How many chains do I need for a blanket?
Multiply the width in inches by your stitches per inch to get the stitch count. Add the turning chain for your stitch: 1 for single crochet, 2 for half double crochet and 3 for double crochet when the turning chain does not count as a stitch.
Crocheted fabric often draws in slightly after the first rows, so measure after 4 inches of work and adjust before committing.

Should a bed blanket overhang the mattress?
Bedspread sizes include drop. The twin to king sizes here cover the top with a modest overhang; add length for a full drop.
Does a border change the size?
Yes. Subtract twice the border width from the target before calculating the body.
