One thing every household needs? A good Waffle Stitch crochet blanket, that’s what! This new waffle blanket pattern makes for a squishy, comfortable throw you can cuddle up under to read a good book, spend time with the family, or watch an episode of your favorite show.

Waffle Blanket Crochet Pattern

Waffle Stitch Blanket Pattern

The waffle is one of my favorite crochet stitches for blankets. The way the waffle stitch pattern works up, it creates a thick, warm fabric – perfect for people that are always cold!

Materials:

Bulky/5 weight yarn (Premier Puzzle in Dominoes pictured)
-approx. 2500 yards (7.5 skeins)

Crochet hook in size 8mm

Gauge: 10 sts × 6 rows = 4″

Finished size: approximately 55″ × 65″

Notes:

The chain at beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.

Pattern written using US terms.

For this pattern we are using the Waffle Stitch.

It is the hook size paired with this stitch and bulky yarn that makes this blanket is SUPER squishy. Thankfully with this large hook it works up quickly as well!

Waffle Blanket Pattern:

Row 1: Fdc– 135. (Or ch-137, dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each chain to end.) (135)

Row 2: Ch-2, turn, dc in first stitch. * Fpdc around next st, dc in next 2 sts * repeat between * * 43 more times. Fhdc around next st, dc in last st. (135)

Row 3: Ch-2, turn, dc in the first 2 sts. * Fpdc around next 2 sts, dc in next st * repeat between * * 43 more times. Dc in last st. (135)

Rows 4-95: alternate rows 2 & 3

Row 96: repeat row 2

Do not fasten off.

Border:

Row 1: (Top of blanket) Ch-1, turn, sc in the first 2 sts. * Fpsc around next 2 sts, sc in next * repeat between * * 43 more times, 3 sc in last st. (Rotate clockwise) Sc down the side of blanket, placing 2 sts in the end of each row. (Rotate clockwise) 3 sc into 1st st, sc in next. * Fpsc around next 2 sts, sc in next * repeat between * * 43 more times. 3 sc in last st. (Rotate clockwise) Sc up the last side of blanket, placing 2 sts in the end of each row. 2 sc into same st as very 1st sc. Sl st to top of first sc.

Row 2: Ch-1, turn, sc around entire blanket placing 3 sc in each corner. Fasten off using Invisible Join.

You are finished! I think this would also be gorgeous in a solid color, maybe cream for a baby shower or wedding gift? I hope you love yours.

    Hi Ashley, I really love this Pattern!!! I am having a real hard trying to print it. I have the PDF in my computer, but I still can't get it printed. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I would love to make this for my son back in Tenn. Sherry

    Hi Jen, I want to crochet my grandson an Afghan and I really like the waffle stitch for it. But I want to make it in rows of other colors I.e.— black, red, gray, white with most likely a white border. How many rows should I do of each color before changing colors . I bought red heart 4 ply yarn. Will this be a nice blanket for him to take to college and keep him snuggly?

    Would this work with the cake yarns,I think its weight 4,but what would be a good crochet hook size? my next question,would doubling yarns work with the increased thickness for waffle stitch and maybe "q"or "n" hook,is a bigger hook better? TX so much,love your very simple, easy directions and beautiful site and blanket designs.

      Hi Jen! You can use the waffle stitch with pretty much any size yarn with the label suggested hook size. Hope this helps!

    This is the easiest, thickest, soft and sponge feeling blanket I've made in the 50 years I've been crocheting. Once you get it started you don't have to count....you can watch tv and put it down and pick it up without counting or having to use a marker . It's warm and cozy depending on the yarn you use. I love it.
