He has broken down the steps and figured out the math it takes to start the rectangular afghans. You’ll get the Patterns for All Sizes of Afghans: Crib, Twin, Full / Double, Queen, King and Day Bed.

I have a queen size bed that I want to make a throw for that will only cover the top of the mattress. According to your patterns a queen size mattress is 60″ X 80″ but all it says for a queen is to make a regular square. How many chains would I need to make a 60″ X 80″ rectangle? Please email me this information as I really want to make this for my bed.

Great pattern. Can you give me an idea of the length of the starting chain for a baby crib size ? I thought maybe 38 chains ?
Oops…. I just read it for a crib it is 13 chains to start. Thank you !
