Have you thought about trying your hand at crochet? Or maybe you've learned the basics of crochet (or need to still learn- I can help you with that here in my Crochet Fundamentals course) but are looking for an easy project to sink your teeth into. Crocheting can be overwhelming at first but if you start off with easy, manageable projects, you'll be more likely to stick with it.
Blankets are a perfect way to ease into the world of crocheting. Not only can they be enjoyable to make, but they're also functional and make great gifts. Who doesn't love getting warm under a cozy blanket with a cup of cocoa and watching your favorite movie – especially in the winter months.
Crocheting a blanket is a fun and relaxing endeavor. Once you know how to crochet your choices of things you can make are limitless. And it doesn't have to take days, weeks and months to work up a crochet blanket. Simply choose a pattern with a large hook and bulky yarn and you'll have your blanket crocheted in no time flat. To help you, we've rounded up 20 awesome crochet blanket patterns that are perfect for beginners.
Love blankets as much as I do? That is why I put together this fun Blanket Pattern Bundle with 23 Video Classes and Patterns. You have to check this out! You won't find another bundle like this! Come and crochet along with me and my instructors while we whip up some blankets! Check out all the patterns here.
