Essential Supplies You Need

The type of yarn affects the blanket’s size and texture.

For a baby blanket, soft, durable yarn like Bernat Baby Yarn is ideal, providing a cuddly texture perfect for a baby shower gift. For frequent use, worsted weight yarn offers excellent durability for a larger throw.

For nursery decor or baby blanket craft, a US G/6 or 4mm hook is recommended for Bernat Baby Yarn. For home decor, a 5 mm hook and worsted weight yarn are used for demo blanket here. The size of the finished lovey blanket is about W 35.5” x L 41.5” which fits baby and kid size.

But feel free to experiment with different hooks and yarns to achieve your desired blanket sizes and texture.
