Frequently Asked Questions
How many chains do I need for a blanket?
Divide your desired width by your stitch gauge (stitches per inch). For example, a 50-inch throw at 3.5 stitches per inch needs about 176 chains. Add 1-3 extra for the turning chain depending on your stitch pattern.
How much yarn do I need for a crochet throw blanket?
A throw blanket (50×60 inches) in worsted weight yarn typically needs 1,200-1,500 yards of yarn, or about 6-8 standard skeins. Bulky yarn needs less yardage but more skeins since each skein has fewer yards.
What is the best stitch for a crochet blanket?
Popular blanket stitches include: single crochet (dense, warm), half double crochet (good balance), double crochet (works up fast), and the granny stitch (classic look, uses less yarn). Choose based on desired thickness and how quickly you want to finish.
