Yarn Recommendations
The Layered Petal Bloom Granny Flower Square pattern is designed using DK (Double Knitting) yarn, which is commonly used in the UK, Europe, and Australia.
Recommended Yarn Weight
- DK / Light (3) / 8-ply
- Works well with cotton, cotton blends, or soft acrylics
Yarn used in photo tutorials
- 100% Cotton DK
- 50g = 100m
- Hook size: 3 mm
Stash-Buster Friendly
You can use:
- Any DK yarn
Any fibre you enjoy working with
Just remember:
- Lighter yarn + smaller hook = smaller square.
- Heavier yarn + larger hook = bigger square.
Yarn Length Requirements
- Based on DK cotton (100m per 50g ball):
- 3 to 4 large squares: ~400 m total
- Using 5 colours (each 100m), you’ll get 3 large squares minimum
Full Blanket (12 Squares)
- Squares only: approx 4800 m
- Border + finishing: 1000–1200 m
Tension & Gauge Notes
- To ensure consistent square size:
- Use the same yarn weight throughout
- Stick to the same hook size
- All squares are worked in the round
- Keep an eye on stitch counts per side so squares join neatly later
- Weaving in ends as you go is strongly recommended (unless you love a long finishing day!)
Estimate the yarn you'll need based on your project size, yarn weight, and stitch pattern.
