HellsBells Jan 2018 10:19pm, 14 Jan 2018 23,382 posts	0 HellsBells I have one blanket - 20 x 8" squares - lying on the living room floor waiting for me to seam it tomorrow. That one's not too bad, it's a baby blanket and only 20 squares. TF however, requires a uni blanket of garter squares of max 4" square - we reckon it will end up about 250 of them. I hate bloody mattress stitch.

EvilPixie Jan 2018 1:04pm, 15 Jan 2018 12,819 posts	0 EvilPixie I gave 2 large balls of Aron which I thought would make a good large blanket and thought of using the pattern I did for gnome. But it’s 1 ball red 1 Black The pattern is a garter stitch top and bottom with a 6 row repeated pattern between. How should I split it? Black top and bottom with stripes every pattern repeat in between?
