Another great thing is that she actually offers you a chance to change the size, so if you want to make one bigger blanket for your kid, teen or even for yourself or a friend, you can do so; on her page you will find instructions on how big the squares need to be for different sizes of the blanket, or you can simply use the original size just create more squares!
