3 Color Bernat Blanket Yarn Baby Blanket
This easy 3 color Bernat blanket yarn baby blanket pattern uses a one row repeat pattern that is relaxing and makes a cuddly soft baby blanket. When it gets tough to choose just one color, I like using a color blocking method. With 3 colors of yarn, you create a clean, modern look without needing a complex border.
Materials and Hook Size
- Yarn: 3 skeins of Bernat Blanket Yarn (#6 Super Bulky weight). You will need 1 skein in each of your 3 chosen colors. (Each skein is 300g/10.5oz and 220 yards, meaning you will need approx. 660 total yards for this blanket).
- Hook: You can use the recommended L 11 hook or size up like I did to a P 12mm crochet hook. This creates a slightly airer fabric.
- Notions: Scissors and a large-eye tapestry needle (essential for weaving in super bulky yarn ends)
- Finished Size: The blanket measures approximately 30 by 36 inches when finished.

Bernat Blanket Yarn Baby Blanket Tutorial:
To make this 3 color Bernat blanket yarn baby blanket pattern, you will need to know how to make a slip knot, how to chain, how to make the single crochet stitch and how to double crochet. We will be working in the crochet blanket stitch which I explain below.
Start with a chain of 54. Chain loose to avoid creating a tight puckered blanket edge.
Working in blanket stitch, create clusters of sc,2dc.
Change colors every 15 rows. I’ve recently learnt how to join yarn with a magic knot that creates clean invisible transitions. This is a must know crochet technique that you will use over and over again!
The second pink color is such a subtle change from the white. I love the pastel beauty of these two colors together. Crochet 15 rows of the soft pink. If you are like me and like pen and paper, here is a crochet printable to keep track of your rows.
I added a third color, which is again a soft pink gradient, just a shade or two darker. The three colors together add so much interest to this 3 color Bernat blanket yarn baby blanket pattern. Simple stitches always shine in a beautiful color palette.
The finished blanket measures approximately 30 by 36 inches in size and is a great stroller size. I did not add any border, instead leaving the blanket with clean modern color blocks.
