I have been seeing oversized chunky knit throws in all the home decorating department stores - some are done with arm-knitting or large needles - here is your quick and easy crocheted version! 

Blanket using complete Colour Pack measures 28” x 43” ( 71 x 109 cm). Border adds about 2 inches (5 cm.)

Here is a versatile beanie with an easy lace knit pattern that will work up in no time; options given for worsted/aran and Bulky versions. (Although it looks a little like cables, it is just a simple lace pattern using knit, purl, increases and decreases using yarn-over, knit two together, and ssk.)

Here is my 12” version of the Sun motif from my September Morning Afghan. Three-dimensional leaves surrounding a textured center, on a solid double-crochet base. Final round in tapestry crochet technique.

This is a beautiful motif designed and constructed with fun and ease in mind. Pattern is simple enough for the beginner, easy to memorize, and produces an elegant and impressive square. Changing the color order produces many different interesting looks.

This hat combines my two favorite attributes of knitting and crocheting a hat. I love the speed and texture of the crocheted brim, and I love the smooth and pretty decreases of the knitted crown. This hat will whip up in no time with a Bulky yarn (Symbol 5) and 6.00 mm hook and needle.

Quick and easy granny-square works up as a 12” afghan block in worsted/aran weight yarn or make it an 18” pillow top with Bulky yarn and an M/N hook.

Here is a nice solid block designed for this year’s Moogly Afghan CAL 2023 - see Mooglyblog.com for all of this year’s free patterns.

This is another of my crochet interpretations of a breeze block design. Many people have said my Faded Love pattern looks like a breeze block pattern and it does! But I did not intend it that way. So I looked at other breeze blocks to see if I could design another one in crochet and this is the result.

A fast and easy granny hexagon, great as a stashbuster with any weight of yarn, or use your favorite 15 skein pack of dk yarn - I have the numbers worked out in the pattern.

12” afghan block in aran/worsted, with 41 stitches per side in final round.

Based on a knitting stitch called Tuck Stitch in the older books and Bubble Stitch or Bobble Stitch these days, this is an easy stitch knit into a row below. Adds just enough texture and keeps you interested. Also looks great in multicolor - use up scraps!

I love to adapt to crochet the forms and styling of other art media, this from ceramic tiles. This afghan block is repetitive and easy to stitch with striking results.

Free Version Available on my blog.

This is a fun-to-crochet square pattern to add to all your sampler afghans. Would also look stunning as a full afghan as all the window panes connect in pattern. Basic crochet stitches plus double crochet clusters and a few front-post trebles are all you need to complete this solid square. Works up quickly and color changes give a whole new loo...

Second in my Ceramic Tiles series - afghan blocks designed to resemble the patterns found in hand-painted ceramic tile.

This familiar floor tile pattern is cleverly captured in crochet, with a timeless design that will complement any decor.

Here is the third in my Ceramic Tiles series of Afghan Blocks inspired by the rhythmic and rustic design of hand-painted ceramic tiles.

Small Daisy Pop Mini Motif works up to 3” in an aran weight, 5” in bulky weight and can be used in a 9-patch for an afghan square or can be assembled into a blanket of any size. I think it would make a great tote bag and I have recently re-worked the pattern to make a pillow in Chunky Monkey.

If you have the Deco’Ghan pattern (JulieAnny Mystery 2014) then you already have this motif.

Deco’Ghan was originally presented as the 2014 Mystery’Ghan on the Julie Yeager Designs board. Complete pattern with photos now available! (Bonus patterns included with download - Courtyard Tiles and Round Ripple.)

This is the same stitch pattern as my All the Colors Striped Blanket, but worked on the diagonal. Start with a chain 2 and off you go! The pattern beautifully complements the subtle ombres and shadings of Scheepjes Fine Art, but can be also used with a self-striping yarn, an ombre yarn, stripes, or solids. The textured pattern is reversible and...

Solid squares in 2 colors, with “no holes” corners and a clean contemporary look.

Here is an easy rhythmic design with basic crochet stitches and a few post stitches. Relax and enjoy! Fabulous as a full blanket or as part of a sampler.

This is my whimsical interpretation of a Formal English Garden, courtesy of my crochet hook and the misty bright shades of Stone Washed XL.

Stunning in its simplicity, this versatile granny square blanket can complement any decor, from vintage to modern. “Hole-free” corners add to the appeal.

Easy double crochet clusters form a lush and unique square. Straightforward repetitive stitching. Lacy look but dense and sturdy block. Mix up your colors for a different look.

Four Winds Afghan, formerly our MysteryGhan 2021, consists of four distinct patterns combined into a fun and inspiring crochet experience. My palette was inspired by sun-drenched seaside vacation photos The four mandalas in overlay technique could stand alone but are squared up and form our first strip. Two easy and rhythmic stitch patterns are...

The Garden State Afghan reflects a profusion of flowers scattered across the grass. Constructed in three sizes of portable squares, crocheting this afghan will provide you with hours of enjoyment as you let your creative powers flow.

Easy granny octagons and squares joined with a slip stitch join.

Easy beginner pattern with striking results. Simple bullseye circles with a twist - one single post stitch makes all the difference. A careful and minimalist join brings out the corner design, making for a modern and eye-catching throw.

Slight design modification for 2018 - look for free version on my blog.

Fun Valentine’s Day-themed 9” afghan block features my yo-yo circles worked into the pattern, then outlined to make a familiar heart shape. A border round of heart-shaped V-stitches adds a little whimsy.

New free pattern alert! Free Version of pattern on my blog, http://julieyeagerdesigns.com

I love to crochet with Caron Cakes; the wool/acrylic blend is enjoyable to work with and the colors are fabulous. Each skein features five bright colors and I designed this motif to use precisely the amount of yarn in one color change; you will get seven motifs from each skein. Eight skeins will give you a nice size throw of about 45” x 58” but...

And now for something completely different - a new approach to the hexagon afghan. 61 hexagons in 6 different patterns bordered and arranged in a fun shape. You can use as few as 4 colors or as many as you’d like. This afghan boasts portable construction, a variety of crochet stitches, a unique and unusual shape, and you can even use it as a st...

This is an adaptation of my Spiral Hexaround Motif, joined in groups of 4 for a new look. Each quartet is bordered with a round of single crochet and joined together with optional half-hexagons.

Here is the last installment in our Block of the Month 2013 on the Julie Yeager Designs Board.

The stitch pattern in this hat expands on the corrugated rib stitch popularly used in waistbands and wristbands of Fair Isle type sweaters. You knit one color and purl the second color so it does not curl, although it is not stretchy like most ribbing. This would be a good time to learn two handed stranding - I usually do the knit stitches Cont...

This is an easy top-down crocheted beanie, using 2 strands of dk/light worsted held together. One skein of each yarn will make two hats. Two size options are given.

Fast and easy cowl pattern using under 2 skeins of Vanna’s Choice; what’s not to like?

A new take on the traditional granny square, with a pattern that does not skew, no matter how big it gets! Adaptable to any size, this version uses over 5 pounds of bulky weight yarn and finishes at a generous size of 72” x 72”.

This 12” afghan square is fast, fun and deceptively easy to crochet. Use black as your outline for a stained glass effect, or go with a bright or muted palette. You can’t go wrong, and I’ll bet you can’t make just one.

This is an easy pattern that starts with a crochet rib brim. Stitches are picked up on the side of the beginning strip. Pattern is an easy granny type stitch with hdc and smooth decreases to the top. Slightly slouchy. I was able to change the size with a change of hook and yarn, but sizes are given for Teen through XL, and you can easily adapt ...

These are patterns for four 4” x 4” blocks that present some interesting and fun-to-make techniques.

This started out as a round dishcloth; the loopy fabric in cotton yarn will provide nice scrubbing texture. When expanded into a 12” square it will make a thick and substantial afghan square. I think it would also be fabulous as a pillow top.

Versatile 6” motif to use up your scraps.

Designed for my crafty friend Margaret’s (mugginsquilts) comfortghan, using the Tapestry Crochet technique. Two colors are used in each round, and you crochet over the yarn not in use. Easy pattern with written instructions. 12” block with two variations for a 9” version are included.

This is a quick to make hat in single crochet using the Tapestry Crochet technique. 3 sizes are offered, 22, 23, and 24”. You will need approximately 65 g of Main Color and 25 g of a Contrast Color of an aran or worsted weight yarn.

This is an easily memorized repetitive pattern with a versatile, modern result.

To evoke only the best memories of your favorite granny square blanket…

New for 2019 - Updated pattern with Baby Blanket version - so pretty in shades of Caron Cakes. I’ve changed the name to Mesmerizing Ripple.

Formerly my 2017 Mystery Afghan, Midday Mandala consists of mostly easy stitching with post stitches, some motif work, and some long continuous rounds. Just enough variety so you will not get bored. Finished sample in Stonewashed XL measures 72” across, smaller version in Colour Crafter dk yarn measures about 56”.

NEW: November 2022 - Pattern has been updated for a slightly thinner yarn (Mary Maxim Prism) as the original yarn is no longer available. Pretty border pattern has been added. Older and newer files still available to download! Link to video for the motif also included.

Like “In Treble,” this pattern relies on the treble cluster. Much of the flower is double thickness so it will make a warm and cushy afghan. The pattern is repetitive and easily learned - all of which spells fun crocheting in my book! Photo tutorial included with pattern.

Easy knit/purl pattern, with options for ladies Medium and Large/XL sizes, as well as a Baby/Toddler size called Baby Addison.

My 2020 MysteryGhan is now complete! Introducing Octa’Ghan! Pattern consists of 9 distinct unique and fun afghan square motifs plus 2 half-squares that can be assembled in a one-of a kind octagon shape or enlarged into a lozenge shape. Also looks lovely assembled in a square or rectangle or can be used in any sampler afghan - each of the 11 pat...

Suitable for the beginner, this pattern contains two versions of a gently rolling ripple blanket that I call broad stripes and narrow stripes. 800 g of aran weight yarn is enough to complete both blankets in a baby blanket size - approx 30” x 30”. Optional border pattern is included; looks good with and without border.

Here is a pattern for 8 square motifs to combine into a modern and versatile home decor item. This eye-catching throw will impress, yet it can be knit by the beginning knitter. Seven motifs are portable and easily memorized, with one intermediate level intarsia design. Have fun combining your yarns and colors or just go with a two-toned sophist...

Quick crocheted bucket hat using two strands of dk or thin worsted held together. Three size options are given.

5th installment in my Ceramic Tiles series.

Resplendent Afghan presents an update of the classic granny square, using a similar easy and rhythmic technique, while adding visual and textural interest with post stitches. The charcoal borders soften the often-seen black borders of a traditional granny blanket, but like your favorite granny, this is a pattern that presents endless possibilit...

Roses and Ivy is my crocheted version of an allover knitted sweater pattern that resembled roses and ivy on a trellis. Constructed of many individual motifs, your choice of colors will give many different looks. So many beautiful versions have been posted!

If you have the Deco’Ghan pattern then you already have this motif!

Here is a cute and easy round ripple - thoroughly tested on my Ravelry Board .

Here is a modern baby blanket for that new addition - crochets quickly with an easily learned pattern and the perfect weight for baby.

This is an eye-catching afghan constructed of six enormous granny squares. Large expanses of solid color will help you appreciate your beautiful yarn colors. Easy stitching with mostly double crochet will provide a relaxing crochet experience.

There is an error in the pattern which I haven’t had a chance to fix. It’s been a while so I cannot remember but think it is rather obvious so if you would like to try it, download it free with Coupon Code SNOWFLAKE.

Make this the centerpiece of your Halloween-themed afghan!

This is a fairly easy design that relies on the Spike Stitch - a long double crochet worked into a row below the working row.

August 2013 block on the Julie Yeager Designs board. Come join us for a new 12” afghan block design every month this year.

Fans of my Modern Blanket of Flowers know that I love self-striping yarn. When self-striping yarn is crocheted in rounds and joined at the end of each round, an unattractive jog can develop, so this motif is worked as a spiral without joins to interrupt the color flow. The subtle spiral in a hexagon is fast and easy to crochet.

This is a fun to stitch pattern that quickly changes from square to diamond and back to square. Narrow cluster stitch emphasizes the starburst effect.

Three-dimensional five-petaled flower is pretty and fun to make. Crab stitch and raised border add variety.

NEW July 2022 - Pattern has been updated with revised instructions for last Octagon popcorn round and a pretty border. Will leave both versions in the file for now. Yarn Pack available with pattern at Mary Maxim!

Like light shining through a stained-glass window, this afghan square will brighten your day. It is easy to stitch with only a few post stitches; most is single and double crochet.

October 2013 Afghan Block of the Month on the Julie Yeager Designs Board.

This simple and classic daisy design is quick to crochet and fun to work.

Sweet Pea was my 2016 MysteryGhan, and all the clues are now complete and in one file.

This is a pattern for a very stretchy ribbed knit hat with smooth decreases at the crown. Will easily become your everyday beanie. One size suitable for women, men, and teens. Instructions given for medium weight yarn and bulky weight yarn. Great for last minute gifts!

This is a 12” Afghan Block with an interesting post stitch construction - the surface crochet is worked within the pattern and looks a little like a spider web. I also thought “Tangled Web” described the friendly online relationship we all have here on Ravelry.

Bright, whimsical 12” afghan square utilizing my “yo-yo” technique in which the flowers are worked right into the fabric of an easy double crochet granny square.

Floral granny with a multilayered lily sitting on a lily pad. Some challenging stitch construction but give it a try. Support at the Julie Yeager Designs Ravelry group. Please post photos of your finished work - I would love to see it.

Thanks for Crocheting Along - Pattern is now a free Ravelry Download - Enjoy!

Easy head wrap makes a warm statement and a quick gift! Tall enough to cover the ears with style.

Fun and easy hat designed to take advantage of the five coordinating colors of Caron X Pantone, this pattern can also be quickly crocheted in a one-color version.

Changed this design to a free download in honor of its nomination for best Hot Pad design by The Crochet Awards 2015.

A cute introduction to intarsia knitting, you can use up small amounts of yarn leftovers with this quick and easy beret, which is knit flat and seamed. Knowledge of Knit, Purl, increases and decreases, mattress stitch and the basics of intarsia (wrapping new color) is needed to succeed with this pattern. Uses about 15 grams (25 yards) each of 6...

I’ve put the file up again - after I went over the pattern I found that there are no errors, but it is more of a recipe than a pattern - so I would say only attempt this if you are an EXPERT crocheter and intuitively know how to crochet to any shape. It’s fun and easy but you have to know what you’re doing before you start. :)

FAST FAST FAST - Complete this hat in about an hour!

Pattern for two fun granny squares that can be combined to form a gingham-like pattern. Squares as shown measure 5” square with aran weight yarn and a 5.0 (H) hook but you can use your favorite yarn and appropriate hook.
