Although this blanket was designed for the Yarnsmiths Create DK & Glitter DK yarn (shades of which I will list below) you can use ANY double knit weight yarn with a 4mm hook that you fancy!
If you are looking to substitute the Yarnsmiths Create DK yarn, the details of the yarn I used are as follows
Confection Yarn - Material: 100% Acrylic
Yarn weight: DK
Ball weight: 100g
Length: 290m
The yarn (and quantities) I used for my personal blanket is as follows:
11 balls of Yarnsmiths Create DK with a 4mm Hook in the following shades:
-
Vintage Pink x 2
Rose Pink x 1
Petal Pink x 2
Stone Grey x 2
White x 2
White Glitter x 2
-
Petrol x 2
Seafoam x 1
Tropical Teal x 2

White x 2
White Glitter x 2
-
Anthracite Grey x 2
Gunmetal Grey x 1
Warm Taupe x 2
Parchment x 2
White x 2
White Glitter x 2
You will also need a pair of scissors, stitch markers (optional) and a large eyed needle for weaving in your ends.
Vintage Winter Blanket made using the Yarnsmiths Pink Yarn Pack
If your squares come out with slightly differing sizes, DONโT PANIC! As you can see from the photo above, once they are joined you will not notice.
When using the DK yarn with a 4mm hook my squares were roughly 13 cm (5โ) in size
My final blanket dimensions were 107 cm (42โ) wide by 135 cm (53โ) in length
This blanket is designed to be fun - not a stressful experience so please donโt worry, leave your perfectionism at the door! :D
THE JOINING
VIDEO TUTORIALS FOR THE JOINING
PLEASE NOTE: If you want to follow my blanket exactly, I used a Join AS YOU GO method for attaching my squares to each other. The video tutorial for the join is LIVE so you can watch how it is done then decide if it is the joining method you would like to use for your blanket or whether you would prefer to use another joining method entirely :)
Crochet Tight Join As You Go Video Tutorial - Watch below or find the written pattern HERE
If you prefer to join your crochet squares together AFTER you have made them (this is especially helpful if you are unsure of the layout or size of blanket you wish to make) then the video below has 3 joining methods you may wish to try!
