by: Ratchadawan

I found a helpful site for yarn yardage calculation at;

Knitting Calculator

Although, it doesn't calculate circular blanket, but it give you an idea of how much yarn you'll need for certain sizes of square blankets.

I tried calculating the one that closest to your size which is 36'X36" and this requires about 1570 yards of sport yarn. It will need a little more for smaller yarn, so I would suggest buying at least 1800 - 2000 yards which is around 5 balls of 100g sock yarn.


Thanks for visiting!
