NOTES

• This blanket has a modular construction; each block is joined to the blanket as it is worked, either by picking up stitches or by knitting together with held stitches from a previous square. An I-cord edging is worked on all four sides.

• The sample blanket used almost all of five skeins of MC. Consider purchasing an extra skein as insurance.

• A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
