Bulky and chunky weight yarns are so fun and squishy to crochet with. Not only do they work up quickly due to the thickness but they also create such wonderfully cozy projects. Sometimes it can be hard coming up with ideas for this type of yarn, especially if it isn’t one you use often. To share some inspiration, I’ve compiled a list of 40 crochet patterns that use bulky and chunky weight yarn. There’s something for everyone in this list from wearables to home decor! I hope you’ll take a peek at these designs and perhaps find something that pops out and jumps onto your project list.

Hello—
How can I find the “Braided Ends Cowl” pattern with Mandala yarn? I saw it on Pinterest and cannot find the pattern anywhere. I have looked and looked.
Hi Kay, I’m not sure which pattern that would be. It’s not one of mine but perhaps check Ravelry or Etsy?
