Crochet a Chunky Blanket in 4.5 hours – Free pattern

Hello hello!

You guys loved my previous quick and easy chunky blanket, so here’s another one!

I love making chunky blankets, they’re quick and I can finish them in a very reasonable timeframe.

Being a mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me, but man is it time-consuming.

After posting the movie night throw, I knew I needed to make more blankets. I made this one right before Christmas, and it only took 4.5 hours to make.

And yes, believe me when I say it will only take you less than 5 hours!

Watching your project grow more and more by the hour is very satisfying.

If you are a beginner, this is the perfect project for you. It is made using chunky yarn which makes it easier to see the stitches that you are working on.

Also, it is a project that works fast, therefore is very motivating for a beginner to continue and don’t give up.

Because it is made using super bulky yarn, you can use anyone, not just Bernat Blanket (which is the one that I used). Although, Bernat Blanket will be the one giving you the best/softest results.

Any Chenille-type of yarn will work best.

If you would like the ad-free printable pattern PDF with all sizes included, you can get it from Etsy or My Shop. The PDF also includes the crochet diagram.
