I’m sure your worsted version of the mitred squares blanket will be beautiful. When I’m knitting a blanket I tend to opt for a looser gauge than I’d use for knitting a sweater but tighter than I use for a shawl as I want the finished blanket to have some drape but I also want it to be durable. The only way of finding what you like is to knit a few different squares and see which finished fabric you like the best.
