Yarn
Project shown with Hobby Lobby’s Aran Weight I Love This yarn in 5 colors for a stroller sized blanket 22 x 28:
100 yards: White
75 yards each of:
Color A: Soft Pink
Color B: Ocean
Color C: Orchid
Color D: Glacier
The pattern recommends 7 colors but for this project I chose white for the in between color and only 4 colors for the stripes.
How much yarn should I buy for different sized blankets?
Assuming a gauge of 4.5 stitches to the inch:
- Stroller: 400 yards for 22 x 28
- Baby: 700 yards for 28 x 36
- Small: 1000 yards for 34 x 40
- Medium: 1300 yards for 36 x 46
- Large: 1600 yards 42 x 50
