BEGINNER FRIENDLY

Worked in a super chunky yarn and size O (12mm) crochet hook, this is a great project if you’re just starting out in crochet.

However, if you’ve been crocheting for a while I’m guessing that you’ll still enjoy this pattern as there’s only one row to repeat, so it’s a relaxing project for you.

You’ll love how quickly it works up too!

YARN USED

I opted to use James C. Brett Huggable which is made from 100% super soft polyester.

I really enjoyed working with this yarn and I was delighted with my finished blanket – it’s so cosy, snuggly and VERY squishy!

The yarn is not only super soft, but it’s lightweight too, which is a nice surprise given that it’s a super bulky yarn.

I also 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.

ADORABLE BABY SET

This super chunky crochet baby blanket is part of a set (see photo below).

There’s a matching hoodie (with bear ears), a cute beanie (with ears and earflaps) and some adorable baby booties.

All of these other items are made with a chunky yarn and J (6mm) hook and, as with this blanket, they’re all mainly worked using the wide half double crochet stitch (working your stitches in the spaces in between each stitch).

They can all be worked up in no time and would make such lovely gifts for a new arrival or baby shower.

SUPER CHUNKY CROCHET BABY BLANKET: A FREE PATTERN

This post for a super chunky crochet baby blanket pattern may contain affiliate links, which means I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my links, at no extra cost to you. Please read full disclosure for more information.

Please carefully read all the information below.

LEVEL

Basic – (see details of project levels at the Craft Yarn Council).

MATERIALS
  • Yarn: Category #6 / super chunky (bulky) / 14 ply yarn. I used 2 balls of James C. Brett Huggable,
    109 yds / 8.8 oz (100m / 250g) in the colour white (UG04).
  • Crochet hook: Size O (12mm) (your yarn will glide effortlessly along this hook)
  • Scissors (super sharp… and pretty too).
  • Yarn needle for weaving in your ends (the bent tip of this needle makes sewing much easier!)
GAUGE / TENSION

8 stitches & 6 rows = 6″ (15cm) in half double crochet worked in the spaces in between each stitch.

FINISHED SIZE

Width – 20″ (50cm)

Length – 30″ (76cm)

STITCHES & ABBREVIATIONS (US CROCHET TERMS)

beg – beginning

ch(s) – chain(s)

fasten off – to fasten off securely, work one chain, then cut the yarn leaving a 5 – 6” tail. Pull the
tail through the loop that is on your hook. Tighten gently.

hdc – half double crochet: Yarn over (yo), insert hook into next space, yo, pull up a loop (3 loops
on hook). Yo, pull through all 3 loops. 1 half double crochet completed.

sp(s) – space(es)

st(s) – stitch(es)

Turn: Turn your work clockwise or anti-clockwise. It doesn’t matter as long as you are consistent
for a neater edge.

[ ] – The total number of stitches at the end of a row.

PATTERN NOTES
  • US crochet terms used
  • This blanket can be made in any size: To begin, chain any number of stitches.
  • 1-row pattern repeat (repeat row 2)
  • In this pattern you will 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).
  • The blanket is completely reversible.
  • A video tutorial is provided (see above).
Close up of the stitches
INSTRUCTIONS

Chain 29

Row 2. Ch1, hdc in 1st sp (at base of ch1), hdc in next 27 sps, TURN [28 hdc].
