FAQ

Let’s answer some frequently asked questions.

1. How many squares do I need for a blanket?

The number of squares depends on the size of the squares and the blanket. You can use our crochet block calculator to determine how many blocks you need for your desired size.

Of course, it’s a great idea because mixing different squares adds texture to the project. Just make sure they’re the same size and gauge for a cohesive final piece.

It depends on the project. For blankets, acrylic yarn is popular due to its warmth, durability, and easy care. For wearables or home decor, cotton and blends are also great choices.

A consistent gauge is key, but blocking will also help even out slight variations in size. Check your gauge often, especially if you’re using different stitches or yarns.
