Welcome to the delightful world of the Snuggle Season Blanket crochet pattern! Embrace the warmth and comfort of this beautifully textured blanket, designed to be your perfect companion for cozy nights or chilly mornings.

Crafted with the soft and lightweight Mellowspun DK yarn from Mary Maxim, this blanket is as luxurious as it is practical—offering that perfect squishy feel for endless snuggles. Whether you’re making a lovely baby blanket or a throw size for your living room, this pattern caters to both, ensuring you have the right size for your needs.

Featuring a contemporary colour block design with five modern colours, you have the freedom to select shades that complement your home decor or nursery perfectly. To enhance your crafting experience, this pattern includes a comprehensive video tutorial on YouTube, guiding you through the stitch pattern and the finishing touches on the blanket border.

You will Love Crocheting This Throw

The Snuggle Season Blanket is crocheted with a beautifully textured stitch that combines post stitches, half double crochet, and puff stitches. This engaging stitch pattern is perfect for those who enjoy intricate textures over simple designs. The result is a wonderfully cozy baby blanket or a stunning throw. I enjoyed crocheting it so much that I made two—one as a baby sample, which I gifted, and another as a throw. Best of all, Mary Maxim Mellowspun yarn is both washable and dryable, making it an excellent choice for easy care.

Best Yarn For A Crochet Throw Blanket

The best yarn for a crochet throw is definitely one that is super soft and washable. I’ve also noticed that some acrylic yarns can feel stiff at first, but after washing and drying, they become incredibly soft. Mary Maxim Mellowspun is one of my favorites for crochet blankets because it washes up so well. I made my granddaughter a waffle stitch blanket when she was a baby, and even after countless washes, it still looks as good as new!

Yarn Requirments

Five skeins of Mary Maxim Mellowspun DK yarn in various neutral shades are elegantly arranged on a white surface beside sprigs of white flowers, perfect for crafting a cozy crochet throw.

Construction

To construct the blanket, begin by creating a foundation chain that sets the desired width. Then, work the pattern rows. Once you’ve achieved the appropriate length, finish with a border in one of the five colours, using the front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc) stitch pattern in the round. For additional guidance, a step-by-step video tutorial covering both the stitch pattern and the border is available on our YouTube channel.
