Notes

• The pattern is worked on the RS only. For the body of this blanket, this means that you do not turn your blanket to the WS after you finish a row, but instead start on the right-hand side of your last row again (left if you’re a leftie). You have allowance in the yardage to add extra granny clusters to a row, or add some extra rows to the blanket. The pattern uses ~6g per row and each colour is used for three rows (~18g in total). In theory, you’d have enough of each colour to add an additional colour sequence to the length of the blanket, or make it slightly wider (don’t do both at the same time without getting more yarn, though!) Please note that you use 50g balls of the white colour, and 25g balls of the other colours!
