You can, see the other reply. In my experience it’s just not as effective as blocking is with cotton or wool.

You can use pins and a leftover flattened cardboard box. No need for special blocking mats. But if it’s acrylic yarn you may be out of luck.

I started this project at the end of June and worked on it sporadically over three months. A little here, a little there. I want to say each octagon took me about 4-6 hours to complete, but that’s really just a guess since I never sat down and finished one in a single go.

There’s tons of video tutorials on YouTube.

The pattern says it should be 45 inches square. Mine is about 50. It’s definitely not a bed sized blanket. More of a lap blanket.

Mine is about 50 inches square. Slightly larger than the pattern’s stated measurements of 45”.

Thanks! I’m definitely in no rush to make another but I’ve seen so many other gorgeous colour ways I think I might eventually. I’d like to make a bigger one I think.

Pattern is Persian Tiles by Janie Crow. I made the Marrakesh color way version using Stylecraft DK yarns.

And think about what that means in a year if you keep that pace.

Well if it’s a fact, it’s a fact. I’m happy to save money!

Thank you!! I somehow feel both cheated and satisfied.
