You may remember I posted a picture (see it here) back in December that I taught my friend Barbara how to crochet while we were on a winter break ski trip. Well, she just finished her bold stripes blanket and it looks so beautiful and the stitches are so perfect that it’s hard to believe this was her first time crocheting! She’s a natural!
She used Bernat Super Value yarn in denim heather blue, soft gray, and winter white. This was such a great yarn for a beginner project and the colors worked so well together. I also love the width of the blue stripes against the thinner white and gray stripes. Barbara made this project for her baby boy who is due to make his arrival this summer! I can’t wait to see her sweet boy laying on this blanket that was handmade with so much love! I will have to get her started on project #2 and we will be sure to keep you guys in the loop with all the details and the pattern!
Here we are crocheting together on New Years Eve! And you can see the start of her blanket!
Materials:
– Bernat Super Value yarn in denim heather blue (3 skeins), soft gray (1 skein), and winter white (2 skeins). Shop these colors HERE at Yarnspirations.com and be sure to use the coupon code RCMSUPERVALUE20 for 20% off at checkout!

Bold Stripes Blanket Pattern:

Chain 146, SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, chain 1, turn
Row 2-16: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
at the end of Row 16 attach white yarn, chain 1, turn

Row 23-26: SC in each stitch across, chain 1 turn
Attach blue yarn and continue repeating pattern until you have 8 blue stripes (the thick blue stripes should be on either end of the blanket.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Here is the color pattern:
16 Rows Blue
4 Rows White
2 Rows Gray
4 Rows White
16 Rows Blue
4 Rows White
2 Rows Gray

We decided on a simple 2 round border of gray to mimic the gray stripes within the blanket. Attach gray yarn to any place along the edge. SC all the way around blanket. Don’t make too many SC’s on the rough edges otherwise your blanket will ripple. Make a SC + chain 1 + SC in each of the 4 corners. SC around entire blanket a second time. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Of course the blanket could be made is so many different color combos! Luckily Bernat Super Value comes in 55 shades! Plus there are so many options for the border. You have creative freedom!!
