Re: Graph for a king size bed

The size of your finished item is dependent on factors like yarn, hook and tension...e.g., your gauge, in addition to the number of stitches.  So no specific number can be given to produce an exact graph for a king size bed, as it depends on a number of factors.  Using worsted weight yarn will call for more stitches than a bulky or chunky yarn, but worsted will have more color choices.

Whenever you're trying to plan for a specific result, you should definitely do a swatch and then work out the math to figure out how large your finished blanket will be, so you can be sure to produce the correct size.
