We Love Wearing Blankets

The COMFY is terrific. However, it’s obviously not the first wearable blanket. Seeing it, you’re immediately reminded of the Snuggie. And there have been other similar designs over time. We love the COMFY because it fits like a hoodie but feels like a blanket. Regardless, it’s just another example of a human truth: most of us love wearing blankets! What’s better than cozying up with a blanket on top of you? Put one on that you can take with you when you walk to the kitchen to warm up your cocoa! It’s the perfect winter loungewear.

Crochet Blanket Hoodie Inspired By COMFY

The COMFY is its own patented thing, of course. However, like all great designs, it has inspired makers of all crafts to create their own similar styles. So, of course, the Bernat Lounge Around Crochet Blanket Hoodie isn’t the COMFY exactly. But if you love the COMFY and love to crochet, then you’ll also probably like this pattern.

Bernat Lounge Around Crochet Blanket Hoodie

This crochet blanket hoodie is a free Yarnspirations pattern. It’s designed using Bernat Blanket Twist yarn. This is a #6 Super Bulky yarn. It’s a chenille-style yarn that’s perfect for blankets and much more. And therefore, it’s ideal for a crochet blanket hoodie, too. It’s cozy, comfy, plush, and lush. Moreover, you can machine wash and dry this yarn, which means that you can throw your hoodie in the wash and have it ready to wear again in a couple of hours.

Additionally, since this is such a bulky yarn, it works up quickly, so you won’t have to wait long to wear it the first time once you start crocheting it! You crochet the hoodie in five separate pieces and seam them together. Add the hood after you’ve seamed the rest of the pieces and work it from the neck up. Though it requires some shaping, it’s an easy-level crochet pattern. Notice that you’ll add a pocket on the front to recreate that hoodie feeling – and have a place to keep your hands warm.

This pattern comes in two sizes. It’s essentially a one-size-fits-all design that’s been expanded upon to truly fit more people comfortably. The smaller size is perfect for XS-XL, while the larger size fits 2XL – 5 XL.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a blanket hoodie?

A blanket hoodie (also called a hoodie blanket or wearable blanket) is exactly what it sounds like… a blanket with a hood and sometimes sleeves so you can wear it like an oversized garment. It’s the ultimate cozy piece… you’re wrapped in a blanket that stays on when you walk around. The crochet version creates an incredibly soft, warm fabric that’s perfect for lounging, working from home, or movie marathons. It’s the sweater for people who love blankets… and really, who doesn’t?

How much yarn do I need for a crochet blanket hoodie?

A lot… this is a big project! A standard adult blanket hoodie uses roughly 3,000 to 5,000 yards depending on the yarn weight and body size. Bulky weight yarns use fewer yards but larger quantities by weight. Worsted weight takes more yards but is lighter overall. Check the pattern’s specific yarn requirements and buy a bit extra for safety… running out of yarn near the end of a blanket hoodie is tragic. This is not a stash-buster project… buy all your yarn at once from the same dye lot.

Is a blanket hoodie pattern beginner friendly?

Some simpler constructions are approachable for confident beginners! The most basic blanket hoodies are essentially large rectangles with a hood added at the top… if you can work large flat pieces and do a simple seam, you can manage those. More structured designs with sleeves, pockets, or shaping require more experience. The main challenge is the sheer size… you’re working on a HUGE project with many stitches per row, which requires patience and consistent tension over many hours of work. Not hard, just big!

What yarn is best for a crochet blanket hoodie?

Super soft and washable is the priority since this will be worn against skin and used constantly. Soft acrylic in bulky or super bulky weight is the most popular choice… it’s warm, machine washable, affordable, and comes in beautiful colors. Blanket yarn like Bernat Blanket is specifically designed for exactly this kind of cozy project. Avoid anything scratchy or stiff… you’re basically wearing this as a second skin. The softer and squishier the better. And choose a color you love because you’re going to be seeing a LOT of it!

Can I make a blanket hoodie as a gift?

It’s an incredible gift… but plan accordingly! A blanket hoodie takes significant time to make (expect 15 to 30+ hours for an adult size), uses a lot of yarn (budget $40-80+ for materials), and is quite personal in terms of size. To make it as a gift, you need accurate body measurements (or choose a generous oversized size that fits most adults). The recipient’s favorite color is important since they’ll be wearing it constantly. When someone receives a handmade blanket hoodie, they know the time and love that went into it. It’s genuinely one of the most memorable handmade gifts you can give.

Tips for Making Your Blanket Hoodie Even Cozier

Okay, BiCrafty Bestie, before you dive into this pattern, let me share a few things that’ll make your project even better. Since you’re working with such a lush, thick yarn, pay extra attention to your tension. Bernat Blanket Twist is forgiving, but keeping your stitches consistent means your seams will line up beautifully when you join those five pieces together.

Hoodie-Specific Hacks

• Secure that pocket placement: Use stitch markers to mark exactly where your front pocket goes before you start stitching it on. Trust me, you don’t want wonky pockets on something this cozy!
• Seaming matters here: Since Blanket Twist is so chunky, use a tapestry needle and match your yarn perfectly. A whip stitch or mattress stitch will give you the smoothest, most polished finish.
• Hood shaping: The pattern includes decreases to shape that hood. Don’t skip them! They’re what make this actually look like a hoodie and not just a blanket you threw over your head.
• Blocking is optional but helpful: A quick steam or wet blocking helps even out those bulky stitches and gives you crisp edges where pieces meet.
