Choosing Yarn and Hook: One of the first decisions you’ll make when embarking on a crochet throw blanket project is selecting the yarn and hook size. For a blanket that’s both soft and durable, consider using a medium-weight yarn such as worsted weight or aran. This weight of yarn allows for a balance between warmth and breathability. As for the hook size, choose one that complements your yarn weight – typically a hook size recommended on the yarn label is a good starting point.
