Stitches

How wide will a blanket be with a 6mm needle and 75 stitches?

I am knitting a baby blanket with 75 stitches on a 6mm needle. Does anyone know about how wide the blanket will be?

1. Shouldn't you decide how big you want the blanket to be and go from there?
2. It depends on your tension and yarn size. If you have already started the blanket, take a tape measure and measure out 1" in the middle and count how many stitches and how many rows are in that 1". Then divide the number of stitches you got into the 75 stitches you are working and that number will be how many inches you have. To determine how many rows, use the number of rows in 1" and multiply by the number of inches you want the finished blanket to be. If you haven't started the blanket yet, knit a 1" square swatch and measure and follow the procedure above.
