The Beach Glass Throw is a 100% cotton throw. It is a great blanket for those winter or summer months.

I love the texture and weight of a 100% crochet cotton throw. Growing up, my mom had a machine knit cotton blanket.  I loved that blanket and the memory of it has stuck with me all these years.  It is the texture, weight and feel of that blanket my mom had that I have tried to recreate in this design – and I love the result!

Crochet Cotton Throw

This blanket, although it is not overly large, has a great weight and cool, smooth feel to it.  A 100% cotton blanket has a great feel to it – one that cannot be replicated in a blanket made from another fibre.

The great thing about cotton is that it is hypoallergenic, it washes and dries well, it keeps its shape, is fairly robust and is relatively inexpensive and easy to come by.

The Materials:

For this project you can use any of your favourite worsted weight yarns, you will need about 2800 yards and I have used a 5.5 mm crochet hook.  The yarn I have selected is called “Robin’s Egg,” a Bernat Handicrafter cotton, and I selected it because it went so well with the Beach Glass colour of the Caron Cotton Cakes. 

To go along with my blanket I designed a pillow (see below) – the free crochet pattern and video tutorial for which you will find here: Beach Glass Pillow – A Free Crochet Pattern.

    Greetings! I would like to try this Beach Glass throw. You have required 3 balls of cotton yarn at 710yd each. Your comments before the list of materials states 2800 yds of worsted weight yarn. Is there a difference when you use cotton? I just to make sure I buy enough yarn. Thank-you for the beautiful pattern!

  2. Mia Wooldridge says:

    Greetings! I love your work! I was a bit confused. In the introduction to this beautiful throw, you say that we will need about 2800 yds of material. However, in your list of supplies you say that you need 3 balls of the Bernat jumbo cotton yarn which is totals to a little more than 2100 yards. I am excited to get started, but I need the correct amount. Thank-you again for your creativity and helpfulness!

    1. RichTexturesCrochet says:

      Hi Mia! You will need 4 of the balls! It is a typo and I’ll correct it now! Thanks for catching it 🙂

  3. Mia P Wooldridge says:

    Thank you so much for responding! I will have to make the necessary adjustments! I have been so excited about this!!

  4. craftymimi3 says:

    Hello it’s MiaW again, I finally got started on the balnket/throw. I was not able to get the Bernat cotton yarn, so I purchased the Caron cotton Cakes. When I chained 140 stitches, the length was 36″. I know there is an edge, but I do not know what else I did wrong?? Could the two fabrics/yarns be that much different. It is still a beautiful project ( you can see I am relatively new at this!) In the future, if I wanted to make the project wider, what multiples should I have used?

    Thank-you again for your beautiful pattern. Keep creating! Your projects are beautiful, and your tutorials are AWESOME!

    1. RichTexturesCrochet says:

      The Caron Cotton Cakes will work up much smaller than the bernat cotton. As for the multiples, I will have to double check but I believe you will add or subtract multiple of 2 to the starting chain

      1. Mia P Wooldridge says:

        You are so awesome! Thank you for the quick reply. I will know for future blankets. I love the feel of the Caron cotton cakes, and I LOVE this pattern! Your tutorials are wonderful. Thank you for your care of the craft and patience with newbies like me!

      2. RichTexturesCrochet says:

        You’re very welcome! I love the feeling of the cotton cakes as well and they are not as stiff as the bernat handicrafter

        Thank you for replying so long ago. I have just been able to navigate to this site. You may see repeat message as I get more accustomed to this.

  5. The Single Crochet Cross Stitch……..Do you have to do it in the round? It’s a lovely stitch. I thought it would be hard but once you get the hang of it should be fairly easy.
