About how long would it take to crochet a blanket?

about the size of a throw.

I help put together blankets for homeless shelters with a local club. We crochet 7″ by 9″ blocks. I use a J Hook and worsted weight yarn. Each block takes about 30 minutes, and we make 49 squares (roughly 25 hours) per blanket. This makes the blanket 49″ x 63″ before the border. Sewing them together takes about 4 hours, and a simple border takes 2. So if you’re crocheting 2 hours a day, you could have a blanket in 2-3 weeks, depending on how fast you are. Good luck!
