Kogo Squares for Blankets
If you are interested in making squares for blankets, please feel free to do so. We do not
expect you to make enough squares for a complete blanket as we have a team of
wonderful volunteers who assemble blankets for us, so if you would like to use up some
spare balls of wool, or part balls, please just follow the sizing below so when we receive
your squares they will be the same size as others we have received and can be easily
combined into a complete blanket.
Crochet squares are equally acceptable provided the sizing is the same as the straight
knitted squares (i.e. 20cm x 20cm)

For a cot blanket we recommend using 5 x 5 squares giving a blanket sizing of
approximately 1m x 1m.

approximately 1.2m x 1.6m.
