Free Crochet Blanket Pattern Maker
The Crochet Blanket Designer is a free online tool for creating custom crochet blanket patterns in your browser. Choose a size, yarn weight, stitch style, and color palette — the tool generates a full Bernat-style pattern document with a visual chart and row-by-row written instructions you can follow while you crochet.
It supports five common blanket constructions: C2C (corner-to-corner), SC pixel art, granny pixel, filet crochet, and classic granny square motifs. Every pattern is free, there's no signup, and you can save drafts to your browser and return later.
How to use the Blanket Designer
- Pick a preset from the gallery above — tulip, rose, sunflower, solid baby blanket, granny throw, or start from scratch.
- Adjust the details: size preset (sample swatch, baby 30" × 36", throw 50" × 65", twin, or king), yarn weight (DK, worsted, bulky), border width and color, palette, and construction. The blanket preview updates instantly.
- Click "View Pattern" to open the Work View — a mobile-friendly follow-along screen with a row counter, yarn-remaining tracker, and an interactive chart. Print or save as PDF for offline use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What skill level do I need to crochet a blanket?
- Most blanket presets are beginner-friendly. If you can chain and work single crochet and double crochet, you can finish a C2C or pixel blanket. C2C takes about 10 minutes to learn from our free tutorial.
- Can I print or download the pattern?
- Yes — the Work View has a Print button that formats the pattern as a clean, printer-friendly document with the chart, yarn list, finished size, gauge, and every row of written instructions. You can save it as PDF from the print dialog.
- What yarn should I use?
- Worsted weight (yarn weight #4) is the most common choice. Red Heart Super Saver, Caron Simply Soft, and Bernat Super Value all work well and are widely available. The tool calculates the yardage you need based on your chosen yarn weight and blanket size.
- What sizes can I make?
- Five size presets are built in: sample swatch (16" × 16"), baby (30" × 36"), throw (50" × 65"), twin (66" × 90"), and king (108" × 100"). You can also enter custom dimensions — the tool recalculates the stitch counts automatically.
