When working with the charts, follow the legends for each pattern. The blanket can be knitted in any DK (UK weight) or equivalent yarn but check meterage and your own tension to ensure there is enough to finish the blanket as some yarns can be slightly thinner or thicker depending on the brand producing a difference in size. The pattern is designed so that you can add or subtract, in width or height, a pattern repeat to acquire the desired size. This particular blanket will definitely need to be fully blocked/pressed in order to open up the lacework pattern. Please see listing
