This hemlock blanket pattern is beautiful… would it make a difference if I used a different size of DPNS and then switch onto a larger circular? link: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hemlock-ring-blanket
It’s a stunning throw. Wonderful way to adapt a vintage pattern.
I don’t see why you couldn’t go to larger size needles depending on your yarn and how lacey you would like to make the throw.
