My preference was to use yarn all from the same fiber, but you can use your discretion. I worked this blanket completely out of yarn scraps, but I chose to use all 100% cotton yarn. You will gently stuff it, close the top, seam your square to form a row, and attach the row onto your blanket.

You may attach as many squares together as you would like to achieve your desired size. Meeting precise gauge is not extremely important, because of the flexible sizing of this blanket. Follow along in the pattern and measure your square as you go to check gauge. GAUGE // Each square measures 3' x 3', before stuffing.

So anyway, I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I do! But there’s something so rewarding about putting so much time and effort into such a beautiful make. Its not something you can work up in a week. This has helped me cut down my stash tremendously! This quilt has also been designed to be a slow make. My first thought? Make it a SCRAPPY blanket! For this project, I used only yarn scraps, partial skeins of yarn, or full skeins that I didn’t have any other project for. I knew this coming into it, and I was brainstorming ways to make it more manageable and appealing to you all.

It is exactly what I pictured when I first set out to create this pattern! And know I get to share it with you.īUT BEFORE YOU FREAK OUT… I KNOW! It looks like a lot of work and a lot of yarn. I am SO in love with how this turned out.
