My daughter-in-law would like me to knit this blanket for her, and I have questions:
- It looks like basic stockinette stitch to me - is that right?
- It looks like some kind of super-chunky chenille, I think - can anyone suggest weight and/or brands for this?
- I think it looks like I would need size 17 needles?
- Now, the trickiest part: How can I figure out how many stitches to cast on, and how many yards of yarn are needed, for a 60"x80" blanket?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! I’m used to knitting Aran blankets with lots of cables on size 9 needles, so this is way out of my comfort zone.
