Bernat Baby Blanket Big Ball for Babies

Bernat's Baby Sport yarn is a beautifully soft, plied acrylic yarn designed with a baby's delicate skin in mind. Proudly made in Canada, this yarn is perfect for creating cozy garments and blankets. When purchasing, it's important to buy enough yarn at one time, as dye lots can differ.

For knitting projects, a US size 6 (4 mm) needle is recommended, yielding a gauge of 22 stitches by 30 rows over a 4-inch (10 cm) square. If you're opting for crochet, a G-6 (4 mm) hook is suitable for achieving the same gauge of 22 single crochets by 30 rows over a 4-inch (10 cm) area. The yarn comes in generous quantities, with a ball weighing 280 grams (9.8 oz) and providing a length of 816 meters (893 yards).

This lightweight, plied texture yarn is made entirely of 100% acrylic, ensuring a gentle touch that is ideal for infants. However, it's important to note that this yarn is not suitable for arm knitting.

In addition to the Baby Sport yarn, there's also a luxuriously soft chenille-style option that's great for crafting baby blankets and clothing. This variant features a larger ball size of 300 grams (10.5 oz) and includes 201 meters (220 yards) of yarn.

For knitting with this chenille-style yarn, a US size 11 (8 mm) needle is recommended, allowing you to achieve a gauge of 8 stitches and 13 rows over 4 inches (10 cm). If you prefer crocheting, a crochet hook size of K (6.5 mm) will help you reach a gauge of 8 single crochets and 8 rows per 4 inches (10 cm).

Both yarn options are perfect for making baby blankets and other knitted or crocheted items for little ones. With their soft fibers and recommended knitting or crocheting details, these yarns provide the ideal balance of comfort and versatility for all your baby project needs. The exquisite texture and quality of Bernat's yarns guarantee that your creations will be both functional and cuddly, ensuring that every stitch is a delight for both the maker and the recipient.

Remember to always check your gauge before starting any project to guarantee the correct fit for your handmade items. Whether you choose the plied Baby Sport yarn or the luxurious chenille option, you'll be crafting beautiful pieces that are sure to be cherished for years to come. Enjoy the process of creating something special for a little one with Bernat's baby yarns, where softness and quality come together in every ball.
