How to Crochet a Squishy Blanket for Kids: Easy & Cozy Free Pattern

Step 3: Finishing Your Blanket

1. Final Row:
   • After your last repeat, work 1 sc in every stitch for the final row.
   • Cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail, and pull it through the last stitch to secure.
2. Weaving in Ends:
   • Use a large-eyed needle to weave in all loose yarn ends.
3. Blocking (Optional):
   • Gently shape your blanket by pinning it flat on a towel. Lightly steam if needed, but do not iron (chenille yarn can melt!).
4. Fluff Removal:
   • Roll a lint roller over the blanket to pick up any excess fuzz.

Top Tips for Success

✔ Carry Yarn Up the Side: To avoid weaving in too many ends, carry the main color (Yarn A) along the edge when switching colors.
✔ Go Slow with Chenille: This yarn is slippery—take your time to avoid split stitches.
✔ Make It Bigger: Want an adult-sized throw? Simply chain more stitches (in multiples of 2 + 1) and add extra yarn!
