Why would you put a size 6 or 4mm if it calls for a size 10. Very confusing. I started with a size 6. Will let you know how it turns out. I figure about a 36 x 36 inch square for finished blanket.

Don't know if you got an answer or if you figured it out for yourself, but if you look where it says "Materials" in the beginning of the pattern it says 6mm (US10) Circular Knitting Needle 32 inches long or size needed for guage.
