Cozy Comforts Blanket by Angela Plunkett
What Is Being Made
The Cozy Comforts Blanket is a crochet throw blanket designed by Angela Plunkett of Little Monkeys Design. This project is available in four finished sizes to suit different needs: Throw (52" x 60"), Twin (66" x 70"), Queen (73" x 78"), and King (88" x 88"). The blanket is crafted as a downloadable PDF pattern, making it accessible for crocheters who want to create a substantial, cozy home accessory.
Techniques and Construction
This intermediate-level crochet blanket employs fundamental crochet techniques combined with a specialty stitch to create visual interest and texture. The pattern uses a repeating stitch sequence that allows crafters to customize the blanket size by adjusting the number of beginning stitches in multiples of 14 plus 1. This scalability makes the pattern versatile for different bed sizes and personal preferences.
The construction relies on consistent gauge and row-by-row building to achieve the finished dimensions. The blanket's structure is designed to work up relatively quickly given the bulky yarn weight used, making it an achievable project for intermediate-level crafters who have mastered basic crochet fundamentals.
Stitches Used
- Chain stitch (ch) – Used to create the foundation and throughout the pattern
- Single crochet (sc) – A basic stitch incorporated into the pattern structure
- Double crochet (dc) – A primary stitch used extensively throughout the blanket
- Slip stitch (sl st) – Used for joining and finishing
- Double crochet 3 together (dc3tog) – A specialty decrease stitch that creates texture and shaping within the blanket design
The dc3tog stitch is worked by repeating a yarn over, inserting into the next stitch or space, pulling up a loop, and pulling through 2 loops three times, then completing the decrease by pulling through all 4 loops on the hook. This technique adds visual dimension to the blanket while maintaining structural integrity.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Cozy Comforts Blanket is designed to be worked in bulky weight yarn, specifically O-Wool Legacy. The yardage requirements vary by finished size:
- Throw size: 12 skeins (1,272 yards)
- Twin size: 18 skeins (1,908 yards)
- Queen size: 22 skeins (2,338 yards)
- King size: 30 skeins (3,180 yards)
The pattern is worked with a Size N (10.00mm) crochet hook, which is appropriately sized for bulky yarn and allows the stitches to work up quickly. The recommended gauge is 2 double crochet stitches per 1 inch horizontally, with 1 row measuring 1.27 inches vertically. The sample blanket shown in the pattern is worked in Bluebell, a color option available in the O-Wool Legacy yarn line.
Bulky weight yarn is an excellent choice for blanket projects because it creates substantial fabric quickly while providing warmth and coziness. O-Wool Legacy is a natural fiber option that offers durability and comfort for a finished blanket that will be used regularly.
