Baby blanket yarn calculator
Estimate yarn for a baby blanket from finished size and measured swatch consumption.
How the calculation works
Measured swatch consumption is scaled to the finished blanket area. Border and joining yarn is added separately, followed by the selected safety margin.
Worked example
A 90 × 110 cm blanket with a 10% border allowance first adds yarn for 990 cm² of finishing area before the safety reserve.
Frequently asked questions
Is the border included in the safety margin?
No. Use the border field for planned edging or joining; the safety margin remains a separate reserve for variation.
