Crochet Blankets in King Cole Yummy – Pattern 4824

Pattern 4824 from King Cole is a downloadable PDF featuring crochet blankets worked in the brand's popular Yummy super chunky yarn. Designed at an intermediate difficulty level, this pattern offers cosy, substantial throws that work up quickly thanks to the generous weight of the yarn and a large crochet hook. The finished blankets measure approximately 92 cm in length, making them a practical and satisfying project for the home.

What Is Being Made

The pattern produces crochet blankets and throws in a single size. The designs are intended as home accessories — warm, textured blankets suitable for sofas, beds, or as generous lap throws. The use of King Cole Yummy super chunky yarn gives the finished pieces a plush, voluminous appearance with excellent drape and softness.

Designs Included

The PDF contains two distinct blanket designs, each worked in a different stitch pattern to create contrasting textures:

• Treble Stitch Blanket: A classic, straightforward design constructed using rows of treble crochet stitches. This produces a dense, even fabric with a clean, grid-like texture ideal for showcasing the chunky yarn.
• Shell Pattern Blanket: A more decorative design built around a repeating shell stitch pattern, which creates elegant fan-shaped clusters across the fabric. The shell pattern adds visual interest and a traditional crochet aesthetic to the finished throw.

Techniques Used

Both blankets are worked flat in rows, making them accessible to crocheters who are comfortable with the basics and ready to explore simple repeating stitch patterns. Key techniques referenced throughout the pattern include:

• Working foundation chains and chain spaces
• Treble crochet — the primary stitch used in the first blanket design
• Shell stitch construction — grouping multiple trebles into a single chain space to form decorative fan clusters
• Double crochet and slip stitch, used for joining and finishing
• Maintaining tension consistently throughout, with guidance on adjusting hook size if necessary
• Reading and following a stitch repeat pattern across rows

Stitches Used

• Treble (tr) — the foundational stitch for the first blanket and a component of the shell pattern
• Shell stitch — a cluster of trebles worked into the same stitch or chain space
• Double crochet (dc) — used in finishing and edging
• Slip stitch (ss) — used for joining and neat finishing
• Chain (ch) and chain space (ch sp) — structural elements throughout both designs

Tension

Achieving the correct tension is emphasised as essential in this pattern. Two tension guides are provided:

• 9 stitches to 10 cm over treble crochet using an 8.00 mm crochet hook
• 10 stitches and rows to 10 cm over shell pattern using an 8.00 mm crochet hook

The pattern advises switching to a finer hook if too few stitches are achieved per 10 cm, and a larger hook if too many stitches are achieved, ensuring the blanket reaches its intended dimensions.

Materials

• Yarn: King Cole Yummy — a super chunky weight yarn, known for its exceptionally soft, fluffy texture and bold stitch definition
• Hook: 8.00 mm crochet hook, or the size needed to achieve the stated tension
