Materials
I used a combination of #4 med worsted weight yarn (white) and sport weight yarn (blue), as this was my stash busting blanket.
Stroller Size (30”x35”)-1210 yds I used 2 skeins of sports weight Bernat Baby Coordinates (388 yds each) in blue (Color A) & 2 skeins of worsted weight Loops & Threads Impeccable Glitter (217 yds each) in Ice Queen White (Color B). If you’d like to use all #4 med yarn you’ll need slightly less, about 1100 yds, or if using all sport weight yarn you’ll need more, about 1300 yds.
Throw Size (52” x59”)-2400 yds sport weight yarn or 2130 yds #4 med worsted weight yarn
Twin Size (59” x88”)-3500 yds sport weight yarn or 2840 yds #4 med worsted weight yarn
Divide yarn yards between Colors A/B evenly for throw or twin size, for stroller size 2/3 of yardage is in Color A, and 1/3 in Color B.
