Blanket details and requirements:
-This pattern will work with most types of blankets, except knit and crochet; as these will unravel when cutting and comforters; as they are too bulky . Woolen, woven, light to mid weight quilt, synthetic, fleece, flannel are all good option.
-This pattern is offered in two sizes Small and Large. Small is suitable for sizes 2-12 and Large is suitable for sizes 14-20
-To work within this pattern your blanket will need to be a minim of 50” x 50” for size small or 60” x 60” for size Large. You are welcome to use a larger blanket then the minim. The bigger the blanket is the more length you will have to work with.
-Blankets with interesting details can be used. Ie. binding, tassels, blanket stitching
-Both sides of blanket will be visible from the front of the jacket. Please keep this in mind when choosing your blanket.
-StitchWorks will not have any blankets available. If you question if your blanket is suitable for this project please bring a second option.
