How To Wash and Block Crochet & Knitting Projects 

I never knew about blocking. Thank you for the tutorial.

It's been years since I crocheted anything and just made a huge blanket for my future daughter in law......thanks for jogging my memory on blocking..... you're awesome ♥️

I've been crocheting most of my life and never learned to block. But after making my daughter's bff a cotton crochet granny halter top for her birthday I HAD to learn. I watched this video and am now wondering why I was afraid. I followed your instructions and it's now drying. I can't thank you enough for making everything look so easy that I will at least try it. 💕

Came to see after 8 yrs later !! After seeing Your Grandma ' s Cupboard Blanket !! So cool !! Thank You !! ❤ It !!

Just started crocheting and you are my FAVORITE to watch. Funny and very helpful. Keep the tutorials coming :)

You are simply awesome...love you. I realized I was smiling too while watching your video.Thank you so much.

Whew....wish I had your energy! lol Excellent instructions....thanks for the video.

Jayda, you are awesome! I always have a smile when there is a new video (I'm old lol) because I leave with a smile, every time!

Thank you! I admit I have never blocked a project. Been knitting and now some crochet since I'm in grade school. But I never learned how to do this. I really appreciate what you've shown us.

Hi! Great tutorial on blocking and very clear and understandable instructions no one should goof this up even me!!! Did not realize I should be blocking...opps!! Have made several baby blankets and just washed on gentle and threw in dryer because wrapper on yarn said I could...oh well hope they still look good....

I’ve been crocheting for a while, but I’m starting on my first afghan and really appreciated your explanation and tutorial!

Hi Jayda! You are precious, fun, and so easy to follow! I am learning so much from you and smiling through it all! Thank you so much for all your hell!! Blessings to you! 🤗

As usual super handy!! (almost finished with a blanket for a special little person) :D

That intro brightened my day!

Thanks for the directions. I really needed to know how to do this.

washing by hand was an awesome tip... because i have one of the kinda older washer with thing in the middle..... this very helpful...

Thank you for making things so simple and easy to follow. I watched another YTuber last year show a "how to" blocking technique and I was so confused that I said forget it and threw in the towel. Now I will use your technique and see how things work out. At least it is not complicated to follow your instructions.

Great thank you. Your very fun to watch you.

In your craft room there are many things on display that are adorable! If you get time please do a tutorial on anything you haven't done!

New subscriber! Love your energy! Thanks for the very clear and informative video :)

Such a learning show. thanks. Just on time for blooking my blanket baby.

thank you for the super helpful tutorial!! ❤️

Thank you for sharing your blocking instructions. By the way, I absolutely love your 🐰 applique.

Thank you! This was so helpful and easy to follow!♥️

Fun to watch even when am dozing during a project!

This is new to me. Thank you for sharing. ❤

I washed my 100% cotton baby blanket on warm and tumbled on low. Wish I had made it a bit bigger. It shrunk more then I thought it would . I did intend it to be for a summer stroller blanket and definitely is now. Not to big not to small. This was my very first baby blanket. I just love it. I hope my Daughter-in-law does too.

Very helpful, thank you 😊

THANK YOU Jayda!!! I just finished a king size blanket for my sister, & I made other blankets for my kids, & grandkids. & I wanted to wash them b4 I gave them to them..!! Love your vids!!! I've learned so much from you!!!

I loved that intro!! So very cute !

thank you. helped a lot to make my work look better x

Thanks so much for the video! I love your personality 😄

Thank you so much for sharing Jayda ! I was wondering what "blocking" was ..Now I know :D ..Great explanation and direction !

your videos are so helpful. and help. me get though. rough days 😀

Thank you for sharing this video now I know what blocking is God bless you

Thankyou Jayda showing us how to block! I just finished the 12 point star, looks great btw!! Now to blocking 🤔

You're super cute and adorable, Jayda 😘 I was smiling while watching you ☺️ Stay awesome!

thank you jayda!

How cute you are! Thank you for this video!! ❣️

Very effectively demonstrated. Thanks

Fantastic!

Thank you so much

Great info! I just started crocheting micro preemie and preemie blankets for sale & donation so this will definitely come in handy!

Aw! Love that cute little blanket! Good tips for washing I would've wrung my out and ruin the blanket. O.o

Thank you ❤

you have helped me crochet thank u xx

This was very helpful; thank you!

Hi Jayda. Love watching your channel! your positive attitude is infectious! I wanted to know would you recommend this approach (i.e. combining the granny squares first) if your granny squares are a bit off before joining them. My granny squares are a bit bent up and while they are the same size when I finger stretch them, they look a mess when I join. What would you recommend?

thank you i subscribed very very useful info

Love your intro.. My daughters flocked to my phone so fast

Great tutorial,thank you

Thanks. This has been helpful.

thank you for sharing another piece of your very useful information! I was wondering, if after the item has been washed and blocked, will the item look the same if the person receiving the gift washes and dries it using the machines? (assuming the yarn used can be washed and dried in machines) Or would the gift receiver have to wash and block it to keep it in the shape you block it in.

thank you..very informative

thats a nice blanket colors.

Thank you Jayda!!

i love your videos ❤❤❤

thank you for inspiring me

I love your show!!

So cute!! From Italy bye bye!!!!!

Hi Jayda! I see a T.A.R.D.I.S. behind you and I must ask if you have a crochet tutorial for it? If not, can you pretty, pretty please do one so I can make one for my youngster? I appreciate you sharing your talents and passions with the world. ☺

Thanks for your information 🌷

You should do a dog sweater! My sister has greyhounds that need to wear jackets to keep warm, and it would be so cute if they had little sweaters with their names and appliqués to wear! I found a pattern, but I'm hopeless at reading those! Please help Jayda, you're my only hope! (Love the show, by the way, you're so talented!)

This was awesome! Thank you so much!

Question: I have a dog and pet hair inevitably gets into my crochet projects. Can I put it into the dryer for a few minutes, before blocking it? Thanks!

Lol my grandma has the same washing machine as you!

Merci

Thanks for sharing!!

With acrylic yarn I tried washing and blocking didn't seen to work steam blocking worked a little better

hi Jayda, I love you and your site very much, you lift my spirits and make me smile all the time. My question is, after the blocking has been done the first time, does it need to be done after every wash there after ??

Thank you good information.

New subscriber. I have literally watched 10 different videos on blocking and this was the one that made the most sense and was the easiest to follow and it was the least complicated. Thank you so much. For 100% wool yarn what kind of soap should I use if I don’t have wool wash?

Hi Jayda I have a few crocheted blankets and I haven't washed them yet . I just watched your video on how to wash and how to block the blanket . I don't have any room to put my blankets to blocked them is there any other way to dry and block them do you have any other ways to dry and block them ? Do have to block your blanket every time you make a blanket ?

Jayda, we need a how to crocheted carseat tent. ☺

Hi Jayda, just came across your video and found it very helpful. could you please answer some questions? ;) I am busy knitting a top with a honeycomb stitch. Now.....was given the top and asked to knit one......so my problem is, the original top is very stretched out .....do I make the one smaller then block it to that size? I already had to pull it all out as the decrease on the one side all unraveled and the other side of neck was fine. So now I am a bit edgy to restart again. thank you so much for this video, regards Dunia :) :)

I'm doing a c2c baby blanket.The size I made it is 36 blocks ×50 blocks rectangular almost crib size.Have troubles put on a border.It starts with chain 2 single crochet all around to form base.The troubles I'm having is when I go to do the scalloped edges to get them even and on point in the corners.Have any ides tia.Love your show:

Hello Jayda😍 This morning I saw your video for the first time, Its a nice video thank you for your help, I know how to crochet but in a different way so now I am trying to learn your way😍👍 Thanks again, Have a great morning with a smile😍 Nov 28,16 On a Monday

your looking great ☺

Dear Jayda, Help Please! For a pure-wool waffle stitch 1.4-meter-long scarf, would dry-cleaning also work? I am about to present the scarf to my father-in-law for his 90th birthday. My mother-in-law is, I'm afraid, totally capable of putting it in the washer and would not understand what all this blocking is about. If I ask them to let me wash the scarf, come that time, I could generate a major family fuss. -- Thanks so much. Love your videos with your scintillating self as the star. Have one-and-a-half of your projects in my plans to do.

Can you do some crochet projects that are good for summer? Your videos are great!!

By the way I do love videos. Thank you. ,

Just a thought. Does it only need to be blocked once ? Or every time it needs a wash ?

I have a Crochet Poncho and was wondering if I should put it into a mesh bag and then put it in the washing machine.

plz start knitting also plzzzz you r a beautiful super teacher

im in a wheelchair and cant get on the floor and also live with several other people and dogs so i cant really leave a blanket spread on the floor. what suggestions do you have?

Awesome video! (: I love your energy! One question: do items need to be re-blocked after every wash?

Thank you Jayda, I had a question do you have to wash. Your crochet items? Thank you your crochet friend Sue💕

Hi Jayda completed triangles for a throw and have to join it now. Looking for a join method that will give me a smooth and neat back and front seam. Please help browsed other tutorials but don't find the stitch that suit my project. Thank you Kay SA

Hi! I am new to crocheting, and I like your channel! I wanted to ask where in Canada I can buy some nice yarn (except the Michaell's and Walmart), online or in person?

Are you using stainless steel pins I failed to do that and I had little rust spots on my blanket 😞

I have interlocking foam blocking squares. Can I use those or do I need the towels to absorb the extra water in the project?

Hi I would RELLY appreciate if you could crochet a dog sweater because I have looked everywhere for a pattern but I'm rubbish at reading patterns so I would love you to show how to make one thankyou:)

I love ur videos, they are so cheery and informative. Im new to blocking and was wondering if once u block, do they stay that way after ever wash from then on?

ty

Thank you! Very helpful tutorial. I love the baby blanket! Do you have a pattern available?

Just the video i wanted 🥰🥰 I made the 12 point star blanket from your tutorial video. How can we share our projects with you?

I have just begun knitting recently. I watched the blocking video . I made a few scarfs as gifts for Christmas. They were all curled up like cigars! I was not concerned because I planned to block them. I did everything as the video shows. After three days it was completely dry and when I unpinned it it rolled right back up! I am kind of devastated because I have no idea where I made a mistake. Did I knit them wrong? I just used a #4 acrylic yarn and just did all knitting. Do you have any advice please? Thankyou so much!
