What you need to know

It’s time to add the finishing touch to your blanket - the border! In order to be as economical as possible and reduce waste yarn, the border is designed to use up leftovers. If you have knitted to tension, you should have 25g of yarns C and E left, which should be enough for the border as approximately 23-24g are needed. However, if you don’t have this amount, save yarns C and E for pompoms and use yarns F, D or G instead. You will definitely have enough A and B, so use these colours as stated.

"Due to the meditative qualities of its gentle repeating textures, this blanket is guaranteed to make you more relaxed as you knit"
