Per the pattern, the blanket measures ca. 75 x 60 cm finished (27.5 in x 23.6 in), knitted in waffle seam. The author states 260 grams yarn in a “thin merino wool.” I estimated 1,144 yards fingering weight based on this.

From the author Malfrid Gausel: “I thought it would be a good idea to start with a beautiful warm wool baby blanket. You can of course knit this blanket in cotton if you don’t require the extra warmth that wool gives. The border of this wool baby blanket knitting pattern is a pattern called waffle seam, a pattern which lovely for baby clothes. It is also a most appropriate border for this blanket. The baby wool blanket I have knitted measure about 75 x 60 cm. It is a small blanket, which is very useful for the newborn baby. As our babies grow so quickly you might like to knit the blanket larger. Knit the same border around the blanket but cast on more stitches. Please be aware that the stitches always need to be divisible with 4 + 3 extra stitches.”
