Online resources provide conflicting resources.
So what size?
24"x36"
30"x36"
36"x36"

I knit a 29x33 because I started to get bored of the project, it's still being used - so I would day 30 x 36

the overwhelming choice is 30"x36".
Loom is getting warped, the weft is wound on the shuttles and a way we go!
Thanks for all the responses.

(34,137 posts)So that is a pretty good guide. I have read discussion online by quilters about making larger ones, even twin size (70"x90" , so the child can use it for many more years.
