Halloween Blanket Crochet Pattern Overview

This blanket is so simple to make but definitely packs a punch! It’s spooky, fun, and so cute!

The base of the blanket uses the griddle stitch with worsted weight yarn and a 6.00 mm hook. I got all of my yarn from Michael’s – Loops & Threads and Big Twist. I did use two different brands but you can use all of one brand if you’d prefer. They are both worsted weight, acrylic yarns.

For the faces on the blanket, I crocheted them separately then attached them once the blanket was complete. I used hot glue but I definitely recommend either a fabric glue or to sew them on with yarn. Sewing them on can be achieved with this tutorial I have – it allows you to have a clean backing without having to cover the back of the blanket up.

That’s it! The base of the blanket took the longest but it is a mindless stitch of alternating single and double crochets along with simple color changes in between to make the four different colored squares.

Small amount of worsted weight yarn in yellow and pink

6.00mm/J crochet hook

Pattern Notes

The blanket will be made by changing colors within the row so it is all made in one piece. I have a video tutorial on how to do this from another blanket I’ve made: https://youtu.be/e4dnNnE_cOU?si=ZDc1ghh91StetUqa

Embellishments for the faces of the blanket were glued on. You can chose to sew these on as well for it to be more secure.

For a clean backing, follow this tutorial for sewing: https://youtu.be/CRpGMPp0ALc?si=vYoIeIE1TdOWnuVU
