At Shaoxing Yihan Textile Co., Ltd., we talk to fabric buyers and DIY makers every week. One of the most common questions we hear is: How many yards of fleece do I need for a blanket? The short answer for an adult throw is usually two yards per layer, but the full picture depends on the finished size, fabric width, and whether you want to add fringe. In this guide, we’ll break down the numbers so you can plan your project with confidence — no guesswork required.
Ključni čimbenici koji utječu na dužinu flisa
Before you head to the fabric store or place an order, keep these four variables in mind:
- Blanket size. A baby blanket obviously takes far less fabric than a king-size bedspread. Most DIY fleece blanket patterns are designed for throws, but we’ll cover all common sizes below.
- Širina tkanine. Standard fleece usually comes in widths of 54 to 60 inches. A wider fabric gives you more coverage in one piece, which can reduce the total yardage compared to narrower fabrics that need piecing.
- Number of layers. No-sew tie blankets are usually made with two layers of fleece (one for the front and one for the back), so you need two pieces of the same size.
- Dodatak za vezice ili šavove. If your project has a sewn border, you need a small seam allowance. If it’s a classic no-sew tie blanket, the fringe consumes 2–4 inches around the edge, so you may want to add an extra 0.25 to 0.5 yard per side.
Dužina flisa prema veličini pokrivača
Ove brojke temelje se na flisu korisne širine od otprilike 54–60 inča. Always measure your planned blanket first, and add a little extra if you want a generous overhang or a wide fringe.
| Vrsta pokrivača | Gotova veličina (inči) | Jardi po sloju | Ukupno za dva sloja |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beba / krilo | 30 x 40 | 1 | 2 |
| Dijete / malo bacanje | 40 x 50 | 1.5 | 3 |
| Adult throw | 50 x 60 | 1,75 – 2 | 3.5 – 4 |
| Blizanci | 60 x 80 | 2.25 – 2.5 | 4.5 – 5 |
| puna | 70 x 90 | 2,75 – 3 | 5,5 – 6 |
| Kraljica | 90 x 95 | 3.25 – 3.5 | 6.5 – 7 |
| King | 104 x 92 | 3,75 – 4 (komad po potrebi) | 7,5 – 8 |
For a typical adult throw with standard 54-inch fleece, most crafters buy 2 yards per layer , which means 4 yards total ako koristite dvije različite boje. Ako želite da deka bude izdašnija, zaokružite na 2,5 jarda po sloju.
Kako izračunati vlastitu dužinu flisa
If you’re working with a custom size, the math is simple:
- Decide the finished length of your blanket in inches.
- Dodajte 4 do 6 inča za šavove ili rubove.
- Divide the total by 36 to get the number of yards per layer.
- Zaokružite na najbližu četvrtinu jarda.
- Multiply by 2 if you’re making a two-layer blanket.
For example, let’s say you want a 60-inch-long throw with a small 4-inch allowance. That’s 64 inches. 64 ÷ 36 = 1,78, pa biste kupili 1,75 ili 2 jarda po sloju. For two layers, buy double that amount, or 3.5–4 yards total.
If you’re using different fabrics for the front and back, you’ll need that calculated amount in each fabric. Za jednoslojnu deku jednostavno preskočite posljednji korak množenja.
Rezanje i spremanje tkanine: profesionalni savjeti iz mlina
Over the years, we’ve watched customers cut thousands of meters of knitted fabric, and a few simple habits make a real difference.
- Prethodno operite i osušite svoj flis prije rezanja. Čak i ako je označeno da se ne skuplja, pretpranje sprječava kasnija iznenađenja.
- Upotrijebite oštar rotirajući rezač i podlogu koja se sama zacjeljuje. A dull blade drags the fabric and creates uneven edges.
- Square the ends first. Flis se može lagano rastegnuti, posebno kada se namota na vijak. Trim off the selvedge edge and make a clean straight cut before measuring.
- Dodajte više samo ako vaš dizajn zahtijeva duboke rese ili presavijeni rub. For a simple sewn edge, a 1-inch allowance is plenty.
- Pažljivo razmotrite širinu tkanine. Za deku za kraljicu ili kralja odaberite najširi flis koji možete pronaći (obično 58-60 inča) kako biste izbjegli nezgrapne šavove. If you must piece fabric, add about half a yard of total extra yardage.

Odabir prave tkanine za toplu, udobnu deku
Tradicionalni flis je brušeno poliestersko pletivo s kojim je lako raditi, ali nije jedina opcija. As a manufacturer of knitted fabrics, we often suggest air layer fabrics for blankets that need a thicker, more structured feel. Zračni sloj ima suptilnu spužvastu teksturu koja zadržava toplinu, a da pritom deka nije preteška.

Često postavljana pitanja o dužini pokrivača od flisa
How many yards of fleece do I need for a baby blanket?
For a typical 30 by 40 inch baby blanket, one yard of 54-inch-wide fleece per layer is enough. For a two-layer no-sew blanket, you’ll need two yards total (or one yard in each fabric).
Koliko tkanine trebam za veliku deku od flisa?
For a king-size blanket (roughly 104 by 92 inches), you’ll usually need 4 yards per layer when using standard 54-inch-wide fleece, because the width must be pieced. If you can find extra-wide fleece (around 108 inches), you can skip the seam and use about 3 yards per layer instead.
How much extra fabric should I buy for a tie blanket?
Sama resa troši 2 do 4 inča sa svake strane. Za jednostavnu dvoslojnu deku za vezivanje dodajte oko 0,25 do 0,5 jarda po sloju u usporedbi s osnovnim izračunom. Rounding up to the nearest half yard is a safe approach.
Dakle, koliko jardi flisa za deku? For a standard adult throw, start with 2 yards per side (4 yards total); za dječju dekicu dovoljan je 1 jar po strani. Uvijek provjerite korisnu širinu, uzmite u obzir rubove ili šavove i zaokružite kako biste bili sigurni. Nadamo se da će vam ovaj vodič pomoći da se osjećate sigurnije prije sljedeće kupnje tkanine.
