I have created a video tutorial as well as a pictorial within the pattern to allow for clear instruction on how to create the sc2tog or single crochet cluster stitches.

the Gauge is 3sts (appr. 1.5 cluster sts) and 3 rows = 1” squared

The caron one pound is a much stiffer yarn so if you are wanting to substitute yarn I would advise making a swatch first to determine if your gauge is correct and then make adjustments as necessary. The adjustments you can make are to go up or down a hook size.

As stated there are a variety of sizes in this blanket:
Baby
Crib
Twin
Full
Queen
King

If you make a Simon Blanket I would love to see it! Please tag me on social media @yarnhookneedles or you can use the tag #simonblanket

Thank you so much!
