It’s perfect for the Fall and adds great dimension to your outfit. Let’s not forget that it also makes up really fast. Here is the full tutorial as well as a link to a step by step video tutorial. Great top!

  2. The instructions are in Russian, how do I translate?? I very much would like to crochet this net tunic, but can’t figure out how to get it in English….please help keep!! ????

  5. I know it’s been a long time since anyone has posted about this, but I was wondering if an English version was ever tracked down?

  7. I would love to have the printed version of this. My Granddaughter would love it.

  11. I am in the process of creating an english version. I have already made one so writing the pattern out wont be too bad. I only have the measurements for a small and medium, but i made alterations to make them fit better. If anyone is interested, please email me at [email protected]

  13. Hello, I sent you an email. In case you didn’t get it I would love to get the written version of this pattern!

Whip It Up Crochet Blanket – Free Pattern

This Free Whip It Up Crochet Blanket Pattern from Mary Maxim looks like pure comfort crochet. It is a free download for a crochet afghan, and Mary Maxim describes it as a beautifully textured blanket with a plush, soft texture designed to be worked up quickly.

The yarn choice is what really sets the tone here. This pattern uses Bernat Blanket Extra Thick, with 5 skeins and a U.S. U/50 (25 mm) crochet hook. That puts it firmly in the jumbo-yarn category, which usually means fast progress, chunky stitches, and that lovely instant-gratification feeling where the blanket actually starts looking like a blanket very quickly. Mary Maxim lists the yarn as weight 7 jumbo.

The finished size is also generous at 52 x 60 inches, so this is more than a tiny lap throw. It sounds like a proper snuggle-on-the-sofa blanket, and one that would make a nice gift as well. Mary Maxim specifically suggests it as a throw for home décor or as a thoughtful handmade present.

Skill-wise, this one looks very approachable. The page lists it as Beginner / Easy, and the stitch requirements are simple: chain, double crochet, repeat, single crochet, and slip knot. That makes it a good option for newer crocheters who want a chunky blanket project without too much fuss, or for more experienced crocheters who just want something relaxing and cozy on the hook.

I also think this is the kind of pattern that has strong appeal for anyone who likes fast, useful projects. Jumbo yarn blankets are not subtle, but that is part of their charm. They feel squishy, dramatic, and very giftable. Sometimes you want a delicate heirloom project, and sometimes you want a big soft blanket that feels like crocheting with a cloud. This one definitely leans toward the second category. That last part is my take based on the listed materials, size, and description.
