How to crochet an easy, basic, chunky, beautifully textured corner to corner afghan in 12 sizes. Worked in two strands of worsted weight yarn (or one strand of chunky weight yarn), this cozy afghan works up fairly quickly.

Colin Drew is an easy crochet line that features double crochet corner to corner boxes. This is a beginner friendly series, and this afghan is a great project to pair with watching your favorite TV show or movies. You don’t even have to count boxes if you don’t want to! You can use a soft tape measure to measure as you go, and stop at the width and length desired, though I will be providing box counts for each size in the written pattern.

Video tutorial included.

Materials:

• 120 (190, 530, 1275, 1940, 2840, 4390, 8770, 12250, 14270, 16430, 17020) Yards of Worsted Weight #4 Yarn - I used Red Heart Super Saver in Soft White
• M13/9mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends

Material Notes:
For this afghan, two strands of worsted weight yarn are held together. In it’s place, you could use one strand of chunky/bulky (#5) yarn. If you don’t mind a slight difference in measurements, gauge isn’t essential. You could even use a super bulky yarn for a larger, cozier afghan.

Using chunky weight yarn may require different yardages. My sample is the toddler/child size worked with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together. The rest of the size yardages are estimated based on my sample.

Yarn Alternatives: {wools} WeCrochet Swish, Lion Brand Wool Ease, {non-wool} WeCrochet Brava, Bernat Super Value.

Jewelry pliers to use to help weave in ends, as it can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.

Time Spent:
I worked the toddler/child size up in just over 11 hours.

12 Sizes:
Newborn Layering Photography Blanket, Lovey, Newborn Photography Blanket, Newborn, Lapghan, Toddler/Child, Throw, Twin, Full, Queen, King and California King.

Gauge - Not Essential:
3 Boxes = 4” Wide by 3 3/4” Tall

With the nature of this stitch pattern, the easiest way to measure is to do so in pattern.
