Superman Blanket – Free Crochet Pattern


I finally finished my son’s blanket just in time for Christmas. He has always been so excited with his blanket and it was supposed to be a birthday present for him. His birthday was last December 3 and I run out of yarn so I have to order online and I have to wait. It’s my first time making a crochet project this big and I was so happy with the result. Working on the corner to corner crochet was really fun. At first I had trouble figuring the stitch but once you get the hang of it I bet you just don’t want to stop. If you want to make one just follow the written pattern and I also provided the graph below.

yarn needle

Abbreviations:

  2. Thank you so much for the pattern. I am having a problem with row 59 though. The squares listed only add up to 39

  3. Love the pattern! Thank you so much for sharing.
    Unfortunately I’m stuck on row #59. The squares listed only add up to 49 so there are 10 squares missing, I would love to finish the blanket and show off your pattern but I can’t lol, please help 😛

  4. Ok I guess I am reading this wrong could you possibly show me what the first and second blocks look like together

  5. So glad I found an easier pattern to follow and you used the yarn I am going to go buy! I do have a question, did you do a border and if not, how can I make this bigger? My oldest son is 48 inches tall and he wants something longer than what he currently has (an old blanket made by a friend when he was a baby, finally outgrowing it). Thank you so much!!!

  6. color change end of row 2 to color b (red) but all back round is blue – should all rows upto and including row 43 be blue

    • Yes Susan row 1 to 43 should be blue. I have made a mistake in writing up the pattern. Thank you for the correction. I have already updated the blog.

  7. can this be made bigger them 50″ x 50″? i have a friend that i like to make this for but hes almost 6’0

  8. Can this be made bigger then 50″ x 50″? i have a friend that i want to make this for but hes really tall

  9. Hi I’m new here. I’m getting confused with row 45. Do I count row 44’s last block as my first for row 45?

  10. Is there a baby blanket version of the Superman crochet C2C available? Do you have suggestions to modify this one?

  11. thanks for sharing this beautiful pattern. I volunteer with a charity that makes blankets for children with cancer and I have been looking for superheroe patterns. Yours is perfect.

  12. Hi I know many people have asked how to make this blanket bigger I was curious also the same thing there was no answer on any of them so I did this I did treble crochet instead of her double and added an extra stitch at the end of the row where you do chain si and also added another treble crochet into the stitches so it ended up being four treble crochets and chain four it turned out wonderful fits a king size bed

  13. Thank you for sharing this pattern…. I just finished mine and I’m happy with the results even tho I’m not a “pro” at changing colors. I enjoyed making it and the pattern was great and easy for me.
