Bernat Crochet Colorful Polka Dots Blanket
What’s better than a handmade gift for a newborn baby? This step-by-step guide will help you create a colorful and cozy Bernat crochet polka dots baby blanket, perfect for snuggles and sleepy time. With clear instructions and easy-to-follow patterns, even beginner crocheters can take on this project with confidence.
Before starting on your Bernat crochet polka dots baby blanket, you’ll need to gather all the materials and choose the colors you want to use. The materials include Bernat Baby Blanket Big Ball Yarn, a crochet hook, a yarn needle and scissors. You can choose any color combination you like – pastel shades for a classic look or bright and bold colors for a more modern feel. Make sure to have enough yarn to complete the project before beginning so that you don’t run out in the middle of crocheting. Once you have all your materials and chosen your colors, it’s time to get started on creating your cozy baby blanket!
To begin your Bernat crochet polka dots baby blanket, create a slip knot and foundation chain. Make a loop with the yarn and insert your crochet hook into the loop. Pull the yarn through the loop to create a slip knot. Then, hold onto the tail of the yarn and wrap it over your hook before pulling it through the slip knot loop. This is called a single crochet stitch. Continue making single crochet stitches until you have reached your desired length for the foundation chain.
The foundation chain creates a base for the rest of your crochet work. For this pattern, you will need to create a foundation chain that is a multiple of four plus three. This means you can choose any number that is divisible by four and then add three more chains at the end. Once your foundation chain is complete, you will begin working on the first row of your colorful polka dots baby blanket. With just a few simple stitches and some gorgeous Bernat yarn, you can create a stunning and cozy blanket for any little one in your life.
After you have created your foundation chain for the Bernat crochet polka dots baby blanket, it’s time to move on to the first row. Begin by making three chains and then work double crochet stitches into the second chain from the hook. For each stitch, insert your hook into the chain, yarn over and draw up a loop. Next, yarn over again and pull through two loops on your hook. Repeat these steps all along the row until you have reached the end. This will create a solid base for your colorful polka dots to stand out against.
Once you have completed the first row of double crochet stitches, it’s time to start adding in your colorful polka dots. To do this, you will switch colors and work a chain stitch followed by a single crochet stitch in the same space as the last double crochet stitch. Then, skip one stitch and repeat this pattern all along the row, creating a series of colorful polka dots. Repeat this process for subsequent rows until you have reached your desired size for the baby blanket. The Bernat crochet colorful polka dots baby blanket is a fun and playful project that is perfect for any new addition to the family.
Once you have completed the first row, it’s time to start working on the polka dot pattern for your Bernat crochet baby blanket. Using the color chart provided, decide which colors you want to use and in what order. For each polka dot, insert your hook into the stitch where you want to place the dot, yarn over with the new color and pull it through, yarn over again and draw through the two loops on your hook to complete a single crochet stitch. Repeat this process for each polka dot until you have finished the row. Then move onto the next row and continue working in this way until your blanket is complete. Following the color chart carefully will ensure that your polka dots are placed evenly throughout your blanket for a beautiful finished result.
After completing the first row of your Bernat crochet baby blanket, you are ready to start working on the polka dot pattern. The provided color chart is an important tool to help guide you in creating a stunning finished piece. Choosing which colors to use and in what order is entirely up to you, but keep in mind that these colors will be prominently displayed throughout the blanket. Once you have decided on your color scheme, each polka dot is made by inserting your hook into the desired stitch, then pulling through the new color yarn and completing a single crochet stitch. By repeating this process for each polka dot, you can create a beautiful and colorful addition to your baby’s nursery decor. So follow the color chart carefully and enjoy watching your unique crocheted creation come to life!
