Each week I receive requests for more ideas for Southwestern Style Afghans or Navajo Blanket patterns.

I’ve searched a few of my favorite free crochet pattern sources online to find a collection of patterns for this theme. I hope you find a Southwestern Style Crochet Blanket Pattern you like in this collection.

Navajo and Southwestern Style Blanket and Afghan Patterns square image

Most of these designs (35 of them!) are free crochet patterns but some premium patterns are also available. If the pattern is available for sale it will indicate (for sale) beside the title and I have listed them at the very end of the post.

Included in this crochet pattern collection are mosaic crochet afghans, southwest stripes and granny square designs, southwest ripple blankets and traditional Apache Tears stitch patterns too.

I have updated the post (2022) with new links for even more Southwest Blanket options and now included specific details, like the yarn weight and crochet hook sizes you will need to make the project, as well as, how large the finished afghan will measure.
