MADE WITH HOMBYS
Coffee-Border Cream Blanket by @blissful_blankets_by_brandy
A warm cream center and a deep coffee-colored border make this chunky blanket a simple, striking handmade piece. Creator @blissful_blankets_by_brandy shared the finished project after testing HOMBYS coffee-brown yarn.
The broad brown edging frames a pale central field, while a raised vertical motif adds texture through the middle. The contrast lets the thick chenille stitches remain the focus without adding extra colors.

Coordinating Yarn Options
Dark Coffee is our suggested match for the border; the source says coffee brown without identifying Dark Coffee or Light Coffee. Cream is a suggested center shade, whose brand and shade are not confirmed in the caption. No matching Cream & Dark Coffee mixed pack was found, so the two options are linked separately.
Planning Your Yarn Amount
The maker reports leftover coffee-brown yarn, but does not state her starting quantity, the blanket’s measurements, gauge, or the amount used for the border. This does not establish how many blankets a pack will make. Plan the cream field and brown border separately using the actual pattern and a gauge swatch; linked packs are shopping options, not a confirmed kit.

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 |
|---|---|
| Dark Coffee | 2–3 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1 pack(s). Full packs may leave yarn over. |
| Cream | 7–10 whole skeins At 8 skeins / pack: 1–2 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: Dark Coffee 20%, Cream 80%. 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.
