Check it up with the new Bernat Baby Blanket Tiny Yarn to create this unique-looking blanket, Crochet Checker Baby Blanket.
This project uses three yarns at the same time but is not done as a graphghan. It's strategic to use ch 3s to hide the colours from each other. Using three colours allows the colours to flow easily up the side of the blanket with very little notice without having to change yarns constantly.
It's a bit fiddly to start, but once you get the hang of it, about row 3, it's easier to hold and manipulate. You just have to push yourself to get started, and the rest will hook up with ease.

I am working on this project right now. I LOVE it! I am pretty much a beginner but not scared to try things with the suppport of a tutorial master like Mikey. I couldn't get it right to start, I wasn't including the chain above in my yarn over... After watching the tutorial I'm all straightened out and rocking out my baby blankie. I really enjoy carrying the yarns up the side instead of stopping and starting and weaving in the ends! ;-P This one almost makes me want another so I can make one for myself, almost. Good thing I know I can make one a little bigger. I love watching your tutorials Mikey, keep on killing it. 🙂
