Materials:
–Red Heart Super Saver Yarns in all different colors (Denim, Charcoal, Dusty Grey, White, Country Blue)I used 1 ball of each with an extra ball of yarn for the border. (6 skeins total–2,000 yards of yarn)
–Size I-5.50mm Crochet Hook
–Yarn Needle
–Scissors
NOTES:
-You can make this blanket any size.
-The measurements for my blanket came out to be approximately 45 inches X 50 Inches
-You can make this blanket any size by making your beginning chain an even number.
-You can use any colors you want. I used a Worsted Weight, Size 4 Medium Yarn but you can use any Double Knitting Yarn or any Aran Yarn as well.
-This blanket took me approximately 3 days to complete.
-Ch 3 at the beginning of a row counts as a stitch unless otherwise specified
-If you do not have the same exact stitch count as me (if you are off by a few stitches, do not worry about it, it is OK, the border will hide any imperfections on the edges)
