For knitting looms (Shawl requires 40 pegs, Blanket requires 80). Blanket is 20 x 20 or 27 x 27 inches depending on the yarn and gauge you use.  The Shawl about 18 wide x 56 inches long and you can make it longer. I love the designs on the pattern, it can be hand knitted if you  follow the charts. Very clear, easy to follow directions.
