15 Bulky Yarn Crochet Blanket Patterns That Work Up Fast

This pattern from the blog Mama In A Stitch uses the lemon-peel stitch (alternating single and double crochets) to create a lovely bumpy texture that you’ll love to wrap up in.  It makes a great lapghan size for couch nights—though you can easily make it bigger for a full throw.

What I love: the texture has a cozy “cuddle-me” feel, and the super-chunky yarn makes for fast progress.

It holds up well even with heavy use in your living room. If you’re after something that feels luxurious but doesn’t require complicated stitches, this is a winner. It has that textured look without being intimidating!

 This pattern uses a super-bulky (#6) yarn and a mix of ribbing + textured stitch repeats to give the blanket serious squish-factor. 

The designer says she kept hers for years and the wear just shows how much it’s been loved.

The stitch repeat is interesting enough to keep your hands busy, but simple enough to relax into! It’s perfect for nights when you just want to curl up and make something that feels like a hug.

The texture gives interest, but you won’t find yourself fighting with complicated cable-style stitches.

This pattern from MJ’s Off The Hook Designs is straightforward and made for comfort. 

The designer talks about how she made it in “fall pumpkin-decor mode” and that playful vibe comes through in the pattern.

It uses big yarn, big hook, minimal fuss. If you’re newer to making blankets (or just want something you can knock out while watching a show), this is a relaxed project.

Plus you can pick your favourite colour and go big.

This one uses the “almond ridges” stitch which gives the blanket a cable-like texture (but without the cables). 

This blanket holds up for winter because of the super bulky yarn and the almond ridges stitch is fun and relaxing! If you like a bit of texture and want your blanket to feel substantial and warm—I mean really warm—this one is for you.

It’s not overly fussy in terms of stitch variety but gives a snuggly, premium finish.

This free pattern uses super-chunky yarn (like Bernat Blanket) and a large hook (12 mm) with a combination of single crochet + front-post double crochets for texture. 

The author says it takes roughly 4–6 hours to finish a throw size—wow!Why you’ll love it: If you’re in a hurry or want a quick gratification blanket, this is perfect.

Big yarn + big hook = fast results, and the texture has nice definition without being “look how complicated I am.” Great for gifts or if you want to finish something this week.

This pattern uses half-double crochet through the back loop only on super-bulky yarn to get a ribbed, knit-like effect. 

If you like the look of knitting but prefer crochet (or just want that ribbed texture), this gives that vibe. It’s simple and elegant.

The ribbed texture makes it visually interesting but still cozy and approachable!

This beginner-friendly free pattern uses bulky (#5) yarn and a large hook, with mostly double crochets in a “stacked granny” style. 

If you’re new to blankets or just want a mind-less, relaxing project—this fits the bill.

The stitch pattern is easy to remember, you’ll see progress quickly, and you’ll have something you’re proud of without too much headache.

Another gem from Stitchberry: this free pattern uses thick yarn and has a repeat pattern that makes it interesting but not tedious. 

This blanket is thick, luxurious, and easy to adapt any size you’d like. If you like a bit of design (texture changes, maybe stripe subtleties) but nowhere near complicated, this might be your sweet spot.

You’ll get a throw that feels crafted but still something you can pick up and enjoy.

From Daisy Farm Crafts: here’s a blanket made with a plush, velvet-type yarn (even thicker than typical super-bulky) for an ultra-soft finish. 

If softness is your absolute top priority (for example for snuggling on cold nights or making a gift for someone special), this pattern delivers!

The velvet texture gives it a luxe feel yet the construction remains accessible.

This one uses a super-bulky yarn (Wool-Ease Thick & Quick) and is built like a sampler style throw—meaning you’ll get bits of different textures or stitch motifs in one blanket.

If you get bored easily or like variety, the sampler approach keeps things fresh. Plus, the heavy yarn ensures it’s warm and cozy.

You’ll feel proud of how it evolves!

This blanket is all about simplicity—chunky yarn (#5) and an easy stitch repeat to make a blanket without fuss.

If you want something straightforward, something you can pick up and put down without confusion, this is perfect. Minimal thought, maximum cozy.

Although the sample for this chunky crochet blanket is a baby blanket using bulky yarn, the concept is easily scaled to a full throw size. 

It uses two colours and simple stitches, making it visually fun but still fast.f you’re drawn to colour-blocking or want to use up two favorite colors, this gives you that design element without complicating the stitch work.

Very adaptable!

This pattern uses super-chunky yarn (Bernat Blanket etc.) and a 12 mm hook, and works up in roughly 6 hours. 

The stitch is the herringbone half-double crochet, giving a lovely finish that still feels accessible. If you want something you can finish in a weekend (or even a night if you’re motivated) this is it.

Big yarn, fast result, and a pattern that lets you feel like you’ve accomplished something big!

This blanket uses the “even moss stitch” (moss stitch in a solid chunky yarn) and works up so fast and beautifully.

If you like texture that’s subtle rather than bold, this gives a gentle, consistent texture rather than big ridges or cables.

Great for a throw that becomes part of your decor rather than screaming “look at me.”

This pattern is designed with super-bulky yarn in mind — the kind of make-it-now, cozy-up-tonight blanket. It uses big yarn and big hooks, so you’ll see results fast.

The designer emphasizes that it’s a great project even if you’re newer to blankets. The finished size in the sample is approx. 43″ wide × 63″ long — a nice true throw size for curling up on the couch.

The pattern is flexible: if you wanted a bit wider, you just add more skeins.

The tone is friendly and relaxed — it gives you permission to make a blanket that’s for you, for chilly reading nights or gifting someone who loves big snuggly throws!
