For my personal project I am making a 3 x 4 ft blanket (136 chns ) using Loops & Threads Yarn:
Creme Cotton
jdoqocy.com/click-100216280-13492653?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmichaels.com%2Fcreme-cotton-yarn-by-loops-and-threads%2F10655051.html&cjsku=10655051

Colors:
Med 4 weight (324 yards in each skein)
(1) Pastel Pink
(1) Rose Sands
(1)Cream
(1)Oceans Celadon
(1)Deep Celadon
(1) Ice Blue

It looks like I'm going to need 6 skeins (in total) to complete this. To determine my yardage, I worked up one complete ripple (2 rows) in the length I want my blanket. Then, I pulled it apart and measured the yardage. I divided that into the yardage of one skein and determined I would need 5 skeins. I decided to get 6 to take into account the tails, mistakes and border.

CROCHET US vs UK CROCHET

Chain (chn) is the same for both
US single (sc) = UK double crochet (dc)
US half double (hdc) = UK half treble (htr)
US double (dc)= UK treble (tr)
US triple (treble) (tr) = UK double treble (dtr)
US double triple (treble) (dtr)= UK triple treble (trtr)
