Many of us graduated from scarves to crochet throw patterns when we were first crocheting, but the beauty of the throw is that it can be easy or challenging depending on the pattern.
Crochet throws remain a favorite gift for many crocheters, too. They’re lovely for baby showers, housewarmings and any other occasion when you want to create a beautiful family heirloom that will be passed down from generation to generation.
Snuggle up in one of these warm, cozy crochet throw patterns.
We’ve got crochet throw patterns that can be customized to be you!

1. Wildflower Throw
Use basic lace skills to add a pretty little flower to some of the squares in this throw. A variegated yarn like the one pictured here works well, but feel free to try solid colors, too.

2. Throwback Throw
The zigzag ripple pattern gives just a bit of an update on vintage afghans. Complete the throwback element with an old-school color palette or update it with bold colors to give it a more modern spin.

4. Simply Mad Throw
The colors are the star of the show in this pattern. These colors were inspired by Mexican folk art, but adventurous crocheters might want to create their own inspiring palette.

5. Chrysanthemum Throw
Don’t fret over stitching all these little motifs together. The pattern uses the join-as-you-go method and includes an assembly diagram, so you won’t be too overwhelmed. Plus, the use of the motifs allows you to easily add or subtract to the size of the original throw.

6. Mega-Motif Throw
Tired of crocheting rectangles? Change it up a little with this hexagon-shaped throw. You can customize the size of the hexagon, too. Just keep following the increase pattern until you’ve reached the size you like.

7. Cherry Blossom Throw
This throw blanket features little clusters of cherry blossoms that give such an interesting texture. The main body of the throw is simple enough; you’ll quickly memorize the stitch pattern and be able to complete it while chatting at stitch group or listening to an audio book.

8. Infinity Squared Throw
Crafty’s own Shannon Mullett-Bowlsby, instructor for classes like Crochet Technique Toolkit and Quick & Easy Crochet Cables, designed a throw that’s so cool it can double as wall art. Inspired by the manipulation of geometric shapes and colors, this blanket can be stitched in any color you’d like.

11. Floral Hexagon Afghan Throw
Love the vintage feel? This afghan is made up of floral hexagons that are seamed together to create a blanket of whatever size you’d like. It’s also another great project for using up those small scraps of yarn you’ve been holding onto.
very disappointed... its easier to get patterns from Google search than on this website with premium membership.
I’m having the same issue as Gail. What’s the point of purchasing a premium membership if you can’t access the patterns? Jean
I would like to print one of the 12 free afghan patterns Under “12 of the Best Crochet Throw Blanket Patterns” by Ashley Little. When I click on the link “Get the Pattern” (under ANY of the 12), it simply takes me to your main page of classes. How do I get to the pattern I want? Thank you.
