Looking for an easy chunky crochet blanket pattern that works up quickly? This Evergreen Ombre Crochet Throw uses soft, super bulky Bernat Blanket Yarn and a simple repeating stitch pattern to make a cozy blanket without lots of color changes.
The ombre yarn does the color work for you, gradually changing from lighter to darker shades while you crochet. I used an interlocking block stitch made mostly with double crochet and half double crochet stitches. The stitch creates rows of raised blocks that add texture without making the blanket overly complicated.
This chunky throw is a great project if you're comfortable with basic crochet stitches and want to try something a little different. The super bulky chenille yarn and 9 mm hook also help the blanket grow quickly.
I love the green-blue ombre colors for a cozy winter throw, but you can make this pattern in any Bernat Blanket color you like.

Bernat Blanket Yarn for This Chunky Throw
I used Bernat Blanket Ombre in Ocean Teal Ombre for this crochet throw. Bernat Blanket is a #6 super bulky chenille yarn, so it creates a thick, soft blanket and works up much faster than a blanket made with worsted-weight yarn.
The ombre version is especially nice for this pattern because the yarn gradually changes color on its own. You get the look of a multicolored blanket without stopping to change yarn every few rows or weaving in lots of extra ends.
The thick chenille yarn also makes the interlocking block stitch stand out and gives the finished throw a soft, plush texture.

Why You'll Love This Ombre Crochet Blanket
This pattern combines several things I like in an easy crochet blanket: a simple repeating stitch, super bulky yarn and no frequent color changes. Once you get comfortable working into the stitches two rows below, the interlocking block pattern becomes repetitive and easy to follow.
It's also easy to adjust the blanket size. The starting chain is worked in a multiple of 4 + 1, so you can add or subtract groups of four chains to make a wider or narrower blanket. Continue repeating the stitch rows until your blanket reaches the length you want.

Evergreen Ombre Chunky Blanket FAQ
Is this chunky crochet blanket good for beginners?
I would call this an advanced-beginner pattern. You only need basic stitches such as half double crochet and double crochet, but the interlocking block stitch requires you to work into stitches from two rows below.
What yarn is used for the blanket?
I used Bernat Blanket Ombre, a #6 super bulky chenille yarn. The Ocean Teal Ombre color creates the changing shades without needing separate yarn colors.
Can I make the blanket larger?
Yes. Start with a chain that is a multiple of 4 + 1. Add groups of four chains for additional width and repeat the pattern rows until the blanket is your desired length.
Can I use regular Bernat Blanket Yarn instead of ombre yarn?
Yes. A solid or variegated #6 Bernat Blanket Yarn can be used if you prefer a different look. Check your gauge because different versions of the yarn can produce a slightly different finished size.
This soft chenille throw is great to cuddle up in on a cold winter night. The green blue color is a pretty ombre.
The double crochet stitches and super chunky Bernat Blanket Yarn make this crochet blanket project a quick and easy one.
