About the Snuggle Cloud Blanket
The Snuggle Cloud Blanket is a soft, plush crochet blanket designed to wrap little ones in cozy comfort. Made with super chunky chenille yarn, this blanket has a luxuriously fluffy texture that feels wonderfully soft—almost like snuggling under a cloud.
The simple stitch pattern creates a beautiful, thick fabric that’s perfect for keeping babies warm during naps, stroller walks, and cuddle time. Because the pattern uses super chunky yarn, it works up quickly, making it a satisfying project whether you’re crocheting a baby shower gift or adding a cozy handmade piece to a nursery.
Updated Pattern with Multiple Sizes
This super chunky crochet baby blanket pattern has recently been updated to include five different sizes, making it easy to create the perfect blanket for different stages and uses.
The pattern now includes:
- Car Seat
- Cradle
- Stroller
- Toddler / Lapghan
- Crib / Throw
These size options make the pattern incredibly versatile. You can crochet a small, portable blanket for car rides or stroller outings, or create a larger cozy throw that grows with your child.
Great for Older Kids and Adults Too
While the Snuggle Cloud Blanket is designed with babies and children in mind, the larger sizes are wonderfully versatile. The Toddler / Lapghan size makes a perfect cozy blanket for older kids to snuggle under while reading, watching a movie, or relaxing on the sofa. It’s also a great lap blanket for adults, adding a soft layer of warmth without feeling too heavy.
The Crib / Throw size is even more flexible and works beautifully as a full throw blanket for adults. It’s perfect for draping over a sofa, adding a cozy touch to a bedroom, or curling up under on chilly evenings. Thanks to the super chunky chenille yarn, these larger sizes feel incredibly plush and luxurious—making them just as enjoyable for grown-ups as they are for little ones.
Part of the Cloud Collection
The Snuggle Cloud Blanket is part of the cozy Cloud Collection of crochet patterns. This collection features plush chenille designs that are perfect for babies and children, all designed to coordinate beautifully together.

These patterns make it easy to create a complete set of soft, snuggly handmade items that are perfect for gifts, nursery essentials, and cozy everyday wear.
Yarn Used
For this design, I used James C. Brett Flutterby Huggable, a beautifully soft chenille yarn that gives the blanket its signature plush, cloud-like texture. This super chunky yarn is velvety soft and perfect for baby projects because it feels gentle against delicate skin.
It also works up quickly, allowing you to create a thick, cozy blanket in much less time than lighter weight yarns.
This yarn is made from 100% super soft polyester. I love the fact that it’s really easy to work with and has great stitch definition – if you’re a beginner you’ll especially appreciate this.
Yarn Substitutes
If you can’t find James C. Brett Flutterby Huggable, you can easily substitute other super chunky (weight 6 / 14 ply) chenille yarns with a similar plush texture.
Good alternatives include:
When substituting yarn, be sure to check your gauge and adjust your hook size if necessary to ensure the finished blanket turns out the correct size.

Pattern Notes
- Quick tip: read these notes first… it’ll make everything easier!
- US standard crochet terms are used throughout.
- Numbers given are for smallest size, with numbers for larger sizes in ( ) brackets . E.g. carseat (cradle: stroller: toddler: crib).

- From row 2 onwards, you’ll work your half double crochets in the spaces in between each stitch (as opposed to crocheting through the top of each stitch).
- The ch1 turning chain does not count as the first stitch of the next row. Therefore, you should make the first half double crochet of the row in the first space (at the base of the ch1).

Instructions
Chain 33 (29: 41: 49: 61)
Row 1. 1hdc in 2nd ch from hook, 1hdc in next 31 (27: 39: 47: 59) ch until end of row, TURN [32 (28: 40: 48: 60) hdc].
Row 2. Ch1, 1hdc in 1st sp (at base of ch1), 1hdc in next 31 (27: 39: 47: 59) sps, TURN [32 (28: 40: 48: 60) hdc].
Repeat row 2 until you have a total of 24 (31: 36: 45: 60) rows.
Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in ends.
IMPORTANT: Due to the nature of chenille yarn, before weaving in ends, tie 2 to 3 knots in all yarn ends (be careful not to tie them too tightly or the yarn may snap!). This will prevent all your hard work from un-ravelling.
