How many skeins yarn for crocheting babette blanket?

Question

I'm making a babette blanket with three colors - white, baby pink and black. The size of the bed is 7x6 feet. So how many skeins of yarn or how many kgs. do I need per color to complete this blanket?

Answer 1

I would guess about 3 skeins per color.  Maybe 4.  A blanket that large takes a lot of yarn. I'm not sure what stitch you will be using, since I don't know what a babette blanket is, but my suggestion would be to buy 4 skeins in each color, just to be safe. Keep your reciept so that you can return any unused skeins. Good luck and have fun!!

Answer 2

Are you making it with squares?  Then buy one sample skein and crochet it all up and then measure what you have done.  If the pattern you have doesn't specify for the size you need, then that is all I can think of.  I don't know what a 'babette' blanket is, though.
