I love, love, love this!!! I'm making one in camouflage for my dad and another in pink and colors that compliments for my niece. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing pattern. After searching and searching for something that popped out at me to crochet for my dad, I came across your video and was instantly hooked! Thanks, mate, again for sharing!!!❤️
SO pleased that you love the pattern. This blanket is my number one favourite crochet blanket - it is absolutely stunning and even men like it. I'm sure your Dad and Neice will be over the moon!
Hello, just adored your wonderful tutorial, love it, love it. Your explanations were prefect and very easy for me to follow. Thank you again for your generosity in sharing this video. God Bless and keep safe, thank you, Dianne❤
I've watched countless videos on these and I have to say yours is the best out of them all. Thank you for sharing. Camera work is great and you had a good pace so everything can be seen. It's a beautiful pattern. ❤😊❤
@@lisafernandez2696 As far as I am aware (and I could be wrong) either the top loop or the back loop is fine. However, you do just need to make sure you continue to go into this loop all the way around.
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I’ve made several blankets using squares but this shape gives a really interesting look. I’m making mine using a mid grey border which gives a sort of stained glass effect! I’ve made a slight adaptation to the triangles by using the same colour pattern as the square, which keeps the colour pattern the same, and also made quarter triangles for the 4 corners of the blanket. The joining method was tricky to master, but I stuck at it, and the cable effect really adds a great look.
I had just thought a day or two ago of looking up some sort of Sunburst or Starburst type granny square to put in the middle of a log cabin blanket dreamt up to crochet. AS a quilter, I had always heard that the legend of the Log Cabin - a true origin Log Cabin - design was that it always had a red or reddish orange block in the center to represent the Hearth or Heart of the home;a fire being very welcoming, even healing, life-giving. I also wondered if there was perhaps a red, orange and yellow variegated yarn, and because I am such an avid YT watcher I found both. I am going to use your pattern (or part of it) with the red, orange and yellow yarn to be the flickering flames of firelight in my hearth! I am going to do the Daylight and Dark, or maybe it's called Light and Shadow, version of the many that're called Log Cabin designs.
Thanks so much for such a lovely comment!! This video might help. I love these joins! Happy Crochet! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BszTmM3fTUM.html
I hate the bates bc of how blunt the tips are. I learned on Boye. Like most of us (older gals), they hurt my hands and I can’t use for long. I tried addi knock-offs, bc reviews said they have a swing that makes them faster…idk I couldn’t figure them out. I got cheap ‘ergonomic’ hooks from Amazon but so many had Burris on them that it would snag the yarn and had a lot of drag. I found eBay seller selling the 10pc set for $30 several yrs ago. I started playing w as soon as came in. I was like…omgosh these things are heaven!! Brushed hooks slide through any yarn like butter!!! They are simply heaven! And if you can find at cheaper price a def steal!! I then got the larger plastics, same! Best of all NO SQUEEK from yarn! Then got the steel hooks which are so nice if you’ve ever used the plain steel hooks - def old ones are hand killers! I’ve bought multiple sets! Absolutely love, love, love the ‘hot knife through butter’ feel and speed with which they go through yarn…doesn’t matter the material or project! Can’t recommend them enough! I’ve had the Denise Tunisian set but we had a house fire and I’ve not seen them since. I’d like to try the odyssey or the aluminum set bc of my carpel tunnel, thinking the weight would help, but the price…I know they take a lot to make, are inspected by hand, etc…idk just can’t pull trigger on $26-40/hook! But I’m cheap anyway, lol Edit: the one thing about clover is that they are color coded, so once you become familiar with them you will know size from memory…5mm=blue, 5.5mm=green, 6mm=brown, etc…and the size is stamped into the handle so you don’t lose the sticker and have to pull out the sizing bell (the sizing tool used during Victorian era to give standardized hook sizes as patters were beginning to be shared), to figure out the size hook needed for your project.
I am from India and I just finished making the fish it turned out very cute and beautiful thank you for the tutorial it was a wonderful experience working with you
I almost switched channels when I was listening to the very first very obvious way but I thought no know she's got some humor about her let's see... and by golly and big guy she came up with a winner!
I would give it a go if I were you! I think the most common join with these square is a very minimal one - even invisible mattress stitch. Thanks for watching.
The yarn is 4 Seasons Marvel Denim Effect (12ply). There's a fairly limited colour range - and they go by numbers not names, - but there is a dark blue and light blue a red and a pink and a dark grey and light gray. I believe there is two green colours too. This yarn is really lovely and soft and even though it's 12 ply, it's not super thick. It's about the same as a worsted weight, maybe a tiny bit thicker. I tend to use a 4mm hook with it, because I do like the denser stitch. Thanks for watching.
Great tutorial! I love it very very good directions.❤I've made 3 already in different colors made an orange one for my mom and she loves it! Thanks so much for making this tutorial!!!
Clovers are worth it in my opinion. I love them. They work for me - they shave minutes off of my rows because they are so smooth - I fly through the stitches. Tulips are nice- but I compared the same size back to back on a project I am currently working on, and I felt just a tad bit more friction with the tulip etimo red hook that I have. Not much… but noticed it. Went back to my clover ❤
Good instructions but you're not in camera range a lot of the time. Perhaps make a mark in your middle camera range on the background fabric so you would know where you are.
I like this way of joining granny squares. I can't wait to try it!. Could you tell me what the granny square pattern is and where I can find it? It is a beautiful pattern.
I love this join too!! Here is the link to the video for the square. Happy crochet to you! 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cev6UU8P7y4.html
I’m making this right now and it will be my first ever scarf! I just started to learn how to crochet 3 days ago and your video is very easy to understand and follow. I’ve searched everywhere for a V stitch scraf with straight edges and so glad I found your video. Thank you so much ❤
That's brilliant!! SO excited for you!. I hope you find other tutorials on here helpful. There are a couple of little amigurumi projects (like the heart) which you might find fuel your new found addiction!! HAPPY CROCHET xx
This afgan is beautiful and just what I was looking for! I saw your comment that approximately 90 diamonds were used. I'm comfortable making the diamonds and triangles. How did you join the diamonds? Do you have a video for the stitch that you used? Thanks in advance.... Yvonne
Hi Yvonne! Glad you love it. I have made so many blankets and this is by far the most eye catching. i love looking at it. Hopefully you'll love yours just as much. I WILL say that the joining is quite fiddly (I pinned all the diamonds together so I could start to join them) but the actual stitch is super easy. Here's the video on the stitch.
