Crochet Blankets and Cushion Cover in Stylecraft Chenille Chunky – Pattern 10248

Pattern 10248 from Stylecraft is a downloadable PDF containing two crochet designs: a generously sized crochet blanket and a matching crochet cushion cover. Both pieces are worked in Stylecraft Chenille Chunky, a luxuriously soft, velvety yarn that gives finished projects a plush, tactile quality perfect for home décor. The pattern is rated intermediate in difficulty, making it a rewarding project for crocheters who are comfortable with basic stitches and are ready to explore multi-colour work and simple shaping.

About the Designs

The two designs in this pattern are coordinated to work beautifully together as a matching set, ideal for styling a sofa, armchair, or bed. Both pieces use a three-colour palette, and the pattern offers two ready-suggested colourways so you can choose the combination that best suits your interior.

Design 1: The Crochet Blanket

The blanket measures 100 x 150 cm (approximately 39½ x 59 inches) excluding edging, making it a substantial throw — large enough to drape over a sofa or use as a cosy lap blanket. The three-colour construction creates a striking, contemporary look that is both decorative and functional.

• Yarn required: Stylecraft Chenille Chunky in three colours — 3 x 100g balls of Colour A, 3 x 100g balls of Colour B, and 4 x 100g balls of Colour C
• First Colourway: A – Candy Pink (5615), B – Apple Green (5614), C – Lilac (5619)
• Second Colourway: A – Emerald Green (5610), B – Carrot Orange (5605), C – Apple Green (5614)
• An edging is included, adding a neat, polished finish to the completed blanket

Design 2: The Crochet Cushion Cover

The cushion cover is designed to fit a standard 46 x 46 cm (18 x 18 inch) cushion pad, making it a practical and stylish accessory. It uses the same yarn and colour scheme as the blanket, so the two pieces can be made as a coordinated set. Conveniently, if you are making the cushion cover alongside the blanket in the same colourway, leftover yarn from the blanket project may reduce the amount of additional yarn needed.

• Yarn required: Stylecraft Chenille Chunky — 2 x 100g balls each of Colours A, B, and C (or as little as 1 ball of a colour if making alongside the blanket)
• Colourway shown: A – Candy Pink (5615), B – Apple Green (5614), C – Lilac (5619)

Techniques and Stitches Used

Both designs are crocheted using a selection of classic and slightly more advanced crochet stitches. Working with chunky chenille yarn means stitches are large, clearly defined, and satisfying to work up quickly. The pattern makes use of the following stitches and techniques:

• Double crochet (dc) – a short, tight stitch used for structure and edging
• Treble crochet (tr) – a taller stitch that creates an open, drapey fabric ideal for blankets
• tr3tog (treble crochet 3 together) – a decrease technique where three treble stitches are worked together to form a cluster, adding texture and shaping
• Chain (ch) – used to create turning chains and form the foundation of the fabric
• Yarn over hook (yoh) – a fundamental crochet action used throughout
• Multi-colour work – switching between three colours (A, B, and C) to create the striped or blocked colour design
• Wrong side
