I am so glad I found your video!!! A friend of mine has a blanket like this that her grandmother made. I had never seen anything like it before! I have been trying to figure out how it was worked. It's such a beautiful blanket. Thank you thank you thank you!!
Thank you! I've been looking for a way to recreate this blanket for a while now! My great-grandma in law used to make these for my spouse's family Melanie
I made a blanket just like this, a friend of mine gave me the pattern. To make it really thick and thermal you want to use a N or P hook sixe, whatever you have around there, and a 3 or 4 weight yarn. I used a N hook with Lion brand Mandala ombre and it took 10 skeins, 5 of each for each side and it make it 72 inches wide and 74 inches tall. I am actually just finishing the last row now, then the closing row, and then tying the ends together and trimming it. The mandala Ombre yarn is a 3 weight, has 344 yard per skein, 150g per skein, 5.3oz.Every color is slightly different, the two i got, Harmony and Mantra, the Harmony had a slightly thinner yarn and so was slightly smaller skein than the Mantra. But both worked up really well. I did one color for each side. It seems thinner than some yarn so it is thinner than the blanket shown but still very puffy and warm.

Great idea, using thermal stitch! Thanks!
Brilliant
Would you be able to tell us what weight of yarn and the size of your hook please?
I love these. So warm.

How much yarn is needed for an adult size afghan.
But y r u cutting ur yarn at the end of each row
It creates an automatic fringe
I tie 5 or 6 together into a tassle.
Can you do 2nd row
:39 I talk about the second row. I just do a single crochet into the back loop on the chain.
Can you do this in half double crochet?
@@ashellis3 can this be done with half double crochet?
