      PLEASE NOTE **
      There was originally an error in this pattern ~
      The purl rows should read
      S1, k5, purl to last 6sts, k6

      Sorry. I have corrected the instructions now.

    Marianne when you mention :Repeat from ** to ** three times more do you mean to repeat row 11 to 14 3x? Thanks

      You repeat all the rows between ** and **
      The first ** is before row 15
      The second ** is after row 38
      So you repeat ALL of these rows - That is rows 15 - 38.
      Hope this helps . M

    If making the 30'jordon blanket with 176 stitches, how many extra rows do i need to do and approx how much wool will it take, thank you

      Usually I make blankets the same length as they are wide.
      So if you have 30" width - work until you have 30" in length :)

    What does S1 mean at the start of a row? Is it possible to make booties and a hat from this pattern? I am happy to pay for the patterns because I appreciate your talent.

    Thank you.

    Hiya Marianna, I'm currently making this blanket following your pattern & I'm maybe just over half way through & I'm wondering, I'm making the 24" size & I assume if I was to follow the written pattern I would end up with 24" by 15".. What rows would I need to repeat & could you tell me how many times to get to 24"?, I assume it would be the 15-38 X3 bit I would need to do more of but if I do it an extra 2 times would the bit where I repeat 15-24 for the last bit work out well with the bumps?
    Hope I've made sense, thank you

      To add length - repeat rows 15 - 38 until you are happy with the length of your blanket. Happy knitting. M

    What is the purpose of the s1 since it's only at the beginning of the even rows and unless I'm doing it wrong, its leaving holes on the one side of my project.
