Alternative Yarn Choices

The baby afghan version uses 7 Bernat Baby Softee Yarn Balls. Total yardage is 2,534. Here is a list of other brands within the Yarnspirations family of yarns to consider. I have worked out the ball counts for you to make it easier for you. These are for the solid colours of each line as variegated are usually shorter in yardage.

  • 3.25 Caron One Pound Balls
  • 6 Bernat Super Saver
  • 7 Bernat Baby Coordinates
  • 8 Caron Simply Soft
  • 13 Bernat Satin
  • 14 Bernat Giggles
  • 14 Bernat L'il Tots

Afghan Width Sizes - Starting Chain Counts

Assumptions - 1 Scale = 1.5" wide-spanning 6 chains. Chain counts below are in multiples of 6. The goal if this information is to give you the starting chain counts. You will need to figure out how much yarn you will need to accomplish the finished project.

  • Scarf, 6" wide = Chain 30
  • Baby, 36" wide = Chain 144
  • Twin, 39" wide = Chain 162
  • Throw, 60" wide = Chain 246

    Greetings from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. My mother attempted to teach me how to crochet when I was in my teens but I could never get it. Two years ago I found the crochet crowd. I have learnt how to crochet utilizing Mikey's tutorials. I am now 60 years old and my little Granddaughter has challenged me to crochet her a Mermaid Blanket using Crocodile Stitch. I love how you teach Mikey. Not much housework gets done these days because I am hooked.
