This depends on the size of yarn and needles you are using and the size of blanket you want to produce. Knit a gauge sample using the yarn and needles you plan to use for the project. Use the instructions on the yarn label to estimate how many stitches you need to cast on for a four-inch gauge square. Then measure your square and calculate how many stitches you really have per inch. Be sure to measure across four inches and divide by four for the most accurate count. Measuring just one inch can lead to large differences between what you plan and what you get.
Once you know how many stitches to the inch you are knitting, figure out how many inches wide you want your blanket. Multiply the width of the blanket by the number of stitches per inch and you'll know how many stitches to cast on for your blanket.
Many people resist making a gauge square because they want to start the project right away, not waste time knitting a square they'll just throw away later. However, gauge can vary so much that it really is important to check before starting a project. I have socks on the needles right now at 15 stitches to the inch and a stole at 6 stitches to the inch. There are almost three times as many stitches to the inch in my socks than in my stole. If I used my stole gauge for my socks, I'd have socks three times larger than my feet! So take the time to check your gauge and save heartbreak later on from having a project not turn out the way you'd like.

∙ 13y agoBaby blankets can be whatever size you choose. There are many beautiful patterns available and the sizes vary quite a bit.
In general terms, if the baby is a preemie, the afghan can be smaller. About 15" square will work for really tiny babies though you could easily make it larger because they will grow into it.
For a full term baby, 30" to 40" square or 30" x 36" if you want a rectangular afghan would be a good general size.

∙ 11y agoIt depends on your pattern, type of yarn, and how many colours you have in the blanket. I made a queen size blanket in squares loops and threads impecables yarn 6 balls red, 6 black and 6 arran, 8 balls of the varigated (some times they have less in them then the plain colours).
If you're going to a store then I would suggest getting every colour at the same time so you get the same dye lot.

There are lots of free patterns on the internet. If you look up a few you'll get some idea of the amount involved.Wiki User

You would need to specify the hook size, yarn name and thickness. Yarns vary enormously in how far they go. Try making a six inch square, weighing it on good kitchen scales and estimating from there.
How many yarn needed to crochet a twin blanket crochet ball bring 300 yds?
How much yarn you need to make any afghan depends on the hook you are using, the weight of the yarn and the pattern you are making. If you are using bulky yarn it will take a different amount than sport or worsted yarn, to make the same pattern. The amount of yarn used also varies depending on the stitch being used. For example, an afghan made entirely in single crochet will use more yarn than one made using double or triple crochet. There are so many different yarn types with each being a different number of yards and ounces that it is difficult to determine which yarn you are thinking of using. Just to give a very rough estimate, say you are using Red Heart Super Saver worsted yarn which is 364 yards in 7 ounces, you could estimate a need of perhaps 7 skeins to make a twin size afghan (about 2500 yards). That is a VERY rough estimate. But again, there are so many variables. Note that a lighter weight yarn will take more to get to the same finished size as a worsted weight blanket. If you are able to make a swatch of the yarn you are considering, you can figure how much you need from the swatch by matching how much yarn the swatch takes and the size of the swatch. Just multiply it out to the size you want. That will give you an idea of how much yarn you need.

What is the best size for crochet single bed blanket?
A twin bed is 39" x 75". An X-large twin is 39" x 80". You'd want your afghan to be a bit wider since there will be a body lifting it up and you may want it to go a bit over the sides of the bed. The length is flexible since you would only need the afghan to cover the part of the bed below the pillow.
What are the measurements of a twin blanket?
Twin size flat blankets are 66 inches by 96 inches. The top blanket (comforter) is 68 inches by 86 inches. The mattress and fitted sheet are 39 inches by 75 inches. If you are making a blanket, I normally order 2 yards worth, more if the person is taller than average.

How many yards of yarn does it take to crochet a twin size afghan using an H hook and single crochet stitches?
You would need to know what yarn you are using - sport, worsted, bulky - and what pattern. Different stitches will use different amounts of yarn. Single crochet is more dense than double crochet and would use more yarn to make the same size finished product. Afghan stitch is also dense with same result. With worsted yarn I would estimate 2500-3000 yards. That is a really rough estimate, however, without more information. Your chosen pattern should specify the yarn to be used and how much. If you want to substitute yarn, you can compare other yarns with the same weight, number of ounces and yards.
