Assembly / Finishing
Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle. Block gently if desired to shape the blanket and even out the stitches.
Tips
- Always check your gauge before starting to ensure your finished item matches the intended size.
- Use stitch markers to mark the first and last stitches of each row, especially when working on larger projects, to help keep your edges straight.
- For a larger blanket, increase your starting chain in multiples of 2, and continue repeating the body rows until your desired length is reached.
