Berroco Hampton Crochet Throw Blanket Pattern by Donna Yacino

The Berroco Hampton is a stunning crochet blanket pattern designed by Donna Yacino as part of the Berroco Pima 100 Home Collection. This downloadable PDF pattern produces a generously sized throw measuring approximately 38 inches wide by 64 inches long, making it an ideal lap blanket, sofa throw, or decorative accent piece for the home. Rated as an intermediate skill level project, Hampton is a rewarding make for crocheters who are comfortable working beyond the basics and ready to explore elegant lace motif construction.

Design Overview

The Hampton throw is built around a repeating flower motif, each measuring 2 inches wide by 1¾ inches high. These individual motifs are joined together to create an overall lace fabric with a delicate, textural quality that is both visually striking and lightweight. The finished blanket has a refined, heirloom aesthetic that suits a range of interior styles, from coastal and cottage to modern and minimalist.

Techniques Used

• Lace crochet: The pattern uses lace construction techniques, producing an open, airy fabric through the strategic use of chain spaces, clusters, and decorative stitch arrangements that form the signature flower motifs.
• Worked flat: The blanket is crocheted flat, meaning it is worked in rows or joined motif-by-motif on a two-dimensional plane rather than in the round as a tube. This approach gives the crocheter clear control over shaping and dimensions.
• Motif-based construction: Individual flower motifs are the building blocks of the entire throw. This technique allows for manageable, portable work sessions and creates a rhythmic, meditative crocheting experience once the motif pattern is memorized.
• Color work with multiple colorways: The pattern calls for three distinct colors worked across the throw, requiring careful management of yarn ends and color changes to achieve the finished look.

Stitches and Skills Involved

As an intermediate lace crochet pattern, Hampton likely incorporates a combination of foundational and decorative crochet stitches typical of flower motif lace work. Crocheters should be comfortable with:

• Chain stitches used to create the open lace framework between motif elements
• Slip stitches for joining motifs and securing rounds
• Single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet as structural elements within each flower motif
• Cluster or petal formations that give the flower motif its characteristic shape
• Joining motifs as the work progresses, a key intermediate skill that keeps the fabric connected and even

Materials: Yarn

The pattern is designed specifically for Berroco Pima 100, a worsted weight yarn made from 100% Pima cotton, sold in 100-gram hanks. Pima cotton is prized for its exceptional softness, subtle sheen, and durability, making it an excellent choice for home textiles like throws and blankets. The pattern requires:

• 6 hanks of #8440 Basil (C1) — a rich, deep green
• 6 hanks of #8415 Chive (C2) — a complementary green tone
• 1 hank of #8414 Day Lily (C3) — a warm accent color used as a contrast detail

The two-tone green palette anchored by the Day Lily accent gives the Hampton throw a fresh, botanical character reminiscent of a lush garden, perfectly suited to its coastal-inspired name.

Materials: Hook

The pattern calls for a 3.50 mm (size E) crochet hook, or the size needed to achieve the specified gauge. Achieving gauge is particularly important in a motif-based pattern like this one, as each flower motif must measure consistently at 2 inches wide by 1¾ inches high to ensure the finished throw reaches its intended dimensions of 38 by 64 inches.
