Simple Crochet Throw Blanket
Use this simple pattern for all your crochet blankets and throws! Make this afghan smaller and use it as a crochet baby blanket too! You can easily hand crochet this beautiful crochet throw blanket today!
THE YARN That’s perfect for this throw
Since it is so cold in PA at winter time I knew that when designing the Jane Throw Blanket I needed wanted to use Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick (WET&Q). I love using this yarn for most of my crochet blankets and throws!
NEUTRALS GO WITH EVERYTHING!
I went with the colorway Fossil because it is just simply gorgeous! This yarn has a pretty blend of neutrals and a hint of silver throughout making for a beautiful color. It really is the perfect colorway to use because it can easily fit in with most any decor. 🙂 Not to mention the bulky yarn creates a pretty cozy chunky crochet throw which is perfect for snuggling!
USES JUST A BASIC Crochet STITCH
To start the Jane Throw you will just need to know how to chain and single crochet! Yep! That’t it! If you are new to crocheting this would be the perfect project to try. This pattern is a combination of single crocheting and chaining 1 which is called the sand stitch. I created a post about the sand stitch for those who would like a tutorial and or even a refresher on this beauty of a stitch. “Click Here” to find the sand stitch tutorial.

Hi,
The Jane Throw looks like a perfect throw to make up in some of the Lion Brand Homespun that is in my stash. Looking forward to starting this project. Currently I am make the Ombre Wrap in a mystery shade of LionBrand Mandala (mill-end purchase w/o a label). Both finished projects will go to the Shawl Ministry at our church.
Morning
I am have trouble printing patterns
I don’t understand how to do the border edging. Can you post a video on how to do it, especially the corners??! Thanks!
I cannot find this Lion Brand yarn anywhere. Is there a comparable yarn to use?
Thank you.
Hi Kathy,
Depending on where you are from they have it at Walmart, Michaels, Joann Fabrics and online the Lion Brand Yarn Website http://shrsl.com/172l1
You are amazing!! I’m going to crochet some of your patterns and post them for you to see. Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks Bernadette!
I hope you share it with me in my FB group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/RescuedPawDesigns
Can’t wait to see! 🙂
I have started this and it is not looking as loose as yours. I am using a 9 mm hook, and been crocheting loosely. I even added 4 extra to my chain stitch so it would measure out right. Any suggestions?
Hi Molly,
I would suggest trying a 10mm hook if you have one to see if that helps. How is your gauge?
I am having the same experience as Molly, i’ve already used up a ball of yarn and the blanket is only 6.5 inches long. At this rate I am going to need at least another 2 balls of yarn. My tension looks to be about the same as yours.
Hi Karen,
What is your gauge? Gauge is 1 single crochet, ch 1, 1 single crochet for every 2″ (inches).

Do you do the border last?
Hi Debbie,
Yes, I worked up the border after I crocheted the blanket. 🙂 Happy Crocheting!
Krista
Do you have instructions for the border
Hi Elaine,
The instructions for the border are in the pattern. 🙂
Happy Crocheting!
Krista
I would like to try this in a chunky yarn which comes in 100g balls, do you know how many balls I will need? Thank you for any advice.
Do you have a suggestion on the number of chains to use for a baby blanket?
I’d like to know what you do at end of row. Do you turn or what do you do. Thanks
Hi Cindy,
Yes you turn after each row.
