There are lots of different colors of chenille Bernat blanket yarn, perfect for anyone's décor.

Best Yarn for This Chunky Crochet Baby Blanket

I used Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn, a super bulky #6 chenille-style yarn. It creates a soft, thick blanket and works especially well for baby blankets because of its plush texture.

For this blanket, I combined peach, baby pink, and white. The peach yarn has pink and white mixed throughout it, which ties all three sections of the blanket together.

You could easily change the colors to match a nursery or baby shower theme. Try blue and gray, sage and cream, lavender and white, or a neutral combination of cream, tan, and white.

Because this pattern uses super bulky yarn, it also works up much faster than many traditional crochet baby blankets.

Crochet Stitches Used

The blanket combines three stitches to create alternating textured sections.

Single crochet creates a simple foundation and is used between the textured even berry stitch rows.

The even berry stitch creates the raised, bumpy texture you can see in the peach and white sections of the blanket.

The herringbone half double crochet creates the smoother pink sections and gives the blanket a nice contrast between textures.

If either stitch is new to you, practice a small swatch before starting the blanket.

How to Make the Crochet Blanket Larger or Smaller
You can easily adjust the width of this blanket by changing the starting chain.
Use an odd-numbered starting chain so the stitch pattern works correctly.
For a larger throw blanket, continue adding stitches until the starting chain reaches your desired width. Then repeat the stripe sequence until the blanket reaches the length you want.
Keep in mind that a larger blanket will require additional yarn.
