Bernat Bricks Blanket
This easy Bernat Bricks Blanket is super quick using Bernat Blanket Yarn. This yarn is ultra-thick and intended for making chunky and lightweight home decor blankets.

Bernat Blanket comes in two formats. As in the pattern, it is the standard Bernat Blanket Yarn. There is also Bernat Baby Blanket yarn. What is the difference?
The difference between the two is the colour palette. You can mix and match both brands together as the yarn weight and yardage are the same. The difference is that the baby version has colours suitable for the baby that are either fun and bright or light and pastel colours. There are several colours to choose from.
In the original format, as in the pattern provided, the colours are darker and have a wide range of colours that punch or colours that are more subtle and neutral. We each have our own preferences and the number of colours that are available lends itself to meet the needs of many for their own personal colour choices.

I found your video on pinterest while looking for a pattern to make to put on my couch. This one intrigued me and I want to try to make it. I am having to find more patterns using the larger hooks and chunky yarn for health reasons. I also like to find quick working projects because my stamina to work on them isn’t what it once was. Can you suggest other projects like this one that are simple and quick to work using the bulky yarn.
The Modern Granny is a great bulky weight blanket.
I couldn’t find the Bernat Bricks pattern on the Red Heart link
It’s a Yarnspirations pattern. Just click the pink “Get Pattern” button and it will direct you right to it! 🙂
I bought the yarn and needle required. As I started to read the directions, Row 4 confused me, working the long post dc from left to right was impossible. I was so frustrated, put away the yarn and needle for about a month. Lo and behold I found your video and you made it look so easy. I can hardly wait to start it again. Thanks!
I have yet to try an actual pattern and have only made two scarves (the first one just very basic trying to get the feel of crocheting and the 2nd one, I attempted a pattern, got frustrated and made up my own). Is this easy enough to try as a first pattern? I don’t want to go spend the money on the yard/hook and then fail. (not that I can’t return the unopened ones)
Try with a reduced hook and scrap yarn just a mini sample. That way you will know for sure.
And this suggestion is why you make the big bucks! haha I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Thanks!
I used this pattern for the first lap blanket I made. Easy peasy!
I am looking for a pattern I saw a while ago but cannot find it again. It is an afghan that looks like Leo blocks. Do you know where I could find it?
I meant to spell Lego blocks. It is a very cute pattern.
There’s a pattern on Red Heart. http://redheart.com
In the written pattern for the Bricks Blanket, “4th row: Ch 3 (counts as dc). *3 dc in next ch-4 sp. Yoh and draw up a loop around post of next dc 2 rows below at front of work inserting hook from left to right. (Yoh and draw through 2 loops on hook) twice – long dcfp made.” The pattern say to insert hook from LEFT to RIGHT around the post. You show RIGHT to LEFT in this step. Which is the proper way to do the pattern? Just wondering as it changes the look of the “ridge” depending which way you do it. Thanks.
Oh my gosh I have been wracking my brain over this. It seem far too inconvenient to go left to right on the front, so I didn’t it right to left instead and it looks exactly like the picture
Thanks for this video tutorial! I usually only follow written patterns, but was confused on row 4 where it says to insert the hook from left to right for the long fpdc. My brain did not want to do it, so I watched your video and you did it the way I always did for front post – right to left. Thanks again!
The only Bernat Blanket I have home is a multicolor and I used it to follow along with the tutorial this morning. I will say, once you understand what you’re doing (thanks to the fabulous Mikey!), it is an easy pattern to follow. Unfortunately, the different colors of the multicolor yarn makes you lose the striking affect of the pattern, and the long posts don’t have as much impact. I will make this pattern at some point, but I would only use it with a single color yarn.
at 3.23 say chain 3 then at 3.28 say chain 4, sorry thought about that after I send the original message. I really enjoy crocheting along with you.
Okay let me check again… Sorry for this trouble.
Thanks so much… I saw it this time and have left a video correction notice at the time marker you gave me. 🙂 Appreciate your help.
You are welcome, I am enjoying this project
That would make a great gift blanket! The receiver would think it took forever, but looks like it would go very quick.
The video for Right hand Bernat Brick Stitch has an error that makes it sound like you crochet 3 then crochet 4 for a total of 7 right at the beginning of row 1. It should just say crochet 4. After I got to the end of row 2 things did not look right so I referred to the pattern found the error, ripped out and started over.
i’m checking now.
I checked and listened along. I don’t follow where you said I made an error? Can you give me a minute marker in the video to show where I have messed up.
