When made to the gauge suggested, the squares measure approximately 6.25” square. The sample is baby blanket size, it measures 26” x 32.5”. Of course you can knit this pattern in any yarn and gauge that you like, but note that this will change the yardage requirements. POP is a fabulous project for using up colourful scraps of leftover yarn. **Yarn** 1 Square = 15 yds CC (circles), 20 yds MC (white) baby blanket size (20 squares): 300 yds CC, 400 yds MC *(I used Noro Kureyon in colours 272 and 284 for CC and Cascade Ecological Wool in colour 8010 for MC)* **Needles** US # 9 / 5.5 mm (or as required to meet gauge); double pointed or circular needles **Gauge** 16 sts / 4” in stockinette stitch *(gauge not crucial for this project)* **Notions** 4 stitch markers, darning needle, crochet hook **Helpful Tutorials** [POP blanket tutorial][5] ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- for all pattern abbreviations, techniques, and to contact us, visit [www.tincanknits.com][6] ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- [1]: http://tincanknits.com/index.html [2]: http://eepurl.com/k5p8L [3]: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/mad-colour/patterns [4]: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/mad-colour/patterns [5]: http://blog.tincanknits.com/2012/05/30/pop-blanket-tutorial/ [6]: http://tincanknits.com/
