Free Chunky Crochet Throw Pattern
Quick & Easy Crochet Throw Blanket
I love sharing my crochet blanket and throw patterns, but I’m aware they’re not for the impatient! So, I wrote this pattern for anyone who wants to make a blanket but feels held back by how long it can take to see progress. It uses a simple, quick stitch and is made with super bulky yarn, which means you could finish it in a week, or, if you’re a quick crocheter, even faster! Best of all, it’s beginner friendly.
This was the first blanket that I had crocheted with such a bulky yarn, so I wasn’t sure what to expect – but I absolutely loved the weight of it. As a neurodivergent person myself, I love how heavy blankets calm the nervous system – so it turned out to be a great experiment! If you prefer a lighter blanket you can definitely use a lower weight yarn – it would be gorgeous in a worsted or aran weight yarn too. Just make sure that you use the hook size recommended on the yarn label and make your foundation chain longer (chain a multiple of 3 plus 1) – the width of the blanket will be slightly less than the width of your foundation chain.

Finding Yarn for your Blanket
When I first wrote this pattern, I used a yarn that has since been discontinued (I should have known that was why it was on sale!!). The good news is that there are so many great super bulky yarn options out there now.
To help make yarn shopping a little easier, my husband Brett and I created a free Yarn Matchmaker on my website. I originally wanted it for myself because I was tired of spending way too much time comparing yarn labels, fibre content, colours, and prices when trying to find substitutes for patterns.
For this project, I used it to search for super bulky yarns and shared the results below. If you’d like, you can also try it yourself to narrow things down by yarn weight, fibre, colour, price, and more. It’s completely free to use, right on my website, and simply helps you browse yarns from shops I already know and use. No sign-up needed, just a helpful way to find yarn ideas without the endless scrolling.
