This pattern is also available for free on my website here.

I wanted this throw blanket to be big enough for my tall hubby, and also long enough for all of my kids to cozy up under while they’re playing Minecraft on the couch.

The finished size ended up being approximately 43″ wide and 63″ long.

If you want to make it a bit wider, just grab 8 skeins instead of 7. Each row will add to the width so you can make it as big as you prefer.

You’ll need a 25mm crochet hook size for this weight of yarn, or you can even crochet without a hook using your fingers.

This whole pattern is made using double crochet, so it works up extra fast.

At the end of each row you’ll make a turning chain of 2, turn your work, and then make the first double crochet into the first stitch. The turning chain does NOT count as a stitch.
