6. Chunky Basketweave Blanket

The basketweave stitch mimics the look of woven fabric and creates a thick textured surface. This pattern is perfect for chunky yarn because it emphasizes the raised stitches beautifully.

Although it looks complex, the basketweave stitch is made using simple front and back post double crochets. The result is a luxurious and cozy blanket that feels store bought but handmade.
