Today I’m sharing The Easiest Crochet Infinity Blanket You Will Ever Make — a free, beginner-friendly crochet pattern that grows endlessly, works in simple repeats, and can be made in any size from placemats to king-size blankets.

This pattern is:

  • Perfect for beginners

  • Calm and relaxing to work

  • Made entirely with double crochet clusters

  • Adjustable to any size

  • Beautiful with solid, mandala, or color-changing yarn

Whether you’re making your very first blanket or just want a peaceful project to work on in the evenings, this infinity blanket is one you’ll come back to again and again.

Why This Pattern Is Perfect for Beginners

One of the hardest parts of learning crochet is finding patterns that are:

  • Easy to follow

  • Forgiving if you make mistakes

  • Repetitive enough to build confidence

This blanket checks every single box.

You only need to know:

✔ How to make a foundation chain
✔ How to double crochet
✔ How to work a simple cluster (3 double crochet in the same space)

That’s it.

There are:

  • No complicated stitch patterns

  • No color changes required

  • No turning your work

  • No shaping headaches

Once you complete the first round, the rest of the blanket becomes a simple, relaxing repeat that you can work on while watching TV, listening to music, or unwinding after a long day.

If you’re still learning these basics, I recommend visiting these tutorials before starting:

These will make this pattern feel even easier and more enjoyable.


                  

What Is an “Infinity” Blanket?

This pattern is worked in continuous rounds around a foundation rectangle, which means:

  • Your blanket grows outward in all directions

  • It increases in both length and width at the same time

  • There is no seaming or joining panels

The more rounds you add, the bigger your blanket becomes — naturally and evenly.

With this single pattern, you can create:

  • Baby blankets

  • Throw blankets

  • Couch blankets

  • Bed blankets

  • Placemats

  • Table décor

All by simply continuing the same repeat.



Materials

This pattern is very flexible — you can use almost any yarn and hook size.
Here is what I personally used and recommend:

🧶 Yarn

This yarn works beautifully for this project, especially if you enjoy gentle color changes and mandala effects. Solid colors and variegated yarns also look stunning.

🪝 Hook

A slightly larger hook keeps the fabric soft, drapey, and comfortable for blankets.

I highly recommend referring to this diagram as you work your first round so you can clearly see how the pattern builds around the foundation chain.

The Easiest Crochet Infinity Blanket

Foundation

Ch 20

Round 1

In the 4th chain from the hook, work:

  • 2 dc (this begins your first cluster)

Then continue:

  • Sk 3 sts

  • 3 dc cluster

  • Sk 3

  • 3 dc cluster

  • Sk 3

  • 3 dc cluster in last st

Now work the corner:

  • Ch 2

  • 3 dc cluster in same st

  • Ch 2

  • 3 dc cluster in same st

You should now be working on the opposite side of the foundation chain.

Working directly above the original clusters:

  • Sk 3

  • 3 dc cluster

  • Sk 3

  • 3 dc cluster

  • Sk 3

  • 3 dc cluster

  • Sk 3

  • 3 dc cluster

Finish the round:

  • Ch 2

  • 3 dc cluster

  • Ch 2

  • Sl st to the top of the 3rd chain from the beginning

You now have a rectangle with four defined corners.

Round 2

  • Ch 3 (counts as dc)

Begin working 3 dc clusters in between each cluster from the previous round.

At each corner:

  • 3 dc cluster

  • Ch 2

  • 3 dc cluster in the same space

There are four corners total.

When you reach the end of the round:

  • Sl st to join

  • Ch 3 to begin the next round

Important Technique Note

This blanket is worked in continuous rounds, which means you do not turn your work.

When beginning each round:

  • Either leave the starting Ch 3 as part of the first cluster

  • Or finish the cluster when you reach it at the end

This method keeps your edges smooth and avoids constant turning.

I personally find this method much easier and more enjoyable, especially for long blanket projects.

Repeating the Pattern

From this point forward, simply repeat:

  • Clusters between each space

  • Corners worked the same every time

  • Sl st to join

  • Ch 3 to begin the next round

Repeat around and around until your blanket reaches your desired size.



How Big Should You Make It?

That’s the beauty of this pattern — there is no limit.

You can create:

  • 🍼 Baby blanket – 8–15 rounds

  • 🛋 Throw blanket – 20–35 rounds

  • 🛏 Bed blanket – 40+ rounds

  • 🍽 Placemats – 4–6 rounds

Keep in mind:

  • The larger the blanket, the more yarn you’ll need

  • Color-changing yarn creates stunning natural striping

  • Solid colors highlight the texture beautifully

Yarn & Color Ideas

This pattern looks incredible with:

  • Mandala yarn

  • Color-changing yarn

  • Ombre yarn

  • Solid neutrals

  • Gothic color palettes

  • Seasonal color combinations

Because the stitch pattern is simple, the yarn really becomes the star of the project.
