Free Crochet Throw Pattern Tutorial

Let’s learn how to crochet a small blanket (or cozy throw) for your home. Among all crochet blanket patterns, you’ll find this modern crochet throw pattern to be the easiest to understand and repeat.

Materials

4 skeins of Caron Cotton Cake Yarn in Silver Grey

crochet a smaller hook than is recommended for this yarn (F-3.75 mm crochet hook as I like my crochet posts to be neat and tight)

scissors

tapestry needle

Final Dimensions of crochet throw

The finished crochet throw measures 46″ x 64″ (without the fringe).

Abbreviations

ch – chain

tr – treble crochet

sk – skip

ch sp – chain space

Directions

Ch 239 +4 (represents 1st treble).

Row 1

1 tr into 5th ch from the hook; *sk one chain, 1 tr into next ch*. Repeat between ** until the end of the row ending with 1 tr into the last ch.

Row 2.

Ch 4. 1 tr into the first ch sp; ch1, *sk tr from the underlying row, 1tr into next ch sp.* Repeat between * * until the end of the row. Last tr into the top of the turning ch 4.

That’s it! As you can clearly see, the whole pattern is a repeat of treble crochet into chain spaces and chains while you skip underlying trebles from a previous row.

Row 3 and all the rows.

Repeat row 2 until you use almost all 4 skeins of yarn. I’ve decided to add fringe elements to my crochet throw. Before you finish the last row, add all the decorative fringe so you don’t run out of yarn before you finish the last row.

When you crochet throw is done, secure the last stitch, cut the access yarn leaving approximately 10-12 inches long tail and use a tapestry needle to weave in the ends.

Add Fringe to your Crochet Throw.

Adding fringe is a fun and easy way to add some texture and interesting finishing details to your project. Cut identical strips of yarn using a simple measuring tool and attach them to the edge of your throw with a simple knot.

For this project, I’ve attached a fringe to every other row. Each fringe consists of 3 strips of yarn measuring 8 inches folded in half. After you attach each fringe and secure the knot, align the yarn and trim the ends to make them even.

As you can see, the finished cotton crochet throw is quite big. It is a cozy item for your bedroom or living room decor. Enjoy it for warm summer nights or snuggle for hygge candlelight evenings under the stars.

You’ve learned how to crochet a blanket and added another great free crochet pattern to your library. You can repeat this pattern in a different color or pick up a different yarn (Caron Simply Soft) to make a quick gift for a friend.
