Simple Striped Crochet Blanket
Check out this simple striped crochet blanket. This is an easy, cozy crochet blanket/throw that is created with the newest crocheter, in mind. A beginner-friendly crochet project that uses one stitch through the entire project.
This blanket is very plush and comfy and honestly, it works up really quickly. Combine a large crochet hook with a thick, bulky yarn and you’ll have a cozy masterpiece in no time.

PATTERN NOTES:
This project uses approximately 4 skeins of Bernat Blanket Yarn, the larger skeins (300g). Start the blanket and end the blanket with the same yarn color.
I purchased 2 skeins of yarn (the starting rows) in the same color.
This blanket is customizable, for a smaller blanket create a shorter foundation chain and fewer rows.
For a larger blanket, create more stitches in the foundation chain, and more rows.

Be sure to not pull your yarn too tight around your hook or it will be difficult to work the stitches in the foundation chain.

Using the Bernat Blanket yarn will allow you to create the coziest blanket. Depending on the time you spend creating your blanket you could have it finished in a few days.
I hope you enjoy making the simple striped cozy crochet blanket/throw as much as I did.
