What Is a Crochet Afghan?
A crochet afghan is a thick piece of fabric made of interlocking loops of yarn or thread. Crochet afghans are basically warm blankets, generally knitted or crocheted from many colorful square blocks.
The words afghan, blanket, and throw are often used interchangeably when referring to crocheted cloth made for warmth, but in general afghans and throws are smaller, and blankets are larger to fit beds.
What Is a Chunky Crochet Blanket?
A chunky crochet blanket is a type of blanket that is worked using thick, chunky yarns. As the name suggests, these blankets may be heavier, thicker, and warmer than other afghans made with lighter-weight yarn.
Worked with basic crochet stitches, chunky crochet blankets are faster to make than projects made with lighter-weight yarn.
We’ve put together a list of 57 quick and easy chunky crochet blanket patterns that are not just for advanced crocheters but especially for beginners who are just starting their crochet journey.
And you know what the best thing about this list is? These patterns are all FREE! You’ll find everything from modern simple chunky throws to baby blankets. They are straightforward and will help you practice those skills you have.
What Size Are Crochet Blankets?
Blankets are made in different sizes depending on their use. Below is a general list of crochet blanket sizes.
Baby Blanket Sizes
- Lovey – 12” by 12”
- Cradle – 15” by 30”
- Stroller and crib – 30” by 35”
- Receiving – 40” by 40”
Adult Blanket Sizes
- Lapghan – 40” by 48”
- Small Throw – 52 “ by 60”
- Large Throw- 60” by 72”
- Twin – 66” by 90”
- Twin XL – 66” by 95”
- Full – 80” by 90”
- Queen – 90” by 100”
- King – 108” by 100”
- California King – 104” by 108”
To get the sizing right, doing a gauge swatch is the best course of action. If you are getting the same number of stitches per inch as the designer did, you can ensure that your blanket will come out the size you expect.
How Long Does it Take to Crochet a Chunky Crochet Blanket?
Chunky crochet blankets are very quick to make. Because of the thickness of the yarn, crocheting a blanket takes an average of six to twelve hours depending on your speed.
The time it will take to crochet your blanket will also depend on its size, the weight of yarn you are using, the complexity of the stitches, and your skill level. But crochet afghans are a very approachable project that doesn’t take too long, especially using chunky yarn.
What is the Best Crochet Stitch for a Blanket?
When it comes to crocheting blankets and afghans, the possibilities can be limitless. There are thousands of ways to design a blanket and almost as many stitches to try.
If you’re looking for more options, our Ultimate Crochet Stitch Library has 45 stitch patterns that are perfect for crocheted blankets and other projects.
The best crochet stitch for a blanket depends on many different factors including the thickness and the desired look of the blanket.
Here are five of our favorite stitches to use for crocheted blankets to get you started.
Double Crochet Stitch
Double crochet is probably one of the easiest stitches out there. It’s one of the few basic stitches that most people learn when they first start crocheting.
The great thing about double crochet is you can create a blanket quickly and easily. Check out how to double crochet here.
Shell Stitch
The shell stitch is a great stitch when it comes to designing a blanket. I just love the lacy look you get with the shell pattern. It's fun, easy, and beautiful. To create the shell pattern, you just need five double-crochet stitches (dc) on top of a single crochet stitch (sc) on the previous row.
Learn how to crochet the shell stitch the easy way.
Back Post Double Crochet
The back post double crochet stitch gives a great texture without being too complicated. This method works like the typical double crochet except you work the stitch around the back of the dc from the previous row instead of working in the loops at the top of the stitch.
Blanket Stitch
The blanket stitch forms a uniquely beautiful pattern. This stitch uses a repeating combination of single crochet (sc) and two double crochet (dc) stitches. The close stitches make it ideal for baby blankets.
Waffle Stitch
One way to add a fun texture to your chunky crochet blanket is by incorporating waffle stitch into the blanket pattern. This stitch is made up of a series of double crochets (dc) and front post double crochets (fpdc).
Practice how to crochet the waffle stitch.
How Much Yarn Will You Need to Crochet a Chunky Blanket?
The amount of yarn you’ll need for your blanket will depend on the blanket’s size, design, and thickness.
According to Lion Brand, a regular-size afghan will need about 2,000 to 2,250 yards of bulky weight yarn, 1,625 to 2,000 yards of super bulky weight yarn, and 1,375 to 1,625 of jumbo weight yarn.
The pattern you choose will also give you a good estimate of how much yarn you will need for your project as well. If you’re designing your own blanket, finding a pattern that’s similar in size and yarn weight will help you estimate how much yarn you will need.
How to Choose the Right Yarn for Your Blanket?
When looking for a yarn for your crochet blanket, you’ll want to consider the fiber used, how easy it is to care for, and the cost.
You can use whatever fiber you like for your crocheted blanket. Wool will provide the most warmth, but you will want to look for superwash wool so that it’s easier to care for your finished blanket.
Acrylic yarns can give you a similar level of warmth and tend to be less expensive than wool. Cotton yarn is easy to care for but can make your blanket heavy. A blend of different fibers can bring the best qualities of the different fibers to play, such as the warmth of wool but the washability of acrylic.
Of course, because a crocheted afghan tends to take a lot of yarn, you will need to consider your budget as well. You can sometimes save when buying a bundle pack of yarn instead of buying by the skein. This is also a great time to use those craft store coupons or wait for a sale to get the best chunky yarn for a crochet blanket for you.

Recommended Supplies to Make a Chunky Crochet Blanket
Aside from yarn, there are a few other supplies you will need to make your own crochet chunky blanket.
First, a crochet hook, of course. The pattern you are working on will tell you the size the designer used. Check your gauge to make sure you’re getting the same number of stitches per inch and adjust if needed so your blanket will come out the same size.
A tape measure is helpful when working on a large project like a blanket. You’ll also want scissors and a yarn needle for dealing with your yarn ends.
Blocking blankets is usually unnecessary but if you are working in squares or sections you want to make sure are all the same size, having some blocking tools handy will be helpful.
Now that you’ve collected everything you need, let’s check out some great chunky crochet blanket patterns!
