And, as well as selling the patterns separately, I&#8217;ve bundled them into a Turtle Beach Blanket multipack, including both the Classic Blue and Teal Ombr\u00e9 blanket patterns.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Patterns<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve packed these patterns full of information &#8211; each one includes complete row by row crochet instructions for the 8 most common classic afghan sizes, ranging from a small baby blanket through to a king size afghan. For each afghan size, the yardage for each colour is also provided, so you&#8217;ll be able to order all your yarn at once and know you have enough.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/images\/turtle_beach_schematics.jpg\" alt=\"Turtle Beach blanket crochet patterns (Classic Blue and Teal Ombre versions) by PlanetJune\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Blanket\/Afghan sizes included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Baby (approx 24&#215;32&#8243;, 60x80cm)<\/li>\n<li>Lapghan\/crib (approx 36&#215;48&#8243;, 90x120cm)<\/li>\n<li>Toddler (approx 40&#215;48&#8243;, 100x120cm)<\/li>\n<li>Throw (approx 48&#215;60&#8243;, 120x150cm)<\/li>\n<li>Twin (approx 60&#215;85&#8243;, 150x215cm)<\/li>\n<li>Full\/double (approx 74&#215;85&#8243;, 190x215cm)<\/li>\n<li>Queen (approx 80&#215;90&#8243;, 200x230cm)<\/li>\n<li>King (approx 96&#215;90&#8243;, 245x230cm)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Choosing Yarns<\/h2>\n<p>For this pattern I&#8217;ve used light worsted weight yarns (medium #4 weight), specifically Red Heart Soft and Bernat Satin. You don&#8217;t need to use exactly the same yarn as me &#8211; the most important factors are to find colours that you like and that work well together, and that are readily available to you!<\/p>\n<p>As worsted weight yarns can vary considerably in thickness and sheen, I also recommend that you try to choose yarns that are similar to each other if you can&#8217;t find all the shades you need within one brand and line of yarn. See my <a href=\"\/wwyarn\">worsted weight yarn comparison<\/a> for examples and my recommendations for which yarns can be mixed and matched.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a id=\"collection\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The Turtle Beach Collection<\/h2>\n<p>With the release of these patterns, I&#8217;ve also taken the opportunity to revamp all my other related patterns into a full <a href=\"\/turtlebeachcollection\">Turtle Beach Crochet Pattern Collection<\/a>.
