My mother did this stitch! It’s WONDERFULLY fluffy! She left an unfinished blanket when she died and I couldn’t figure out how to finish it. ☹️ She was a lefty and I just couldn’t figure it out by unstitching and reverse engineering it. I’ve tried and tried for 15 YEARS! You have NO IDEA what this tutorial means to me. 😥 Thank You SO MUCH! ❤️
This was so sweet of ur mother… n I’m working on this same pattern for blankets for my boys in hopes they will keep them to remember me💜thanks for this small story I hope u were able to finish it n remember ur mom loved u so much be blessed
I learned crochet and knitting from my grandmothers when I was young and I hadn't done it in decades...Ill be 48 next week and I have been crocheting for the past year daily and it's great for pain and also not smoking! Keep it up and feel better. Lalania in Middletown CT
So im a guy and teaching myself how to crochet to relax after work. Ive watched over a dozen different videos and this one made it so much easier. Thank you for sharing with us
Very grateful for this tutorial! I completed an entire blanket last week, and am starting a new one right now and always use this video for a reference! I am giving my 3 best friends a blanket for Christmas, because everyone should own a blanket from a loved one! Thank you!
I'm 12 and I just started crocheting 2 days ago and this is so easy to follow!! I've done about half of it so far and this is probably the easiest tutorial I've seen. Thank you!!❤
This will help me a lot, thank you!!!! I am on the younger side (of life, I guess. Lol) so this slow and easy tutorial will really help me. My mom is due in April and I really want to make the baby a blanket. When I set the playback speed to 0.25, it's really easy to follow. I just ordered the supplies and I can't wait to start! Especially since school is closed and I'll have a long time to do it. Thanks sooooo much!!!
@@pieyield2255 well i wanted to start this but my mom ordered me a kit with different projects. i've not started it yet but I am making a cluster scarf and it is turning out well. i'm starting this in a few days. thanks!
Hi there! 60 this year and just started learning how to crochet. So, I am very much a beginner. Would love to make this blanket for my son. He is 6' tall so I would like something he can wrap up in. Like 48" x 60" something like that. How can I figure out how many skeins of yarn to buy for this blanket? Also, do I need to use a 10 hook or can I use my largest which is a 6? Please don't laugh I am a beginner like I said. Thanks!
Of all the beginner videos this one by far helped me the most! They were all good but this one was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. I will have my nephew’s blanket ready before he makes his debut 💙
You actually are counting the loop on the hook, so you’re really going into the second loop, not the third to begin with. I think there is something that is lost in translation between you (UK) and me (US). I’ve never seen anyone count that loop as one to start with, sorry.
I realize with this stitch, you should make your chain as long as you want the blanket. Not the width but the length. Because you want the nice ribbed lines going top to bottom of the blanket, lengthwise- not left to right
Thank you very much for this great tutorial. Lovely blanket! I've just resumed crocheting after many years break, and this is perfect for me to ease back into a project. Really clear, and great pace. :)
I am 13 wanting to start a big project since a while and here we are today i got the rest of the supplies I didn’t have as the thick yarn am I will start now let’s see where we will end up at ♥️♥️
I was 11 when my grandma taught me but the same as you she went so fast with it. Well over the years i taught myself how to crochet thru beginner videos just like this and I found a list somewhere online on how to read patterns and since then I can crochet just about anything so keep at it it's pretty fun and definitely a good skill to continue on even down to your kids 😄
Who’s here in 2018? I am! 😉 thank you for this easy tutorial. I’m not a beginner however, every time I start a new project I always end up quitting because it takes such a long time to finish something. I’m going to start this today. Let’s hope I finish it. Seems super easy and this tutorial gave me motivation to start crocheting again. Thank you! 😉
This is exactly what I was about to ask. I want to try this for a gift, but I don't have a lot of free time! How many hours do you think it will take a non skilled person, give or take?
Victoria H. I'm 2018! &a beginner with tons of unfinished projects. It's hard to find time to sit and finish whole blanket. Not even do much as time but patients....I get bored after the 3rd row
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am making a blanket for my great grandmother who has recently gone to a convalescent home and she isn’t adjusting well and is always cold. This will be for her lap and I’m just so grateful to you for explaining this so clearly so a beginner like me can knock one out in a few days for her 💚
I love this pattern. Always have trouble making the edges straight. Do you chain 2 or 3 at the end of each row? I thought I heard “chain 3,” then at the other end, “chain 2.” 😊 Thank you.
I. Love. You. My mother tried to teach me to crochet when I was 10 or 11, but I always got bored after finishing the foundation chain. FFWD a yr or 2 & I graduated to the sc...I thought. Unfortunately my mother wasn't very patient so instead of asking to b shown repeatedly, I decided to wing it. 👍 After crocheting, unraveling, crocheting, unraveling (literally thousands of times), getting beyond frustrated, retiring, deciding to give it yet another go, (even buying a few books) all so many times over the last 20+ yrs, I'm @ it again! This time though, there's RU-vid! I've watched several 'Beginner Friendly' vids, but they aren't quite "beginner enough". Thank u for being such a conscientious, patient teacher. Until your video, no one's been able to crack my "crochet thickness". Yay! 👏👏😍
I’ve been crocheting for 54 years, this is the first time I’ve used this stitch in repetition and the end result is one of the most beautiful blankets that I have made. Thank you for such a clear and concise tutorial.
I made two. One 10 crochet hook and 5 skeins of bernat blanket. Large ones. I think 90 chains. Can’t remember. I did another one 15 crochet hook. 4 bernat blanket big ones. 72 stiches across. But I ruined it adding a border. The first one I added a shell border and it wasn’t great but no big holes like second one. First one big enough for 2 people to snuggle.
@@Jessica-kd2md it took 3 years for someone to respond to me, bur you are a SAINT. Idk why i was even asking 3 years ago, i just learned how to crochet in december and i am not blanket ready
@@AbLaV I disk the even look at the time stamp!! Haha and np happy to help. Just keep practicing the better you understand what your doing the easier and faster things happen :)
Who's here in 2020. I learnt how to make a bag from a close friend after I finished the bag I decided to try another thing and this video is really helping like alot
Here in 2020 keeping busy during pandemic. Does anyone know how to finish this blanket does it need an edge around it or is it ok as is also how to you add a new color in?
Probably a very silly question, but do you have to half treble crochet into the chain2 that you do in each row turn to keep the sides straight, or just into the top of the three chains in the first row? Does that make any sense at all? Sorry - complete novice!
Why do you chain 3 extra on the bottom row but on the next row chain only 2 extra? I’m a beginner and I keep messing up and it may be because of my tension.
Thank you for this tutorial! I am a BEGINNER and I've made 3 blankets and a little baby blanket. My family and friends think I'm some kind of expert! 😉
Thank you for the Ribbed/Ridged -Super Chuncky demonstration. I have benefited a lot. I now know that where the hook passes matters and makes different patterns. Your demonstrations are very useful indeed.
im 11 years old and i really wanted to crochet so my dad took me to the store and got me a hook and yarn and the first tutorial i followed was a scarf one and it turned into a bowl lol but this tutorial actually worked
This was amazing ! I loved your clear instructions and the way you showed every step without fast forwarding which was really helpful for a beginner like me!cheers!
This is such a simple, easy, and beautiful pattern! I love it! Just found it in March 2019! I am sure I will be making this! Great instruction! Thank you!
kimberleydaisy any ideas about a good border. My favorite pattern for bernat blanket, but can’t figure out a good border. Used shell border and was ok using 10 hook. But I really messed up the second one using a 15 hook with the shell border
When you got to the last stitch @7:40, you go in through both loops and not just the back one. Do you do that every time for the last stitch on both sides or just that row? Thank you I love your channel!
I like how at 3:28 you didn't apologize. You made a mistake & didnt feel like you had to a be protectionist by saying sorry for something you so obviously did on accident. Most ppl on YT say sorry every move. You got a like👍☺
Your pattern is going to work out great for me because I'm still a beginner.The reason I say that is, that I don't know how to read a pattern. By watching videos that is how I learn, so thank you for sharing. I'm sure I'll see more of you. One more thing, I like the Fluffy Clouds blanket too. Judy :)
My mother taught me to do this when I was very little. I still dont hold the hook the right way but I can go fast and love learning how to do different things. Some day I may learn to read a pattern
@@christinebanalewicz5957 So are you an adult now if you are,same cuz I'm a kid and my mom told me to take interest in crochet to see if I liked it and I sure do! :)
It's never too late to learn! I'm 68 and just started crocheting a year ago. I can't get enough of the baby blankets. Using the larger yarn is more satisfying to me and the blankets build quickly. Thank you SO much for showing me this stitch. I'm going to start one right now.
You can do any number you like, depends what dimension you want your finished blanket to be - there’s some really great charts online with recommended blanket sizes 🩵
I used this wool to make a blanket for my grandsons cot. I just used single crochet but the same idea I used less wool but this pattern is pretty . My son Requested I make another one for my next grandson due in November so I will do your pattern so there is a point of difference . Thanks xoxo
I do not understand why so many crocheters make making a slip knot so difficult! It's one little step, no need to put this yarn here and that over there and wrap it around your finger and -- what? 4 steps? It's one step!
I’m an ABSOLUTE beginner !! I would LOVE to learn how to crochet 🧶 I want to do a baby blanket for my first grandchild AVA !! I do suffer chronic medical conditions that affect especially memory and fatigue but I think I would really enjoy it !! I’m going to try anyway so I may have to watch this quite a few times lol 😂 but I’m willingly !! Thank you for sharing !!! ❤️❤️❤️ NZ 😊
Love this! I have crocheted many times but with this video for a simple afghan has taught me new techniques! Thank you! Simple, instructive and visually clear!
Could someone help me? Brand new beginner & I want to use this pattern for a 40"x40" blanket. But baby has already been born (5 weeks old). I don't have time to learn how to guage how many stitches I need. Could some tell me how many stitches should be in my foundation row, and how many rows to crochet? It doesn't have to be perfect! Thank you so very much!! 😍
I’ve been searching for a simple first crochet project for a baby blanket. I’m expecting my first and my granny used to always crochet blankets for the babies coming into the family. I think this is definitely something I can follow and hopefully I can make a beautiful little blanket for my tiny one.
Hi it's me again I noticed that your pattern on the right side and on the left side go in and out I'm trying to make the edges flash with each other but it's not working or am I supposed to have the edges go in and out like that you just need to have a bottle three hour class devoted to need to teach me what are you doing I 70 years old they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but I'm Tryan😂🐶
Don't worry, it's no problem. Yes, the sides of this design do go in and out slightly, but once there's a border around it, you don't see it at all :) My 'Easiest Border Ever' tutorial looks lovely with this blanket. Rebekah.
@@BlossomCrochet Thanks Rebekah for your replies that are helping me as a beginner. i'm not sure if your tutorial for this blanket gave the amount of base chain stitches needed for -say- a double or queen size blanket because i am deaf, can you tell me how many i would need? and what are chains in multiples of??
Lynn Thigpen you can use 2 colour wools twist then crochet together as though just one. Or you can knot together the first way is the neatest I’ve done both. Good luck 😊
My nana taught me how 2 years ago and I forgot. And I wanted to make her a blanket because shes in the hospital right now and I'm not allowed to go in so I want to give her something to warm her because she warms my heart so i want to warm hers.
I am nearing the end of my 15th, half treble crochet blanket! I simply cannot express what your video, has shown me! Thank you (& Stylecraft Super Chunky yarn) for showing me how to do, what brings me, sincere JOY!
I love this tutorial! I never crocheted before but definitely want to try it out . Quick question how do you finish the project? Do you need to tie it a specific way at the end?..
I made this for my new granddaughter. Started on a Friday evening and finished Sunday afternoon. Easy to follow instructions. Thank you so much. It was my first project as I was teaching myself how to crochet.
@@nicolethomas3809 I used the Bernat Yarnspirations Baby Blanket. Each ball has 220 yds/201 m, I used about 2 3/4 balls for the size I was looking for.
I wanted to start knitting. So I asked my wife to buy me some yarn and needles. She accidentally bought me crochet hooks. At first, I was very intimidated but I’ve been working hard at it. Now I am quite literally hooked! Can’t wait to make this for my daughter. You’ve made a great video here and explain things in great detail! Thank you
