you will want to go beyond this size. However, if you do,<br />

the CO numbers would be as follows:<br />

Square 13: 2330<br />

Square 14: 3770<br />

Square 15: 6<strong>10</strong>0<br />

a free carpal tunnel operation!)<br />

To add a border, pick up and knit every stitch along one side<br />

of the blanket.<br />

In garter stitch knit 14 rows (7 ridges). Bind off loosely.<br />

Repeat this along each edge in turn.<br />
