How to crochet a bulky & quick merino throw. Read on for the free crochet pattern. If you’re like me, I get googly-eyed over big bulky merino throw blankets! You can check out a small throw I made a while back HERE using full-thickness Big Stitch Merino. I wanted to make something similar yet not as bulky and a little less expensive.
I love Sugar Bush Yarns Chill, and it’s an extra-thick texture made in 100% extra fine merino. To make this bulky & quick merino throw 66″ x 42″, you will need 16 balls of these little beauties. I tried some comparable yarns, but honestly, if you want this blanket to turn out this amazing, use the recommended yarn. If I don’t have what you want in stock, send me a message.

I worked out sizes in twin-king. This bulky & quick merino throw will hang only down over the end portion of your bed, so if you’d like it longer, keep working those rows until your desired length is reached. If you need to purchase more yarn, you will get approximately 170 sts/ball of chill.
