How Much Yarn for a Shell Stitch Baby Blanket?

For this chunky shell stitch baby blanket, I used 62 for the chain. For a worsted weight yarn you would probably want to double that.

I used 2 skeins of 10.5 oz of Bernat Blanket Yarn for this crochet pattern.

For a worsted weight blanket, I would use at least double if not more.
