Sprinkles or 2-3oz. skeins; 1 circular needles size 8 (I used circs because I
can hold more stitches comfortably with them).

over on a purl side, wrap the yarn around the needle twice); tog:

Bind off and sew in ends
This blanket came out big enough for a comfortable lapghan, or a decent sized
baby blanket. To make it bigger, just keep increasing until you have the desired
amount of stitches on the needle, then do half that amount before the decrease.
I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do, Leah
