GAUGE:

Each square approx 3 in x 3 in [7.5cm x 7.5cm] using size E/4 (3.50mm) crochet hook. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Traditional Granny Blanket Reviewed by Carmen Leticia Attie on 2010-07-04 *****
I made this blanket and it lo oks beautiful, it is very soft and cozy. I tried other colors (mocha, vainilla, green, brown, blue) because it is for a boy, everybody asked me where i got the idea.
