//FAQs??
-How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How much yarn do I need?
Unfortunately, I will be able to answer individuals questions about how much yarn you would used do to multiple factors affecting it. Such as, your tension, the size of hook and the yarn being used.
-What equipment do you use?
Camera: amzn.to/2jkNDl2

It's so wonderful to find left-handed instructions, and with a video! I learned from my mother, who was left-handed, many years ago and have just started crocheting again after a very long time. My mom isn't with us anymore, and no one else in my family crochets or is left-handed. Thank you so much; your instructions are very easy to follow!

I feel like the fluffiness of this yarn would confuse me really easily, but I like the stitch repeat so I may try it with some standard chunky or super chunky yarn :) I have been struggling with my end stitches a little, but having more success since I started using a stitch marker

@candycanevzh7630 2 года назад

Thank you for this left handed instruction! I was watching and attempting to try with what I had on hand (regular yard and a smaller crochet hook and it worked out fine for learning purposes but it felt wonky like trying to write with my right hand but I did a chain anyway. Then I read in your description and saw this left handed version! I’m so excited! My goal is to make a couple baby blankets in the same color and pattern of 2 of my baby blankets made by my paternal grandmother I never really knew. I have these baby blankets she crocheted for me and I have pictures and stories from others. I intend to watch your beginner video(s) you mentioned so I don’t try to bite off more than I can chew and subsequently get frustrated and quit. 😬 Thanks again! ❤️

Thank you for the beautiful blanket pattern. I've been crocheting since a child and I'm a South paw. It was such a treat to have instructions for lefty. I would like a conversion chart of alphabet - mm for size of hook. My hooks only have alphabet.

@bellacococrochet 4 года назад

You are so welcome, I don't have a chart for hook sizes with the alphabet on them sorry. You may be able to google it, I did have a quick look for you and only the US chart came up so not sure if this is what you are looking for, anyway here you are:- Metric diameter US Knitting Needle Number Corresponding Crochet Hook Size 2.25 mm 1 B-1 2.75 mm 2 C-2 3.25 mm 3 D-3 3.5 mm 4 E-4 3.75 mm 5 F-5 4 mm 6 G-6 (Boye G-6 is 4.25mm) 4.5 mm 7 7 5 mm 8 H-8 5.5 mm 9 I-9 6 mm 10 J-10 6.5 mm 10.5 K-10.5 8 mm 11 L-11 9 mm 13 M/N-13 10 mm 15 N/P-15 12.75 mm 17 - 15 mm 19 P/Q 16 mm - Q 19 mm 35 S 25 mm 50 U

Hi Barbara, I'm a lefty too and this is the best & most versatile video I have found on U-tube. She has so many helpful things recorded I'm having a hard time choosing what I want to do. Besides all that, you can find a chart on the net that will show you the letttered hooks ratio to the millimeter hooks. Check out Safari or Google I'm sure they have a chart that can help you. You can always use whichever hook looks best & is easiest to use you know? Hope this helps, us lefties have to stick together! Patty 🧓

How many stitches and rows would you do for this fessing if you were using a 2-3ply yarn?x

@gabi111i 3 года назад

hi ! what should i do it my blanket is bending into a smile-like shape ? loving this tut btw :)

@bellacococrochet 3 года назад

If the bottom of your blanket is curving it's usually because the starting chain is too tight; you can try to crochet the chain more loosely or go up a hook size for the chain stitches only 😊

@mommylizyu 2 года назад

Love your detailed instructions for us left handed people! I have a question for you, though. My work became hooked starting the second and third row. What am I doing wrong? How do I make sure that the blanket turns out even? Again, thank you, in advance.

@bellacococrochet 2 года назад

I'm glad you find my instructions helpful! 😊 Have you made sure that you're working into every stitch along, including the top of the turning chain when you reach the end of the row? Missing this will cause the sides to become uneven.

@mommylizyu Год назад

@@bellacococrochet I apologize for not seeing your reply sooner. I have, actually, tried to make other blankets and they are less crocked on the sides. I guess that practice makes perfect. Thank you, again.

@nancylopez3251 3 года назад

I really enjoyed watching you make this baby blanket !! I’m just learning to crochet and am left-handed. My biggest problem so far is I can’t hold my yarn!! It winds up next to my hook and off my fingers, etc !! Is this a common problem for new crocheters?? I finally found a place where I can try to learn crocheting and knitting for left-handed people--so happy over that, want to thank you for giving us “lefties” a chance” to learn...👏👏👏 I am 74 yrs old, but you never get too old to learn, do you? May God God bless you dearly... Nancy Lopez. 🌹🌷🌺🌸🤗🤗🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

@bellacococrochet 3 года назад

Thank you so much, I’m glad my tutorials have helped you and I find it really inspiring that you are learning a new skill at 74 😊 I find that holding the yarn is something that will get better with practise; you might find that the way I show in the tutorial doesn’t suit you and that you prefer a different method instead. This is absolutely fine as there is no right and wrong method to crochet 😊

@PatriciaMaund 3 месяца назад

Go for it Nancy. It will become easier as you get more familiar and practice.

@bellacococrochet 2 года назад

If you want your blanket to be bigger then chain until you have the length you want :)

@almostaliceng Год назад

I had the same concern. I was wondering if there was a certain number to go by.... multiples

@planetkatie43 2 месяца назад

Hi there - I think that I would be able to create this blanket with your amazing instructions. However, I would like it to go on a chair for an adult. Is it easy to make it bigger and what size would you suggest? How many stitches instead of 53?

@bellacococrochet 2 месяца назад

Yes you can make it as big a you like, just chain until you have the width you want then keep going until you have the length that you want :)

How many chains would I need if I wanted to do this blanket for myself instead? X❤

@bellacococrochet 9 месяцев назад

This would depend on the type of yarn you will be using, your hook size and your personal tension. I would suggest that you either do a small swatch and work it out from there or chain until you reach the size that you want :)

@bellacococrochet Год назад

Make sure you're working into the top of the turning chain at the end of each row - it looks different to a normal stitch and if you miss it then you'll have one less stitch each time 😊

@lynnlaviolette1609 3 года назад

I have been trying to make this blanket for months now. I have ripped it out so many times. I cannot get the edges straight. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I wanted to make this for my daughter's baby shower which is now a week and a half away. Any suggestions? Any tips? j

@bellacococrochet 3 года назад

The sides of the blanket should stay fairly straight as long as you are working into each stitch correctly. Have you tried using stitch markers to help you count out the stitches along each row? 😊

@lynnlaviolette1609 3 года назад

@brookedenny1402 2 года назад

Is it alright to have a 10mm

@bellacococrochet 2 года назад

If you use a larger hook size than recommended you may find that your blanket is looser looking, with bigger spaces in between the stitches. I would make a small swatch before you begin a full sized blanket to make sure you're happy with how it looks 😊

@vickyward6326 7 месяцев назад
