Gauge/tension
Gauge is not very critical for this pattern. It’s cumbersome to match gauge for all the different stitch patterns. If you want to make sure your blanket measurements are similar to the sample blanket, match this gauge: 17 hdc and 16 rows measure 10 x 10cm (4 x 4in) with a 3.5mm hook. Check your gauge by working a gauge square:
With Colour A, ch26.
Row 1 (RS) Starting in the second chain from hook, work 25hdc, ch1, turn. [25 hdc]
Rows 2-17 25hdc, ch1, turn.
Row 18 25hdc, cut yarn. Then measure of your gauge is the same as described above.

Great pattern with great tutorial
Lovely pattern to work with. Beautifully written and of such wonderful taste.
I absolutely loved this pattern. The continuously changing stitches and colours meant it was always exciting and the pattern was very clearly written. I loved the suggestions of other patterns that use the stitches in the blanket.
Addictive! I have made 3 (different colour schemes) and plan more
