I’m so happy to share this beginner-friendly pattern for my Fireside Throw crochet blanket. This chunky blanket is made using the griddle stitch, which means it has just the right amount of texture and is super easy to make.

Fireside Throw Sizing Notes
The Fireside blanket pattern includes two sizes: 36” x 48” (Lapghan Size) and 48” x 60” (Throw Size). What I love about this blanket is that you can easily make it as big or small as you want. Just be sure to chain an odd number of chains, then follow the crochet pattern until your blanket is the size you want.
Below I’ve included a blanket sizing guide to assist you in finding the right size for your blanket.
