One of my favourite things about super bulky blanket patterns is how instantly gratifying they are, and The 2-Day Throw Blanket might be the quickest, coziest one yet. I couldn’t believe how fast this one worked up and neither could my daughter.
She timed herself for fun and crocheted an entire ball of Bernat Perfect Phasing Yarn in about 40 minutes. Yes, really. Because the yarn glides so smoothly and the Suzette stitch is so rhythmic, the Small Throw literally came together in a single evening. If you’re looking for the fastest crochet blanket to make for gifts, markets, or last-minute decor, you’ve just found it.
But here’s the truth…
The yarn is the real star of the show. Bernat Perfect Phasing creates that flawless fade all on its own, giving this blanket its bold, modern ombré look with zero colour-changing effort. You simply crochet and let the yarn work its magic.

The Yarn That Makes the Magic
For this blanket, I used Bernat Perfect Phasing Yarn (CDN), a plush, super bulky polyester yarn with an incredible long gradient fade. The colour transitions are seamless, soft, and beautifully blended. Whether you choose bold jewel tones or soft neutrals, the yarn absolutely makes this blanket shine.
The 2 Day Throw Blanket
If you substitute, make sure to check gauge and order extra yarn to maintain a consistent fade. Super bulky yarns vary widely in thickness even when labelled the same weight.
