This category covers bigger projects, but many of them are easily customizable. Hundreds of crochet patterns cover all blanket sizes, including square blanket patterns, circular blankets, and star blanket patterns. You’ll find here intricate multi-step CAL patterns, but also easier pieces with simple stitch repeats. With these free patterns, you’ll be able to make stunning crochet bedspreads, or snuggly blankets for cold evenings.
Making a crochet blanket can seem time-consuming and hard, but there are so many different projects to choose from! Some are very quick to make, especially if you use bulky weight yarn or simple stitches such as double crochet. Some patterns require lots of attention, but it’s a challenge, right? If you don’t like working alone, try crochet alongs, known as CALs. It’s when the designer publishes a pattern in parts so that everybody can work on them at the same time.
Remember that the choice of yarn can greatly influence the final outcome of your blanket. For a warm blanket perfect for chilly nights, opt for a chunky or bulky yarn. These types of yarn not only provide extra warmth but also help your project work up faster. On the other hand, if you’re aiming for a lightweight throw, consider using a finer yarn. The texture and drape of the finished piece will vary significantly with different yarn weights, so it’s worth experimenting to find your favorite.
If you’re new to crochet, start with simpler patterns that use basic stitches such as single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. These stitches form the foundation of many crochet projects. On our website, you will find numerous tutorials and videos that can guide you through the basics and beyond.
So, whether you’re crafting a quick gift or creating an heirloom piece, our selection of free crochet blanket patterns offers endless opportunities for creativity and personalization. Happy crocheting!
