This is a very pretty pattern. I would like to make it to fit a king sized bed. I have never adjusted a pattern for size before. Could you please explain what is meant by "multiplies of 25 + 22 to desired width/length"? Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteTo work this to a king size, you'll need to chain in multiples of 25 until you are close to the width you want and then chain 22 more in order to account for all the stitches needed. I would suggest working a small swatch first so you can figure out how wide or 2 sections are prior to starting a larger project as the peeks of the chevron will pull the width in from what your foundation chain is.
