Pattern Notes

This blanket is worked flat from the bottom up. You may wish to place markers between pattern repeats to help you stay on track.

If you wish to make a larger blanket, simply increase your stitch count by multiples of 6 to maintain the Zig Zag pattern. You may work as many vertical repeats as desired to achieve a longer blanket. Please note, the sample weighs almost exactly 500 grams, so adjusting for a larger blanket will require additional yarn.
