It looks like you want 24x24.

If you can get your parachute well-wrapped it could work. I would use two, one attached near the chute and the other near the nose.

I have a 7.5" rocket and ended using a 30" blanket although a 24" would have worked as well. I don't think the 18" would be quite big enough. There tends to be a lot of 'slop' in a tube that big so you really need good coverage over your chute to keep it safe from damage.
As I like to say, what are the odds you'll regret using the smaller size vs. the larger one?
