Bernat Blanket Yarn

I was looking for my next crochet project and wanted to make a soft chunky baby blanket with puffy looking clouds. I thought Bernat blanket yarn would be a great choice.

Bernat Blanket Yarn is a bulky gauge 6 chenille yarn so the chunky blanket will work up fast.

The blue multi-color yarn is great because you get lots colors without having to change colors.

I think the blue color would be great for a boy nursery.

This crochet baby blanket pattern would be great for a little girl too using the color pink dream yarn Bernat Blanket Yarn. Which I used to make this pink and white girl blanket.

There are lots of different colors of Bernat blanket chenille yarn, perfect for a little boy or girl. The colors are available in solids, ombers, multi-colored, and self-striping colors.

Most crochet patterns you can easily scale up for a throw too. The Bernat Blanket yarn is a chenille style, so it is fuzzy. My little girl keeps wanting to rub her face against the blanket.

  • Swaddling Blanket: 40 in x 40 in- for wrapping a newborn up tight usually made of gauze or flannel (101.6 cm) but a lightweight yarn would work
