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 />
