Chunky Charles Crochet Throw Blanket Pattern
Easy Crochet Chunky Blanket Pattern Free
As the fall season sets in and temperatures drop, nothing beats the comfort of a handmade chunky crochet blanket. I’m excited to introduce my new bulky yarn crochet blanket pattern, the Charles Chunky Throw Blanket Pattern, a design that combines warmth, style, and ease. This beginner chunky crochet blanket is made with the popular Bernat Blanket yarn, known for its super soft texture and bulky weight, making it perfect for both beginner and experienced crocheters looking for a fast and satisfying project.
Why a crochet blanket using Bernat Blanket yarn? I made myself a blanket using the Bernat Blanket yarn and loved it so much that one year I decided to make blankets for my family and close friends using the same yarn. I truly believe it was one of the best gifts I’ve ever given family and friends during Christmas. It brings me so much joy when I visit and see them wrapped up in the blankets I made. Some of them even asked me to make additional blankets for their own friends and family as gifts, while others simply referred people to me after seeing how cozy and beautiful their blankets turned out. It’s been wonderful to see how much they all love them!
Best part is you can customize the blankets as you want to make it uniquely yours!

Yarn
I used Bernat Blanket yarn for this blanket. Bernat Blanket Yarn is a super bulky (category 6) yarn that’s incredibly soft, plush, and perfect for making cozy blankets, throws, and home decor items. It is made from 100% polyester, it has a chenille-like texture that’s both smooth and durable, making it ideal for projects that need to withstand regular use. This yarn works up quickly due to its thickness, making it a favorite among crocheters and knitters for time-sensitive projects or when you want a luxurious finish. Bernat Blanket yarn is also machine washable and dryer safe, which adds to its practicality.
Apart from it’s softness, I love Bernat Blanket yarn because it comes in a wide range of colors, from neutrals to brights, allowing for endless creative possibilities. Each skein offers excellent yardage, making it budget-friendly for larger projects like blankets.
Yarn Substitutes for Bernat Blanket Yarn include Lion Brand Yarn – Vel-Lux, Premier Yarns – Parfait Chunk, Hobby Lobby – Yarn Bee Eternal Bliss, and Big Twist – Cuddle.
