Cold Hands Warm Heart Chunky Blanket

chunky-throw1

When it comes to anything crocheted or knitted, chunky is better. The large loops, interwoven together, create a texture which just has to be touched. Chunky blankets are the ideal accompaniment for snuggling on a cold night, preferably with a wood fire!

To fulfil all your chunky blanket needs I’ve design the Cold Hands Warm Heart chunky blanket. It’s super chunky which makes it the perfect winter accessory. Made from merino wool yarn, it feels and looks soft and luscious. It looks that good that it’s hard to resist it when it’s draped over your sofa.

The great thing is that you can whip this throw up in a couple of hours – bring on the snuggling!

How to make it:

This pattern uses UK crochet terminology.

  1. Foundation Chain – Make a slip knot and then make 32 chains.
  2. Row 1 – Work a double crochet into the first chain from the hook, then form a chain (this is the first stitch of the row. Then work a treble into each stitch. At the end of the row you’ll have 32 stitches. Turn.
  3. Row 2 – Double crochet into each stitch 32 times.  Turn.
  4. Repeat rows 1 and 2 another 12 times so that at the end you have 26 rows.
  5. Fasten off and weave in the ends. Because this yarn is so big the best way of doing this is with your fingers.

Hi! I’m Lynda (she/her) and I’m the lady behind Homelea Lass.

I’m here to help you improve your crochet skills and to help you find peace and happiness in your creative time.

In 2012 I was knocked down by debilitating chronic fatigue that put an end to my blossoming career as a Civil Engineer and Project Manager.

Early on in my illness, I discovered that I could crochet without draining my energy, so I spent my days crocheting, researching yarns and designing – this is how Homelea Lass was born.

My experience with chronic illness has guided me to combine my passion for exceptional design and crochet. I’ve developed a way of crocheting that’s enjoyable, easy to understand, and maximises it’s relaxing and wellbeing properties.

As my healing journey has progressed, Homelea Lass has grown, and I feel blessed that I can share my love of Australian merino wool, chunky crochet and creativity with you.
