Crochet Bright Beginnings Blanket Pattern + Tutorial

Sharing is caring!

Great for crochet beginners, try the Bright Beginnings Blanket as your first project. For experienced crocheters, it's a breeze and quick to make, too! Using Bernat Baby Blanket.

In this tutorial, we are simply doing double crochets in groups of 3, followed by a ch-1 to create a space. As I reflected on in the video tutorial, a pattern like this, with the ch-1 space, makes the yarn go a bit further as it has fewer stitches.

These types of afghans using the Bernat Blanket Yarns are really soft and warm. In warmer climates, the ch-1 space can provide ventilation and, of course, a stylish element to it.

Try this beginner's project as your first project. You may just get hooked on crochet.

    I clicked on the link for the paw blanket ant got this one instead. There are a few more links in the pet patterns that are wrong too.

      I'm not sure what one you are looking at because this is the right blanket for this blog?
