Bernat Blanket Yarn is a very popular yarn to use to crochet blankets (I mean after all, it’s named for it 🙂 ) It is a 100% polyester super bulky #6 chenille yarn. And it can make some super cozy and warm blankets that can be stitched up fast due to the size of the yarn itself.
In this roundup post, we’ve put together a list of some gorgeous crochet blanket patterns that all use Bernat Blanket Yarn.

Why Bernat Blanket Yarn?
Bernat Blanket Yarn is known for its super bulky weight, making it perfect for quick projects that don’t skimp on luxury or warmth.
Its velvety texture not only feels wonderful against the skin but also works up beautifully in a variety of stitches, providing both visual and tactile delight.
How Many Skeins of Bernat Blanket Yarn is Needed to Crochet a Blanket?
The number of Bernat Blanket Yarn skeins needed for crocheting a blanket is going to depend on the size of the blanket you are making along with the individual pattern.

What Size Crochet Hook Should Be Used for Bernat Blanket Yarn?
Again this is going to depend on the individual pattern that you have for your blanket. Designers choose different hook sizes depending on the stitch and look that they are trying to achieve with the pattern design.
Bernat Yarn itself suggests an 8.00 mm crochet hook for their yarn, but I’ve seen 6.00 mm hooks used for some patterns and even big hook sizes such as 19.00 mm crochet hook.
