Worsted Weight Crochet Blanket Patterns

Worsted weight crochet blanket patterns use medium (#4) yarn, the most widely available blanket yarn in a huge range of colors. Worsted blankets have clear stitch definition and moderate drape, suiting textured stitches, stripes, and colorwork. They take longer than chunky blankets but are lighter, cheaper per yard, and easier to wash.

Why is worsted the most popular yarn weight for blankets?

Worsted is the most popular blanket yarn because it balances speed and detail: stitches are large enough to progress steadily yet small enough to show textured patterns and colorwork clearly. It is also sold in the widest color ranges, which matters for stripes, temperature blankets, and granny squares.
