Are you looking for an easy to crochet blanket? If so, I have a simple pattern for you!

I recently finished a crochet three stripe blanket for my living room couch and still being inspired I attempted to make something similar for son Sam’s bedroom.

This easy stitch color block pattern and simple color-blocked blanket pattern design is perfect for those who are new to crocheting and features a beginner stitch.

Are you looking for even more free crochet blanket patterns? I can help! Explore the Easy Crochet blanket pattern database for inspiration after you finish this color block crochet baby blanket! I promise you can learn how to make a blanket with this free and beginner-friendly design.

Read on down to find the blanket tutorial & pattern. Happy Crochet Blanket Making!

The Yarn That I Used for This Colorblocked Crochet Blanket

I used Red Heart Soft Yarn for this 4 color crochet blanket and let Sam pick out the colors. He did a pretty good job on his color choices and I really love how this colorful throw turned out.

Red Heart Soft is a 100% acrylic yarn that is available in a wide variety of colors so it will be easy to crochet a blanket that is uniquely you.

I did not follow a set of rows for each color. I changed the yarn colors when the color was up in the skein which was about every 18 rows. If you’d like a fun change to this then try the random stripe pattern generator to create a unique striped blanket.

Beginner Color Block Crochet Blanket

I promise if you are new to crochet, then this blanket is for you! The best thing about this simple beginner blanket is that it works up so fast and uses only single crochets throughout the entire design!

Single crochets are the perfect stitch to use when first starting a crochet journey. This beginner color block blanket is a quick make and will for sure be one that you will go back to time and time again.

      Hi Michelle,
      I just worked until the end of the skein of the red heart soft which ended up being about 18 rows. You can use the striped pattern generator to create a unique striped blanket if you’d like too! 🙂

      Happy Crocheting!

    Hi!
    I am about to start crocheting this for my first blanket I’ve ever made. Is this yarn soft? I am not a huge fan of “scratchy” wool or yarn and I want to make sure this yarn is soft to cuddle up in.

      Hi Abby,

      This yarn is very soft. Red Heart Soft is a great yarn to use for an extra cuddly project.

      Happy Crocheting!

    I made mine wider, but my blanket is still hardly wider than my lap. What were your final dimensions?

    I finished an afghan in the Harley Davidson colors for a son for Christmas this past week.. I did a dc with a J hook. I agree this is a great way for a beginner to learn. I am not a beginner but sometimes it is a good way to crochet and not have to think.
    I love your bright colors.

    I’ve tried making this piece several times now and every time I start and get to row 5 my work continues to curl – Suggestions on how to fix that? Did yours do that in the beginning and then straighten out as you moved forward? Love your work!

      Hi Samantha,

      The curling could be anything from the type of yarn used or even how tight the stitches are. It is OK if it does curl because you always block it later. 🙂 Thanks for the kind comment! <3

    Hi Krista,
    Crochet it is! The yarn arrived today, always an exciting moment :-). Colors are just like I imagined, I’ve already done the math and chained 300 in turquoise. I’ll probably end up going with DC instead of SC because my yarn is thinner than the one you used.
    Lovely project, it has made my day so much brighter already!
    Cheers,
    Johanna

    Hi there, thank you so much for inspiring my next crochet project – I will make a blanket (either knit or crochet, not quite sure yet) in exactly the same colors you’re suggesting – they’re absolutely gorgeous.
    Happy hooking and cheers from Berlin
