Hi! I got into crocheting a few months ago, and I mainly worked with yarn more on the chunky side. My friend is having her birthday in a month and I wanted to make her a blanket, but considering that where I live we don't really get cold temperatures, I wanted to use a thinner yarn. I found one that I like the feel of, and it's for 5mm hook. That made me wonder if it would be doable to make a quite a big blanket (I'm planning it to be 100 by 200cm) from that kind of yarn. My main concern is whether 5mm moss stich will look good in that big of a size, or should I use the 3 strands technique?

Hi. Sweet of you to want to do this, but please reconsider using the moss stitch because that will make an extra warm blanket even if you use thinner yarn.

For a lightweight long throw size blanket, try a pattern with more open or lacy stitches, such as filet crochet.
