Instructions to make the V Stitch (Double Crochet - US)
ch = chain
sc = single crochet (US) -------(NOTE: single crochet in United States means Double Crochet in UK)
dc = double crochet (US) ----- (NOTE: double crochet in United States means Treble Crochet in UK)
Foundation Chain - Crochet the foundation change to length needed for your project using foundation chain count that is a multiple of 2 and add 2 additional stitches.
Row 1: 2dc in 4th ch from the hook, skip 1 ch then *[2dc in the next ch, skip 1 ch], repeating * to the last ch, 1dc in the last ch, turn (NOTE: 2dc creates V stitch group)
Row 2: ch3 (counts as 1dc), skip first dc, 2dc into the center space between the 2dc within the V stitch group across the row below to end, 1dc in top of the turn chain, turn Then, repeat same pattern as row 2 throughout your work.
This Crochet Baby Blanket:
You will need approx. 850 yards of the Bernat Blanket Yarn. See the links above to purchase materials online through our Amazon affiliate links.
Foundation chain 68 chains plus 2 additional stitches = total foundation chain of 70 stitches.
This body of this blanket is 52 rows. See V Stitch instructions above as well as a link to related video tutorial.
Border:
At middle of top row, put slip knot into desired stitch and chain 1. Then, single crochet (US) into each stitch until you reach the final stitch on the row. Then, 3sc into the corner stitch. Along the sides of the blanket 2 sc into each double crochet space. Repeat all the way around and slip stitch to join.
Row 2: Chain 1, and single crochet into each stitch with 3 sc into each corner stitch all the way around and slip stitch to join. Repeat for number of desired border rounds, and fasten off to end. Sew in your yarn tail to hide the yarn tail.

Hi Nancy! I’m sitting here watching my brother Tyson crochet your baby blanket. It’s beautiful. Thank you!
I’m a 40+ year crocheter and I love your videos. When I instruct beginners on the art of crochet I find it best not to use this type of yarn. I find it difficult for beginners to find where their stitches are and it makes knowing where to put your hook challenging. I love doing simple patterns from time to time...I can watch a movie or chat with my son while crocheting. It’s very freeing for the mind. Thank you for this lovely pattern. I’m going to be making it for my first grandson who’s 4 months old. My daughter loves this yarn and she will love this along with my other crochet gifts. I actually have the yarn on hand so this will keep me busy today and tomorrow. ❤️
You are a gifted teacher! I love how you explain everything without being too short or longwinded!
Thank you for the compliments. Have a great day.
This is the second blanket I'm making with this pattern. Love it.
So glad I found your video. I watched over 10 videos prior to finding yours and they confused me and almost gave up. You are so clear and love that you slow things up. Thanks you!
So glad you found my channel! I am working on uploading another Bernat Baby Blanket video. Vertical stripes using double crochet. It’s beautiful. Pics and video don’t do it justice. Be on the look out for it.
I have done this pattern many times and I enjoy how it works up. I made 8 blankets for Christmas for grandkids using the bean stitch. I have been crocheting since I was 17 and I am in my 70's. Thanks for sharing.
I hope to have a new video soon!
This WAS easy & fast. AND I finally have straight edges! Thanks.
I loved your video so much. You must be a teacher. I liked your voice and you personality. You explain it very clearly. I really like the fact that you not only told us about stitch markers, but you showed us exactly where to put them. No one does that. It made my day. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
I did it! I made one, and I love it. Thank you ma'am for your guidance and instruction. Uaed a size 8 hook, so it came out thicker. I'm a beginner. Next time, I'll know😊. Still, very happy with the outcome.
Thank you for this easy to do baby blanket and your simple directions. I must make this forva baby shower!
That is so beautiful!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I feel like you’re my new best friend 🥰😘😘😘Excellent tutorial! I made my great baby nephew this blanket while watching this so I couldn’t be happier! Again, thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Aw! That’s sweet. I need a best friend. ❤️
I absolutely love this blanket. My great grandson is due December 23rd and I’d love to gift him with something personal like this. 💙
Yay! Congratulations. Make it a little bigger and he will be able to have it through toddler years.
I am just getting back into crocheting and I finished your easy sc dish cloth. I want to try this now - I have the same yarn in a different multi blue. I am very excited you shared this. Thank you!
Just made this blanket, easy and clear instructions. Thank you much!
So glad. Two more blanket videos coming out over the next two weeks. Hope you like those as well.
This was an amazing video! I was looking for a quick blanket for a shower I am attending for my niece tomorrow! Put off the project and after purchasing a gift card from her registry I decided to give this a whirl as all will be expecting a blanket from her crocheting auntie! Been working on this all afternoon. Working on the last 10 rows and the border. Will post on Facebook later!
Thank you for sharing that. I can’t wait to see the pic. It’s a quick project for sure.
I am so happy to finally find a video using this yarn!! I am searching for patterns for beginners for blankets and afghans using 5 and 6 weight yarn. Thank you!!
I have another video in the making using this yarn. It’s going to be about next week. Vertical stripes using double crochet stitch. Be on the look out. 😎
LOVE THIS TUTORIAL! Perfect for beginners and I greatly appreciate your thorough explanation of the use of the row markers! I wish I would have found this video two blankets ago. I can't wait to finish a project with straight edges!
Your welcome! I am glad it has helped you in some way.
I love a person that can be happy about the simple things in life (yarn needles) 🤪🤣🤣🥰 thanks for the demo, It's my first time crocheting so I hope I can do as good as you did.
I used your pattern and I love it. Thank you ❤
That’s awesome. I am so glad you like it.
Thank you for your great tutorial. My nephew just became a dad n I’ve been doing a toss up on blankets but I’m definitely making this one. So quick n easy. Don’t have Facebook to show you my work when finished but will figure a way. Blessings
It is a great video. Most videos don’t give you amount of yarn needed. Thanks for the details
Awww Nancy you seem so lovely and warm person. Thank you for the video and sending lots of love
I am returning to crochetIng after many, many years. Your voice is very soothing and you give very clear and easy to follow instructions.
Hi! I’m doing this blanket for the first time. It is a good choice with the heavy yarn. My blanket is not real straight on the end; I’m on the 4th row. My husband wanted Ocean Storm and bigger than 60” so I made it 70” wide!! It buckles in some places, is that normal? I’m using a N hook, because I didn’t have the L. Will it still turn out ok??
Now Ive changed gears and making my daughters roommate a sedge stitch blanket first....
This week is beautiful
Love this so much. Thank you for making this tutorial. It’s been a pleasure following you along💕
Fantastic video! So well explained everythiing. Look forward to other videos as I am going to be a GREAT grandma in January and have a lot of things I want to make! Thank you!

Nancy i stubbled on to you site and I just love the way you have presented this pattern and the total project thank you so much
You are so welcome
I love the simplicity of this blanket! I’ve been looking for 2 days trying to find a quick and easy pattern for bulky yarn that would have a nice drape, but still have some body to it. This is perfect! I’m making it now using the Premiere Serenity chunky yarn. When I finish it, I’ll be making one using the Bernal blanket yarn. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome pattern with us!
What a beautiful blanket, this video is definitely going on my to do list.
Thank you so much!!!

So glad this helped you. I am working on another pattern with this yarn. It’s a vertical stripe using double crochet. Be on the look out for it. 😎

Beautiful baby blanket
Thank you!
I just found you and now I have subscribed. You are so clear in this video, I have been crocheting for years, but still love to find easy and quick projects. I love the way the did the whole blanket, but I really love the border, it just pops. Can't wait to see more videos.
Oh wow! Thank you for the nice comments. I appreciate it. Please find us on Facebook and we started a Crochet Group as well. I would love to see pics of your latest projects. Feel free to post pictures of your latest WIPs there.
So pretty
Thank you!!
Lovely
Thank you for watching and the nice comment.
너무 이뻐요! 실을 잔뜩 사버렸어요...!😂
I know this video was posted years ago, but I was wondering what the size of the finished blanket is/was. Also, it is beautiful and your instructions are the most clear instructions I’ve ever heard, except for my Mom, God rest her soul.
This was one of my first videos when I started uploading to this channel. I did not put the blanket size in the comments. I watched the intro to the video and didn’t hear anything about the size. I apologize. I would guess from amount of yarn used that this is a toddler size blanket and likely around 36 to 40 inches wide and probably about 48 inches in length. But I can’t be sure unless I made another one. I gave that away as a gift.
Thank you for your compliment. I apologize for leaving out that bit of important information.
Awesome way you explain 💜
Thank you!
Thank you! I don't have Facebook.
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
So easy and beautiful 😍
Was looking for a pattern to make my 1st grand baby a blanket and found you 🥰🥰🥰🥰 awesome job lady !
Thank you so much! I have t been able to crochet in weeks now and can’t wait to get more projects started soon.
tammy carroll Hi Tammy have a look at a lady called Alison Russell craft channel she has some lovely baby patterns, I've done a couple of her blankets and hats a loopy one and a frilly one there is nothing like begin a grandmother xx
I have uploaded some new content recently. I hope you are still tuning in to the channel.
Love this! I am going to make two...one for the 3 year old and one for the 2nd grandbaby due in Dec! Thanks!
I am so glad you like it. I just uploaded another video using this same type of yarn but a different pattern and stitch. Check it out. Both get a blanket but they have their own special pattern look. 😎
VERY PRETTY GREAT DIRECTIONS THANKS. I MAKE BABY BLANKET WITH 2(220 YD.) BERNAT BLANKET OR BABY BLANKET . I MAKE A ADULT BLANKET WITH 5 (220 YD) THEY MAKE NICE SIZE. DOUBLE CROCHET . I CHAIN 50 & IT'S 38 INCHES ( WIDE)
Thank you, I really liked your video, very well explained 👍🏼
Hi Nancy, I love this blanket and plan on making it. My question is, do you need 900 yards of the white also? Thank you!
No you do not need 900 yards of white also. You will need approximately 900 yards total to make a baby blanket. It’s approximate because it depends on how loose your stitches are and size of hook you use. I just used the plain white as part of my border. If you do the same then you only need 100 yards or less of the white. Hope that helps. Feel free to ask more questions if you need to. Thank you for watching!!
I like the look of this blanket I'm going to do this one next time.
If you have problems finding a larger skein or need a color that the store may be out of the color/brand try the Joann app. Sometimes you may have to wait for a good coupon but great spp.
Thank you. I will try that app.
Love this
Thank you!
Nancy I thank you very much for help me crochet the baby blanket I do have problem turning around. My work. It end up un icing it. One cruket. Help please ❤️🌹😍👏🏽
Do you mean you are uneven when you turn your work? Did you try stitch markers to help you when you make the turn.
Awesome video! I have been searching for a cute pattern for a baby blanket using the Bernat blanket yarn. Your instructions are clear and so easy to follow! You explain everything perfectly! Thank you!
Thank you! I had to take a break from uploading but am working on a few more new blanket videos . I am so glad you found it helpful.
Thank you!
Thank you. I'm definitely going to try this pattern as I already bought the same yarn and was looking for a demo. It looks amazing.
Thank you! Blanket turned out great. I gave it to someone at church who had a little baby boy. She loved it.
Love your video. I have watched a lot of videos on making baby blanket but yours is definitely the best! Do you have the measurement of this blanket please? Thanks!
This was one of my first project videos. I made a mistake by not measuring this baby blanket and stating the size in my video and written instructions. Then, I gave it away as a gift. So now I am unable to share to size. I am sorry! Someone has asked that same question as well.
That's awesome.
this is a really helpful video, you do a great job
Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment.
What size did your blanket end up being??
I meant its beautiful.
You are an excellent teacher! I can't wait to watch more of your videos! 🤩
I'm just starting to learn how to crochet, when your first skein stops of the blue, how do you join the next one to it?
You crochet it in or you can tie it together. In the video I show you. Also there is another video on my playlist for beginners.
Great video! Very easy to follow!💕
Thank you. How long have you been crocheting?
Not very long, so these easy projects are fantastic!
Hope you are still crocheting! Let me know if you have any new projects you need help with and we will see it we can post a crochet tutorial on it.
I made one and they like it
Please tell me how to wash this kind of yarn
See answer below
thank you, I made one simerlar to this without the border fur my Great Grandson .i wished I had seen this one first.
Be on the look out...I hope to have another Bernat blanket project uploaded within the week
How long would you do a baby blanket
It depends on type of blanket you are making. I like to make the toddler blankets so they can use them beyond infancy. I like to make mine about 40 inches X 60 inches. Look up sizes of crochet baby blankets and under Google images you will see charts showing sizes of crib blankets versus swaddle blankets versus bassinet blankets and toddler blankets. Hope that helps you.
I have read through all of the comments several times, but cannot find the actual pattern to print out. Help please?
It’s there if you go to the drop down under the video. Pattern for the blanket and the border are there for you.
Hi. I love this blanket/pattern. Your video is clear and easy to follow. However I'm having trouble with the border. It doesn't seem to lay flat. I've had to do over with the same problem, what am I doing wrong?
What stitch are you making as border?
Your instructions are clear and and easy to follow. I have just one question. Are you crocheting into the space formed
between each pair of double crochet v-stitches, or are you crocheting into the space between the two individual stitches that form the v? It's just a little hard for me to see on the video because the yarn is so thick. Thank you, and hope you keep posting videos!
Into space between the two individual stitches
@@TheCraftyYarnBarn Thank you! I appreciate your video so much!
I have created several more videos for blankets. Let me know what you think.
This is beautiful. I have learned how to use Betnat Blanket. Intimidated by not knowing where the stitch is.
I am making a baby blanket.
I weary of the large holes
And a baby. Can you
Advise another stitch pattern that is little more dense but
I can see the stitch or feel it.
Thank you so much.
This stitch with the bulky yarn doesn’t have holes. Try a few rows and you will see how it looks. I think you will like it.
@@TheCraftyYarnBarn - thank you. I continued on and you are correct. I ran out of the Yarn. It worked up so fast. Jus trike you stated. But I got a big bag from a person on Mercari. She said it was mill yarn. I took the chance and what a bargain for almost nothing in cost. But- the yarn is deceiving as I ran out and it was not as appeared. It great all a learning process. And the most enjoyable one to date. So I’m trying to buy more to finish. Thank you again🥰🥰🥰
I have added a few more blanket projects on the channel. I hope you are still tuning in. Enjoy.
Hi, you are a great teacher for this project.
Thank you so much looking forward to making one for an adult. Question for you?????
If I have 4 balls if 10.5 oz approx. 258 yds. Its the Stitch Studio By Nicole. Name of the yarn is Chateau.
I was wondering how many chains I should make for a blanket for a man? I have some of these left over from when A.C. Moore was in business, Also, how long do you think it should be? I need to learn how to read a pattern. I have crochet for years when I could, but just use the basics sc, ds, hdc, tc, etc,,,,,I see so many quite things people make that are animals pillows fruit etc, I sure would love to learn to read a pattern so I could branch out some. I do watch the videos sometimes and write in my own words what the person is doing and then go that route. Thank you so much. God Bless you,
That is not going to be enough yarn for an adult size throw. That should make a nice kids throw. My knowledge and of that yarn it’s a size 6-super bulky. You will need approximately 1625 to 2000 yards of that yarn to make an Afghan. There is a good chart online that tells you how much yarn by size / weight of yarn for projects. Google “How much yarn do I need for various projects “ and look at images that show the charts.
Do you skip 1 stitch for the whole blanket?
Hello Nancy Ellen - love your tutorial! Have a question about purchasing the yarn. How much white yarn is needed? You mentioned 850-900 yards total of the Waterslide Variegated, but how much white did you purchase?
Thank you for watching. I had 2 small swims of the white. Approximately 100 to 140 yards of the white.
@@TheCraftyYarnBarn Thank you so much!
You’re welcome
Nancy Ellen I thought a chain one or two between the dc''s.
Thank you for the question. Not on this pattern. This pattern does not call for chain between the pairs. See comment section for pattern details. Have a wonderful day!! 🙏☀️
How do you keep edge straight
My suggestion would be to use stitch markers. It helps me. I use them for All my projects.
Good morning where can I find the crochet hook I checked on Amazon is not showing up want to make this beautiful baby blanket
Check Walmart
Please I beg you make more videos
I am working on making 3 more now. If you have specific request let me know. The 3 I am working on are- simple single crochet dishcloth for beginners, another baby blanket, and granny squares. Thank you for feedback.
How about crocheting pillows? Even baby pillows?
Are you still crocheting? Hope you are enjoying my new videos.
LOVE U
Thank you!
Thank you so much. I bravely started this blanket last night. My question is how do I do a border with the same yarn? Do I have to cut the yarn and start in the middle of a row or just add 3 single sc on the end corner and continue? I am using a bamboo hook and I think I need to change that as it’s not as smooth.
I would not start my border on the end of a row because when you make your way around you will be finishing off at that same corner. In my opinion, it will look better if you finish off your blanket and start your border at different spot. Hope that helps. I would love to see your end product. If you have Facebook, join the Crochet Group The Crafty Yarn Barn and post a pic so we can see your blanket.
God bless y’all ❤️
Hi dear
I love your video and i want to make this blanket for my baby plz tell me how many skeins am need for a baby blanket please its a humble request.
Depends on the size of the skein. Total you will need at least 900 to 1000 yds of bulky weight.
How much white do you need? It doesn't say in the description. Hope you don't mind me asking. Tfs 😘😊🤗I have had to sub I love the way that you demonstrate
I bought small skein that was 108 yds. It was plenty to do a white border.
I am loving this blanket and doing good on it for the most part. My question is when turning and starting next row I must be doing something wrong. That edge is all wonky, rippled. So I turn, chain 3 and then do 2 double crochets in the first available space or the next one in. I think I messed up back a few rows and did my double crochet in the first space not the first space in between the two v’s. Am I making any sense? This is only my second time crocheting but I seem to have issues with keeping my edges straight.
I just answered my question by watching your other video. Thank you.
Make sure to use row markers! That will help you tremendously I think. I hope it worked for you.
Must be a big baby for that size blanket
😂
I absolutely love this tutorial! I was trying to teach myself to crochet by watching TH-cam videos but couldn’t understand how to keep my rows straight. Your instructions are so helpful and I can see how to do everything & understand now thanks to you! Hands down best teaching tutorials! I’m in the process of making this blanket now( my first ever crocheted project) and I wanted to ask you how to do a color change on my yarn? Would it be in the 3 chains at the beginning of starting a new row?? Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your comments. It’s Hard to describe how to change colors by typing a response.
If it’s the same color then you can do a magic knot. If it’s the end of a row and a color change then you can just complete your normal chain two and then use your new yarn as last of third chain and hide the yarn in your next row. I feel like this is a horrible explanation. I will need to make you a video.
