Hand Crochet Super Chunky Blanket

Hand Crochet Super Chunky Blanket

Hello everyone, this week I am bringing to you a hand crochet super chunky blanket tutorial. I am very excited about this crochet project. Indeed, I have been planning this new tutorial for a long time, and I am delighted to release it this week. This is a perfect project for beginners. It is also a perfect addition to any home.

The video tutorial for this project here:

Hand Crochet Super Chunky Blanket: the inspiration

I have just stated I had wanted to crochet and film a hand crocheted blanket. A hand crocheted blanket is beautiful and easy to make. It is also a really quick blanket to crochet. Using our hands (or fingers), this creates a lovely and super super chunky blanket. A few months ago, I bought four skeins of Lion Brand Yarn for Yarn Workshop Chunky Knit Yarn. This lovely and soft jumbo (size 7) yarn is perfect for blankets and pillows, as stated on the front of the packet.

This yarn is very soft, perfect for a hand crocheted project. It can be substituted with any jumbo yarn of your preference, and that is the best part of this crochet pattern.

Hand Crochet Super Chunky Blanket: hand crocheting is easy

Hand crocheting (also called finger crocheting) is really easy, and very relaxing. A full blanket or Afghan can be crocheted within hours. This blanket took me less than two hours to crochet. I made my blanket easily using two fingers, my index and thumb. After chaining a number of chains (indicated down below in the pattern section), row after of row of single crochets in the back loop only create this lovely chunky knit look stitch. I am in love with this blanket. I will be gifting it to my amazing little boy as he loves snuggling up in my crochet blankets.

If you follow my simple tutorial, you will be able to create this lovely blanket very quickly. It is perfect for beginners and expert crocheters alike. I love how it turned out! Let me know if you have ever hand or finger crocheted a blanket. I love it and think I may crochet many more.

I love the soft white color I chose too. It will make a great addition to my child’s nursery, I can’t wait to see it there. This blanket is soft and perfectly squishy, and I cannot wait to make another one.
