  5. I would like to knit this blanket for my first grandchild - it'll be the first piece of baby knitting I've ever done! How much wool would I need for the 30" blanket? Does this mean the blanket would measure 30" x 30"? Would I need to use circular needles for this size? Due to shielding, I am unable to get to a wool shop to ask any questions like this. Thanks.
