Aspen Chunky Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern

The Aspen blanket is a thick, chunky crochet blanket with a rich, bumpy texture. It is made with super bulky yarn and a large 12 mm hook, so it works up quickly and is soft enough for tummy time or for adding comfort to hard surfaces. The baby size is approximately 36 by 36 inches.

A 3-page beginner pattern for a chunky 36 by 36 inch baby blanket worked with a two-row repeat.

What's included

Display and gift ideas

Who this pattern is for

This pattern is perfect for beginners, as it only uses chains, single crochet and double crochet.

Tips for making it

• Work a gauge swatch first, as the chunky yarn can change the size quickly.
• Place the single crochet in the double crochet and the double crochet in the single crochet of the previous row.
• To change the width, use a multiple of 2 plus 1 for the foundation chain.

Why you'll love this pattern

The blanket is thick, warm and finished in a few evenings. The two-row repeat is relaxing to make.
