Crocheters everywhere know and love Bernat Blanket Super Bulky yarn because of its amazing texture and warmth. This yarn is perfect for crochet throws, blankets, and other projects that need a lot of drape.

Here are five reasons to start using Bernat Blanket Super Bulky in your next project:

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!

This is a great substitute if you are looking for a classic crochet throw. This yarn comes in an array of beautiful colours and is a combination of wool and acrylic. Note however, this yarn DOES NOT wear as well as the Bernat Blanket.

I have crocheted a few throws with this yarn and it doesn’t take long before they start to look pilled and worn. If you are using as an accent piece and it will not be seeing much action then I say go for it! This is the yarn for you!

How to Resize this Crochet Throw Pattern

Changing the size of this crochet throw couldn’t be easier! The crochet blanket made from this pattern will be 50″ x 60″. If you wish to make it longer or shorter adjust the length of your starting chain. To change the width of this throw, crochet more or less rows.

This pattern calls for a multiple of 2 + 1.

For this pattern a starting chain of 91. So written another way would be 90 + 1. So just chain a number divisible by 2 then pop one extra chain on the end.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON RESIZING THIS CROCHET THROW

Please take note! This blanket is worked sideways. Which means the rows being crocheted are the length of the throw not the width.

We will start by making a chain of 91 stitches and this will equal approximately 60″ which is the length of the throw.

If you want to make it longer you will want to add extra chains at this point.

If you want to change the width of this crochet throw then simply crochet less or more rows.
