Hi Linda,
It all depends on how large you’d like to make the blanket. The repeated part of the pattern is 11 stitches and there are an extra 3 stitches for the selvage. So if you cast on any multiple of 11 plus 3 then the pattern will work. Making a swatch of at least 25 sts is probably the best way to work it out. Just remember not to measure the first two and last st when you measure for gauge.
