RESIZING
Resizing & Border Guide
Blanket Size Calculator
Step 1 : Convert Square Size
- Extra large afghan square = 48 cm = 0.48 m
Step 2 : Calculate Squares Per Side
Formula:
- Blanket Width ÷ 0.48 = Squares Across
- Blanket Height ÷ 0.48 = Squares Down
Round up to nearest whole square.
Step 3 : Total Squares
Squares Across × Squares Down = Total Squares
Step 4 : Yarn Estimate
Total Squares × 280–300 m
+ 10–15% for joins/border
Example Calculation
- Desired Blanket: 150 × 200 cm
- Squares Across:150 ÷ 48 = 3.125 → 4 squares
- Squares Down:200 ÷ 48 = 4.16 → 5 squares
- Total Squares:4 × 5 = 20 squares
- Base Yarn:20 × 280–300 m = 5,600 – 6,000 m
- With Border/Joins:≈ 6,150 – 6,900 m
Quick Reference Rule
- 1 square = ~290 m average
- Add 10–15% extra yarn
- Always round square count up
