Chunky Crochet Throw Blanket Pattern

If you love bulky blankets or live in a cold area like me, then you’ll love this throw because it is PERFECT for staying warm. We get months of use out of our blankets so it is essential we have quite a few of these around for everyone during Winter.

Happy Crocheting!

The Inspiration Behind This Crochet Throw

The inspiration behind this design is from my A & S’s room! (My boys!) Their bed quilts have bold, intense colors like the ones I picked for this blanket and I wanted this throw to be similar so it would match their room.

I also picked bulky yarn because we live in PA and it is always cold here! Since we are smack dab in the middle of the cold season, S was so excited when I finished this blanket and has been wearing it around all week!

The Stitches That Are Perfect for This Blanket

The Yarn

For the entire blanket, I used Hometown USA yarn by Lion Brand, which has colors named after quite a bit of different cities in the USA. You never know, maybe yours is there because mine was. Yep! Pittsburgh.

As for the blanket, I decided to go with a few colors that popped out to me and I love how the colors blended so well together.

If these yarn colors aren’t your style, then feel free to chose colors that speak to you.

Click the yarn images below to take a peek at the yarn!

    For rows 5-46 when you say repeat rows 3&4 are you referring to that as the patter

    Row 5 would be 3
    Row 6 would be 4

    Or do I do 3&4 for each row?

      Hi Nicole,
      Yes. 🙂 Row 5 = row 3, Row 6 = row 4.

      Happy Crocheting!

    The color way Charlotte blue is no longer available.
    I can’t decide is I want to go with Portland wine or Miami sea foam.
    I looked at Kentucky blue is doesn’t go well it’s too bright. Help me pick!

      Oh No! I didn’t realize this. I think the Miami Sea Foam would look good!:)

    I’m doing the Willow Chair throw. Following your color chart – the Tampa Spice chart has row 6-8 which is 3 rows but looking at the actual throw it only looks like 2 rows. And when I count the total rows from your color chart I only count 46 rows not 47.
    Am I doing something wrong?

      Hi Barb,
      The pattern has a row of single crochets between each tr / dc row so that may be why it looks different in the blanket picture.
