Crochet Blanket Patterns Frequently Asked Questions
Should I make a blanket?
Crocheting a blanket requires significant time, energy, and yarn investment, but the results can be truly impressive. You should crochet a blanket if you have a lot of yarn that you want to use up and if you find a pattern you really like.
Why are crochet blankets so popular?
Blankets are “mindless” projects that do not require the maker to think much. For this fact, you can do multiple things like read or binge-watch Netflix shows while they make the blanket.
It’s often the first project any beginner can start with because of the simple rectangular (sometimes square) shape.
What is the quickest crochet stitch for a blanket?
A simple, repetitive stitch pattern is usually required if you want something that works up quickly. Anything based on the double crochet stitch should work up quickly, as should any open stitch pattern (with small gaps created by crochet chains).
What’s the difference between a crochet blanket, throw, afghan, lapghan, and baby blanket?
Blankets, throws, afghans, lapghans, and baby blankets are all references to crocheted fabric coverings. Blankets and afghans are the largest, with throws, lapghans, and baby blankets all referring to smaller sized versions.
How long does it take to crochet a blanket?
Crocheting a blanket takes about 20 hours on average. Casual crocheters can complete an average blanket in a month or two, but time frames vary depending on the complexity of the pattern and the thickness of the yarn, ranging from a week to a year.
What types of yarn is best for blankets?
If you’re looking for yarns that are easy to wash, consider acrylic fiber content or an easy care fiber like wool, cotton, linen, silk, or blends like cotton-wool blend.
Choose a natural fiber such as 100% alpaca wool or 100% merino wool if you want the best wool for blankets that will last longer. If you want the softest yarn for blankets, look for wool blends or premium acrylic yarns.
How many skeins of yarn for a blanket?
Crocheting a blanket requires 1-18 skeins of yarn, or approximately 900-4,000 yards. This will be determined by the size of your project and the number of colors used in the pattern. Expect more balls if you’re making something larger or incorporating multiple colors into one design!
The type of yarn also matters: thinner strands require more balling, whereas thicker strands can get away with a few inches added to their total number count.
Can you crochet a blanket in one day?
Yes, you can! Just look for a pattern that uses simple stitches, simple row repeats, and super chunky yarn to make a blanket in a day!
What is the best size for a crochet baby blanket?
Crochet baby blankets range from 11″ x 11″ for a lovey/security blanket all the way to 42″ x 60″ for a crib blanket.
What size should a crochet blanket be?
Crochet blankets are available in sizes ranging from 40″ x 48″ for a lapghan to 98″ x 110″ for a king-size blanket, and crochet throws are available in sizes ranging from 52″ x 60″ for a small throw to 60″ x 72″ for a large throw.
