Create a soft, modern blanket with the free Plush Chunky Crochet Blanket Pattern. This cozy design is perfect for chilly nights, stylish home décor, or thoughtful handmade gifts.
Using simple stitch techniques and plush sherpa-style yarn, this blanket works up into a snuggly, inviting piece that looks just as good draped over a sofa as it does wrapped around you.
The blanket body is worked using easy double crochet stitches placed between stitches, which makes stitch placement much easier when working with fluffy, jumbo yarn. This thoughtful construction helps reduce frustration and keeps the project enjoyable, even with plush textures.

The result is a beautifully even fabric with lots of softness and warmth.
A standout feature of this pattern is the two-color candy stripe (barber pole) border. This eye-catching finish adds a polished, professional look without requiring complicated stitch work or advanced colorwork skills. It’s a simple way to elevate the design while keeping the pattern approachable.
Designed for advanced beginners and intermediate crocheters, this pattern is written in US crochet terms and includes four blanket sizes.
You’ll use basic stitches like chain, double crochet, single crochet, and slip stitch, along with an easy stitch repeat and helpful video tutorials. If you’re ready to explore plush jumbo yarn and create a cozy statement blanket, this pattern is a satisfying and rewarding project.
