Yarn Supplies for the Spring Rhapsody Blanket

*This post contains affiliate links.  You can click on any yarn or material highlighted to purchase.  I will receive a small commission if you purchase but it won’t cost you any extra!  As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

I used the same yarn choice as my other two Rhapsody blankets – Paintbox Cotton Aran. I love the stitch definition in this yarn – perfect way to display these fabulous stitches. However, if you aren’t a big fan of cotton – the Paintbox Simply Aran yarn is really soft and lovely with the same color packs available.

If you would like to make your blanket in the same yarn and colors as mine you can find it on LoveCrafts. You will need 3 packs of the 10 ball Color Pack called Tudor Garden in Cotton Aran to make the Lap size blanket. You will also have enough left over to make the matching pillow as well. The Cotton yarn comes in small balls of just 1.7 oz so if you decide to go with the Acrylic Simply Aran yarn the balls have 3.5 oz so you will need a lot less in the Simply Aran. The individual colors I used are listed below in the supply list.

Pick the 10 ball color pack that you like best – I think I would like to make another Spring Rhapsody in the Festival color pack as it has my favorite color green included.

However, this blanket is intended to be a happy stash scrap buster – bust out those tubs of yarn and find the colors that work best for you!

Total yarn needs:  33.7 oz / 1870 yds

Approximate finished size: 49” tall x 38” wide (pattern as written)

Resizing approximate sizes:

Lap:  38” wide
Throw:  48” wide
Twin:  68 1/2” wide
Full:  85 1/2” wide
Queen:  92” wide
King:  109” wide

Resizing info approximate total yardage needs

Note:  In order to make your blanket longer (taller) to the below specifications, you will be choosing your own rows to repeat.  As this is a stitch sampler blanket, the stitches will vary in yarn needs.  For example, a row of standard double crochet will not use as much yarn as a row of puff stitches.  So, the totals provided below are approximate.  I used 10 colors fairly evenly throughout the pattern so divide yardage by 10 to approximate individual color usage.

As written:  Lap: 38” wide x 49” tall = 1870 yds 
Throw:  48” wide x 60” tall = 3066 yds
Twin:  68 1/2” wide x 85” tall = 3600 yds
Full:  85 1/2” wide x 90” tall = 3900 yds
Queen:  92” wide x 90” tall = 4200 yds
King:  109” wide x 109” tall = 4700 yds

    I am so excited about this CAL. I love to make shawls and I just found your website as the Flower Triangle shawl pattern caught my eye. So did this CAL – my first CAL ever and my first attempt at making a blanket. I have loads of yarn in my stash that I think would work for this project. Thank you for a lovely pattern. I hope I can keep up.
