NOTES
vð Gauge is not important to this project  so you may use other weights of yarn as well. Just make sure you are
using a comfortable hook for the yarn you choose.
vð An I hook with worsted weight yarn should give you around an 18 blanket square.

doesn t show through
vð Use stitch marker to hold your place when working in continuous rounds
