"I am in love with this blooming crochet star stitch blanket. If you can crochet basic stitches like the single crochet and half double crochet, you can make this beautiful crochet pattern too. This pattern comes with a link to my step-by-step photo tutorial, written tutorial, and a video tutorial from my Youtube channel. Chunky Easy Crochet Blanket Pattern This stitch is a bit of a yarn eater, which can be a good thing if you are trying to use up your yarn stash. However, when completed, it creates a rather chunky blanket, and I just used a Caron One Pound yarn for this project. "

"My latest corner to corner animal blanket is this Farm Animals themed graphgan! I added a Spike Stitch border with the hopes that it would look like a fence. Each of the 6 crochet animals is a c2c crochet blanket square. Pictured top to bottom and left to right, the animals are: Chick, Horse, Goat, Pig, Cow and Sheep. If you're not up to the task of crocheting six animal graphs, you could easily turn any of the c2c crochet blanket squares into a crochet pillow. Just follow the instructions from my Fox pattern. "

"The Lightly Lacy Baby Blanket crochet pattern gives you a blanket that's neither too fancy nor too plain. It strikes a great balance right in the middle making it a lovely pattern to use for any baby. Plus, you can easily adjust the size and make it a throw for your own living room. This lacy blanket doesn't require fancy stitches or even hard stitch combos. The main body of the blanket is made by repeating a single crochet, chain 3, single crochet combo."

"This classically simple crochet shell blanket is made in a solid tan color yarn. The crochet stitch pattern paired with the yarn color just give this afghan an heirloom quality look and feel. The pattern is a four row repeat, which provides a bit of variety in your crochet project. For me, if you are going to be working on this for a little bit, it is nice to have some different crochet stitches every few rows. This pattern uses the double crochet and single crochet stitches. Therefore, it is easy to master."

"Quickly hook up a squishy doll blanket with this simple, contemporary crochet pattern worked in super bulky yarn. Once you understand back-loop-only, you realize that this doll's blanket is comprised of really basic crochet stitches, making it super easy and exceptionally quick. So what are you waiting for? Grab 3-4 skeins (64yd/59m each) or 202 yards of super bulky yarn and a N/15 -- 10.00mm crochet hook, and you, too, can have a cozy Chunky Doll Blanket to gift to your favorite, little, doll mama in no time."

"For this Anchor Baby Blanket I wanted the anchor motif to be subtle, but you certainly don't have to make it that way. I think this blanket would be gorgeous in white with blue anchors. It would take more work, but I think it would be worth it and it would be more of a nautical baby blanket. Although the raised side of the post stitches are supposed to make the anchor motif the most visible, the back side of the square still has some good texture and that anchor motif isn't lost."

Teal blanket yarn works perfectly with this wave crochet pattern to create a peaceful, ocean vibe for this Teal Waves Crochet Blanket. Wave stitches can be fun to crochet, you just have to develop a rhythm of sorts to keep track of which stitch you're using. The upside is if you use the wrong stitch, it will quickly become very obvious when your waves don't line up! This Teal Waves Crochet Blanket is definitely one of my favorite afghan projects to date!

"This simple rib crochet blanket border is a great addition to any blanket. It is a very traditional looking border and can be worked on any blanket. Plus, it is an easy one-row repeat pattern. For this blanket, you will simply need an even stitch count around the entire blanket. Ideally, you should already have an even stitch count. Your top and bottom row should have matching stitch counts, your sides rows should have matching stitch counts and you will have four corners. Overall the stitch count should be even. But do not worry, I will show you in the video how to correct the stitch count if it is off for some reason."

"Warm, cozy, flattering shrug that works up quick and easy, the Bette Winter shrug can be worn over a tank top when it starts to get chilly at night or over a dress to add a little color and a winter feel. I really enjoy the texture the stitches give this shrug. This piece is sure to keep you warm on wether out on the town or curled up on the couch. This shrug measures 29″ in height and 36″ in width."
