You’ll need
- 180 m (197 yd) for Child, 340 m (372 yd) for Adult of bulky weight yarn (Chunky), wool or wool blend
- 6 mm (US 10) needles
- Tapestry needle, Crochet hook for the fringe (optional)
- Gauge: 14 stitches and 28 rows to 10 cm (4 in) in garter stitch
Sizes: Child (15 × 110 cm), Adult (20 × 160 cm). Numbers for the bigger sizes are in brackets: cast on 80 (88, 96) means 80 for the first size, 88 for the second, 96 for the third.
Before you start
Slip the first stitch of every row with the yarn in front, then move the yarn to the back to knit. It makes a chain edge that looks finished.
