Want the exact chain and row count for one of these? Use the Blanket Size Calculator with your own gauge.
Blanket sizing is more flexible than garment sizing — there's no single "correct" size for a throw or bed blanket, only conventions that most makers follow. Use this chart as a starting point and adjust based on personal taste, how the blanket will be used, and how much yarn you're willing to buy. For bed blankets, remember the goal is usually drape and coverage rather than an exact mattress match.
What is a standard throw blanket size?
A standard lap or throw blanket is about 115 x 145cm (45 x 57in) — enough to cover an adult on a sofa without dragging on the floor.
How much bigger should a blanket be than the bed?
For good drape and coverage, add roughly 30-40cm of overhang past the mattress edge on each side that hangs, on top of the mattress's own width and length.
Do I need to plan my gauge to hit these sizes exactly?
Yes — once you pick a target size from this chart, run it through the Blanket Size Calculator with your own gauge to get an exact chain and row count.
