• This pattern is easily adjustable for both height and width. To adjust for height, knit the body
pattern to your desired length, excluding about 2” (5 cm) for the nal border and bind off. To
adjust for width, add or subtract stitches in a multiple of 4 for the body.
• If using hand-dyed yarn, please make sure to purchase suf cient yardage from the same dye lot.
• The yarn is held triple throughout this pattern, so you don't need to alternate skeins every few
rows. Just make sure you've blended your skeins as much as possible to ensure an even
distribution of color.
• A table for the color transitions is on page 6.

FINISHING

Weave in all ends with a tapestry needle. Block your blanket, if desired. I recommend pinning at,
stretching to desired length and width, and then wetting the piece with a spray bottle. This will help
combat accidental overstretching from trying to lift a soaking blanket in order to squeeze out
excess water. Allow to dry. Enjoy your new throw, and stay warm!
