In all our years of knitting Super Easy Blankets, we’ve never picked up a hook and crocheted one. How remiss because it turns out that a simple single-crochet fabric creates one heck of a Super Easy Baby Blanket! It’s sturdy but not stiff, elegant but not precious, and in a combination of Purl Soho’s Worsted Twist and Worsted Twist Heather, it’s soft enough for even the tenderest of babies!
If you’re new to crochet, this blanket is a great opportunity to practice the most basic of crochet stitches, and if you’re an old pro, then you’ll whip this beauty up in no time! Either way, get started with Purl Soho’s Super Easy Blanket in Worsted Twist Bundle. Check out eight new gorgeous colorways and pick up a hook!

Update: New Colors!
January 2017
Over the years we have riffed on the Super Easy Blanket many times, and as we start the New Year, we’re revisiting three of our most classic versions, dressed up in all new colors. Knit or crocheted, in worsted or chunky weight… Read all about our 2017 color palette here!
Materials
- Purl Soho’s Super Easy Blanket in Worsted Twist Bundle. Each bundle includes 7 skeins of Purl Soho’s Worsted Twist, 100% merino. We used the Salt Water Taffy.
- Size I crochet hook
Gauge
15 single crochets = 4 inches
Size
Finished Dimensions: 27 3/4 wide x 38 1/2 inches long
Pattern
If You Are a Beginner Crocheter…
With the first color in your color sequence, chain 105.
Foundation Row: Starting with second chain from hook, make 1 single crochet into each chain. (104 stitches)
If You Are a More Experienced Crocheter…
With the first color in your color sequence, make a Foundation Single Crochet of 104 stitches. (If you haven’t tried this technique, it’s well worth learning! Check out our Foundation Single Crochet Tutorial right here.)
Everyone…
Row 1: Turn the work. Make 1 single crochet into each stitch. (104 stitches)
Repeat Row 1 until piece measures about 5 1/2 inches from the chain edge or until the skein nearly runs out. (Note that it takes about 6-7 yards of yarn to work one row.)
Join the next color in the sequence.
Repeat Row 1 until this stripe measures the same as the first stripe, making sure to end on the same side you finished the first skein. In other words, all of the tails (except perhaps, the beginning chain tail) will be along the same selvage. The first row of every color will be on the “right side” of the blanket, and you will end each color on the “wrong side”.
Continuing…
*Join the next color in the sequence.
Repeat Row 1 until this stripe measures the same as the others, ending with a wrong side row.
Repeat from * working through the entire sequence of seven skeins.
Pull the end of the final skein through the remaining stitch and weave in any ends you didn’t already crochet over. All done!

Simple and gorgeous! Thank you for inspiration!
Such beautiful colors!
These color combinations are beautiful. Is there enough yarn in the kit to work these in Tunisian crochet? What hook size would you recommend? Thanks
Hi Pat,
I’m not sure to be honest with you, although I can say for certain that it would depend on the stitch pattern you use. If you’re talking about basic Tunisian Simple Stitch, after some research, I’m pretty swayed by the argument that because you work Tunisian crochet on a hook 2 or 3 times bigger than normal crochet, you use less yarn, not more. So my guess is that you’d have enough yarn with the kit, but I’m afraid it’s just a guess!
I’m sorry I don’t have a more definitive answer for you. Please let us know how it goes!

Is this blanket machine washable? I want to make it for a very new baby, but I want it to last the hassles of being a new parent!
Hi Jill-
This blanket is only hand-washable only. If you’d like to make it machine washable Anzula’s For Better or Worsted would be a good alternative:

Thank you!
Molly
Could you make recommendations for colors to resemble the salt water taffy colorway in the washable worsted substitute you recommend?
Hi Chelsea!
You might try: Seaside, Au Natural, Taffy, Raspberry, Temperance, Daffodil, Ducky.
Happy Knitting!
Thomas
Your pattern neglects to add a chain 1 turning chain at either the end or beginning of each row. Without this, the edges will be compressed and the center will bulge.
You might want to edit.
Hi Barbara,
There are two schools of thought on this, and actually, upon the advice of another reader, we generally go with the one that does not include a turning chain for single crochet fabric. We find that it is much simpler, and we have not experienced compressed edges or bulging centers. However, for every stitch besides single crochet, we do include a turning chain.
Experienced crocheters, of course, should do what feels comfortable for them! Thank you so much for your thoughts. It’s great for beginners to know there’s an option!
Whitney
Thanks so much for bringing the Purl Bee touch to crochet! I made two of these blankets for Christmas gifts and loved making them. So quick, colorful and satisfying. Hope to see more crochet projects in 2015!
Avid…and I do mean AVID crocheter (20 years and still going) here….Thank you for putting this as a crochet project….I love the simplicity…not one for the crazy patterns you see all over the place. This would also be nice in a waffle stitch…especially with these colors and beautiful yarn! Cannot wait to see more! <3 !
Hi!
I’m in love with the colors, and I want to make a baby blanket.
I wonder if a crochet ripple/chevron stitch would look great too – do you have any suggestions? Also I would like to know where your merino wool comes from.
Greetings from Norway 🙂
Hi Sigrun-
We don’t have a ripple or chevron crochet pattern however we do have a knit Chevron blanket that you can see here: https://www.purlsoho.com/create/2012/11/30/chevron-baby-blanket-in-super-soft-merino/
Our Merino comes from Peru!
Thanks for getting in touch!
Molly
Hi,
I love this beautiful blanket and would love to attempt something similar in super soft merino – dying to use those colours!
I’m new to crochet, would I need a similar quantity of yarn?
Hello Leanne!
Would you like to make a blanket of a similar size in the Super Soft Merino? If so, you will definitely need more yarn. Crochet tends to take up much more yardage than knitting and the yardage of the Super Soft Merino is much less than the Worsted Twist. I would recommend making a little sample so that you can measure how many stitches per inch you can yield when crocheting the SSM. Once you have that number (I’m guessing it will be about 1.5-2 stitches per inch) you can multiply by the width of your desired size. I would also recommend 2 skeins of each color so you’re able to create 5″ wide stripes.
Best of luck!
Alyson
Hi, I’m new to crocheting. I already am getting comfortable doing foundation chaining and I think I understand sc and dc. I tried doing row 1 and 2. The chain seemed to get smaller because I was doing sc in every third stitch from the hook as I was going along. Was that correct or is it only third stitch from the hook at the turning then every stitch (under both loops or back loop only)or is it every third stitch under both loop is made into sc? I referred to a sc tutorial here that indicated after row 1 the sc should be done under both loops. It looked wavy and smaller. I counted and recounted to be sure it was 105. I used worsted weight 4 Red Heart yarn.
Hello Rachel,
We’re so happy you’re getting into the world of crochet! There are no increases or decreases in this project, so the stitch count should never change. The only times you should be skipping stitches directly close to the hook are if you are starting with the Foundation Single Crochet row or if you are turning the work and chaining an extra stitch to create a neater edging. Otherwise, you should sc in each stitch along the row.
While doing a sc, you should always enter the stitch by putting the hook under both loops of the stitch. Hope this is clear! If you would like to send us a photo or have any other questions, never hesitate to write to us at purlbee@purlsoho.com. Happy stitching!
Alyson
Thanks! I will try again and see if this attempt turns out better, I hope!
I made a blanket for my granddaughter with this beautiful wool…the result….magnificent. The wool is so soft. Now I would like to make a blanket for our king size bed . I would like to know how many skeins of wool I would need to create this blanket…..When you have a moment, could you calculate…thank you so much…..you have inspired me to create many projects from your site….thank you…Jane Frein
Hi Jane,
Thank you for your kind comment! In order to make this blanket in a king size it will take approximately 60 skeins of the Worsted Twist (9,840 yards). This is for a standard king size quilt which is about 108″ by 90″.
Please feel free to write back if you have anymore questions!
Happy Crocheting!
Jake
Love the Cardinal colors but it looks like you are out of those, can you recommend similar colors in the Anzula’s for better or worsted?
Thank you!
Hello Leah,
Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately the palette of Anzula yarns we carry is fairly different from our Worsted Twist yarn. I have put together a red-gray colorway that would be very nice although different from the Cardinal colors. You can view the color selection on our website here; https://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/7913-Anzula-For-Better-or-Worsted
Here is the colorway I came up with:
Madam
Candied Apple
Persimmon
Mauve
Seaside
Gravity
Au Natural
I also checked the website and it does look like we have all the colors except the Red Cayenne from the Cardinal colorway in the Worsted twist on our website. If you’d like to replace that last color with either Mixed Berry or Paprika red that could be another really nice option! Here’s a link to the Worsted Twist solid colors and the heathered colors which it uses as well.

Happy Knitting!

Thank you for this pattern, I’m just starting out learning crochet & making a baby sized blanket for a friend.
I’m wondering about the number of chains to start and how much wool I would need to make a king single sized blanket for my son, I figure by the time I finish it he will be moving into a big bed!!
Thanks in advance
Hi Larissa,
Thank you for commenting! Most king sized blankets are about 92″ by 110″ so at the gauge of 15 crochet’s per 4 inches you will start with a chain of 345 crochets formula: (92″/4″) x 15 crochet’s = 345. This blanket will be about 3.25 times larger than the baby blanket which takes 7 skeins so you will need roughly 23 skeins to make it this size!
I hope this is clear so you can get started and please don’t hesitate to write back if you have anymore questions!
Happy Crocheting!
Jake
Thank you Jake!!
Here we have a size which is King Single, the same as Double – 55 in × 75 inches, sorry I should have been clearer but if you don’t mind sharing these calculations that would be awesome.
Thank you again 🙂
Larissa
Hi Larissa,
Thanks for responding! For this size I am going to make it 56″ just for simplifications sake, so you will cast on 210 stitches; (56″/4″ x 15 crochets = 210)
I also just realized that I had underestimated the amount of yarn needed for the King size in my previous comment but that calculation actually applies to this size! I would recommend getting 28 skeins of yarn just to be safe!
I hope this helps!
Happy Knitting!
Jake
I love the look of this blanket. I was wondering if the dimensions would be different if I knit this instead of crochet. I was hoping for a lap size. Would it be best to order two kits to get the size I want?
Hi Kate-
Yes, it would be very different if you knit it. Instead I would recommend following our knit version of this pattern using the colors you like (1 skein of each color.) Here’s that pattern: https://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/9247-Purl-Soho-Yarn-for-Super-Easy-Blanket-in-Worsted-Twist-
Thanks for getting in touch!
Molly
I love this blanket and thanks for making such a simple pattern! If I wanted to make a larger crocheted version what multiple would I need to use to figure out the base chain?
Hello Ashley,
How large would you like to make the blanket? Since the gauge of this pattern is 3.75 stitches per inch, multiply the number of inches of the ideal length of the blanket by 3.75 to determine the number of beginning chain stitches. Enjoy! -Alyson
Could you please tell me what the finished size would be for a crochet version of this blanket if I used 2 kits? Also, what would the finished size be if I used 2 kits and was knitting the blanket? I would like to be able to have a finished blanket that is a throw size (or there about), and was hoping to crochet (for a change of pace) and know it uses so much more yarn, but I am not sure how much I should get for the project if I crochet or if I end up knitting? Thank you!
Hello Camille!
We could more easily figure this out if you knew about the size that you would like to make it. A throw can mean many things, but just to give you an example, let’s say you want to make the blanket 60″ by 60″. The pattern’s gauge is 3.75 single crochet’s per inch, so if you want to make it 60″ wide you should begin with a foundation chain of 225 (=60 x 3.75). This size blanket would need a little more than 2 total kits, since its larger than twice the size of the original blanket.
The best way to figure this out would be for you to make a small gauge swatch, measure that and weigh it so that you can figure out how much of the skein you used and then calculate the size accordingly. Once you make that swatch, get in touch with us and we can definitely help you calculate! Best of luck and thank you so much for writing in! -Alyson
Hi Ashley- Thank you so much for the reply. I was hoping to make the finished work approximately 50×60. I know knitting takes less yarn than crochet, so how large would a 2 kit knit throw be? If I crochet with 2 kits, would it be enough for a 50×60 throw? I do not have a way to weigh a test swatch, and my gauge as I crochet and knit is very precise to the gauge on the yarn (it always magically ends up just right). To make the single crochet cast on math simple, let’s say I will have a 48 inch wide blanket (so 48×3.75=180 stitches cast on). I cannot figure out how long the piece would end up being though- currently each color has 5.5 inches if crocheted with one kit, but if I am making it wider, I am not sure how much longer it would be since so much of the yarn would be used on the increased width… And if I knit with 2 kits and wanted approximately 50×60- I could cast on 138 but how many rows/inches would I get out of 2 kits for the length? Sorry if this is something I should be able to figure out- but I am totally unsure! Thanks again!
Hello Camille!
I wish that I could give you precise math for this equation as well! Even if your stitch gauge is the same as the patterns, row gauge can often differ as well. There is no full proof way to estimate the final size of the blanket without making a gauge swatch. How wide would you like each stripe to be in the end? The row gauge is 4 rows per inch, which means each stripe was 22 rows to create the 5.5″ stripe.
I would say for knitting you can definitely get a 50 x 60 garter stitch blanket out of 2 kits. Since Crochet is so much denser, I would hesitate to guarantee that! I hope this helps a bit! -Alyson
Hi again Ashley! I was thinking each colorway set of rows could be 30 rows (and I think that ends up at about 7 1/2 inches high each colorway). So the final throw would be 41×52.5, if I cast on 150 per row, 30 rows for each of 7 skeins? If I get the yarn, and crochet a test of 15 stitches across by 16 high, then hopefully I will end up with a swatch that is 4×4 inches- then I guess I could unravel it and measure how many inches of yarn it used and do the math that way? I feel like there must be some easy way and I am drowning in a drop of water!
Hello again Camille!
Unless your blanket’s dimensions are both multiples of 4, calculating it with the yardage of the gauge swatch will require math that is above my expertise! I suggest getting some yarn for the first color, make the size stripe that you want and then see how much yarn you’ll need for each of the rest of the stripes. I personally prefer to be certain about yardage by testing it out instead of messing around with these estimated calculations.
Hope this helps and best of luck! -Alyson
If I want to do only 5 or 6 of the 7 colors do I still need 7 skeins worth of yarn. I don’t know how to figure out how many yards I need total
Hello Katrina,
Yes! In order to make a blanket that is about the same size as the sample in the pattern, you will need a total of 7 skeins of Worsted twist, which totals to about 1,150 yards total. Hope this helps! Best of luck! -Alyson
Thank you so much for posting this pattern, I just finished making it for a friend – my colors were a little different but absolutely beautiful, I am making a blue version now to donate to the Ronald McDonald House – btw I shared your link on Facebook under the group “My Hobby is Crochet”
Hi there,
I love this pattern and I wanted to make it in a larger throw blanket size more like 54″ by 46″ in the MANOS DEL URUGUAY Maxima wool. I was wondering what size needle I would need, how many skeins, and how many stitches I need to chain?
Thank you!
Hello, Shelah!
Thank you for writing in! To make this blanket 54-inches X 46-inches using the Maxima, I recommend using a size G (4mm). With the first color in your color sequence you will make a Foundation Single Crochet of 208 stitches (this will get you a width of 54-inches) And you’ll need about 2 skeins per color for a total of 14 skeins. To get the length of about 46-inches, you’ll want each of your stripes to be about 6 1/2-inches.
If you have further questions, please let us know!
Best wishes,
Kumeko
This is my first large crochet project. I am a knitter and have made this blanket many times….great pattern! thank you! now i am starting to dabble a little with crocheting. So I thought this pattern would be a great place to start (using the sc stitch i did make many dish clothes). so i am pretty comfortable with sc. I did figure out the foundation stitch….which i was very happy with, now I’m wondering if you use that for the bind off? so that it will match the other end.
thank you
jackie
Hi Jackie,
Thanks for writing in! That’s so great you are exploring crochet. There is no bind off for crochet because there are no “live stitches”. When you get to the last bit of your last skein, just pull the yarn through the last stitch and it should lock it in. Weave your ends and then you’re good to go!
Best,
Adam
I would like to get the “rainboots” colorway for this project but don’t see it as an option when I am in add to cart. Can you help?
Thanks!
Hi Deborah,
Thanks for writing in! We do not currently have the Rainboots colorway in kit form but we do have all of the colors available for individual purchase.
They are as follows:
Worsted Twist Heather in Wheat Flour
Worsted Twist in Pale Stone (We no longer carry this color but Sea Salt would make a good substitution)
Worsted Twist in Artemisia Green
Worsted Twist in Oyster Gray
Worsted Twist in Heirloom White
Worsted Twist in Yellow Zest
Worsted Twist in Yellow Yellow
Worsted Twist can be purchased here: https://www.purlsoho.com/worsted-twist.html
Worsted Twist Heather can be purchased here: https://www.purlsoho.com/worsted-twist-heather.html
I hope that this helps and happy knitting!
Cassy
Really love the Morning Fog colorway, but didn’t see it as one of the kits and couldn’t find the Silver Lilac on its own. Is there a substitute that would be similar? Or, as my daughter loves purples and blues, is there a way to rework Morning Fog to include a little blue? Thanks for your help!
Hi Annie,
Thanks for your kind words. I suggest calling the store to see if they have also sold out of the Silver Lilac. I do remember seeing some recently, but sales do fly off the shelves. If your daughter loves purple, I would suggest Madeline Tosh Merino in color “Night Bloom”. This is such a beautiful purple!
Best of luck,
Adam
I really love this pattern it’s more modern for a baby blankie.
I have crocheted about 10 rows and the fabric still seems to be curling, I am crocheting loosely. Is there any way to avoid this or does the blanket need to be blocked when finished. Also silly question I am very new to crochet. It this is for a baby and obviously will be washed more often is it necessary to block they blanket after each wash?
Thank you! Lauren.
Hi Lauren!
Thanks for the lovely comment! I wouldn’t worry about the blanket curling as you crochet it because you can always steam or wet block it at the end. This should take care of any curling. Every time you wash the blanket you will have to lay it flat to dry, but you shouldn’t have to pin it flat. I hope this helps you out! Good luck on the project!
Best,
Adam
Hi there
I would love to make this a bit bigger for 4 year old rather than a baby. Are the 7 skeins fully used or could they be stretched further?
As always, really appreciate your advice, you’ve never let me down! Kate.
Hi Kate! The beauty of this blanket is that you are crocheting until the end of the skein! So if you’re interested in making it larger, you’ll need to use more yardage. Thanks for writing in and happy crafting!
Keith
I clicked on the link fornthe pdf version and It did open in Adobe but only inclides images ofnthe color palettes, but no pages to include the instructions foe the actual blanket. Please advise!

Hi, I have made the super easy crib blanket using your bundle – I believe the colour combination was called slipper and that the yarn was worsted twist. I was wondering if you still sold these bundles and if you had the blue combination – I can see the picture of a finished blanket in this combination on the website but it is not listed as one one of the bundles for sale. was the slipper combination also sold in super soft merino. I really love the blanket and would like to make more. Thanks
Hi Lori,
So glad you like the pattern! Unfortunately some bundles are not available anymore because we have discontinued some colors. Sorry about this! However, we still do have a wide selection of colors in Worsted Twist and Super Soft Merino.
Best,
Adam
Help! Can you tell me what I have done wrong and how to fix it? I think it’s because I wasn’t adding a chain at each end as I turned. How do I change colours. Sadly this isn’t your beautiful wool.
Thank you.
Hi Heather,
Thanks for writing us. Please let me know exactly what you think is wrong and I’d be glad to help you. In terms of changing colors you’ll just insert your hook into the next stitch of a new row, wrap your new color over the needle and continue crocheting in pattern. You’ll want to leave a long enough tail for your new color to weave it in at the end. Let me know how I can help!
-Adam
Hi,
Lovely pattern! Approximately how many hours did you work on this project?
Best wishes,
Leida
Hi Leida,
Thanks for writing in! This one is hard to say. Every crafter works at a different pace. For example, I am able to knit 1 skein of Worsted Twist in a few hours but it may take me twice as long to crochet it. There are those among us for whom the opposite is true! A quick survey of a few crocheters here and crocheting 1 skein is anywhere from 1-4 hours depending on speed. For this 7 skein project, that would translate to 7 to 28 hours. Your time frame may vary as well!
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
Hi! So, I’ve finished one skein of yarn in this pattern and my color block looks to be half as small as your pictures. Do you need a tight crochet for this blanket to make the yarn go further? Or what do you think I’m doing wrong?
Hi Angie,
Thanks for writing in! We are happy to help! Each color should produce a stripe that is roughly 5 1/2 inches high! The gauge that we are getting here is 15 single crochets = 4 inches. If your gauge is off, you can try going up or down a hook size to get on gauge for this project and then your stripes should be more in line with what we are getting here!
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
Thank you!
Could you please help me adapt the super easy crocheted baby blanket pattern to use the whole of good wool bundle? It’s for an older person, not a baby, so perhaps less of a rectangle would be okay. What length chain would you start with and what size hook would you recommend? Thanks so much!
Hi Julie,
Thanks for writing in! The Good Wool is a bit thinner than the Worsted Twist used in the Crocheted Super Easy Baby Blanket, so I would recommend doing a gauge swatch with a G hook. Once you determine how many stitches per inch are in your gauge swatch, you can multiply that by your desired blanket width to figure out how many chains to start with. Also, keep in mind that although the Good Wool bundle has more yardage than the Worsted Twist bundle, you may end up with a shorter blanket due to the difference in gauge. It might be a good idea to pick up an extra skein or two once it is back in stock.
I hope that helps!
Julianna
Thanks so much!
Hi,
Is this color bundle still available?

Hi Mary,
Thanks for writing in! This lovely bundle is no longer available as 3 of the colors used have been retired. We do have several other color bundle options available and you can always put together your own.

Hi there – From Australia – wanting to ask you if you think I could swap out the merino wool for the crocheted super easy baby blanket and use the lovely Lantern yarn. I haven’t crocheted for decades but a friend is going to help me. I just love the Lantern yarn!! Thanks in advance for your answer. Lisa
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for writing in and for the kind words – we’re so happy that you love Lantern as much as we do! Lantern would actually be an excellent substitution for the Crocheted Super Easy Baby Blanket – it even has the exact same yardage as Worsted Twist, so you can order 7 skeins, just as you would for the original pattern! I would suggest crocheting a gauge swatch before beginning and adjusting your hook size as necessary to obtain the correct gauge, but I don’t think you will have any problems creating a lovely blanket!
Best of luck and happy crocheting!
Julianna
Hey guys, that is so kind of you, thank you. I shall get my trusted expert friend to help and will make an order shortly. Kind regards
Lisa
I would like to make this blanket and order from your worsted bundles, but there is only the pink bluff color in stock. Will other color palettes be in stock soon or can you recommend colors that would be gender neutral to make a bundle? Thanks!
Hi Amanda,
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, the other bundles are out of stock because some of the included colors have been discontinued, so we will not be able to restock them. However, you can choose any seven colors from our current selection of Worsted Twist! For a gender neutral palette, I would suggest Heirloom White, Oatmeal Gray, Artemesia Green, Ash Gray, Tabby Gray, Stillwater Blue, and Gray Fig.
I hope that helps!
Julianna
Am I missing it? I cannot find anywhere where it says what size crochet hook to use for this. Thank you!
Hello Bonye,
Thank you for your question, we used a size I crochet hook.
-Marilla
Hi if I were to make this size in your super soft merino what size hooker would I need and how many would I need to chain. Thanks in advance
Hi Courtney,
Thanks for writing in! To adapt this pattern to Super Soft Merino, I would suggest crocheting a gauge swatch using a US L or M hook both to decide which size hook you prefer with the yarn and to count your stitches per inch. You can then multiply your stitches per inch by 27 3/4 inches and add 1 to determine how many chains to start with.
Best of luck and happy crocheting!
Julianna
