Tension is not critical for the Blanket; the finished measurements will be approx 138x138cm (54 x 54 in) if you make your motifs to the sizes stated. The fully reversible Jumper is one size only with an actual Bust measurement of approx 120cm (47 in), although there are guidelines at the end on how to adjust for a larger size. If you want to make sure your Jumper comes out at this size, check that your motifs are the sizes stated, adjusting your hook size if necessary.

CAL NOTES
There are nine different motifs that make up the CAL, and you can use these motifs to make either a Blanket or a Jumper. In each issue we will give you instructions to make a different motif, along with how many motifs you will need if you are making a Blanket, and how many for a Jumper. You will need twice the number of motifs to make the Blanket. There is one motif each issue for the first nine parts, and the final part will include instructions on how to make up your Blanket or Jumper.
A bonanza of colour and brimful of cheer, our two-in-one crochet-along puts the ‘CAL’ in ‘superCALifragilisticexpialidocious’! Hook up the motifs month by month, and choose to make up a bright jumper or bold blanket.
