Hi there! I just left a comment on ravelry regarding this pattern. Could you provide a photo of the blanket in its entirety? I'm curious how the window pane pattern looks across the full blanket. Mucho gracias!

Hi, I’m just starting the Windowpane throw. I am wonderIng how to continue after the large pane, 40 rows, and the small pane, 20 rows. Do they alternate large small or does the small continue and the last pane is the large one.
Hope you can help.
