Hello hello!
We are here again with another beautiful and easy pattern.
You guys know, I have been obsessed lately with making blankets, especially chunky blankets.
They are so quick to make, that you just want to keep making more and more.
Makes finishing a blanket very satisfying, because you can do it so fast that you will feel accomplished very quickly, and we all want that!
After posting the movie night throw, I knew I needed to make more blankets. So then I created Andrea’s blanket, which was another easy pattern, but I have to say, this one might be my favourite so far.

I made this blanket in about 7-ish hours. A little longer than the previous two, but it’s because I wanted to make it big enough to lay it at the bottom of our king-size bed. So yes, it’s pretty big. Will fit two people comfortably.
Also, yes, believe me when I say that it only takes 7 hours to make, but hey! I didn’t say 7 hours straight. This one took me about a week to finish because I was crocheting for maybe an hour a day. You don’t have to spend the whole 7 hours crocheting, who has time for that? Not me!.
For this blanket, as well as the other 2 previous ones, I used Bernat Blanket.
It is a super chunky, number 6 yarn, which makes it faster to crochet. Although you can use any category 6, I highly recommend using a Chenille-type of yarn. It will give you the best/softest results.
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.
