My Sand Sea Sky Blanket Crochet Pattern includes instructions for the following sizes: Throw Afghan, Twin, Full Double, Queen, & King. This unique ocean inspired blanket is designed with texture in mind. I hope you enjoy making this one of a kind blanket. Each size blanket will differ slightly in the sky. The one I made is a King size. I will be creating different skies for this blanket and add on motifs in the future for this collection. So check back in the future for more designs! Dimensions for each blanket size is listed below.

Dimensions and yarn: The sizes below are for the top of a bed without a drape, if you want to add a drape over the sides of a bed, I would suggest either adding tassels or continue making the border larger. The yarn needs are for Red Heart Super Saver Ombre and Fleck Yarn in 10 oz skeins or 482 yards.

Color A: Sand 1: I used Red Heart Super Saver in Aran Fleck.

Color B: Sand 2: I used Red Heart Super Saver in Buff Fleck.
