Chunky Blankets!
Chunky Blankets!
Pattern Roundup + Design your Own + Bundled Up Blog Hop + Behind the Stitches
I had some lovely feedback for the chunky blanket pattern last week. It’s fab to know that a group of crocheters will be making the pattern for hurricane survivors, useful for another group who are learning to crochet and I loved your excitement of choosing your colours to match your décor. Thank you!
Tying in with the same theme, this week I have a chunky blanket roundup and a post on designing your own chunky blanket. I have the link this week for the Bundled Up blog hop that starts 1st November. And I’m sharing the next Behind the Stitches interview.
Chunky Blanket Patterns
This roundup of free chunky blanket patterns has something for everyone! Whether you’re after a snug lap blanket or a luxurious king-size throw, these crochet patterns cover a variety of sizes and styles. The patterns use different techniques and different stitches.
Alongside a photo of the finished chunky blanket, I’ve added the size, stitches used, techniques, skill level, yarn and how the pattern is worked. This should give you enough information to decide whether you want to click through to the full pattern.
Clicking on the button below will take you to the roundup on my blog.
Design your own Chunky Blanket
In this guide I cover everything from yarn choices and stitch selection to planning your project. I’m also sharing my 7 essential steps to make designing your blanket a smooth and enjoyable process.
I’d love to see the blanket you design! Share with me in any way you feel comfortable.

Whether you want a pattern to follow or to design your own chunky blanket, I hope you have fun!
Bundled Up Blog Hop
As mentioned last week, this blog hop is hosted by Michelle of Two Brothers Blankets.
Every day from November 1st to 30th 2024 there will be a free pattern for you to download and the days alternate with a hat one day and scarf the next.
The event post will be updated with the new pattern by 8am EST/ 12 GMT each day.
Clicking the button below will take you to the event post. If you click on the link before then, you will receive an error page. Reminder, the event begins 8am EST/ 12 GMT on 1st November and the pattern will change at the same time each day.
I’ll add the link to my Facebook page and group when it is live.
I hope you find something you want to crochet 😊
Behind the Stitches
Next up in my series is April Garwood from Banana Moon Studio.
Find out how April turned her crochet hobby into a business. She is also sharing (in detail) her design process from idea to finished product, which you might find helpful. And of course there’s more 😊
You’ll find the interview on my blog here.
I’ve been sharing scam websites and stolen pattern information in the Facebook group. If you know of any I should be adding, please feel comfortable enough to let me know. Let’s come together to support our crocheters and crochet designer community.
Next week I’m planning on releasing my new pocket scarf pattern so I hope you stick around.
Have a fab week ahead.
