HOW WIDE IS THIS BLANKET?
THANKS,
THERESA
The finished blanket measures 35″ X 35″. Hope this helps!
How much Yarn does this pattern use
A skein in each color (3 skeins total).
What kind of yarn did you use and how much yardage on each skein?
I just used yarn from my stash so I’m not sure what brand they all were. I used a little less than a skein of each, about 250 yards for each color.
When you go back and do the double crochet in the stitch you skipped, where do you go from there? Do you skip the next stitch? Thanks; really want to try this!
Yes, you skip the next stitch and double crochet in the next, then go back to the one you skipped again. Hope this helps!
How do I make it wider than the initial 101 chain? and Thank you for sharing, I will be making this as a gift.
You can add more chains to make it as wide as you would like 🙂
Thank you
You’re welcome! Enjoy the pattern 🙂

Hi, does the ch 2 count as a st?
Hi, the ch 2 does not count as a stitch.
I would like to make this bigger. Does the initial chain have to be an odd number?
Yes, add as many chains as you would like for the size you want for the foundation chain ending in an odd number and follow the pattern.
Hi. In your reply to Laura Wilson (April 15, 2021), you advised to add as many chains as you want, to increase the size, ending in an odd number. However, the foundation chain in the original pattern ends in an even number, so which is correct?
Thank you
I personally would say to increase the size to any number ending on an even number since it’s even in the original size.
You ended row 1 with a turn. Then on row 2 you have ch 2 and turn again. Is that correct?
