What size crochet hook should I use with Bernat blanket super bulky yarn?
When it comes to crochet, one of the most important things to consider is the size of crochet hook you will need. Even though the Bernat blanket super bulky yarn and calls for an 8mm crochet hook I have pumped this all the way up to a 15mm.
This yarn is very thick and dense, so working with an even larger crochet hook is totally okay! In fact it is GREAT! Using such a large hook doesn’t only mean that your crochet blanket will work up super fast but it will also have a beautiful drape to it making it super soft and cozy.
How many skies of Bernat blanket super bulky yarn do you need for a crochet throw?
Bernat Blanket Super Bulky yarn is a great option for crocheters looking for a heavy weight yarn. Each ball of Bernat Blanket Super Bulky yarn is about 300 grams/200 meters, so you will need between approximately 6-7 balls to make a crochet throw size blanket.
Available in limitless colour options with a simple, mild variegation, Bernat Blanket lends a touch personalization to any decor. This is such a beautiful decoration-yarn and after making a few blankets that my dog and cat have taken over I can tell you honestly it lasts forever!
