This quick and easy crochet afghan is deceptively easy. Don't tell your friends how easy it is though. It will allow you to have your cake and eat it too!
The middle of the afghan has deep ridges and reminds me of a sand bar in the Great Lakes. Using Bernat Chunky Yarn and a Size N or 10 mm crochet hook, this will go quickly and you should be able to finish it in no time.
Don't be like me and get this yarn line confused with Bernat Softee Chunky Yarn. It's not the same yarn as the Bernat Chunky is provided in large balls. I have provided the yarn details in the Yarn Details button above.

I like this blanket would like to know if you need to use the yarn that is in the video also I would like to have the pattern to read but do not see it on your website

I added the blue pattern button, it should be easier to find now. you can use a different yarn, but keep in mind that different weight yarn will cause it to be different in size. meaning if you go with a smaller weight you may want to chain more in order to get a larger blanket. if you use a larger weight it will work up in a larger size. if its made in a larger weight and you want a different texture or colour, for example, its made in Bernat Blanket but you would rather a different type of yarn you can use 2 strands of Red Heart Super Saver together to get the same weight.

Hello, Mikey,
I would like to make this blanket into a Queen size with pattern measuring 90x95, could you suggest how many skeins I need to purchase?
Hannah says
I love this pattern!! So easy and beautiful texture! <3!!
But for the edging I was wondering if there was a typo in the 1st rnd. It says to work 73 sc evenly across the top edge and the 2 side edges. But it says to work 53 sc across he bottom edge. Is that 53 supposed to be 73 so the afghan is square?
Kelly Anderson says
Great tutorial! FYI at the end of the second row Mikey did 2 SC instead of slip stitch.
I have learned so much from all of Mikey's tutorials. You've empowered me to follow a dream of learning how to crochet. I will be eternally grateful to you and the whole Crochet Crowd crew.
Much love!
Kelly
