Make An Easy Chunky Crochet Blanket

Keep Me Cozy Chunky Crochet Blanket

Don’t you just love a good chunky crochet blanket!?

One of the great things about a crochet blanket that uses a chunky yarn is that it works up faster. Faster than a typical blanket that might use a worsted weight yarn and a smaller hook size.

One other thing that can make for a faster project when crocheting a blanket is the type of stitches that are used as well.

If a taller crochet stitch is used then the length of the blanket starts to build faster. What is great about this chunky crochet blanket is that it uses a bulky weight yarn and double crochet stitches.

Any crocheted blanket is truly a labor of love. A crocheted blanket can really be personalized for whomever it is made for.

Personalize it with someone’s favorite colors. A handmade crocheted blanket can also become a family heirloom that gets passed down several generations.

Now, some details about this chunky crochet blanket pattern.

PATTERN DETAILS:

This is an easy crochet chunky blanket. The more difficult part may be the border. But you can always add your own favorite border to this blanket.

This specific pattern was definitely a labor of love and even a labor of patience for me to make. I had an issue with the yarn for this blanket having different dye lots.

The yarn was already in my stash that I wanted to use for this blanket but I also knew that I didn’t have enough of it.

I of course did an online pickup order to save 20% but even the skeins that were chosen didn’t even have the same dye lots.

So I began making the blanket but when I joined a new skein with a different dye lot it was way too noticeable. So I decided to give this project a break as I refused to buy more yarn that would all be the same dye lot.

↓ Pin this pattern for later! ↓

After a couple months in time out, I came across a statement that saved my project! The statement mentioned alternating rows between dye lots when the dye lots are different. And that’s exactly what I did for the final outcome of this blanket.

Now, the blanket almost has a striped look to it because of the different dye lots. But, I think that in the end the different dye lots made the blanket more unique. I hope you like this one and put your own personal touch on it when you make it!

So, lets get starting making this easy chunky crochet blanket!
