We like our blankets like we like our peanut butter — the chunkier, the better. Now that it’s the coziest time of year, all we want to do is spend our time curled up under a chunky knit blanket! Just add a warm fire and a cup of hot cocoa, and we’ll be here until further notice.

Safe to say a soft blanket is a year-round necessity. Whether you’re cuddling for cuffing season or just bundling up on your own, a go-to throw will get you through the cold weather. But blankets don’t just belong on your couch! You can keep these knits in your bedroom or office for extra insulation when temperatures drop.

How We Chose the Best Chunky Knit Blankets

When it comes to choosing the best blankets for your home, comfort is key! We made sure to scour the sites for the chunkiest, coziest, cutest blankets on the market. Oversized is optimal! Our goal was to find toasty throws that look and feel like your favorite sweater (just in time for sweater weather). Most of these blankets feature textured weave fabric, a breathable style that elevates any space.

Blankets can end up costing a pretty penny, so we tried to track down affordable options that won’t break the bank. Many of the items on this list are currently on sale — sold! And because everyone has different color preferences, we picked throws that come in a variety of shades to suit your fancy. These blankets also make perfect gifts for any occasion!

Winter is coming, so get ready with these 11 super snuggly blankets!
