10 Easy Bernat Blanket Yarn Patterns You’ll love

7. Linen Stitch Blanket (Textured Finish)

I absolutely love the linen stitch pattern – it creates this stunning woven look that’s simply irresistible! Let me show you how to create this beautiful texture with Bernat Blanket Yarn.

Creating the Linen Stitch:

1. Chain an even number of stitches
2. Single crochet in the 2nd chain from hook
3. Chain 1, skip next chain, single crochet in next chain – repeat between *
4. Turn your work
5. Single crochet in first stitch
6. Chain 1, skip chain-1 space, single crochet in next single crochet – repeat between *

The linen stitch creates a dense, warm fabric that’s perfect for:

• Cozy winter blankets
• Durable home decor items
• Temperature-regulating baby blankets

The texture of this stitch paired with Bernat Blanket Yarn’s plushness creates an extra layer of warmth and comfort. I love how the thick yarn emphasizes each stitch, making the woven pattern really pop. The result is a professional-looking blanket that feels luxurious to touch.

Pro Tip: Work this stitch slightly looser than you normally would – it tends to create a tighter fabric than standard stitches.

8. Quick Berry Stitch (Dimensional Crochet Patterns)

The berry stitch is a favorite of mine because it can create beautiful, raised texture that adds depth to any blanket project. This delightful stitch creates small, puffy clusters that look like tiny berries scattered across your work. For a detailed guide on how to master this stitch, you can refer to this Crochet Berry Blanket tutorial.

Creating the Berry Stitch:

1. Work 4 double crochet stitches into the same stitch
2. Remove your hook from the last loop
3. Insert hook into the first double crochet of the group
4. Pick up the dropped loop and pull through
5. Chain 1 to secure

The magic of this stitch lies in its versatility with Bernat Blanket Yarn. The yarn’s plush texture amplifies the three-dimensional effect, making each berry pop beautifully against the background.

Color Selection Tips:

• Choose a lighter shade for the background to make the berries stand out
• Deep jewel tones create dramatic berry clusters
• Variegated yarn adds extra visual interest to the texture
• Monochromatic schemes highlight the dimensional aspect

The berry stitch pattern works exceptionally well with these Bernat Blanket Yarn colors:

• Vintage White for elegant backgrounds
• Dark Burgundy for rich, realistic berries
• Teal Dreams for a modern twist
• Shadow Purple for royal sophistication
