a polished finish.
Stitches and Abbreviations: Familiarize yourself with these key terms to get started: co – cast on, k – knit, psso – pass slipped stitch over, ssk – slip, slip, knit these 2 stitches together (this is a decrease), st(s) – stitch(es), and yo – yarn over.
