Depending on how large you want the blanket to be, you will need 900 – 1200 g multicolor yarn and 500 – 700 g of solid color and 4-5 mm hook – depending on yarn.

Please note that if you use wool, you will need more yarn than acrylic. I usually count for a normal sized blanket 130 x 180 cm 900 – 1000 g acrylic yarn and 1200 – 1500 g of wool yarn – depending on pattern, thickness of yarn, hook used and tension by crocheting.

My blanket:

Yarn: Multicolor: 600 g (socks wool 100 g = 420 m) 2 strands, unicolor: 500 g (2 strands of thin yarn with mohair effect)

The whole blanket is 70% wool, 20% polyamide and 5% acrylic

Hook: 5 mm

Dimensions: 130 x 180 cm
