Materials used for cover in picture were: Red and white yarn: CASSIOPEIA by Schachenmayer Nomotta; Black yarn: Sirdar snowflake chunky; Yellow: Sirdar Bonus DK, used doubled. All yarns are available from www.blacksheepwools.com
You can use any chunky yarn, but the fleecy type ones will give a much fluffier and smoother blanket as it is worked entirely in garter stitch.
Please work off yardage rather than weight, as Snowflake is very light and yardage for 25g is the same as the yardage of 50g of Cassiopeia. I used 3 balls of red, 2 white, one black and a scrap of DK. If using snowflake throughout, in the red and white, you will still need only 3 balls of red and 2 white.
