I’ve made so many chunky crochet blankets because they are so fun, easy, and quick to make! You can get your large hook, chunky yarns, and whip out a blanket pretty fast-like. Today I’m sharing some of the prettiest, chunky crochet blanket patterns out there!

It’s fun to make throws and afghans, but they are super time consuming. By using chunky yarn or super bulky yarn and a large hook, it’s doable to make a blanket fairly quickly. It helps me avoid getting bored!

Honestly, these blankets are really nice to keep in mind for gift giving and they also work really well for charities.

What Supplies Do I Need For a Chunky Throw Blanket?

Large crochet hook (look at the label of the yarn to determine the size)
Chunky #5 or Super Bulky Yarn #6
Scissors
Tapestry Needle
Measuring Tape

What Is The Best Chunky Yarn For A Blanket?

Oh this is a loaded question! While we all have our own personal preferences, after making a lot of blankets, these tend to be my faves. They are washable, which is huge, and also generally affordable.

Lion Brand Yarn Wool Ease Thick & Quick (a go-to, wool acrylic blend)
Lion Brand Yarn Hometown USA Super Bulky (soft acrylic)
Superwash Yarns like Cascade Wool Yarn Chunky (pretty luxurious)
Billow from We Crochet is an amazing and rare cotton option (a splurge but gorgeous)
Blanket Yarns like Cover Story or others found in craft stores (love these for kids and babies)
Lion Brand Hue + Me Chunky Yarn (wool blend)

Chunky Yarn To Crochet With — I love a good, chunky yarn! This is Cascade Superwash Merino, but I use a ton of Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick too.

Remember, any chunky or super bulky yarn will work! I just get asked which I tend to use – so there you have it.

Can I Use Worsted Weight Yarn For These Blankets?

While chunky yarn and super bulky yarn are best, you can totally use worsted weight yarn too! Just hold two or three strands together to equal the thickness of a chunky weight yarn. Voila!

And you technically can use worsted weight yarn, but you’d have to use a smaller hook, which in turn makes a smaller blanket. So be sure you’re experienced if you’re going to change a yarn in the pattern.

Without further ado, let’s get to these quickies! (Well, as quicky as a blanket can get, lol)

There is something about chunky crochet blankets that is just over-the-top, super cozy. The texture you can get with the big yarns is so lofty and wonderful!

How Big To Make My Chunky Crochet Blanket?

We’ve all been there. Wondering how long to make a chain to create the right sized blanket.

The best, easiest way for me has been to make a chain about as long as I want the width of the blanket. From there, crochet with the stitch pattern you want until you’ve reached the desired length.

And here is a handy little blanket sizing guide too!
