36 Bulky Crochet Blanket Patterns, a Round-up
Bulky crochet blanket pattern round-up
Looking for a bulky crochet blanket pattern? I’ve got you covered! I’ve gathered 36 crochet blanket patterns that use bulky, super bulky, and jumbo weight yarns!
Crocheting in thick yarn is so nice for a couple of reasons. First, it makes such cozy things! A thick, squishy blanket is so lovely when the weather turns cold! But also, when you crochet a blanket with thick yarn, it goes a lot faster! Thicker yarn uses bigger hooks, and together they make big stitches so you can finish a blanket in a LOT less time than you can with thinner yarn and smaller hooks.
