The Alissa is an easy crochet blanket throw that is the perfect pattern to pick if you want to have a weekend crochet marathon. This relatively straightforward crochet blanket pattern involves repeats along with some simple stitches to make for a fun, quick, and easy crochet throw!

Easy Weekend Crochet Afghan
Yes, it is possible to make this easy weekend crochet afghan in just two days. Pair this soft, bulky yarn with a large crochet hook and you are all set to start and finish this pattern in the same weekend. Double Crochet V-Stitch. Normally, the V-Stitch has a chain 1 or 2 in the middle. Since this yarn is bulky, I opted not to work any chain stitched between the two double crochet stitches that make up the V-Stitch. While the yarn is bulky, the blanket itself is not thick. The larger crochet hook paired with the open and lacy stitch makes an afghan with a gorgeous drape that has a soft and squishy feel too.

Easy Weekend Baby Blanket
The Easy Weekend Baby Blanket uses super bulky yarn and a size Q crochet hook to work up this project easily in a weekend. The body of the blanket is worked in the crunch stitch, which is a combination of half double crochet and slip sts. The simple border is made up of only single crochet, so even someone new to crocheting can create this simple blanket. Uses Big Twist yarn and makes a great baby shower gift.
