FAQ - Free Crochet Blanket Patterns

Learn more about blanket crochet patterns by reading our answers to frequently asked questions.

1. What is the difference between a blanket, a throw, and an afghan?

Though each is a crocheted cover, they differ in size and purpose. While blankets are larger and generally draped over beds, throws are smaller and often decorative. Afghans, on the other hand, are known for their intricate designs, which often include squares, blocks, chevrons, or lacework. Each one provides unique crafting opportunities depending on your needs.

The choice of yarn primarily depends on the project’s intended use. Acrylic yarns are known for their softness and the fact that items made out of them can easily be washed and dried. This makes them a popular choice for those looking to make functional handmade blankets. If you want a luxurious finish, wool and alpaca will offer just the right texture and warmth. Be sure to check your pattern for recommended yarn types.

The required yarn amount usually depends on the size and intricacy of the project. One small throw may use around 1,500-2,000 yards, while a full-sized blanket could require 3,000+ yards or more. Patterns typically specify yardage to help you plan ahead and not run out in the middle of your project.

Not sure how much yarn you will need for your blanket project? Use our yarn calculator to calculate your yardage in a few simple steps.

The time needed to finish a blanket project varies. It all depends on its size, intricacy, and your speed. You might be able to complete a simple blanket within a week, while complex designs can take weeks or even months. Dedication and regular crafting sessions can make even the most elaborate projects manageable.

Definitely! Most patterns are straightforward designs that use basic stitches for beginners. If you are new to crochet, start by choosing easy blanket patterns, preferably accompanied by video tutorials. Once you gain more skill and confidence feel free to advance towards more complex designs.

There is a wide array of crochet stitches that you can use to make your blanket. Granny squares, ripples, chevrons, waffle stitches, and shell stitches are some of the favorites. They give beautiful textures and are very easy to learn. All these stitches come together in many patterns, offering a variety for both beginners and experienced crocheters.

Softness depends on the yarn you choose and how you finish the product. Use soft yarns, such as premium acrylic, cotton blends, or baby yarns. Wash your blanket with a mild detergent and fabric softener or block it to bring out its softness and drape.

Yes! Adjustments are very easy. You can do so by adding or reducing rows or stitches or playing around with a different hook size. Many crochet blanket patterns provide directions for changing sizes so that everyone can have the ideal version for their specific needs.

The number of granny squares you will need to make a blanket depends on the dimensions of the blanket you want to make and the dimensions of each square. You can calculate this by using the Square Block Blanket Calculator. Just specify the size you want for your blanket and the size of each square, then it will tell you exactly how many granny squares you need.
