How to crochet an easy, basic, beautifully textured corner to corner afghan. Worked in super chunky yarn, this cozy afghan works up fairly quickly. 12 sizes included!

I’ve used Bernat Blanket Yarn for my afghan because I love the durability for wear and tear and machine washing and drying, plus the wide range of colors, but you can use any super bulky #6 weight yarn from your stash - pick your favorite! And if you don’t have any super bulky weight, but have tons of worsted weight, try 3 or 4 strands held together to achieve the same thickness.

Colin Drew is an easy crochet line that features double crochet corner to corner boxes. This is a beginner friendly series, and this afghan is a great project to pair with watching your favorite TV show or movie. You don’t even have to count boxes if you don’t want to! You can use a soft tape measure to measure as you go, and stop at the width and length desired, though I will be providing box counts for each size in the written pattern.

Video tutorial included.

Material Notes:
My sample is the newborn size. The rest of the size yardages are estimated based on my sample.

When working with Bernat Blanket Yarn, I find the easiest way to weave in my ends is with a small crochet.

If gauge is essential to you or to measure as you go, you’ll want to have a soft tape measure handy.

Time Spent:
I worked the newborn size up in just over two and a half hours.

With the nature of this stitch pattern, the easiest way to measure is to do so in pattern.
