About This Herringbone Texture Crochet Blanket Pattern

This pattern creates a 44" x 56" herringbone texture crochet blanket using bulky ribbon yarn for an elevated, modern look. The stitch pattern alternates rows of double crochet and herringbone treble variations to create a subtle chevron-like texture. It includes full row-by-row instructions and a simple two-round edging to finish the blanket neatly.

The design is easy to follow and works up quickly with the recommended Caron Jumbo Twirl yarn. A charted reduced sample and stitch key are included to help you visualize the repeat.

Why You'll Love This Herringbone Texture Crochet Blanket Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it creates a rich, textured surface with surprisingly simple stitches. The herringbone texture looks intricate but is actually built from repeating rows that are easy to memorise. Using bulky ribbon yarn makes the blanket soft and drapey while working up faster than finer weight yarns. The reversible texture means whichever side you choose looks beautiful on display.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with color in this herringbone blanket; you can make stripes by changing colors every 4 or 8 rows for a custom look.

I sometimes substitute a bulky wool blend to make the blanket warmer and slightly denser for winter use.

I often adjust the finished size by adding more foundation chains in multiples of the stitch repeat to create a larger throw or a narrower lap blanket.

I like to add a contrasting color for the edging to frame the blanket and make the texture pop.

I also try using a variegated ribbon yarn for a subtle color shift that highlights the herringbone pattern without breaking the stitch flow.

I recommend testing different hook sizes to change drape—larger hooks make the blanket airier, while slightly smaller hooks make it firmer.

I sometimes work an extra round of single crochet before the reverse sc round for a thicker border that holds shape better.

I enjoy adding tassels or pom-poms to the corners for a playful finish that personalizes the blanket.

I also experiment with blocking the blanket lightly to open the texture and even out edges before finishing the edging rounds.

I encourage you to try these tweaks one at a time so you can see how each change affects the final look and feel of your blanket.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the chain-1 spaces in the foundation row leads to incorrect stitch placement; follow the 1st row instructions carefully and count stitches to ensure 119 sts before proceeding. ✗ Not working all tr and tr2tog in front of work will change the fabric texture significantly; make sure to insert and work these stitches in front of the work as noted in the pattern. ✗ Using a different hook size without checking gauge can result in a blanket that is the wrong size; make a gauge swatch of 11 sc and 12 rows = 4" and adjust hook size as needed. ✗ Failing to turn the work correctly at the end of each row can misalign the stitch pattern; always follow the Turn directions and ensure you are working the proper right side and wrong side rows. ✗ Not fastening off and weaving in ends securely at the edges can cause the edging to look messy; fasten off neatly and weave in tails before working the edging rounds.

Assembly Instructions

  • Join yarn for edging with a slip stitch in any corner of the blanket and work 3 sc in the same space to start the edging evenly.
  • Work single crochet evenly around the outer edges, placing 3 sc in each corner to maintain a neat square finish before joining with a slip stitch.
  • For the second edging round, work reverse single crochet (working from left to right instead of right to left) across each sc, join with slip stitch and fasten off securely.
  • Weave in all yarn ends using the Susan Bates yarn needle, hiding tails along the edging and inside the blanket surface for a tidy finish.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a gauge swatch to check 11 sc and 12 rows = 4" before starting to ensure correct final blanket size.
  • 💡Work all tr and tr2tog in front of the work (not around stitches) to achieve the proper herringbone texture.
  • 💡When working the second edging round, reverse your working direction and use reverse sc to create a clean finished edge.
  • 💡Fasten off and weave in ends before blocking or finishing the blanket to ensure the edging lays flat and neat.
