  1. Please help with specifics for the Charlie Babe Blanket.
    DK (8 ply) yarn ... how much? I'm not good at guessing, and don't currently live in a country where it's easy to go back and find more of what I need. Thanks so much.

  12. Is this blanket done with a variegated yarn? It looks like two separate colors used; rows are same colors.

    1. No - this is not variegated yarn - the pattern stitch has lots of texture and it makes it look this way with just a self-coloured yarn. M xx
