Substitution Notes Choose a worsted weight yarn with easy care instructions. While a wool blend or superwash wool makes the colour changes easy and minimizes the number of ends to sew in (because of the spit splicing technique), an acrylic blanket will be easy to launder.
Techniques Increases/decreases, cable cast on, picking up stitches, no seams, modular knitting, spit splicing (optional).
