Soft, squishy and chunky – that’s what the Family Room Throw by Jennifer Dickerson is. If you need a crochet blanket to snuggle up in on cool winter evenings, this project will do the job. It will do as a beautiful sofa throw in your living room or a lovely housewarming gift. Don’t hesitate to give it a try!
Is this Pattern Good for First-Time Crocheters?
The Family Room Throw crochet pattern is a great project for beginners and those with basic experience. Moreover, it works up really fast with super bulky yarn and a 10 mm crochet hook.
A combination of double crochets and chain stitches produces a nice lacy texture that looks spectacular when worked with this type of yarn.
How Many Skeins Do I Need for This Blanket?
The sample seen in the photos was made with 9 balls of Bernat Blanket, a super bulky chenille yarn. The blanket features a wonderful striped design in soothing colors: Light Teal, Antique White, and Taupe. You can either follow the shades suggested by the pattern or go for your favorite color palette.
How To Crochet the Family Room Crochet Throw
This easy crochet chunky blanket pattern is one of the simplest projects worked with a one-row repeat.
First, you will crochet a foundation chain and then proceed with the first row in which you will skip stitches and make double crochets. The second row involves alternating chains and double crochets and can be worked until your blanket reaches the desired size.
To make this project even more beginner-friendly, the designer created an easy-to-follow video tutorial. Check it out below!
What Is the Finished Size of the Family Room Throw?
By following the pattern’s instructions and using the recommended set of supplies, you will make a blanket 65 inches wide and 70 inches long. It’s the perfect size for a cozy throw you can comfortably wrap yourself in or drape over your sofa or bed.
If you want your blanket to be even bigger, the pattern is very easy to adjust. You can add stitches to the foundation chain to increase its width or continue working rows to make it longer.
