The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Granny Stitch Baby Blanket

This blanket is crocheted using Brava Worsted Yarn which can be found at Wecrochet or Knitpicks!

Brava Worsted Yarn from WeCrochet

Brava Worsted is a 100% acrylic, medium weight four yarn that is machine washable and dryable which is perfect when crocheting a baby blanket.

With over 45+ yarn colors to pick from there are so many color combinations you could make this blanket in to match whatever color scheme the new parents would like. I will list a few color combinations I came up with at the end of the pattern if you’d like to take a look!

My overall opinion of Brava worsted yarn is positive! It is affordable, easy to find and has a lot of color options which is always a good thing when it comes to yarn.

The Stitches You’ll Need to Know to Make a Granny Blanket

To make this granny blanket you will need to know how to double crochet or DC as it is sometimes abbreviated in crochet patterns.

The double crochet stitch is one of the basic beginner crochet stitches that are learned when a new crocheter is first starting out.

Learn more about the double crochet stitch in our free double crochet video tutorial or double crochet written lesson.

You can also look over the step-by-step dc tutorial below.

Double Crochet (dc):

  1. Wrap the yarn over (YO) the hook, insert the hook into the specified st.
  2. YO the hook again, draw the yarn through the st so there are 3 loops on the hook
  3. YO the hook again draw it through 2 loops so there are 2 loops on the hook
  4. YO the hook, draw it through the final 2 loops.

    This is easier than the way I was taught! Thanks.
    I have an off the wall question.
    I have some mohair yarn. Not very much though. Do you have any suggestions on how I can use it?

      Hi! I am so glad you like this pattern!
      As for the mohair yarn I was going to suggest a shawl but as seeing you don’t have much maybe a neck scarf.

      Happy crocheting!
