Hold up the chain to your body. Maybe you'd like it 50 or 60 inches long....then you can launch into the stitches and create rows until the width is what you'd like. How fun to make a large one!Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670002900625092259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611352990646835361.post-36593857780191627382015-04-17T21:20:16.049-06:002015-04-17T21:20:16.049-06:00Im hoping to make an adult version of this.

So I would recommend making your initial chain the length (or width) of one of your twin coverlet dimensions and then work the blanket until it's long enough in the other dimension. I'm not sure how you would plan for the yarn but I would think you would need about 4 times what this afghan calls for.Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670002900625092259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611352990646835361.post-89038874790868148882014-10-13T09:21:17.904-06:002014-10-13T09:21:17.904-06:00I would like to make this blanket to fit a twin si...I would like to make this blanket to fit a twin size bed.

I was very surprised at how soft and comfy it was. I finished it off with a crab stitch (rev sch). I used three stands (two pink and 1 white as I didn't have enough grey to do the entire border), and I love how it gave the blanket a finishing look while adding a little more color. It was a very easy pattern and came together really quickly too. Thanks for sharing the magic knot tutorial too.
