A chunky blanket with all the texture and none of the fuss.

The Briar Blanket is a cozy, squishy throw in super bulky yarn, written in 15 sizes from a tiny lovey all the way up to a king. The Briar Stitch is just slip stitches and half double crochets worked in the back loop, so it’s easy to learn, but the puffs stack in a staggered pattern that looks so much fancier than it is.

It’s worked flat in one piece, from one ribbed border to the other. The side borders build themselves as you go, so there’s nothing to add at the end.

✨ What makes it work

• 15 sizes. Lovey, Security, Small Cradle, Large Cradle, Stroller, Receiving, Lapghan, Toddler, Crib, Small Throw, Large Throw, Twin, Full, Queen, and King.
• Your numbers, right in the rows. Every count for your size is written into the instructions.
• Built-in ribbed border. The first and last few stitches of every row stay in back loop single crochet, so the edges form as you go.
• Easy stitch, big texture. Slip stitches and half double crochets in the back loop. That’s it.
• Chart, schematic, and size chart. Plus a step by step video for the Briar Stitch.
