How Much Wool Do I Need to Make an Ohhio Blanket?

So you want to make a super chunky knit blanket, but you don’t know how much yarn to get. Perhaps you don’t know what yarn is right for you. And how much would you need to cast on once it arrives? No worries, we have you covered. Let’s talk about your Ohhio DIY options.

Unspun chunky wool is soft, airy, and delicate. Don’t let the size of the skein fool you — you might need more wool than you expect to make a blanket:

• Small Size (30” x 50” / 75 x 125 cm ) — 5.5 lb / 2,5 kg

• Medium Size (40” x 60” / 100 x 150 cm ) — 8.8 lb / 4 kg

• Large Size (50” x 70” / 125 x 175 cm ) — 12.2 lb / 5.5 kg

• Extra Large Size (60” x 80” / 150 x 200 cm ) — 16.6 lb / 7.5 kg

Here’s how many stitches you need to cast on:

Small Size (30” x 50” / 75 x 125 cm) — 12 stitches
Medium Size (40” x 60” / 100 x 150 cm) — 17 stitches
Large Size (50” x 70” / 125 x 175 cm) — 20 stitches
Extra Large Size (60” x 80” / 150 x 200 cm) — 24 stitches
