Measure Approx. From one edge to edge - 11 inches/ 28 cm
Keep checking your work after every round. The blanket
should gradually spread outward while maintaining the star shape, for more
sizes repeat increasing row.
0-3 months- Repeat the increase row for (11 Rows)
3-6 months- Repeat the increase row for (12 Rows)
6-9 months- Repeat the increase row for (14 Rows)
9-12 months- Repeat the increase row for (15 Rows)

the size you want.
For newborn cocoon/Sleep Sack, you can stop once you reach
the measurements needed for a newborn as shown in the video tutorial. For a
larger baby blanket, continue adding rounds.
