This cozy crochet blanket has sizes ranging from baby to king sizes, which is perfect for everyone in the family snuggling up on the couch or adding some extra warmth to your bed. The rich burgundy plum color of this blanket adds a touch of elegance to your home. It is absolutely stunning and if burgundy does not fit in with your decor, you can customize the blanket with any color of yarn to complement your home decor.
What makes this blanket even better is that it's super easy to make! I designed it with simplicity in mind, so even if you're a beginner, you can tackle this project with confidence. I used super bulky yarn (weight 6), so you'll be amazed at how quickly it comes together.

Yarn
I used Bernat Blanket Yarn in Burgundy Plum Color. This is a super bulky yarn (weight 6). It is soft, warm, and cozy perfect for late fall and winter. You can also use it as home decor if you live in a warm area, to add style and character to your home. I love this yarn because of its softness, warmth, and coziness and also because of the numerous colors it comes in. You can always find a color to match your decor.
Other yarns you can substitute with if unable to find Bernat Blanket yarn are Loops and Threads Chenille Home Slim, Bernat Baby Blanket, Premier Yarns Prmeir Basix Chenille, and Big Twist Yarns Cuddle
