Snuggle up under deep texture with this free Tunisian basket weave blanket pattern, combining bulky yarn with bold, wide blocks of color. Once you know basic Tunisian knit and purl stitches, alternating them into this basket weave pattern feels natural and rhythmic.
Bulky weight yarn gives the fabric wonderful heft and warmth that builds fast on a cabled hook. Unlike standard crochet basket weave made with thick post stitches, this Tunisian method stays surprisingly supple and uses far less yarn overall. The finished blanket measures a generous 50 by 74 inches, but adjusting the footprint takes zero guesswork . Just add or subtract stitches in multiples of 8 along the foundation chain. Work 12 basket weave rows per color band across four coordinating shades, swapping your yarn on the final loop of the return pass for clean, invisible color transitions. Grab a long cabled Tunisian hook, pick four favorite bulky yarn shades, and stitch this cozy basket weave throw for the ultimate couch companion!
