🔮 Resizing Tips (A Little Yarn Wizardry)
You can easily resize this pattern to fit your dream project — no spellbook required:

Change Your Hook Size
Larger hooks = bigger, drapier blanket
Smaller hooks = tighter, smaller finish
Expect a 5–10% size shift per 0.5 mm change.

Adjust Yarn Weight

#3 DK yarn creates a lighter, smaller blanket

#5 bulky yarn creates a larger, cozier blanket
Always swatch first to check your magic.

Add or Remove Border Width
Expanding your double/envelope border adds size without altering the chart — a perfect way to customize without changing stitch counts.

Modify Tension
Looser tension = larger finished piece
Tighter tension = smaller finished piece
Even small tension changes can shift the final dimensions by several inches.
