Knitting 20 inches?

Question

Hi! My cousin is having a baby and want to knit him a blanket. I want the blanket to be 20inches long and wide. With the needles I am using, I can't mesure how long the stitches are. How many stitches should I cast on. I have already started and can not change needles. But either way have much more to go in casting on and really wish you could help me...

Answer 1

Look at the label on the yarn.  It will tell you how many stitches, on what size needles, make a square.  Multiply the number of stitches they state, by the number of times you need to knit to achieve the 20"

An example would be 10 stitches on size 7 needles= 5". You want 20", so multiply 10 X 4- 40 stitches, on #7 needles.
