Crochet a King Size Modern Patchwork Crochet Throw blanket. Free crochet pattern and video tutorial.

Let’s talk about my inspiration for this corner to corner crochet blanket! I was working on my Rosy Posy dishcloth pattern and envisioned how gorgeous they would look seamed together in a large patchwork crochet throw blanket. As a result, I quickly began working up these gorgeous squares in fun, bright colors.
The overall look I was going for was a cozy patchwork quilt—a modern take on a classic style. I attempted a quilt once and never finished it. So I’m super happy I finally have one. It’s just crocheted instead of sewing with the material.
Table of Contents
It’s so easy to customize the size of your modern patchwork crochet throw. I wanted mine as a BIG throw and wide enough to cover the bottom of my king size bed. I went with 8 x 6 squares. Each Square with white border is 10.5″. The final border is 1″ in width. So my blanket is 86″ x 65″. If you want your blanket as a comforter, I made this handy chart for common comforter sizes. I then suggest how many squares you should make.
Crochet Blanket sizes and how much yarn
I created the chart above for crochet blanket sizes and how much yarn is needed. One ball of Brava Worsted will make 2 squares. To determine how much yarn you’ll need to make a comforter crochet blanket multiply the suggested number of squares and then divide by 2. Example: 6×8=48/2 = 24. You will need approximately 24 balls for a Twin size crochet comforter.
Yarn Review
The yarn I choose for the Modern Patchwork Crochet Throw is Brava Worsted from WeCrochet. I decided on this yarn for a few reasons. Firstly, the fantastic color range, secondly, Price only $2.49 per ball in US$. Buy it HERE, thirdly, durability and softness, lastly, washability.
How to Wash Crochet Blankets
You might also be wondering how to wash crochet blankets? This will vary depending on the yarn used. Make sure to read washing instructions on the yarn label. Brava worsted is a washable yarn. You can machine wash and tumble dry. Your crochet blanket will come out just like new. The important detail you should note is to make sure all your ends are weaved in well so that your blanket doesn’t come apart.
I’m really happy with Brava’s softness, and I find this yarn a dream to work with. The only negative is some of the colors vary in thickness. You may have to adjust hook size to get all your squares to match. Blocking will also help.
In order to get that perfect square, I decided to make this a corner-to-corner crochet blanket. It’s an easy C2C crochet pattern and works up quickly. I then did a simple crochet border in white.
The crochet joining method I used is so easy and quick. I know you’re going to love it! After all the hard work making these squares, you’ll be ready for a quick seaming method.
