What is Hygge?

Hygge (pronounced “hoo-gah”) is a Danish concept that encompasses a feeling of coziness, comfort, and contentment. It is often associated with creating a warm atmosphere, enjoying the simple pleasures of life, and fostering a sense of well-being and togetherness. Hygge is about savoring the moment, whether it’s curling up with a good book, enjoying a hot cup of tea, spending time with loved ones, or simply appreciating the beauty of everyday life. It emphasizes relaxation, warmth, and the joy of small, meaningful experiences.

Make this Throw Any Size

Use multiples of 12 plus 3 for your starting chain to make this throw in any width. Then just crochet as many rows you desire for the length. However, I do have three suggested blanket sizes with the starting chains and the yardage to help you choose your size. You can find more details in the written pattern.

• Baby Blanket Size approximately 31 X 31 inches.
• Throw Blanket Size (shown) 36 inches Wide X 48 Inches Long.
• Larger Throw Blanket Size approximately 48 X 60 inches.

Yarn Used for This Crochet Blanket

Today, I used a yarn cake with different colors throughout. It takes just two yarn cakes to make this throw blanket. When I first saw this Mandala yarn, I just knew I had to make something with it. However, this crochet pattern would work well with other cozy yarns too. This pattern is perfect for solid color or multi-color yarns that color change on their own as you crochet along.

For the Blushing Lady Hygge Crochet Blanket Pattern, which uses two skeins of Lion Brand Mandala yarn (#3 weight), you can substitute with other lightweight (#3) yarns that have similar characteristics.

Here are a few yarn suggestions:

1. Bernat Baby Sport: This yarn is soft and lightweight, making it perfect for cozy blankets. It comes in a variety of colors and has a similar gauge to Lion Brand Mandala.
2. Red Heart Soft Baby Steps: This yarn is also lightweight and soft, ideal for creating a warm and comfortable blanket. It’s available in a range of pastel and vibrant colors.
3. Caron Simply Soft Light: Known for its softness and drape, this yarn is a great alternative. It’s lightweight and comes in many colors, providing options for creating a beautiful blanket.
4. Carol Simply Soft Medium Weight: It has a lovely sheen and a very soft texture, making it a great choice for a cozy and elegant blanket. Its excellent drape will complement the hygge aesthetic of the pattern. is a slightly heavier weight than Lion Brand Mandala, you might need fewer yards to complete the blanket.
5. Patons Beehive Baby Sport: This yarn is lightweight and has a nice drape, making it suitable for a cozy blanket. It’s available in a variety of colors, ensuring you can find the perfect shade for your project.
6. Premier Yarns Cotton Fair: A blend of cotton and acrylic, this yarn is lightweight and has a soft feel. It’s a great option for a blanket, providing both comfort and durability.

When choosing a substitute yarn, make sure to check the gauge to ensure your blanket will come out the correct size. You may need to adjust your hook size to achieve the same gauge as the original pattern.

Squishy Blanket from Medium Weight Yarn

Another blanket that uses a similar pattern is the Simple Squishy Crochet Bulky Throw Blanket. It uses the same front post double crochet and back post double crochet stitches. The stitches are worked in different places. It results in a fabric that’s incredibly textured and reversible.  It has the same look and texture on both sides.

Pattern Notes

Written in US Terms

This throw blanket is a reversible blanket.

As you are crocheting, you will notice the sides of the throw blanket are ever so slightly ruffly. I kind of like that element in this pattern.

The row of single crochet stitches provides a nice foundation row to work the clusters of double crochet stitches without leaving large gaps in the first row.

Turn at the end of each row.

The Chain 3 at the beginning of each row counts as a double crochet.

When working the BPDC and FPDC in each row, they will be worked around the post of the middle ST of the previous row 3 DC clusters.

Also, if the row below ended with a BPDC, you would work FPDC STs in the first cluster center stitch. Then the next stitch will be FPDC STs. The next two will be BPDC. The effect you are looking for is to keep the DC clusters pushing out in the same direction of the row below to create vertical lines.

The final row consists of single crochet stitches, so it mirrors the beginning of the throw.

When changing skeins of yarn, I change it on the end of a row.

Special Stitches Used

Double Crochet (DC)

Yarn over, insert the hook through both loops and pull up a loop. Next, yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook. Lastly, yarn over again and pull through the last two loops on the hook.

Back Post Double Crochet (BPDC)

The back post stitches appear to recede on the side of the crocheted fabric that is facing you. Note: Because a post stitch is shorter than a normal stitch, you make the turning chain with one chain stitch less than the normal turning chain requires.

Yarn over, insert the hook from back to front between the posts of the first and second double crochet of the row below. Then insert the hook from the front to the back front between the posts of the second and third stitches. (The hook should now be positioned horizontally in front of the double crochet that you are working around).

Yarn over, pull the yarn around the post of the stitch. There should now be 3 loops on the hook.

Now you’ll be working on the loops on the hook. Yarn over, pull the yarn through 2 loops on the hook. Lastly, yarn over again and pull through the last two loops on the hook.

Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC)

Front post stitches are raised crochet stitches on the surface of the fabric facing you. Note: Because a post stitch is shorter than a normal stitch, you make the turning chain with one chain stitch less than the normal turning chain requires.

Yarn over, insert the hook from front to back between the posts of the first and second double crochet of the row below. Then insert the hook from the back to the front between the posts of the second and third stitches. (The hook should now be positioned horizontally behind the double crochet that you are working around).

Yarn over, pull the yarn around the post of the stitch. There should now be 3 loops on the hook.

Now you’ll be working on the loops on the hook. Yarn over, pull the yarn through 2 loops on the hook. Lastly, yarn over again and pull through the last two loops on the hook.

HOW TO CROCHET THE FRONT POST DOUBLE CROCHET video tutorial

Begin

Work a foundation chain of 147 stitches.

Row 1

In the 2^nd CH from the hook work a SC and in each ST across. Turn

Row 2

CH 3 (Counts as DC). DC in the same ST. SK 1 ST work 3 DC in the next ST. [SK 2 STS, work 3 DC in the next ST]. Repeat across. When there are two stitches left, SK 1 ST, work 2 DC in the last ST. Turn

Row 3

CH 3 (Counts as DC). DC in the same ST. [SK to the middle ST of the previous row 3 DC cluster. Work 3 FPDC. SK to the next middle ST of the previous row 3 DC cluster work 3 FPDC. SK to the middle ST of the previous row 3 DC cluster. Work 3 BPDC. SK to the next middle ST of the previous row 3 DC cluster work 3 BPDC]. Repeat between [ ] across. End with 2 DC in the SP between the first two DC STs. Turn

Note: When working the BPDC and FPDC in each row, they will be worked in the middle ST of the previous row 3 DC clusters. Also, if the row below ended with a BPDC, you would work FPDC STs in the first cluster center stitch. Then the next stitch will be FPDC STs. The next two STs will be BPDC. The effect you are looking for is to keep the DC clusters pushing out in the same direction of the row below to create vertical lines.

Rows 4 through 106

Repeat row 3.

Row 107

CH 1, SC in the first ST and in each ST across.

Finishing

After you work the last SC ST, cut off the yarn leaving about a 12-inch long tail. Pull the yarn tail through the last loop on the hook.

Thread the yarn needle with the yarn tails and weave them through the crochet stitches back and forth until the yarn feels secure. Snip off the excess yarn.
