How to Create a Cozy Crochet Blanket Using Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn

You’ll Need:

Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn (Super Bulky- #6 weight);

Approx. 350 yards Color A – Vanilla 03008;
Approx. 260 yards Color B – Baby Rose 04417;

Crochet hook 8 mm.

Size and Gauge

Size: 89 x 66 cm.

Gauge: 3 Textured Stitch clusters and 6 rows = 10 cm.

Notes

The stitch pattern uses a multiple of 2 plus 3.

To work the blanket in worsted weight yarn, use a J-10 (6 mm) crochet hook and chain 109 to begin.

Instructions

Chain 75.

Textured Stitch:

Row 1: dc in 4th ch from hook. Skip next 2 ch. *(sc, 2 dc) in next ch, skip next 2 ch; repeat from * across, sc in last ch.

Row 2: ch 2, turn, 2 dc in 1st stitch. Skip next 2 sts, *(sc, 2 dc) in next ch, skip next 2 sts; repeat from * across. sc in top of the turning ch.

Repeat only Row 2 to desired length.

Color Striping (Optional):

Begin with Color A.

Crochet 3 rows following the Textured Stitch pattern.

Change to Color B on the last single crochet yarn over. (When starting the turning chain, the loop on the hook is Color B.)

Crochet 3 rows and change back to Color A.

Continue switching between colors until you reach the desired length. Finish after 3 rows of Color A.

Finishing

Weave in ends. Add a border if desired (sample shown without border).

Solid Pink made with 2 skeins (300g each) of Bernat Baby Blanket in Baby Rose, totaling 516 yards. Size: 35" w x 25" l.

Border (Optional)

Textured Stitch: sc, 2 dc in the same space, ch 1.

Begin at a corner without a yarn tail.

Start with a slip knot on your hook and work a Textured Stitch in the space along the top edge just before the corner.

Work another textured stitch in the same space. The second stitch takes us around the corner.

Now let’s move to the side border. You will notice two stitches along that edge: two chains and the side of your ending single crochet. You will work your border only in the single crochets and skip the chains.

Crochet textured stitches along the side to the next corner.

When you reach the corner, work the textured stitch two times in the last space to turn the corner.

Repeat these steps around the blanket. When you reach a yarn tail, hold it along the edge and enclose it in the border.

When you reach the beginning of your border, join with a slip stitch, cut yarn, and pull the tail through the loop.

Weave in tails.
