To crochet an amazing baby blanket you need 3 things: a soft yarn, a crochet hook and a bit of patience. Blanket yarn is a soft and snuggly choice that will also save you some time. That’s why these super bulky yarn baby blanket crochet patterns are perfect for last minute gifts!
The thickness of blanket yarn doesn’t lend itself well to complicated stitchwork, so you will find that many super bulky yarn baby blanket crochet patterns are really quite simple. You can make the majority of the patterns on this list using just the basic stitches: single, half double, double, and/or treble crochet.
Of course, there are also a few lace designs here for you to peruse as well as one stunning cablework design. So if you are the type of crocheter who loves a challenge, then you will certainly find the baby blanket crochet patterns you are looking for here.
What is super bulky yarn?
The Craft Yarn Council has a standard yarn weight system, and super bulky yarn is a category #6 on their scale, with a crochet gauge range of 7-9 stitches to four inches (10cm). The only yarn weight heavier than super bulky is jumbo weight yarn. See our guide to super bulky yarn here.
If you don’t happen to have any super bulky yarn in your stash or if you run out of blanket yarn mid project, there is one trick that you can use to substitute yarn in these super bulky yarn baby blanket crochet patterns. That trick is to use 2 strands of worsted weight yarn instead. And it’s quite a nice trick to have in your back pocket, especially considering that the average stash has more worsted than any other weight of yarn!

Softness in baby blankets is an absolute must and it doesn’t get much softer than velvet!
