Blanket Progress Counter
Track rows, sections, and targets.
How Blanket Progress Counter Works?
The Blanket Progress Counter works by counting Blanket Rows toward a Target Rows goal and showing how much of the blanket is done.
Set the goal
Press → to set Target Rows from your row gauge and blanket length.
Count each row
Tap the count pad or press Space as each blanket row ends.
Read progress
Divide Blanket Rows by Target Rows for the share done.
Plan skeins
Use progress to check yarn use against the skeins you have.
Blanket Progress Counter Formula
The Blanket Progress Counter formula is progress = rows done ÷ target rows × 100. Yarn use follows progress, so skeins used ÷ progress predicts the skeins needed.
- Progress
P = R ÷ T × 100R is Blanket Rows and T is Target Rows.
- Skeins needed
Skeins = skeins used ÷ (P ÷ 100)Check this at 25% and 50%.
- Rows left
Left = T − RLeft is the rows still to work.
Worked example: A blanket at 90 of 240 rows is 37.5% done. With 4 skeins used, the full blanket needs about 4 ÷ 0.375 = 10.7, so buy 11 skeins.
Blanket Progress Counter Conversion Table
The Blanket Progress Counter conversion table lists standard blanket sizes and target rows at worsted gauge.
| Blanket | Size | Target rows | Yarn (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lovey | 12 × 12 in (30 × 30 cm) | 72 | 150 yd (137 m) |
| Baby | 30 × 36 in (76 × 91 cm) | 216 | 900 yd (823 m) |
| Lap | 36 × 48 in (91 × 122 cm) | 288 | 1,400 yd (1,280 m) |
| Throw | 50 × 60 in (127 × 152 cm) | 360 | 2,400 yd (2,195 m) |
| Twin | 66 × 90 in (168 × 229 cm) | 540 | 4,500 yd (4,115 m) |
| Queen | 90 × 100 in (229 × 254 cm) | 600 | 6,800 yd (6,218 m) |
Yarn amounts are for stockinette. Textured stitches and crochet use 20 to 50% more.
