I’m a beginner crocheter and I made this, my first baby blanket for my first great grandchild. The tutorial was great and clear instructions for making this. I enjoyed making this blanket and excited to give it to my granddaughter at her baby shower.
Thank you for your clear instructions and beautiful calm voice. I was chased away from another baby blanket video because I couldn’t stand the high pitch instruction that sounds like screaming to my ears. I can’t thank you enough for your calmness.
This is the biggest project I’ve made and I feel so accomplished. I only did two rows of single crochet because I was running low on yarn but it still looks just as cute with the scalloped edge. I can’t wait to give this to my friend’s baby!
I just finished this blanket and it is beautiful! I will be starting another blanket today but I am having a hard time deciding which one to do, thank you so much for giving me so many lovely choices 🤗
Thank you so much!!! I'm so happy you're happy with it! I'm sure your daughter will love it :). Thanks for your wonderful comment and for making my pattern!
I subscribed as i am new to crocheting after 60 years of knitting and am enjoying it. Your instructions on this and other creations are so easy to understand. I have looked at a lot of patterns on RU-vid and yours are the ones who stand out for instructions. I am looking forward to many more creations from you.
Beautiful easy blanket clear instructions and Jo. You are a great teacher you take your time and explain I'm a beginner and I'm making this blanket for my stepdaughter🙂
I’m not a beginner, but would you believe this is the first time I’ve seen/made anything with this stitch? I’m making a baby blanket for a co-worker with Bernat Baby Sport in light lilac. Very clear instructions, and you’re right: it’s hard to lose your place! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Cheri for your comment! It’s one of those stitches that isn’t used too often but I think makes a beautiful pattern for a blanket and it’s easy to pick up anytime. The light lilac should look beautiful! I hope you enjoy making it!
Thank you for this sweet pattern and tutorial! Used this for a lovey and a pacifier keeper! Have made other baby blankets that had the shell pattern made with lots of double crochets. They take a ton of yarn and take SO LONG to make! This one has such a wonderful texture and was so fun to crochet! The shell border is similar to others I’ve made … love that this one is finished with a border that gives the edges extra structure! Learned so much from this and had many inspirations as to how to use this for other items. Thanks again!❤️
This blanket turned out beautifully! I'm still working on the boarder, but I'm in love. I used a soft pink and gray for a baby due in may. Thankyou so much for sharing such a special blanket with us!
Thank you. ❤ Ive just finished a lovely blue blanket for my recently arrived grandson. I haven't crocheted since i was ten years old.but it turned out beautifully. 🥰
I never add a shell border because the pattern never seems to work out right. Thank you so much for explaining how to make the adjustments. I can't wait to try this on my next project. Great tutorial!
Thanks for this video. I just found out I’m pregnant and I’m going to crochet a gender neutral baby blanket for now. I’m so excited to make baby things!
Oh my goodness, Congratulations!!! Have so much fun. There is something very special about crocheting baby things while pregnant. I’m so excited for you!
I just finished this blanket for my niece that is due to have a girl in October. It went faster than I anticipated. It’s so pretty with multiple colors of pink. Thanks for sharing!😊 I have 2 more girl blankets to make. I may just do this pattern again.
@@jototheworldcreations I do. My go to for baby blankets was always the shell stitch until I did a baby blanket for a friend’s daughter that was worried that a crochet blanket would cause toe tangles for the baby. I seen the seed stitch pattern and tried it. It worked up easily and fast.
That's great! I haven't heard this particular combinations of stitches called the seed stitch before. I've always seen it called the Lemon Peel stitch. However, I know there are lots of different names for the same combinations of stitches :).
Glad I found you. First sub from Germany here. I will try this pattern. I crochet and knit baby blankets all year for babies in Romania. You are so quiet and calm. Very comforting.
Thank you for this. It is a great pattern and walk through. I just learned to crochet during 2020 via RU-vid. This made a great blanket for a friend that is fostering a baby and will make a great blanket for the baby to take along wherever she goes.
I can't wait to try this, I'm new to crochet and this is just what you need as a beginner. Really pretty and really simple. (I'm glad I'm not the only person with dog hair problems!)
Made this for a baby gift. Love it! But I did the shell stitch continually even around the corners, and it still turned out nice. Thanks for an easy tutorial!
I noticed that you alternate the direction that you yarn over (I'm only at the first row part of the video), is this for design, structure, or is just the way you tend to go about it?
Hi, I alternate stitches between single crochet and double crochet but yarn over in the same direction. I would be happy to provide more information if you’d like to email me at jototheworldcreations@gmail.com and I can answer any questions you have! Thanks!
I couldn't make out the states used in the afghan but after reading what you said I know this stitching, I used it many times and it's 1 of my favorite.
I was a bit nervous starting this blanket for a really good friend of mine. Shes having her first baby and wanted to make aomething special for her. But your instructions are so clear and easy to follow!! Thank you so much ❤
Wow I’ve always been into crocheting when I was younger but I couldn’t really grasp what I was doing and the RU-vid videos were so hard to understand and now I’ve made my first blankie for my own child it’s rainbow themed🌈 😭😭🙌 thank you!
@@jototheworldcreations All well here dear. We want to welcome my great-grandson in November, in Canada, by the Grace and Mercy of God. Was looking for a simple baby blanket. God bless you.💞💞💞
A very simple easy stitch thank you for explaining it really well pointing out the little details is extremely helpful specially for beginners. Thank you 🌺
That blanket is protect for our granddaughter, Maddie Rae, due at the end of May. Our two older grandkids have several crotchet blankets that I made for them. Our grandson, loves the Texas Longhorns, I made a single crochet blanket and use a pattern my students used in class, connect the ordered pairs. Crossed stitched the longhorn in the center, Texas on the top and Longhorns in the bottom. He’s 16 yrs old, he was
Just found your site ...liked and subbed and going to do this pattern for sure! I have 3 white furboys and a tarbaby girl...you wanna talk cathair? I work with my project in a plastic bag! Lol!
Thank you for this pattern it’s nice and easy and so pretty and delicate I making it for my granddaughter who my daughter is expecting September 6 her name will be Isla 💕. I’m going to put a brown bunny appliqué in the corner with pink feet and pink nose Thank you again for this pattern You explained it so well and it’s so easy to follow
Congratulations!!! What a beautiful name! I’m sure Isla will love it. What a great idea to put a bunny on it. Thank you for your kind words, they mean the world to me!
I finished this yesterday. Making it for my grandson. He will arrive in July. Not perfect. But still very nice. Going to try to make the booties to match
@Jo to the Web Solutions you are very welcome ❤ and yes it is good to know that someone else has this happening to them isn't it ? 🤣 . I'm sure I will enjoy making the blanket ❤
I purchased the PDF pattern and I think your written instructions for the shell border are wrong. You say work from * to * but if you do that you end up skipping two stitches as the instructions between the * start and end with a skip stitch, glad I looked at the video 😊
Oh wow!! This is just what i have been looking for, all pure simplicity for a beginner like me, and i love your tutorial with your beautiful way of explaining...I am in South Africa and its not so easy to get all of the wonderful beautiful yarns here but there is a bit of improvements....So i have subscribed and cant wait to get more of your beautiful work.❤👌 Thank You so much ❤
Where have you been all my life?! I love all the added info you give along with your video -- the choice of printing out the instructions and also having video timing cues....you are AWESOME! Would love to stay and chat but I have to run to the store to buy yarn. LOL
Well isn’t this the best message ever!!! You have completely made my day, thank you so much!!! Your words mean the absolute world to me and I’m so glad you found all of helpful! I hope you enjoy making this blanket and you had a great trip to my favourite place...the yarn store!
Love the blanket! I needed a quick blanket for my daughter’s friend that had her baby earlier than expected 😊 baby girl is doing great thankfully. P.s. I have shedding dogs also, so annoying to find hair everywhere!
I am a beginner in crochet 🧶 I started this sweet blanket by following along chaining 117. I did not realize this blanket would turn out to be a crib size blanket, which I was expecting. I was thinking it would be a baby receiving blanket size. But I have to say it turned out lovely and baby soft. Thank you for sharing.
@@wanevacook5675 I designed this blanket to be the size that it is. Having it be a different size would be a whole new pattern. You’re welcome to try out different chains to get the size that you’d like but I haven’t made or tested this for a different size.
I did see this same crochet pattern on Sirin’s. She made her crochet blanket in a newborn chaining 81. Hopefully this will help you share how many chains for a newborn size.
Thanks for this great video. Does this stitch have a name? I’ve crocheted a lot but never come across it before! I used a smaller hook on my blanket so it was less “loopy” but then I also tried it on a bed runner “through back loops only” as I was short of yarn so wanted to make it go further - looks fantastic. 👍
Thank you very much! Any yarn under you see in the video was not intentional. All the stitches are made with normal/regular single crochet and double crochet stitches. :)
I have a brand new interest in learning to crochet a baby blanket due to my daughters’s first baby!!! I will try to find the information, but would love to have instructions on how to do a double crochet and a slip stitch. I literally know nothing but really, really want to learn. Thanks! 🍼
That’s wonderful and congratulations!!! I am unable to share links in the comments but if you search Google for “how to double crochet” and “how to do a slip stitch crochet” a ton of great tutorials are available. Hope this helps and you enjoy learning crochet!
Expecting my first grandchild in Dec 2024 and I’m going to make this! I’m a beginner..can I ask how much yarn should I purchase for this blanket if I make it according to your size? Thanks!!
Congratulations! That's so exciting! All the details including how much yarn is required can be found here: jototheworld.com/simple-baby-blanket-crochet-pattern
