Tips for starting a crochet blanket
If you’re new to blanket making, here’s how to make it go smoother:
- Choose a simple stitch for your first project – moss, granny, or half double crochet work great.
- Use worsted or bulky yarn for faster progress.
- Stick with a larger hook (like 5mm–6.5mm) if you want a looser, drapey finish.
- Pick colors you love – you’ll be looking at them for a while!
Blankets are easy to customize – adjust the width and length to make them fit your couch, bed, or baby stroller.
Yarn ideas for blankets
- Acrylic yarns are budget-friendly and easy to wash.
- Cotton blends work well for lightweight summer throws.
- Chunky yarns are great for fast, squishy afghans.
- Self-striping or cake yarns add color changes without the work!
- Mix and match yarns or raid your stash – there’s no wrong way to build a blanket.
