Chocolate Waffle Crochet Blanket

Bulky yarn crochet blanket patterns are the absolute best blankets to make. Crocheted blankets are fun and easy to make with Bulky and Chunky yarn because they work up really fast. Using Bulky yarn along with certain patterned crochet stitch makes the crochet blanket even more squishy and comfy. 

The Crochet Waffle stitch is one of my favorite crochet stitches for blankets. The Waffle Stitch gives a beautiful and rich texture and thickness to the blanket. Not only Blankets , but the Waffle stitch makes up pretty Pillow covers , Potholders, Dishcloths and tablemats. I had crocheted a Mug Cozy using this stitch. It came out awesome.

The pattern itself is very simple , making the Waffle stitch a popular choice for many projects. It's a repeat of two rows. The size of the blanket can be altered by changing the starting number of stitches according to your choice. This Waffle stitch blanket is perfect for snuggling up on the couch. I've used Brown Color Yarn for the blanket, so the name Chocolate Waffle Blanket. You can of course use any of your favorite yarn color.
