The Cloud 9 Blanket is the most snuggly thing, and I wish I made it bigger so that I could use it! The good news is that the size is super easily adjustable, and you will be able to make it any size you'd like. This blanket is made with Loops and Threads Kai and the border is Bernat Pipsqueak. You will need a 5.0mm and 7.0mm crochet hook to make this super simple project!

My sister asked me to make her a crochet blanket with the Bernat Blanket yarn. Here is the super plush crochet blanket pattern I came up, fittingly called the Sofie Throw!. The yarn is 100% polyester so it's easy to wash and dry in the machine, and it's a #6 super bulky yarn. It's super thick and plush so with a big hook, this works up very quickly. There are so many colors to choose from.

Explore the shifting, layered textures of the Supernova Square. A starburst at the center sets this crochet afghan block in motion, radiating outwards into puffs, shells, ridges and more.

If you would like a smaller and more solid square, you can do that too, by working just the center portion without the shell stitch border!

The Rainbow Ruffle blanket is super warm, soft, cuddly, and so easy to make! The pattern is unbelievably simple; the entire blanket is crocheted in double crochet. The ruffle is added at the end, in front loops between two rows of different colors. The tutorial is written in standard US crochet terms, but if you're from the UK, you can easily follow the tutorial, just make treble crochet instead of double crochet (standing tr crochet instead of standing dc), and that's it! The other 2 stitches are the same (chain stitch and slip stitch). Yes, it's that simple!
