I used Blue Sky Fibers Sweater heavy worsted yarn in the Sea Horse colorway. Solid color yarn recommended.

Exact gauge is not essential. This stitch pattern looks best with fairly tight stitches.

Blanket knit flat, in one piece, back and forth on circular knitting needles in order to accommodate large number of stitches.

You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, read a row by row knitting pattern, bind off stitches and weave in ends.

Blocking of finished knitting is highly recommended.
