@@delaineharvey5177 aw yay, I’m so glad you think so!

@@xanthekitses3774 that depends on what I’m making. If it’s a wearable, I would check throughout the pattern to see if it gives any dimensions anywhere and use that as a jumping off point. Sometimes patterns don’t give gauge because it’s unimportant, but they’re supposed to say that in the pattern regardless. Otherwise they might tell you to chain out to a length of X number of inches or something like that and work enough rows/rounds until a certain height is met. If none of that is in the pattern and it’s aw wearable then I usually try to fit-check it as I work. I hope this helps!

@@kellyglass5019 I believe in you! I used to be a yanker too but practicing lengthening that golden loop helped immensely ♥️

@@tinystarkimable I worked 16 sts across for both of these sizes, then 18 rows for the tall one and 20 rows for the round one.

@@HooksBooksWanderlust thank you so so much there beautiful

@@tinystarkimable any time!

@@carlenevasseur I’m glad you found it beneficial! What a wonderful thing you’re doing!

@@user-rb3xd9km4p glad you liked it!

@@juliech2 your message brought the biggest grin to my face 🥰 I’m so glad you found it helpful!

@@ilmahasan8401 woohoo!! So glad this helped you!! ♥️

I’m glad you found it helpful! Blocking is wetting a piece down and pinning it into shape to let it dry. If I’m using acrylic yarn, I steam it, and if I’m using natural fiber (like cotton) then I spray with water. I hope that helps!

I will be honest and tell you that I don’t block my washcloths, since they’re a more utilitarian piece. So don’t feel like you have to :)

@@Amanda-pc3jv that can vary based on your pattern, but the most basic way to begin working in the round is a foundation chain that’s been joined by slip stitch. Another way to do it is to work a base row of sc into a row of foundation chains (or skip the chains and work a foundation sc) then join at the top of the sc. This is usually my preferred method because I’m less likely to twist my work before I join it. Just don’t forget that when you weave in your ends, you’ll also need to use that yarn tail to secure the bottom of your sc. To see what I mean, see the beginning of this video: ruclips.net/video/nvsCFiIj_cg/видео.htmlsi=isYz7sU25QWbi7Vv. It uses a different stitch but same technique.

@@HooksBooksWanderlustthanks so much! Excited to give this stitch a try this week 😊

@@Amanda-pc3jv have fun!

❤

@@shanicepearce4433 baby steps and take your time :)

@@YarnSociety it was worth all the wet shoes! ♥️

@@HooksBooksWanderlust Ahhhh I didn't even think of that!!! So worth it though😂

@@YarnSociety if you ever go, learn from my mistake and wear water shoes 🤣

@@HooksBooksWanderlust I will bookmark that for life as I hate wet socks and shoes!!!😂

@@vibhatyagi7560 thank you, I’m glad you think so!

Your comment made my day! Thank you for your sweet words and I hope mama-to-be loves it! ♥️

My pleasure!

I don’t have a video tutorial for this blanket for working in the border, but if you go to the written pattern, found free on my blog, there are photos and written directions to help with the border. It’s linked in the video description or click here: www.hooksbookswanderlust.com/2022/06/23/evren-baby-blanket/

Thanks, I purchased the tutorial on Etsy and I’m excited to get started once my yarn arrives next week. I’ve been practicing the basic stitches, and so far the border and getting the treble stitches to pop out are my weak spots. I checked the tutorial and found it a little bit hard to see the MC SC border stitches with ecru on ecru, but it was more clear for the CC rows with hazelnut on Ecru.

@@kelseygulu I can see where the ecru on ecru would be difficult to differentiate. I’ll have to see if I can edit the photos in a way that highlights stitch placement better. But in the meantime, use the rules of thumb that were in that written tutorial and just do your best to make sure that it lays flat. If your edge wants to curve into a C shape, then you likely don’t have enough stitches, and if the edge ends up ruffling, then you’ve got too many. Borders are not an exact science, because we all have different tensions, etc. Just do your best to keep it straight and flat. My contact information is in the pattern, if you want to send me pictures of your work if you’re having problems and I can try and help you. ♥️

I’m glad you like it!

You’d have to call and ask, but they’re a standard cart. Maybe if one of your kids was small enough to sit on someone’s lap. Again, call to ask because they may not show that for safety/liability reasons

Aww you made my day! I hope you share a picture of your blanket when you finish it! ♥️♥️♥️

I wish you did too! I’m glad you enjoyed the book! Have you read any of her others?

@@HooksBooksWanderlust Yes! Nightingale was my fave!!❤

Check out The Great Alone…I think I like it best!

@@HooksBooksWanderlust Oh yes! I did read that and it was amazing. That one is high on the list too. I wish she could write faster, I enjoy her books so much!

She’s a favorite for sure!

Awww yay! That makes me so happy! ♥️

That depends on the stitches used and your tension, so you’ll be better off paying attention to the side of your rectangle. I would with stitches until they measure 8.25 for a fitted hat (add more for slouch), and with rows until your work measures 20” long (or head circumference minus 2”).

Happy to help!

You’re welcome!

Thank you so much!

I’m so glad you like it! Thank you for your kind words!

You’re so welcome!

Here you go! Hope you find lots of fun things to make! www.hooksbookswanderlust.com/2022/06/23/evren-baby-blanket/

You will want to count your stitches, but if you ended up with a full star at the end, you still need to work a “half star” to finish that row before moving to the single crochet row. See the photo tutorial on my blog for further clarification. www.hooksbookswanderlust.com/2022/04/25/starstitch/

Thank you so much!

Nope, but before I start a border pattern, I always begin with a round of single crochet along the edges which helps omit any holes and evens out stitch placement for the border.

@@HooksBooksWanderlust Thanks :)

Assuming a queen width of 90”, approximately 315 sts (+1 for the foundation chain), assuming you meet gauge :)

@@HooksBooksWanderlust so would I just maybe triple the yardage on everything? Sorry I don’t try to alter pattern sizes often 😅

@@clfisher2011 it’s a lot of math, so I get it. Using quick calculations, I’d say yes, triple the amount would get you there with some leftover.

@clfisher2011 I would love to see your finished Queen size blanket. I am very new to crocheting but I love this pattern and want to make one for myself. ❤

In lieu of a magic wand making those tails disappear, it’s the next best thing 😄

I’m so glad! Thank you!

It’s my pleasure! Hugs back from the US!

Measure their head and then follow the how to here: www.hooksbookswanderlust.com/2022/01/31/seamandcinch/

Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first star stitch (or sc if on that type of round) to join.

🥰🥰 I’m so glad!

Hahahaha like seriously though, there’s GOT to be another word I could use! 🤣 Thank you, I wish the best for you and yours as well! ♥️♥️♥️

My pleasure!

Glad it was helpful!

You might still get some very slight slanting, but it can be blocked out very easily. If it’s more dramatic, you need to go back and look at your stitch placement and make sure that you are where you need to be there.

That’s great! I’m so glad this video helped!♥️

Thank you! 😍

I’m glad you like it!

Hmmm not sure why it’s whited out for you. It plays fine for me. Maybe a connection issue? Maybe try closing the RUclips app and restarting it? Technology 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Follow what your pattern states, but otherwise, you typically wouldn’t start or end with a post stitch. In my swatch here, I started with a regular double crochet and ended with a regular double crochet. :)
