Choice of design

If you decide to crochet a blanket, you must decide on its design. When choosing a bedspread design, you should pay attention to the following points.

1. Product functionality - why do you need a blanket? If you use it only as an element of decor, you can choose any openwork volumetric schemes (you are limited only by your knitting skills in crochet) and synthetic, knitted yarn. Also use ribbons, beads. A blanket that needs to be warmed is suitable for wool or plain yarn using simpler, tight-knit patterns. For a plaid that combines these two qualities, it is necessary to find a compromise: if it is synthetic, then it is only tightly knitted, if the openwork patterns, then with fewer holes, using wool or plain yarn.Covers designed for seating should not have bulk knitting, beads. And for products that protect furniture from pollution, it is better not to use openwork schemes.

2. Type of knitted products - you need a blanket for the sofa, beds, chairs? The size of the bedspread depends on it. Use standard sizes: double bed - 220x240 cm; a small sofa 150x210 cm; chair - 130x170 cm (more sizes can be found on the Internet). Or measure the parameters of your furniture. Do not forget that the blanket should be thrown over the back (for a sofa, chair), hang from the sides, bottom (for a sofa, chair).
