Crochet Blankets That Are All Easy and Free
If you are looking for free and easy crochet patterns to make a quick, thick & cozy blanket, then you have come to the right place!
Here’s why.
Easy blankets are ones that use simple beginner-friendly stitches like the single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet. You can learn more about these and 3 other easy stitches in my post about 5 basic crochet stitches for beginners.
Once you learn these stitches you’ll be able to create an easy crochet blanket with one of my free patterns!
Read on down to find some of the best beginner crochet patterns to start your crochet blanket journey.
The Yarn for Crochet Blankets That Is Perfect!
Check out the yarns I recommend to use for crochet blankets below! You can use all kinds of yarn, but I prefer yarns that are a chunkier weight because the pattern works up so much faster.
I’d recommend trying a few different fibers to see, which is your personal favorite. Yarn works up uniquely with different stitches so be sure to experiment.
So what’s my point?
You will find that a single crochet and a half double crochet will look very different when worked up even with the same yarn.

Help please. I’m a beginner and when I’m finished my first row, I’m having problems turning to being a new row. Thank you.
Hi Tina,
To continue you onto the next row just flip or turn your work over so that the end of the last row is now the beginning of the new row.
Hope that helps!

Looking for one of your afghan patterns from 3-4 years ago. Used Vanna’s Choice colors: taupe, grey marble, oatmeal and charcoal grey (might have been barley instead of charcoal grey), using single and half double crochet stitches (every other one).
Color blocked.
I’ve searched every where (online, my files, my computer) and can’t locate it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi Sheila,
