Blush Glam Chunky Deken (Haken)

I was a little nervous about crocheting chunky yarn, but the pattern’s basketweave instructions were so clear that I finished the whole throw in two weekends. The #5 yarn really makes the plush texture pop, and the blush color looks even softer in person.

The basketweave stitch gives it such a rich, textured look that feels way more expensive than it should. I’m usually a slow crocheter, but this worked up faster than any blanket I’ve made before.

The chunky #5 yarn makes this basketweave pattern look way more expensive than it is, and the plush texture is perfect for curling up on the couch. I've already started a second one as a gift because it works up so fast.
