The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Square DC Pattern!

If you’d like to achieve the same look like mine then you’re going to want to get a hold of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick. This yarn is perfect to make chunky cozy squares with. You’ll be amazed at how fast they can really work up once you get the hang of the pattern.

Extra: Take a look at the yarn below and let me know what you think. I used the colorway Celebration for my example.

Sew Together to Make a DC Square Blanket!

Once you finish all your squares you’ll want to use a yarn needle to sew the squares together to create your very own throw blanket as written below. Want a different size?

Take a peek at the chart below to see approximately how many squares will be needed for each size blanket when using this bulky 6 yarn.

Notes:

  • Each square has to be made to gauge at 5″ x 5″ for this chart to be accurate.
  • Each square weighs approximately 15 grams. This note will come in handy when you are trying to figure out yardage for each blanket size.

Pattern Note: If you do decide to use a different yarn weight or even brand as shown in the pattern the results may vary.
