MADE WITH HOMBYS
Beach Waves Birthday Blanket by @thecozypurpleturtle
Blue stripes and a sandy-colored end turn this birthday blanket by @thecozypurpleturtle into a little reminder of the beach. The repeated ridges give the chenille surface a gentle, wave-like rhythm.
Light and deeper blues alternate through the main blanket, while the neutral section brings a warm contrast at one end. The color placement keeps the beach reference simple and lets the chunky stitches remain the focus.
The Maker’s Story
The maker shared the blanket as a birthday gift for someone who loves the beach. In her caption, she described the blue sections as soft waves, mentioned adding sand, and thanked HOMBYS for the collaboration.

GET THE COLOR STORY
Coordinating Yarn Options
The Sky Blue & Country Blue mixed pack is a suggested starting point for the alternating blue rows, with Khaki as a possible sandy accent. These are visual matches rather than confirmed original shade names. The blue pack provides two solid colors; its color balance is a store configuration, not the maker’s reported consumption.
Planning Your Yarn Amount
The source does not state the blanket’s measurements, gauge, row count or skeins used. Plan the main striped area and sandy end separately from a swatch. The linked 8-skein pack is a shopping option, not an exact material requirement for this finished blanket.

YARN PLANNING · REFERENCE ESTIMATE
How much yarn should I prepare?
Reference size: 50 × 60 in (127 × 152 cm). Scope: one finished item.
Whole-skein color budget: approximately 9–13 skeins in total, including one spare in the largest yarn group. Whole-skein rounding by color can exceed the estimated amount actually knitted.
Estimated fabric consumption before the spare: about 6.9–10.3 skein-equivalents across all colors. Small accents may use only part of a skein.
| Yarn / color group | Whole-skein planning budget |
|---|---|
| 4 Sky Blue+4 Country Blue | 7–10 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1–2 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
| khaki | 2–3 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
Planning assumptions: single-layer blanket. Area model uses 350 square inches per 27 yd skein as a working assumption, scaled to the listed skein length; ±20% allowance, plus one spare after rounding each color. Decorative / texture factor: 1. This is not a tested yield or the maker’s confirmed usage.
Color split: 4 Sky Blue+4 Country Blue 80%, khaki 20%. These are illustrative planning shares, not measured original proportions. Mixed / gradient product rows are combined yarn groups; their full pack size is not a claim of project consumption. Check pack contents and top up individual colors as needed.
Before buying: swatch in the intended stitch, measure the finished swatch and yarn used, then scale to your chosen size. The reference size above is an assumption unless marked maker-reported. These figures do not establish the original finished size or actual yarn used.
