There’s something so comforting about a chunky knit blanket. The texture of those bulky yarns makes us want to curl up by a fire and wait out the winter with our hot chocolate.
Not only are chunky knit blankets perfect for warmth and home decor, but they have one other majorly lovable quality: Because the yarn is so bulky, you can stitch a sizable blanket over a weekend.
Whip up to one of these soft chunky knit blankets to keep cozy.

1. Chunky Checks Baby Blanket
If you can knit and purl, you can follow along with this pattern. A simple switch of the stitch creates the squares of the blanket, so there’s no sewing. Just weave in the ends and you’ll be all set!

2. Lazy Sunday Blanket
Fluffy one-color brioche gives this blanket extra softness and extra thickness. There are two edging options: a plain garter stitch or a fancier ruffle. There are instructions provided for knitting the blanket either in a chunky weight or a worsted weight. New to brioche? Check out Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark’s Brioche Knitting Made Easy class for step-by-step guidance through this cool technique.

10. Patchwork Knitting Cozy Blanket
Mmm, yummy! When I look at this cozy blanket, I immediately want to cozy up with it on the couch while I watch one of my favorite movies. This blanket involves a lot of seaming since each piece is a separate panel. The pattern is ideal for projects on the go because you can seam one small panel at a time, then sew them all together at home.
