Pattern Notes:

This blanket is worked from the bottom up. There are no color changes as the yarn does all the work for you! Consider practicing on a small swatch with this yarn before beginning the blanket. The yarn can be splitty, so it could be a good idea to get the feel for it before beginning.

Adjusting The Size:

To change the width, simply cast on more or fewer stitches while keeping a multiple of 5 + 4 extra stitches. To make your blanket longer, simply knit for more rows. Keep yarn needs in mind when you adjust the sizing.

Have fun!
