Beautiful!! Thank you so much Alison! I could listen to you talk an teach all day, your voice is so soothing and patient. I'm off to making my own pompom blanket, thank you again.
Fab thank you i wasn't doing every bail on the even sude no wonder it wouldn't work. I also agree you should have surpassed the 100,000 ages ago your channel is brilliant. You one of only a few I know on youtube who STILL take the time to answer your comments. Xxx
ha ha ha I was washing dishes and my computer was on and i heard a voice nearly pooped myself... it was my own voice on a video i was watching youtube and i went to do the dishes and one of my own videos came on it was hilarious I thought who the heck is that...
Hello I made a blanket following your instructions. I still have gaps and can see through if you know what I mean. If I was to do more rounds would this help fill in the gaps? Thanks for a amazing tutorial x
Hi Alison. How many balls of yarn (and ball sizes) will I need for pram size blanket if doing 2 colours? Fantastic video by the way. Going to make my first one! Thanks.
I can't find anywhere, and I think I've looked everywhere. How much yarn does it take to make a full sized blanket? I want to make one but I don't want to not have enough. Thanks
It is absolutely amazing but I am totally confused 😂 I really loved watching the video and the blanket is gorgeous but I will leave the making of it to you wonderful ladies who can do this 😂, I suppose I could make a video of how “not to make a Pom Pom blanket” I am sure it would be hilarious 🤣.
LMAO we could do a collaboration, apparently our skills are evenly matched on this😂 I wish I could ever actually make something like this, but alas, it would be an absolute dumpster fire if I even tried. Still fascinating to watch talented people like this lovely lady make one though.
Well I'm a man, totally bored with the Covid Lock downs here in Australia, I've made up a frame (had spare wood and nails in the shed), found some of my mum's old wool from before she passed, and I'm going to give it a go.. If I can do it.. anyone can :) Come on Trisha, accept the challenge :D
Fantastic video and slow enough for my brain. Going to attempt my first blanket now I've seen this video. How many balls of 100g balls of wool would you recommend?
Hi Alison, I have just finished my first pom-pom blanket and I’m quite happy with it , especially as it’s my first. The loom I bought has 2 inch spacing, Is this why you can see some of the white wool base between the pom-poms? I did 5 rounds and 5 rounds using 4 strands of DK. Love watching your videos.
I wanted to let you know that I tried my hand at making this and I wanted to share the end results with you. Thank you for inspiring me♥️ can you tell me how I can send u the picture of it completed?
Spray them with water and pop it into the dryer on warm for 10min. Did you do 5 rounds? A lot of people who sell theres do 6 rounds for the pom poms to make them more compact but have to tie it nice and tight.
Hi Addison .Wanted 2 no if u can help me. This is my 1st time doing a Pom Pom blanket. I’m doing 1 row white Pom and 1 row pink Pom and I’m using a shuttle 2 tie off. I’ve tied along the 1st row, because I’m doing every other row 4 this blanket (which will b row 1,3,5,etc) now I’m at end of row have 2 skip next row. How do I go to row 3 from row 1 at the edge with the shuttle. Hope this is clear.
tie your odd number lines 1st tie off with your shuttle, cut the wool then go back to so rows 2, 4, 6 etc. Its up to you you can even tie each line separately if you want, there are no hard and fast rules. I used to tie each line then secure it with a few knots. as my makeshift shuttle didn't hold a lot of wool. I used 2 strands together to tie for extra security.
Thx sooooo much Addison. I said if I didnt hear from u I would just tie end of row then go 2 row 3. Thx, I'm having fun. Can't wait 2 see how it comes out
Great video! it's really beautiful! but in this size, how would you use it? or is it for a baby? it's a genuine question because I really want to make it but in this size is too small
They are made to put on the top most cover of a pram/stroller. not over the baby but on top of the pram cover you get with your pram. Older children love them as cuddle blankets. but not for very small babies, they can't regulate their heat the way older toddlers can. they are used to decorate the pram itself. older adults love them as knee blankets and depending on the size of frame you have you can make them as big as you like. In other countries they make them as top covers for freezers and fridges and floor mats.
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel thank you for the reply my hubby said h will make me one , I had one my angel dad made me in my school days that was one inch but way back then it was only tray clothes and for my dolls (oh the good old days) best wishes to you from sue in Pembrokeshire xx
Hi, I have made this blanket & tied it so tight that we got blisters a lot! Even after doing this the Pom Poms r still coming apart when gently tugged is there anything I can do to fix this after it’s off the loom as I don’t want to have to put it in the bin it’s really big & took a lot of work?
Did you use a shuttle or tie it by hand? I were woolen gloves with the very tip of the fingers cut off I use double yarn and yank once i get it through the loop as hard as I can. You can also twist the loop before you feed the shuttle through this will give a twisted tighter knot.
Alison Russell's Crochet and Craft Channel hi, yeah I done the same but it doesn’t seem to have held it, my fingers were so sore & broken, is there anyway of making it stronger after its came off the loom?
8 100g balls should make 2 blankets on a standard size loom. the same amount will make 1 larger blanket, you might have some left over. my small loom is a demo size.
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel . Thank you Alison. I'll try doing one less round. My pegs are as you instructed so I reckon it mus be the thickness. Thanks for being there! Jane
you will find a shuttle so much easier now most of the videos show how to tie them with a shuttle have a look they all show how to tie once the yarn is wound onto the frame.
that is amazing , Just Subscribed , got to find something to do to stop me biting my nails and am going to start crocheting again but i am so wanting to make this blanket
you should still be able to get around the loom with 4 balls of yarn (used at the same time) 4 on your 1st colour and 4 of the other (you can use 50g balls) 4 100g balls of each should give you 2 blankets
Love your tutorials Alison.. just want to ask about putting a non slip backing on ..can you tell me what backing you use and how to fix it on back of my blanket. ..thanks
Hi, Joanna, I have never backed one of these types of pom pom blanket. I did make a pom pom rug by tying pom poms to the non-slip backing roll from B&M Bargains. They sell it at the rug dept. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1dpGFCWimoM.html
Love all your videos very informative easy to follow instructions thank you Alison for all your hard work in bringing us these videos I do so wish I could afford to become a member but disability doesn't pay enough I'm so sorry 💯👏🏻❤️💛💚💙💜👍🏻🇬🇧
Don't you worry, and never be sorry about that, you can join my facebook group it's free and a fab bunch of crafters we are too. xxx Thank you for watching my channel that is support enough for me.
If you do the pom pom lines going up and down the even nails you will always have it start on a pink row and end on a white row of pom poms. if you want it to start on a pink row of pom poms and end on a pink row you have to go up and down the ODD nails. Turn the frame so it is like a piece of A4 paper the shorter sides top and bottom.
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel thank you, i have sorted it out now i think but i will only have avshort fringe as i have had to use the first and last rows as row 1 and row 17. I love all your videos and this is the first one i have had problems with. Think i have been havng senior moments
Most people have one around your size for the top of standard baby prams. Some people make them much bigger for bed toppers for older kids and adults. Lots of people who make and sell them have different sizes for car seat covers, strollers, big baby prams, and just as a warm comforter.
Hey Allison, what awesome work. I love Pom poms. I’m following your tutorial for my 1st Pom Pom blanket. I am stumped a little. I’ve tied my 1st row, I’m at the end of 1st row using the shuttle. Now how do I get to row 3 with the shuttle. Because you are doing row 1,3,5 etc(every other row). The video doesn’t show how to get to row 3 from row 1. Hope I’ve explained it ok.
tie it off cut your yarn and move to your next row if you want. there is no hard rules to tying all over at once you can do it in lines if that helps you.
can I ask what the frame is called that you are using for the blanket? I want to try and make these but need the materials first. Thank you. Subscribed to your channel.
Weare woollen gloves with the fingertip cut off that's what I used to do or make yourself a shuttle from a small spanner it works just as good as the fishing net repair shuttles that everyone uses now.
Hello my dear I’ve been watching your videos for a while now I’ve managed to make 3 blankets now I’m in the middle of making this blanket I’m this viedo I’m abit stuck though as my bored is a lot bigger also is it possible to make 2 blankets and turn it into one big blanket xx Thank you xx
Zoe they don't look nice sewn together its better to have a one off huge loom to do big blankets. I saw a lady in my group Craftytwunts art and crafts on face book whose husband made her a loom the size of a door. He had partitions in it she could move around via holes in the frame to slide bolts through to make either 3 standard size blankets at once or remove a bar and make a lap size one and a standard and also a smaller bar to make car seat sizes so she can either fill the whole frame with different sizes or just use half of the frame for one blanket the outer frame made a single bed size .
I have seen it where the diagonal yarn (white) is the same color and it would be the same amount of yarn as the first part. But, it seems everyone does their blankets differently and a little bit the same.
This is just a small size, I don't have this now so I don't know the dimensions when its off the frame. I will give you a tip what I do to find a size of blanket. Google it and most of the time the person making it will state the size as they have to if the sell them. or if you have facebook join my craft group craftytwunts art and crafts my friends in there still make them they will know the size of all the diffrent ones.
