If you love an easy, relaxing crochet project, this 3D ZigZag Waffle Crochet Throw Blanket is perfect for you! It uses just a simple one-row repeat with double crochet stitches, yet the texture is anything but basic. The stitch pattern creates a thick, squishy 3D effect with a zigzag design that looks amazing in any color. Once you get the rhythm of the stitches, you can sit back, relax, and let your hands do the work. Whether you’re making this throw for yourself or as a gift, it’s a fun and satisfying project from start to finish.
