Crochet Throw Blanket Pattern

Crochet Your Own Cozy Throw Blanket

Hey everyone! The crochet throw blanket pattern I’m sharing today is perfect for anyone who loves to snuggle up with a cozy blanket for some well-deserved relaxation. The simple stitch pattern and the luxurious feel of the yarn make this throw super inviting and give it that perfect cottage-cozy vibe.

Just imagine yourself wrapped in this gorgeous throw, sipping tea, and diving into a great book. Plus, this pattern is totally beginner-friendly, so whether you’re new to crocheting or have been at it for years, this throw is a piece of cake to make.

Beginner Friendly Pattern

My goal as always was to design a throw blanket crochet pattern that is both fun and easy. I decided to work with the extended double crochet stitch, which adds a beautiful texture and drape to any crochet blanket.

Please don’t worry if you’ve never tried this stitch before – it’s easy to learn and super fun to work with. Once you get through the setup rows, the pattern is a breeze with just one row to remember for the rest of the blanket, making it perfect for working on while binge-watching your favourite shows. The repetitive nature of the stitch also makes it a meditative experience, letting you relax and unwind as you crochet. I’ve also put together a quick video tutorial on the stitch, which you can watch on this page below or on my Youtube Channel at the following link: Crochet Throw Blanket Stitch Video Tutorial.

So, watch the video, try out the extended double crochet stitch and then imagine the sense of accomplishment you’ll feel when you finish this beautiful throw and drape it over your favourite chair.

Yarn Selection for your Cozy Crochet Throw Blanket:

Choosing the right yarn to crochet your throw blanket with is super important. For this pattern, you’ll want to choose am aran weight yarn. If you’re not familiar, aran weight yarn is a medium-thickness yarn that’s just slightly thicker than worsted weight yarn. It’s great for right for creating warm, snuggly throws without being too heavy or too light.

I used Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran for my throw, and I absolutely love it. I often work with this brand of yarn because it is really affordable, which is always a plus, and the best part is that it comes in a ton of different colours to choose from. Whether you want something neutral and calming or bold and bright, there’s definitely a shade that’ll suit your style.

  9. Loved the look of your blanket using EDC stitch so much I got busy immediately making samples with a variety of yarn weights and hooks. I’m an experienced crocheter of over 50 years, but I think I must be doing something wrong because my samples were a hot mess. The pattern is easy enough, but my stitches were not lining up nice and even like your blanket in the photo. After ripping one sample out several times and studying your photo, I decided to line up the SC & the EDC with the same stitch on the row below. Viola !!! My samples now look exactly like your blanket ! Every row after Row 3 was a mess until I lined up the stitches.

    Would appreciate it if you could give some guidance on what I might be missing.

    As I do most of my crochet work for charity, this pattern will be a go-to because it is so tactile, has so many color combination possibilities and is not a yarn hog like other bobble patterns I have used in the past.

    1. I’m not sure I really understand the question, but if you are working a SC in each EDC and and EDC in each SC, then it will look just like the blanket in the photo.

  11. Hi, I am wondering how I can make this wider than 36 inches. What is the starting stitch count? ie. “Stitch Multiple for gauge swatch = An odd number of sts, plus 3 for the foundation chain.” What is this patterns?!! Thanks

  12. This is a great pattern and seems like an easy stitch to pick up . I am going to be starting a blanket for a wonderful couple in my church and this looks like it might be a great fit. How big is yours? As in inches. So I will know how many to do , the male of the couple is 6’4

    1. Hi Cecilia! This blanket should measure 37” wide X 62” long. I would suggest adding a few inches width and length for a larger person 🙂

  18. I’m loving this stitch! Thank you for making this free. I’m making a baby blanket for my friend’s first grandbaby, due in the spring (2020). I’m doing mine in a solid (no stripes) color– off-white. The texture is fabulous! When I’m done, I’ll post pics on my Ravelry projects page. Your directions are very clear, by the way, which I also really appreciate.

  19. Hello, I am planning to start this as my next project. Can you recommend a comparable wool or merino wool yarn? I’m planning to change up the color to a winter white and garnet. Thank you!

  22. Thankyou so much for the pattern. I am not very good at crocheting but I decided, because I like the look of your throw, that I would make a small swatch to see if I could do it. I am so happy! Your patterns are very easy to follow, so if a dummy like me is able to do this, anyone would be able to do it. Like I said, “I am so happy!!!!” Thank you so much Alnaar xx

  23. This pattern has a really pretty looking texture. I’ve not used an extended double crochet much, so i’m anxious to try it out. Thanks for designing it.

  24. Just started this for a friend’s daughter who’s had to cancel her wedding plans and elope instead. (Three of my friends’ kids have had to make this tough decision this year.) I gave my friend many patterns to choose from and this is the one she chose for her daughter and future SIL. It’s working up quickly, and bonus: it’s reversible! Very pretty blanket. Thank you for the pattern!

  25. Just saw this in the newsletter. It is nice that you discovered the “Extended Double Crochet” Stitch on your own, and thus “invented” it, you should know it has been around since at least 1918. I have an old pattern book which has 1 patt. which uses this.
    An extremely small number of people have been exposed to it! I hope you are able to create more patterns using it, and by so doing, make it more available, especially to Designers. European and Japanese patterns use the “Treble”, and “Double Treble” MUCH more often than here in America. There are some amazingly gorgeous Edging Patterns out there. [53 years experience.]

    1. Hi there,

      The extended double crochet and treble (or double treble) crochet stitches are different in terms of both their construction and their resulting height and texture in crochet projects.

      Extended Double Crochet (EDC): This stitch begins like a regular double crochet: yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over again, and pull up a loop (three loops on hook). The difference comes in the next step. Instead of yarning over and pulling through two loops twice, you first yarn over and pull through only the first loop on the hook. This creates an “extended” base chain.
      Finally, you complete the stitch as you would a normal double crochet: yarn over again and pull through two loops, twice.
      The result is a slightly taller and looser stitch than a standard double crochet, with more flexibility and a softer drape.
      Treble Crochet (TC): For a treble crochet, you start by yarning over twice before inserting the hook into the stitch, yarn over again and pull up a loop (four loops on hook). You then yarn over and pull through two loops, repeating this action two more times (three times total).
      The treble crochet is taller than both the double crochet and the extended double crochet, making it suitable for projects where greater height per stitch is desired.
      Extended double crochet offers a nice balance of height and flexibility, making it useful for a variety of projects, especially where a softer, more draping fabric is desired. Treble and double treble crochet stitches are more about adding significant height and less about flexibility.
      Hope this helps!
