NEEDLES: To create this stunning blanket, you'll be knitting in one continuous piece back and forth using long circular knitting needles, specifically US sizes 13 or 15. This not only makes the project more enjoyable, but it also helps ensure a consistent tension throughout your work.
GAUGE: While exact gauge is not vital for this pattern, it is advisable to knit fairly tightly for the best appearance and overall drape of the blanket. With this project, you'll enjoy the perfect combination of comfort and style, making it an ideal choice for any knitting enthusiast.
Whether you're looking for a cozy addition to your home decor or a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Boulevard Blanket pattern is a fantastic choice that will keep you warm and stylish while showcasing your knitting skills. Dive into this delightful project and create something beautiful today!
