The Land of Counterpane, inspired by the Robert Louis Stevenson poem of the same name, is warm blanket, comforting whether you're sick in bed or sitting on the couch for a major Netflix binge session.  The yarn specified in the book (What (Else) Would Madame Defarge Knit?) has since been discontinued, but there are a plethora of suitable substitutes out there.  The trickiest part is the Judy's Magic Cast-On at the beginning; from there, you just knit in the round from the center out to the edge.

• Yarn - approx. 1,300 yards Aran weight yarn, preferably superwash
• Needles - US 10.5/6.5mm circular needle.  You will ultimately need a 60"/152cm cable, but in the beginning, you'll want DPN's or two shorter needles.
