Got this kit to make for one of my friends sister. I did take other reviews advice, and used a larger needle size, which I also like the drape more with the size 8. I am also a tight knitter. Easy knit, and love how it turned out overall
I made this as my first blanket for my first born grandson. It is his favorite blanket. Medium in weight. Buttery soft. Pattern is easy and fun to make.
I second Cheryl's review... a size 5 needle seems incorrect for this! I checked my gauge and also ended up with a more accurate gauge using a size 8 needle.
Hi Kerry - The needle in the pattern is based on what the designer used, and they may have a particularly loose knitting gauge. We're glad to hear that you found a needle size that let you match the blocked pattern gauge and hope that you enjoy the finished blanket.
This pattern is as cute as can be.
I started with a size 6 needle which is a bit larger than the pattern calls for...a size 5. Even a size 6 didn't get close to the gauge. I ended up using a size 8 circular needle.
Knitter beware....size 5 a very incorrect size needle.
