I’m so excited to share my latest crochet blanket pattern with you! I know a lot of you are newer to crochet, and you’ve told me you love patterns that are simple, relaxing, and great for building confidence. So I designed this throw with that in mind. It uses the crochet moss stitch—also called the linen or woven stitch—which is one of my go-to beginner stitches. It’s made with just single crochets and chains, but the finished fabric looks modern, textured, and way more impressive than the effort it takes (my favorite kind of project!).
In this post, I’ll share the full written pattern, go over the yarn and tools you’ll need, and include a step-by-step video tutorial to walk you through the stitch if you’re more of a visual learner. So if you’re looking for an easy, cozy crochet project to work on, you’re in the right place!
Pin It For Later!
I hope you enjoy this pattern! If so, please feel free to share the link to this page on your social media or Pinterest account.
I truly appreciate all of you who get the word out about this site and my patterns!

How to Crochet the Moss Stitch:
The moss stitch is a simple and relaxing stitch. It creates a beautiful, woven texture using just single crochets and chains. It’s perfect for beginners, but still fun for more experienced crocheters who want a relaxing, no stress stitch to work with. The best part is that it lays flat and looks great on both sides, making it ideal for blankets and other home décor like pillows and dish towels.
Crochet Moss Stitch Video Tutorial:
If you’re new to crocheting the moss stitch or want to see it in action, I’ve included a step-by-step video tutorial below. I’ve also shared it to the Leelee Knits YouTube Channel, where I post all of my stitch tutorials (subscribe to get notified every time I post a new tutorial!). I promise that once you watch this video, you will be super excited to get started!
Yarn Choice:
This blanket requires worsted weigh yarn of your choice. The yarn that I chose to work with is my favourite low cost acrylic worsted weight yarn, Brava Worsted by We Crochet / Knit Picks. I went with a classic combo of white and a dark grey (Cobblestone Heather), but feel free to be creative and make it your own! Some suggestions:
- Cream with a soft blush pink for a warmer, more romantic vibe.
- Navy and mustard for a bold modern twist.
- Two neutral shades of beige or taupe for a calming, minimalist look.
- Oatmeal and forest green for a cozy, nature-inspired feel.
- Charcoal and deep burgundy for a rich, moody palette.
- Sky blue and pale yellow for a fresh, cheerful look.
Just pick a combo that feels like home to you!
