Gauge:
I
got
roughly
7sts
per
inch,
but
gauge
really
doesn't
matter
with
this
project.
In
fact,
I
think
it
gives
the
varied
texture
of
the
blanket
some
added
interest!

Part 2: Beginning a
Second Square
Pick
up
23
stitches
from
the
left
edge
of
the
first
square
(the
diagonal
decrease
should
be
pointing
to
the
left)
then
cast
on
23
more
stitches
using
whatever
method
is
most
comfortable
for
you.
*I
use
the
knitted
cast
on
method,
but
the
backwards
loop
method
will
work
as
well,
it
just
won't
be
as
sturdy
and
will
make
your
bottom
row
of
your
blanket
stretchy*
Repeat
rows
1-‐3
as
you
did
for
the
first
square
Now
you
have
begun
the
bottom
edge
of
your
blanket.
Continue
with
Part
2
to
make
your
first
row
as
long
as
you'd
like
it
to
be.
Part 3: Beginning a
New Row
Cast
on
23
stitches
using
your
preferred
method
(again,
I
use
the
knitted
method,
but
long-‐tail
will
work
as
well
here)
then
pick
up
23
stitches
from
the
top
edge
of
the
first
square
in
your
blanket.
Repeat
rows
1-‐3
as
you
did
for
the
first
square
When
you
want
to
begin
your
second
square
(and
each
subsequent
square)
in
your
second
row,
you
will
pick
up
stitches
from
the
left
edge
of
the
first
square
and
the
top
edge
of
the
square
below.
Some
important
things
to
remember
when
starting
your
scrap
blanket:

• If
you
plan
to
use
all
types
of
sock
or
fingering
weight
yarn,
you
will
definitely
need
to
plan
to
hand
wash
your
blanket.
If
you
use
superwash
wool
only,
you
can
probably
get
away
with
tossing
it
in
the
washing
machine
(and
even
the
dryer,
if
you're
feeling
daring).
• Most
likely
all
your
yarn
has
not
been
pre-‐washed
(and
who
really
pre-‐washes
yarn
anyway?!)
so
beware
of
colors
like
bright
fire
engine
red
and
indigo
blues;
these
colors
will
very
likely
bleed
onto
the
squares
around
it
when
washed.
I
try
my
best
in
my
blanket
to
put
bright
reds
next
to
very
dark
colors
so
that
a
bit
of
bleeding
won't
really
matter.
