To crochet a Queen-sized blanket, it all depends on what type of yarn you use, the pattern you are using, the hook size, and your gauge.
The top area of a Queen-sized bed is 60in x 80in--then there would be overhang to hang over the edge of the bed. So a fairly standard size of a quilt would be 102in x 112in.
Looking around, I found some amounts of yarn--but these are really, really just estimates! Check your pattern for specific yarn, hook, gauge requirements.
I would guesstimate that you would need at least 6000yards, of yarn; or 32 balls of 3.5oz skeins; or 8lbs--14 skeins, of yarn.
This question is impossible to accurately answer. Depending on the stitches you choose to use will determine the quantity needed. A loose, open or tall stitch will use less yarn. A tighter, smaller stitch will use more yarn. I would use 56oz. or 2,928 yards as a rough beginning estimate if using tall and open stitches and work up from there.
Good luck!
Yarns vary enormously in how far they go, and close stitching uses more yarn than open, lacy work.
Try making a six inch square, weighing it on good kitchen scales and estimating from there.
First you have to determine what weight yarn you will be using and which hook. Then you need to determine how many squares you need. Here is a suggested number of squares from my own website Crochet Cabana, based on size of squares.
Queen: 60" x 80"
Using 6" squares: 10 x 13 (good- 60" x 78" plus edging) [130 squares], 10 x 14 (best, 60" x 84" plus edging) [140 squares]
Using 9" squares: 7 x 9 (best, 63" x 81" plus edging) [63 squares]
Using 12" squares: 5 x 7 (60" x 84" plus edging) [35 squares]
Now that doesn't answer your question. You want to know how much yarn you need, so what you might do is make ONE square with a similar weight yarn and see how much yarn that takes. Make the square then rip it out and measure yardage. Then multiply that amount by the number of squares you need. That will tell you approximately how much yarn to get.
If you are making an afghan with squares of different colors or with each square having multiple colors you will have to account for that in your planning.
If you want to make an afghan in just one big granny square, the swatch should give you a pretty good idea if you are using one color for your afghan.
There are lots of free patterns on the internet. If you look up a few you'll get some idea of the amount involved.

As a rule of thumb, it takes "plenty" of yarn to make a Queen-sized blanket.

How many skeins of Red Heart Comfort yarn would it take to make a 100 inch by 100 inch blanket using double crochet when each skein has 683 yards in length and weighs 12 ounces?
Your answer depends on the size of the crochet needle you want to use. First, crochet a gauge, so that you have the basic information you need to calculate your raw material requirements.
What can you make out of a long piece of finger crochet longer than a bus?

How do you make a simple blanket?
Take two pieces of fleece, whatever size you wish to make the blanket but make sure they are both the same size. Cut slits on the edges of the blanket about an inch long and keep doing that but give about half of an inch to an inch of space between each cut. do that around the whole blanket then tie all the slits together. Its very easy once you get started!
How do you make a shell on crochet?
To crochet a shell stitch you will be making a series of double or treble stitches, which will be joined at the top, but not the bottom. A common number of stitches used to make the shell would be five, however if only two stitches are joined, that would be referred to as a decrease, and doesn't really qualify as a shell stitch.I have attached some links to video tutorials to show you how to make shell stitches.
How many yarn needed to crochet a twin blanket crochet ball bring 300 yds?
How much yarn you need to make any afghan depends on the hook you are using, the weight of the yarn and the pattern you are making. If you are using bulky yarn it will take a different amount than sport or worsted yarn, to make the same pattern. The amount of yarn used also varies depending on the stitch being used. For example, an afghan made entirely in single crochet will use more yarn than one made using double or triple crochet. There are so many different yarn types with each being a different number of yards and ounces that it is difficult to determine which yarn you are thinking of using. Just to give a very rough estimate, say you are using Red Heart Super Saver worsted yarn which is 364 yards in 7 ounces, you could estimate a need of perhaps 7 skeins to make a twin size afghan (about 2500 yards). That is a VERY rough estimate. But again, there are so many variables. Note that a lighter weight yarn will take more to get to the same finished size as a worsted weight blanket. If you are able to make a swatch of the yarn you are considering, you can figure how much you need from the swatch by matching how much yarn the swatch takes and the size of the swatch. Just multiply it out to the size you want. That will give you an idea of how much yarn you need.
Can you crochet with thread?
Certainly! There's a special product called crochet thread that is used to make doilies and fine table cloths, as well as lace edgings. Crochet thread comes in various sizes and colors. It is mercerized and spun tightly to make it easier to crochet.
How many yards of yarn does it take to crochet a twin size afghan using an H hook and single crochet stitches?
You would need to know what yarn you are using - sport, worsted, bulky - and what pattern. Different stitches will use different amounts of yarn. Single crochet is more dense than double crochet and would use more yarn to make the same size finished product. Afghan stitch is also dense with same result. With worsted yarn I would estimate 2500-3000 yards. That is a really rough estimate, however, without more information. Your chosen pattern should specify the yarn to be used and how much. If you want to substitute yarn, you can compare other yarns with the same weight, number of ounces and yards.
What do you call the old way of doing crochet for lace?
A type of crochet which makes a lace, is called tatting. There are various ways to make tatting.You can make tatting with a shuttle, or a needle, or needle and crochet hook (cro-tat).Tatting is a process which is different than crochet or knitting. The stitches are made differently than those in crochet and knitting.
Which method is easier to make a baby's blanket knitting or crochetting?
Neither is easier or harder. Some folks have an easier time learning to knit and some to crochet. It also depends on the pattern you tackle. Some patterns are very easy, using simple stitches. Other patterns are more difficult. Some designs might be easier in crochet, some in knitting. It is, for example, easier to do cables in knitting than in crochet though it is possible to do them in both crafts.

A person could crochet or knit scarves. Personally, I crochet scarves. Each scarf takes me about five hours to complete depending on the length and how complicated the pattern is.
