1) Work in Back Loop only throughout unless otherwise specified.
2) When working Rnd 3 of ccpat, Rnds 1 & 2 will pucker, creating a ruffle in the blanket.
3) Make a bigger blanket by repeating the pat.
4) Make a premie blanket by omitting one pat repetition.
5) Gauge is not important for this pattern, though you want to keep your stitches loose to produce a soft fabric.
