This fluffy chunky crochet blanket pattern is a wonderfully cozy project designed with simplicity in mind. With an easy, repeatable stitch pattern, it’s quick to memorize and relaxing to work on once you get started.
Even though plush yarn can sometimes make stitches harder to see, this pattern is an excellent introduction if you’ve been wanting to try fluffy yarn without feeling overwhelmed.

The blanket is worked using Lion Brand Go For Fleece yarn, which has a soft sherpa-style texture that feels just like store-bought fleece throws. The super bulky #7 yarn works up quickly and creates a warm, squishy fabric that’s perfect for curling up on the couch. The sample shown uses Cream and Seafoam for a calm, cozy color palette, but any color combination would look beautiful.
This pattern includes four blanket sizes, making it easy to customize for your home or for gifting. The size can also be adjusted by adding or subtracting starting chains and rows for a truly custom fit.
Designed for advanced beginners, this pattern is perfect if you’re comfortable with basic crochet stitches and ready to explore plush yarn. The result is a soft, fleece-like blanket that looks polished, feels luxurious, and makes a thoughtful handmade gift or a cozy addition to your own space.
