The Simply Sophisticated Scarlet Crochet Throw is a stunning project that combines classic stitches with timeless style. Using just the double crochet, single crochet, and chain stitches, this blanket is approachable while still looking intricate and refined.
Perfect as an heirloom piece, it’s a design you’ll treasure for yourself or love giving as a heartfelt handmade gift.
Though the pattern works up to look delicate and detailed, it’s easier than it appears. The stitches create a light and airy texture, but the finished throw still provides warmth and comfort.

Even as a lightweight cover, it’s cozy enough to take the chill off on cool evenings. Its elegant lacework makes it versatile, too. You could even style it as a shawl or wrap for special occasions.
The finished blanket measures 42 x 81 inches without the fringe and 42 x 94 inches with the fringe, giving it a generous size for draping across a bed, sofa, or armchair.
Made with Lion Brand Comfy Cotton Blend (3 Light/DK), it has a soft drape and beautiful stitch definition. You’ll need approximately five skeins (1,960 yards) in the rich Poppy colorway to complete this project, which highlights the intricate stitchwork while adding a bold pop of color.
Whether you’re an experienced crocheter seeking a relaxing project or a confident beginner looking to expand your skills, the Simply Sophisticated Scarlet Crochet Throw is a joy to make.
The straightforward stitches paired with a delicate finish create a blanket that’s as practical as it is beautiful. Wrap yourself in it during quiet evenings at home, or display it proudly as a handmade accent that adds warmth and elegance to your décor.
