Easy Weekend Crochet Afghan
Afghans and Blankets
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.
Three Hour Throw
Afghans and Blankets
The Three Hour Throw lives up to its name - you can crochet this jumbo afghan in less than 3 hours! And you don't even need a giant hook - just Bernat Blanket Extra and your own hands, and the free crochet blanket pattern on Moogly! To make the Three Hour Throw, I used two strands of Bernat Blanket Extra held together - and that made some really big stitches! Crocheting with your hands isn’t really any harder than crocheting with a hook. You still yarn over with the yarn before pulling it through loops.
Giant Granny Square Throw

I made this beautiful throw as a gift for my son and his girlfriend. I love the geometric shapes and jewel toned colors which give it vibrancy. With the mix of colors the throw can match any decor, whether you use it on your bed for extra warmth or in the family room for cuddling on the couch. The throw is an easy pattern to make and will brighten up any room in your home. The Bernat premium yarn is very soft and washes beautifully. I hope you enjoy making it!

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.
