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.

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.

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.

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

Wow, thank you!

[@cathharr08]

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. ❤️

[@marlenemyers8366]

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??

[@Teresaandmark8561]

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.

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

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.

[@chrissyreagle3044]

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!

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

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!!

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

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.

I absolutely love this tutorial! I was trying to teach myself to crochet by watching KZbin 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!

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

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.

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,

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

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.

[@jayshahulama9467]

Do you skip 1 stitch for the whole blanket?

[@ceebee6922]

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!

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

Into space between the two individual stitches

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.

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.

How long would you do a baby blanket

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

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.

Please I beg you make more videos

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

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.

[@hetaliamenace14]

How about crocheting pillows? Even baby pillows?

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

Are you still crocheting? Hope you are enjoying my new videos.

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.

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

Depends on the size of the skein. Total you will need at least 900 to 1000 yds of bulky weight.

[@loominl6215]

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

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

I bought small skein that was 108 yds. It was plenty to do a white border.

[@Binga7686]

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.

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

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.

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.

[@chrismcshurley8019]

I just answered my question by watching your other video. Thank you.

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

Make sure to use row markers! That will help you tremendously I think. I hope it worked for you.

[@rebeccadestefano4121]

Hi, I have tried this crochet blanket and I cannot make a straight line at the edge. I have watched the video many times and I am following the same design but the blankets curves and gets smaller as I go on. Please help as I am struggling, what am I doing wrong. Thanks

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

You need to Mark your last stitch and turning chain so you finish your row in the correct place. Hope this helps. If you don’t have toe markers use safety pin or even small piece of yarn to make the row.

[@kaseykaiser4974]

What size should the body be before the border? I am curious if mine isn’t wide enough.

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

Hi Kasey! It depends. Sorry to answer that way, but it's true. Depends on what type of blanket you are wanting to make. For example, stroller blanket is generally 30 in X 36 in, toddler blanket is 40 in X 60 in, lap blanket is 36 in X 45 in. Google the following, "crochet blanket size chart". This will give you a chart showing the different sizes for the type of blanket you are wanting to make. I hope this helps. When you finish your project, go to our Crochet Group on Facebook and post a pic so I can see it.

Hi there! I'm looking for a pattern to follow for my little blanket that I wanna put in my office so that I can fight against the strong aircon at work, saw this video and I knew this is what I'm looking for! I have about 8 balls of mole yarn (the material looks really similar to the ones you are using in this video) that are about 40g/1.4oz each and the size of then are about the ones you are using. I bought them in a japanese stall and there isn't any indication of how much yrd is each ball, may I know how much of these balls of yarn will I need and how much of those white yarn will i need to complete this pattern? Not sure if you will get to see this comment but I would really appreciate if you can reply me! Thanks for sharing!! :)

[@TheCraftyYarnBarn]

There's no way to directly convert grams to yards because each weight (thickness) of yarn will vary from another. I am sorry.
