The amount of yarn required for a blanket depends on the size of your blanket and the stitches used. Therefore you would need 120 rows to have a blanket that is 40″ wide. For example, if you 12 rows in 4″ and you want your blanket to be 40″ high, you would divide 4 by 40 = 10 and then multiply 10 x 12 = 120. Therefore you would need 136 starting chains to make a blanket that is 36″ wide.įollow similar math for determining the height of your blanket except that you don’t need to add anything. As you would normally need 1 extra starting chain for single crochet stitches, you would add 1 to 135. If you have 15 single crochet stitches for example in 4″ and you want your blanket to be 36″ wide, you would divide 4 by 36 = 9 and then multiply 9 x 15 = 135. ![]() Then count the number of rows within 4″ of your swatch.

Make note of what the pattern instructions are for adjusting the size. To calculate the number of starting chains for a blanket, complete a swatch following your pattern or your preferred stitches.
