Pin for later

For my blanket I used 2 and a half Cinnamon Swirl Cakes in the colourway "Tropical Breeze" with a 6mm Hook

For the border I used 2 balls of Paintbox Chunky in White with a 7mm Hook.

My blanket measures approximately 90cm x 106cm (35" by 41")

I took the width to 91 rows, then maintained the mid section for 39 rows before decreasing.

If you want to make a larger blanket, you will of course need more yarn.

You can use any yarn you so wish, PLEASE NOTE - you will need a hook size at least one size larger than the yarn recommends and a hook two sizes larger for the border.
