There’s nothing quite like curling up with a handmade blanket—especially one that’s as cozy and beautiful as the White Spruce Wavy Throw. I’m so excited to share this free chunky crochet blanket pattern with you! Whether you’re looking for your next weekend project or the perfect handmade gift, this modern throw brings comfort, texture, and style together in the best way.
Inspired by evergreen forests and named by a family member who spent years working in the lumber industry, this design holds a special place in my heart. I used Bernat Perfect Phasing yarn, which creates gorgeous color changes from deep forest green to snowy white—all without switching skeins. Paired with the Ribbed Ripple stitch, the result is a soothing, wavy texture that looks far more complex than it really is.

This pattern is beginner-friendly with a modern twist and can be customized to any size with a simple stitch multiple. Whether you’re making a child-sized lapghan, a statement throw for the sofa, or a full afghan to snuggle under, the White Spruce Throw is designed to grow with your creativity.
Make this Chunky Ripple Blanket in Any Size
One of the things I love about this pattern is how easy it is to adjust the size. Whether you’re making a cozy lapghan, a generous throw, or a full-size afghan, you can customize the width of your blanket by chaining a multiple of 14 + 3 stitches. That means you can make this blanket as narrow or wide as you like—just start with any multiple of 14, then add 3 extra chains at the end.
To make things even easier, I’ve included three suggested sizes below:
- Child or Lapghan: 38” x 38”
- Throw (shown): 50” x 59”
- Afghan: 60” x 72”
These are great starting points, but feel free to experiment based on your space or who you’re making it for.
This pattern is perfect for confident beginners and beyond. If you can work double crochets, you’ll find this blanket both relaxing and rewarding. The ribbed ripple stitch is a slight variation on the classic ripple, and it adds a lovely texture without being overly complicated. It’s the kind of project you can cozy up with on the couch and enjoy watching it grow—row by row.
Grab your hook, choose your favorite colorway, and let’s get stitching!
