Why on earth would you care about my opinion on which blanket patterns are the best? Let me briefly explain:
People have developed artificial intelligence (AI) that can auto-generate text quickly and without much effort. AI technologies are now generating texts of every kind, including crochet blanket patterns.
Do the blanket patterns work as intended?
In my experience with them so far, they do not. So, beware. You want to avoid wasting your precious time, yarn and money on patterns that do not work out.
Methodology: On this page, I’m presenting to you a selection of patterns that either I, personally designed, or that I curated from my library of trusted crochet blanket patterns.
I’ve been crocheting (and collecting crochet patterns) since childhood. I also managed the USA’s most popular crochet site for five years. My job title at the time was “Crochet Expert.” I’m a humble person, and I was honestly a little uncomfortable with that title at the time. But, during that time period, I crocheted and learned more about crochet every day, which did boost my expertise in the topic significantly.
Beyond that, I hold a degree in textile design. Furthermore, I worked in the textile industry for about a decade.
So, on the topic of crochet, I’m more than just a casual hobbyist. As a crochet pattern designer and curator, I do offer you genuine expertise.
Real, trusted human authors designed all the crochet blanket patterns I’m recommending to you on this page. I hope you’ll take advantage of this resource I’ve created for you.

Why Crochet Blankets?
Blankets are some of the best-beloved knitting and crochet projects. There are many reasons that blankets are so popular:
- They lie flat, which means you typically don’t have to invest a lot of brainpower in shaping them.
- They don’t have to fit anybody, which means that they are reasonably stress-free projects, especially as compared to garments like sweaters, jackets, skirts and dresses.
- They’re useful. You can decorate with them, keep warm with them, give them as gifts…
- It’s lovely to have extra blankets on hand. You can put some in the guest bedroom in case your visitors get chilly. Put others in the family room for family members to snuggle under while hanging out. Of course, keep some in the bedrooms too.
- Blankets can be made to match any color scheme, any theme, any design style or any décor.
- You get to make the design choices. Make your blankets stylish, trendy, traditional, country-style, urban-friendly, southwestern, retro, contemporary, romantic, cutesie, mod, outdoorsy, festive, cheerful, colorful, punk, steampunk, or any other style you love. Sometimes you can even combine styles; for example, it’s possible to make a blanket in the country romantic style.
- You can make blankets in every imaginable fiber you might want: cotton blankets are popular for warm-weather use, and wool blankets are in demand for cold-weather use, but you can also make acrylic blankets, alpaca blankets, novelty blankets and more.
- Zillions of different blanket patterns are available. (We only show you a small fraction of them on our site, although we are adding more patterns all the time.)
So there you have it: That’s the list of crochet blanket patterns we offer. I hope you found some fantastic blanket patterns to add to your pattern stash!
