The weights and sizes up above are indicative only and will depend on your unique crocheting style combined with the actual yarn and crochet hook used. There is extra allowance in the yarn weight for each square, but I strongly recommend making a square with the chosen yarn and crochet hook to check the size and weight of each square first.
These are generally (but not always) 4ply / fingering weight yarn and there’s generally (but not always) 20g in each mini skein. This is the perfect combination to make a square.
49 mini skeins are needed to make a 1m x 1m (39in x 39in) blanket, or 100 mini skeins to make a 1.5m x 1.5m (59in x 59in) blanket, or 169 mini skeins to make a 2m x 2m (79in x 79in) blanket. Remember you don’t have to make the entire blanket in a year (maybe it’s multiple years of Yarn Advents) or you use a Yarn Advent plus yarn stash.
