I love making baby blankets. Especially when they are made with super bulky yarn and work up in a weekend!! That’s exactly how this pattern is, and the Bernat Blanket Stripes yarn even does the color changing for you. Win-win!
Baby blankets are by far the most popular category year-round on my blog. So much so that I’ve decided to start creating a lot more baby items: blankets, booties, sweaters, hats, etc. I love baby makes! Even though we are done having babies in this house (4 boys is enough and the youngest is still under 1 1/2!) baby makes are my favorites. I usually always know someone I can make a baby gift for so it’s easy to find a baby to gift these to.
I really enjoy using the Bernat Blanket yarn. I have used it for two other c2c projects in the past – the Quick and Easy Baby Blanket and the Race car Blanket (which is huge but worked up way faster than I ever thought possible!) Both of these have been popular projects on the site and I wanted another quick and beautiful blanket – and here it is. 😀

Hi Ruth – I’m sending you an email to the address you used for this comment.
I have always wanted to make one of these c2c blankets but I can never get even to the 2nd row of one. It just ends up looking like a little tangled mess and I give up. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
