Pattern Notes
If you’d like to increase or reduce the size of the blanket, the only thing you need to do is make sure you keep
to an even number of rounds to ensure that the border pattern works out correctly.
I worked a total of 68 rows for mine and you can follow the colours exactly using the Colour Guide on page 5
if you like.
✽ If you don’t want to change colour at the end of any round, simply make a ss into the corner space then
start the next round.
