What Size to make a throw type blanket?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I plan on making a blanket for my best friend as a birthday blanket, I want to make a blanket that is a little bigger than the size of an average throw but would not like it to be bigger than the size of a twin blanket. What size do you think I should make it?

A standard twin blanket is 66×85"
throw blankets 50×60"

2 yards of fabric is 72" and you can buy it 54" wide,
so after sewing the hem it would be about 71×53"
A little larger than a typical throw and smaller than a twin,
so around the perfect size you were planning.

The art of knitting magazine gives you a ball of wool to knit a 15cm by 15cm square to knit a throw / blanket (which appears to cover a double bed). I have 27 issues (therefore 27 squares to knit) so how many issues do you think it will take to knit the throw? Thanks.

can i wash my down feather blanket in the washer and dryer?

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

its smaller, not made for a bed, its a throw blanket but i just dont want to have to take it to the cleaners. is it going to damage the blanket to wash it in the washing machine and put it in the dryer?

I wash my down comforters, blankets, jackets, even sleeping bags, all the time! Put them in a front loader on gentle or handwash. If you don’t have access to a front-loader, you can still use a top loader, just go for the most gentle option. The first important trick is to NOT use detergent, because detergent damages the feathers. Use a gentle-wash SOAP, like Woolite.
Wash in cold water. It will look all clumpy when you take it out. Not to worry.
Now that you have it washed, you need to dry in the dryer on air fluff only (NO HEAT!). To avoid having it stay clumpy, you need to put something firm into the dryer with it that will move around at a different rate than the fluffy down item. A clean tennis ball is the classic suggestion, but I use a silicone oven mit, because I don’t happen to have a tennis ball! It works fine.
