How do you make Bernat Blanket yarn go further? Use more spaces and chain work. With the brand new Bernat Blanket Swivel yarn colouring, I really wanted the yarn to go a long way, but also not be overly heavy.
Be warned, though, the colouring of this new extension brand is addictive to play with. I had a hard time putting down the blanket when I was crocheting it to see how it would work out.
The download also includes a simple crochet diagram to follow.
