MATERIALS

8 skeins of merino wool Rubí Cool Wool.

Scissors

Stitch marker or a small piece of yarn in a different color.

Measurements: approximately 110x150.

Note: to facilitate the work, we can unwind the skeins of yarn and turn them into balls.

HOW TO MAKE THE RUBÍ COOL WOOL BLANKET?

Take a ball of yarn, remove the label, and make a loop at one end, tying it with a loose knot.

Insert three fingers through the hole that has formed and in that way, take the end of the yarn coming from the skein and create another loop, then remove your fingers.

Do the same through the new loop that has formed until you have a braid of about 25 stitches (25 ears, each ear shape is a stitch) Note: if you want to make a larger or smaller blanket, simply adjust the number of stitches according to the desired size.

Now, insert your fingers into the middle of the last loop, which will be on the left, and take a strand of yarn to form new loops towards the right. Do not make the loops too small or too tight, but try to make them more or less the same size.

Note: each time you start a row of loops, the next row will start in the last loop of the previous row. Do the same for all the loops of each ear/stitch of the first braid, and so on, moving to the next until you reach the end of the strip, finishing on the right side.

Note: each time you start a row of loops, the next row will start in the last loop of the previous row.

As you make the different rows of loops, you will see how the previous loops turn into ears and the one you are working on is a row of loops.

Each time you need to join a new ball of yarn, take the end of the ball that is running out and the end of the new ball, open them with your fingers, place one on top of the other, and comb them with your fingers so that the fibers join into a single ball.
