So beautiful...just like all your work. I'd like to ask you ...I got my yarn for my little blocks that are made with Ice Picasso rainbow and white. How many balls do I need of each to make a full size blanket. I bought bags of eight of both. I'm wondering if I should or one more bag of each.
IMO, you explain things SO well, you never have to worry about confusing anyone. Thank you! If you don't mind, I was wondering if it is possible for you to do a tutorial on a pattern called the "wiggly stitch." It's a two-process stitch. First you create a simple filet crochet base. Then, using that base, you work SC or DC over it, going back and forth with the pattern. I've seen it done, but the only examples I can find are so ugly and so basic (and usually in DC, though I think in SC it looks much nicer) that it's hard to imagine it as being nice. Yet I happened to see an example of one at a friend's house and it can be so pretty. ?? Well, I hope you consider it. I really love the way you explain everything. You make the hardest patterns so easy!
Crocheter here, and for a maximum coolness you could mount your beginning chain with the colors too, 10 CA, 10 CB by just adding the second color when its needed. It could be a little tricky for the beginners, but it's worth the corst.
I do all of my blankets in the moss stitch. I should be able to take this theory/lay out and do a beautiful gingham blanket in a moss stitch. I now know what my January project will be ❤ can’t hurt to try!
yes it can be done in moss stitch or any stitch you want basically! Daisy farms craft has about 20 different gingham style crochet blanket patterns and uses different stitches for them all.
Loved the gingham blanket and the helpful tips. Thank you for both a great demonstration and a calm, clear explanation. Fantastic. As a retired head of mathmatics teaching for 20 years. You have shown me you can teach an old dog new tricks. Weĺl done. Kindest Regards, kim x
This was so helpful! Excellent tutorial! My son wants me to make a gingham blanket for him but I wasn't sure how to switch the colors. You described it beautifully! Thank you! I hope to find more of your videos.
I love this tutorial. It is a very lovely blanket. Thank you so much. I was hoping that you would talk a little bit about your lovely border. It looks like SC foundation row and then building out a chain and working back down the chain to SL ST to the next SC and repeat. Thank you again.
Thank you so much Faye! 🥰 As for my border, I followed 2 different tutorials for this. To begin, I prepared my edging using this method from @It's all in a Nutshell Crochet ruclips.net/video/T2GZmkrxbXo/видео.html I then used this border from @Daisy Farm Crafts ruclips.net/video/oM5qMrw8fxY/видео.html (I chained 12 for my starting chain on the ribbed border 😊)
Absolutely gorgeous! I'm using the guidance from this video to make a red and black blanket to resemble buffalo plaid. I only wish you had included guidance on the border you used.
@@HookedbyRobin I’ve just followed you on Instagram, I’ll be sure to tag you in the finished blankets! Just need to choose my yarn now. Yarn shopping is always a good day! 😂❤
After 20 years of crochet, I love that there are still techniques and patterns to keep me excited to keep going. Thank you for such a well explained tutorial. :)
I love the way you explained this stitching technique. I am looking forward to trying it! Am I understanding that we work this blanket in blocks like a granny square blanket?
Robin, Thank you so much! Your demonstrations are so clear. I love this blanket, and I want to make it just like yours. Is there a demonstration for the border?
I'm confused which is easy to do. During the video you said the complementary colour you need most of but in your what you used cream was used the least? I've got stash to use up white 2000 metres light grey 1800 and dark grey 600 metres. I'm unsure what to use now as contrast? PS your teaching is very good and clear .
Cream was the least used purely because I used the mustard as the starting row, the ending row AND in the border too :) So I ended up using 2 balls of cream, 3 of mustard (plus 2 more mustard balls for the border) and 4 of the beige
@@HookedbyRobin thank you so much for that explanation. I can safely start now as I think I've got enough wool! It's a great video and I can't wait to start ...

You made a University of Texas gingham blanket (on my screen it's orange, grey'ish, and white)! 🧡 There's a saying, "There's a little piece of me in everything I crochet."

Hi, Shyanha -- let me see if I can explain this correctly. You need 13 because those extra chains will make up your first double crochet. If you only did 10 chains, you'd fall short due to skipping whatever amount Robin says (I forget, sorry). I hope this explained it for you.
Ahhh, just in time to start Christmas projects! Thank you, thank you, Robin! All the women in my family love gingham and I'm so glad it's in style lately. 😆
My grandma has just turned 80 but has always wanted to learn how to crochet. Your videos have been a lifesaver for us, Robin! Thank you so much. We’re finally going to help her achieve her dream!
This is sweet. My mom is 80, she knits one or two patterns that she’s comfortable with but has never learnt to crochet. I, too, should show her Robin’s channel because she is quite a clear and easy teacher! It’ll give Mom something to do over the long winter here in Canada. ❤
I love the gingham look but have always found it and other tutorials very intimidating so thanks Robin, for your clear and easy to understand instructions. I’m definitely going to have a go at making one💜
I don't undstand why you start the first row in the fifth stitch from the hook - shouldn't it be the fourth? 13 stitches, skip three, first dc in fourth, usually equals ten stitches, right... Or have I missed something? o.O
This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. I really appreciate your thorough explanation on the theory of how to work this up rather than just following a pattern. I'm looking forward to your next TED Talk.
Looks great 😁 love hair comment 😊 I have to do the same thing. Understand the process but I have to play with it a little more to get "it" 😘 your channel!
Lovely colours🥰 I appreciate your way of sharing pattern process. So understanding. Your blanket is gorgeous as well! Reminds me of a dress pattern I would have worn as a young girl. I’m a 60 year old therefore I love patterns as such.❤ Thank you 💙💖💙
Thank you so much for posting a “theory” video, more of these please so we can adjust and adapt to make our own unique creations based on your guidance! I am finishing up a dark blue / light blue / white one now based off this video.
Omg RIGHT ON TIME!! I just bought a bunch of premier bobbins for $2.99 to make a gingham blanket and didn't know where to begin lol! Thank you sooooo much for this❤ ☮💜☯️
Hi Amanda, lovely to have you here! 😃🧶 For my personal blanket, I used Papatya Super Stitch Yarn with a 5.5mm Hook. I used 2 balls of cream (shade 1200), 4 balls of beige (shade 4120) and 5 balls of mustard (shade 8740) - (I used 2 of those 5 balls of the mustard for the border).
As a newbie learner (from a fabulous good great teacher...TY), I can do this BUT what about the border. Without this video of ending blanket, I cannot make this for my son #bummed
Hi, Apologies for my delayed reply. For the border I followed 2 different tutorials for this. To begin, I prepared my edging using this method from @It's all in a Nutshell Crochet ruclips.net/video/T2GZmkrxbXo/видео.html I then used this border from @Daisy Farm Crafts ruclips.net/video/oM5qMrw8fxY/видео.html (I chained 12 for my starting chain on the ribbed border 😊)
I LOVE all of your tutorials! You're incredibly thorough and clear on the instructions you give your viewers. Your calm, energetic voice is very soothing to me. Thank you for all of the countless hours of tutorials, ideas and gorgeous products you shared with us; you are absolutely amazing!

I’m loving this pattern and amazed at how quickly it works up. I’m doing a blue colour combo at the moment and it looks fab. Finding it very addictive! Thank you once again for your fab tutorials. You are always my go to! X
This would be a good pattern reference for making a Tanjiro Kamado haori (Demon Slayer) top/cardigan and using Skein Spider's video as a starting point.
me encanto esta manta, aunque soy principiante voy a probar con un cojín de 6 cuadrados por 9, es decir, 2 bloques por 3 bloques; me gustaría saber como se aseguran todas las lanas que se cortan al pasar de un color a otro, gracias de antemano, es usted una excelente profesora.
so i'm a beginner and trying this out... how do i make a full blanket if i'm only making 33 chains? idk if this is stupid but do i stitch multiple together? i don't know i'm just confused
I downloaded some gingham crochet pattern videos a couple of three years ago, because I love the look of the gingham crocheted items. However they’ve been sitting in the vault, like I said for two or three years. You’ve made it look so simple and again I love listening to your voice, so I’m definitely going to give this a try. Weirdly perhaps, I’m going to do this in a prayer shawl style. Thank you again for all your videos❤ ❤❤
I've just got round to watching this just wondering how many chains did u do for ur blanket as would like to use the size and as always explain very well
Hi Teresa, I chained 133 chains to start (13 blocks wide) and made 19 blocks in length (total of 95 rows) My entire blanket (including the border) is approximately 47 inches x 58 inches (119cm x 147cm).😃
Hi Samantha, For my personal blanket, I used Papatya Super Stitch Yarn with a 5.5mm Hook. I used 2 balls of cream (shade 1200), 4 balls of beige (shade 4120) and 5 balls of mustard (shade 8740) - (I used 2 of those 5 balls of the mustard for the border). I chained 133 chains to start (13 blocks wide) and made 19 blocks in length (total of 95 rows). My entire blanket (including the border) is approximately 47 inches x 58 inches (119cm x 147cm). I hope that helps. If you google the yarn, it should give you the meters/yardage.😃🧶
This info isn't new to me, but the video caught my eye because of the ribbed border and the modern colors (I'm not always a fan of mustard, but this is great!). I watched just a couple minutes, so far, and I can say: you are my people! Breaking it down, analytically. Using math to calculate what you want, etc. That's how I like to work too. It's amazing how many people I've introduced to the idea of a scale for the yarn room but with a scale and some calculating, you can learn so much for your crocheting! Knowing the "why" and the foundational concepts behind a pattern gives those learning much better information than just one set amount of chains to chain. Working to dimensions rather than a particular gauge is my favorite way to work.
I told every person who got a blanket from me that if they wanted to do a crime they just had to leave the blanket at the scene because the blanket has so much dna from me inside them (because of hair that i accidently crochet into it) that I probably am a suspect ;-)
Hi I love you pattern but I am stuck on getting through the third row. I want to bring the mustard color back but in the video I dosent show how to do that. Please help.
This one is definitely going on my list of projects! After I finish my ombre style blanket which I started today 🤣 I was wondering if there's a possibility to add some depth to the gingham design? Something along the lines of - the first row of the contrasting color in backloop (rightside) or frontloop (wrong side) pushing that row back - continuing all the rows after that full loop - the first row of the next color on top of that frontloop (wrong side) or backloop (rightside) pushing the row below back It definitely destroys the easy pattern repeat you got now, but in my head at least it would cool.
Hello Robin my love 😍 OMG I simply love the Gingham style, thank you 🙏 so much for this tutorial which is perfect for the season . I’ve been wanting to do this blanket but I’ve been so intimidated by it but now that you have blessed us this great tutorial I know I can do it because you are such an amazing teacher! I love everything you do and totally appreciate how thorough you are explaining all of the stitches and pattern! ! Thank you for all the hard work you put into all of your videos/ tutorials!

Absolutely love this video! So clearly set out and explained. I’ve just finished all my Christmas gifts for this year so now it’s time to make something for me! 😂 I’ve wanted a gingham blanket for ages!
Loved this tutorial so much. I'm so inspired to make one of these! Maybe after Christmas when I finish all my gift crocheting and knitting 🤣 Your blanket is BEAUTIFUL 😍
Hi Sweet Robin!! This is an Awesome tutorial!!! Definitely going on my Must Do list!! Thank you for your tips as it makes things much easier!!! Take Care and Stay Safe!! Love you Bunches!!🌹💕🙏🤗 🧶

I made Buffalo Plaid crochet hats for the family in black and red and grey and in black and white and grey. They turned out great. However, the plaid was tiny and I was following a pattern. Your great instructions have now given me the freedom to design my own plaid blanket. Thank you for a super tutorial.
You are BRILLIANT!!! 🤩 Thank You so much for this very, very informative video tutorial! ❤️ I have been wanting to crochet a Gingham blanket, but always felt insecure about trying it!
do you have to sew the blocks of the three colours together? Like 3 squares + another set of 3 and so on ? Also great video!! I am relatively new and this vid is really well explained ❤
No you make it entirely in one piece - so the 3 squares I show is just to teach the theory - you use your guage block to determine how big you want your blanket to be - so, for example, for my personal blanket I chained 133 chains to start (13 blocks wide) and made 19 blocks in length (total of 95 rows)
I have a silly question. On the block that's 13 stitches at the end, why not just make it 10 stitches like the others? Or, 11? My brain will not let me understand that, lol. 🤦🏻♀️
It's for the turning chain at the end :) if you were working with foundation stitches (and therefore needed no chain) it would be 10 stitches - I hope that makes sense!
Thank you for sharing! I'm an intermediate crocheter, about 2 years in picking it up in my spare time, but your videos are so clear and you have so much patience repeating things that an almost beginner could watch this video and understand and recreate. And the fact you've included the pattern for this very one is wonderful, some people struggle with envisioning colourways, amounts of yarn, or the maths, and even if they follow without doing a gauge and it's not completely square, it will still look great! Thank you 💙
Thank you, thank you! Your instructions are very easy to follow. And my hair is always crocheted into my projects too. Lol. I saw this blanket and loved it but passed by the video because I didn’t think I could do it. But I’m so glad I stopped to listen to you because you couldn’t have made it any easier. I’m going out today to pick out my 3 colors. ❤
😂😂😂 i made a muffler for my father and my hair crocheted in it.... I call it extra yarn of love... ❤️❤️ Ps. It was one of your patterns i learnt... Thankyou very much.. ❤️✨
Hello Robin!Beautiful pattern for blanket. I am love your colors but I will looking in my stash what is nice for my blanket 😉. But probably one of my cats well enjoyed it 😽😼🤗
One of the very best tutorials I have watched. Your level of detail and instruction was so thorough but also not an hour long. Thank you thank you for taking the time to do this!!!

For the ribbing border, did you start again each corner like in the tutorial, or did you turn the corner? I couldn't see the corners in the larger picture of the afghan.
Hi, how many 100g balls of wool would I need to complete a blanket the same as the one you show, including the border. Using the same wool and crochet hook. What size crochet hook did you use please? Thank you

Your work is beautiful! I always get excited when I see a new video posted. Because of your detailed instructions, I've been able to make many of your patterns. One day I'd like to do something like this as well. For now though, I don't think I have the skill or patience for all the color changes. I think I have crochet ADD.😆
Love this pattern, but may I say, I think you should mention though that allowing 4 chain for that very first stitch is variable. I've never used more than 3. 👍🏻
I love love love gingham! Your blanket is simply beautiful…….thanks for demonstrating the techniques in carrying the yarn and how to change colors. This is very informative. Looking forward to the written pattern….😄 Thank you so much for your video….❤️

Thank you. You have helped me remember so many stitches. I’ve never done a gingham blanket, but took notes. I plan to make these blankets for my great grandchildren. I’m thinking one in blues, one in pinks and another in mint green shades. I’m excited to start. Thanks again.
Best advice - one to the front and one to the back!!! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that before as it’s been such an irritation in the past. Thank you Robin. I love the way you talk us thru each teaching point!!
Love blankets? Then you'll LOVE this one next! ruclips.net/video/J5pQ--HDvFU/видео.html 👈😍🧶

I knitt and crochet a lot baby frock dresses l love knitting and crochet I like your work very nice God bless you and your family
How lovely! 🥰🧶
I’m still pretty new to crochet and this may be a dumb question. Why are you only chaining one at the turn instead of three for a double crochet?
Love it!!
Thank you so much Kelly! 😃
Does the stich have to be 13 or can we do more for our square to be larger?
Is there a relatively easy way to figure out how much yarn you need? (Like how many balls of each color?)
Can I ask what stitch you used for the border? It is beautiful

Hi so if I wanted to the sledge stitch with this is that definitely something I could
Pull
Off ?
I don't see why not!
You made a University of Texas gingham blanket (on my screen it's orange, grey'ish, and white)! 🧡 There's a saying, "There's a little piece of me in everything I crochet." My hair also makes its way into my work, which is why I like that saying. :D
12:10 and 13:29 is where folks who struggle with the concept of starting chains + x can get an explanation of why it's 13, not 10.
For those who need to visualize the math:
5th chain from the hook is the first dc And the second, so keep the number 2 in your head.
13 chains - 5 skips = 8 chains remaining
8 chains + 2 dc = 10 (8 additional dc will be made so the total equals 10 dc)
Starting chains throw me off to this day when I'm trying to write my own patterns (admittedly, I haven't tried very hard), so I wanted to break it down for beginners.
I love that saying and thank you for the maths visual.😃🤗
Hi, Shyanha -- let me see if I can explain this correctly. You need 13 because those extra chains will make up your first double crochet. If you only did 10 chains, you'd fall short due to skipping whatever amount Robin says (I forget, sorry). I hope this explained it for you.

I know what you mean - I always have so many crochet projects on the go! 😂🫣 So glad you like my videos Debbie.x
My grandma has just turned 80 but has always wanted to learn how to crochet. Your videos have been a lifesaver for us, Robin! Thank you so much. We’re finally going to help her achieve her dream!
Yaaay! That makes me so happy to read Opal.😃🤗
This is sweet. My mom is 80, she knits one or two patterns that she’s comfortable with but has never learnt to crochet. I, too, should show her Robin’s channel because she is quite a clear and easy teacher! It’ll give Mom something to do over the long winter here in Canada. ❤
🐐🐐🐐
Winner winner chicken dinner!
Hi Robin - your videos are always so clear and easy to follow. Love your sense of humour too! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much! 😃
I was going to say the same. Love what you do. Thank you. Keep going.
Thank you!🥰
I love the gingham look but have always found it and other tutorials very intimidating so thanks Robin, for your clear and easy to understand instructions. I’m definitely going to have a go at making one💜
I am so happy to read this Nicola, I am glad I made it make sense! 😂😃
Bless your little heart, you've made this as "idiot-proof" as you can 🤣 thank you
I am glad it made sense! 😅😃
I don't undstand why you start the first row in the fifth stitch from the hook - shouldn't it be the fourth? 13 stitches, skip three, first dc in fourth, usually equals ten stitches, right... Or have I missed something? o.O
Beautiful blanket and great instruction. I’m new to your channel but I’m happy I found it.
Lovely to have you here, thank you Cindy! 🥰😃
I just found you also. 😊 thank you for sharing. I will be putting this on my list to do. Excited for this one 💛
Thank you Lisa, lovely to have you here! 🥰🧶
This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. I really appreciate your thorough explanation on the theory of how to work this up rather than just following a pattern. I'm looking forward to your next TED Talk.
You're very welcome! 😀🧶
Looks great 😁 love hair comment 😊 I have to do the same thing. Understand the process but I have to play with it a little more to get "it" 😘 your channel!
Thank you Peggie! 🥰
Lovely colours🥰
I appreciate your way of sharing pattern process. So understanding.
Your blanket is gorgeous as well!
Reminds me of a dress pattern I would have worn as a young girl. I’m a 60 year old therefore I love patterns as such.❤
Thank you 💙💖💙
I'm sure I used to have a yellow gingham dress as a child! It's a classic! 😀🧶
Thank you so much for posting a “theory” video, more of these please so we can adjust and adapt to make our own unique creations based on your guidance! I am finishing up a dark blue / light blue / white one now based off this video.
That sounds great Ryan and thank you so much for your video feedback, much appreciated.😃🤗
Omg RIGHT ON TIME!! I just bought a bunch of premier bobbins for $2.99 to make a gingham blanket and didn't know where to begin lol! Thank you sooooo much for this❤
☮💜☯️
Perfect! Great timing.😃🥰
@HookedbyRobin *Can I make individual blocks and then just sew them together? Like granny squares. But with these stitches.*
This might work better for something like that! ruclips.net/video/BOMoktv75DA/видео.htmlsi=3WQzzGoUU7MlAfux
Hello I’m new to your channel what wool do you use? Keep up with the great work ❤❤
Hi Amanda, lovely to have you here! 😃🧶
For my personal blanket, I used Papatya Super Stitch Yarn with a 5.5mm Hook.
I used 2 balls of cream (shade 1200), 4 balls of beige (shade 4120) and 5 balls of mustard (shade 8740) - (I used 2 of those 5 balls of the mustard for the border).
@@HookedbyRobin thank you so much and my pleasure 😇
As a newbie learner (from a fabulous good great teacher...TY), I can do this BUT what about the border. Without this video of ending blanket, I cannot make this for my son #bummed
Hi, Apologies for my delayed reply. For the border I followed 2 different tutorials for this.
To begin, I prepared my edging using this method from @It's all in a Nutshell Crochet ruclips.net/video/T2GZmkrxbXo/видео.html
I then used this border from @Daisy Farm Crafts ruclips.net/video/oM5qMrw8fxY/видео.html (I chained 12 for my starting chain on the ribbed border 😊)
I LOVE all of your tutorials! You're incredibly thorough and clear on the instructions you give your viewers. Your calm, energetic voice is very soothing to me. Thank you for all of the countless hours of tutorials, ideas and gorgeous products you shared with us; you are absolutely amazing!
Such a wonderful and kind comment Lisa, thank you so much!🥰🤗
Her tutorials are fantastic!❤
This is beautiful! I would love to see your tutorial on adding ribbing to this blanket.

I’m loving this pattern and amazed at how quickly it works up. I’m doing a blue colour combo at the moment and it looks fab. Finding it very addictive! Thank you once again for your fab tutorials. You are always my go to! X
I am pleased you are enjoying it Kat!😃🧶
This would be a good pattern reference for making a Tanjiro Kamado haori (Demon Slayer) top/cardigan and using Skein Spider's video as a starting point.
😃
me encanto esta manta, aunque soy principiante voy a probar con un cojín de 6 cuadrados por 9, es decir, 2 bloques por 3 bloques; me gustaría saber como se aseguran todas las lanas que se cortan al pasar de un color a otro, gracias de antemano, es usted una excelente profesora.
This video should help! 😀 ruclips.net/video/GMjstBdp_2E/видео.htmlsi=5NLcoEj4oDPSLbei
so i'm a beginner and trying this out... how do i make a full blanket if i'm only making 33 chains? idk if this is stupid but do i stitch multiple together? i don't know i'm just confused
Hi, I chained 133 chains to start (13 blocks wide) and made 19 blocks in length (total of 95 rows).
Does that help at all?🤗🧶
I downloaded some gingham crochet pattern videos a couple of three years ago, because I love the look of the gingham crocheted items. However they’ve been sitting in the vault, like I said for two or three years. You’ve made it look so simple and again I love listening to your voice, so I’m definitely going to give this a try. Weirdly perhaps, I’m going to do this in a prayer shawl style. Thank you again for all your videos❤ ❤❤
Ooh it would look lovely as shawl!
I've just got round to watching this just wondering how many chains did u do for ur blanket as would like to use the size and as always explain very well
Hi Teresa, I chained 133 chains to start (13 blocks wide) and made 19 blocks in length (total of 95 rows)
My entire blanket (including the border) is approximately 47 inches x 58 inches (119cm x 147cm).😃
Ms. Robin do you have the meters or yardage used? I want to make the blanket I think that will help me figure out how much I need to get. TIA
Hi Samantha, For my personal blanket, I used Papatya Super Stitch Yarn with a 5.5mm Hook.

My entire blanket (including the border) is approximately 47 inches x 58 inches (119cm x 147cm). I hope that helps. If you google the yarn, it should give you the meters/yardage.😃🧶
This info isn't new to me, but the video caught my eye because of the ribbed border and the modern colors (I'm not always a fan of mustard, but this is great!).
I watched just a couple minutes, so far, and I can say: you are my people! Breaking it down, analytically. Using math to calculate what you want, etc. That's how I like to work too.
It's amazing how many people I've introduced to the idea of a scale for the yarn room but with a scale and some calculating, you can learn so much for your crocheting!
Knowing the "why" and the foundational concepts behind a pattern gives those learning much better information than just one set amount of chains to chain. Working to dimensions rather than a particular gauge is my favorite way to work.
This was lovely to read and so appreciated, thank you so much! 😃🥰
I told every person who got a blanket from me that if they wanted to do a crime they just had to leave the blanket at the scene because the blanket has so much dna from me inside them (because of hair that i accidently crochet into it) that I probably am a suspect ;-)
So funny! 😅 Hair and cat fluff always get on my crochet!x
Hi I love you pattern but I am stuck on getting through the third row. I want to bring the mustard color back but in the video I dosent show how to do that. Please help.
Hi Zachary, this may help: www.hookedbyrobin.com/blog/crochet-gingham-blanket
🤗
This one is definitely going on my list of projects! After I finish my ombre style blanket which I started today 🤣
I was wondering if there's a possibility to add some depth to the gingham design? Something along the lines of
- the first row of the contrasting color in backloop (rightside) or frontloop (wrong side) pushing that row back
- continuing all the rows after that full loop
- the first row of the next color on top of that frontloop (wrong side) or backloop (rightside) pushing the row below back
It definitely destroys the easy pattern repeat you got now, but in my head at least it would cool.
Yes absolutely! That sounds like an awesome idea!
this looks so lovely! i love the way you instruct all of the viewers :)
Thank you so much! 🥰🧶
Hello Robin my love 😍
OMG I simply love the Gingham style, thank you 🙏 so much for this tutorial which is perfect for the season . I’ve been wanting to do this blanket but I’ve been so intimidated by it but now that you have blessed us this great tutorial I know I can do it because you are such an amazing teacher! I love everything you do and totally appreciate how thorough you are explaining all of the stitches and pattern! ! Thank you for all the hard work you put into all of your videos/ tutorials! You are a blessing my dear sweet adorable friend! Because of you I have done some great projects! Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘 love you 🥰 my darling friend! 🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰💙💙💙💙🙏🙏🙏🙏 Be well love !
Hi Robin, will you be doing the border tutorial? I’d like to see that please.
Thanks Kes
Hi Kes, I followed 2 different tutorials for this.
To begin, I prepared my edging using this method from @Itsallinanutshell ruclips.net/video/T2GZmkrxbXo/видео.html
I then used this border from @DaisyFarmCrafts ruclips.net/video/oM5qMrw8fxY/видео.html (I chained 12 for my starting chain on the ribbed border 😊)
Oh no another gorgeous project from Robin!! 😂 I already have 3 projects of yours going! Time to start another!
You can never, I repeat *never* have too many projects on the go 😆🧶
I know right? I have two of Robin's going now!
Can I ask your permission to sell any of the patterns I make as I am going have a craft stall on my local market this year and was hoping to get your patterns made but need your permission to sell them thank you xx
Hi Debbie, of course! 😃 Best of luck with your stall. xx
Absolutely love this video! So clearly set out and explained. I’ve just finished all my Christmas gifts for this year so now it’s time to make something for me! 😂 I’ve wanted a gingham blanket for ages!
Great idea Elisa! 😃🤗 Thank you so much for watching and have a lovely Christmas.🎄
Loved this tutorial so much. I'm so inspired to make one of these! Maybe after Christmas when I finish all my gift crocheting and knitting 🤣 Your blanket is BEAUTIFUL 😍
Thank you Demi! 😃 I hope you are enjoying making your gifts, homemade ones are so lovely.🎄
Hi Sweet Robin!! This is an Awesome tutorial!!! Definitely going on my Must Do list!! Thank you for your tips as it makes things much easier!!! Take Care and Stay Safe!! Love you Bunches!!🌹💕🙏🤗 🧶
Thank you so much, I am so glad it is going on your crochet list.😃🥰
This video is so helpful! The blanket is beautiful and it's great that I can apply this to any yarn and size I'd want 😊
I am so glad it helped Kamilla! 😃🧶
This is not a question for crochet but your nails are beautiful are they your own ? Or are they gel perfect length
They are my natural nails :D just with gel polish 💅
I loved the video. Maybe this will be my next project. How did you do the border?
Thank you so much! 🥰 For the border I followed 2 different tutorials for this.
To begin, I prepared my edging using this method from @Itsallinanutshell ruclips.net/video/T2GZmkrxbXo/видео.html
I then used this border from @DaisyFarmCrafts ruclips.net/video/oM5qMrw8fxY/видео.html (I chained 12 for my starting chain on the ribbed border 😊)
I made Buffalo Plaid crochet hats for the family in black and red and grey and in black and white and grey. They turned out great. However, the plaid was tiny and I was following a pattern. Your great instructions have now given me the freedom to design my own plaid blanket. Thank you for a super tutorial.
I am so happy it helps, you’re so welcome! 😃🧶
You are BRILLIANT!!! 🤩 Thank You so much for this very, very informative video tutorial! ❤️ I have been wanting to crochet a Gingham blanket, but always felt insecure about trying it!
Awwh, I am so pleased it helps Ana! Have fun making one.😃🧶
do you have to sew the blocks of the three colours together? Like 3 squares + another set of 3 and so on ? Also great video!! I am relatively new and this vid is really well explained ❤
No you make it entirely in one piece - so the 3 squares I show is just to teach the theory - you use your guage block to determine how big you want your blanket to be - so, for example, for my personal blanket I chained 133 chains to start (13 blocks wide) and made 19 blocks in length (total of 95 rows)
@@HookedbyRobin thanks so much !
Hi, could you the translated subtitles please? Thanks
Hello! RUclips has automatic translations for subtitles, you can choose the language you want in the settings 🙂
I love your tutorials, they are informative and your stitches are so uniform. Lovely!
Thank you so much Judith!😃
I have a silly question. On the block that's 13 stitches at the end, why not just make it 10 stitches like the others? Or, 11? My brain will not let me understand that, lol. 🤦🏻♀️
It's for the turning chain at the end :) if you were working with foundation stitches (and therefore needed no chain) it would be 10 stitches - I hope that makes sense!
@@HookedbyRobin it does! Thank you! 🩷
Thank you for sharing! I'm an intermediate crocheter, about 2 years in picking it up in my spare time, but your videos are so clear and you have so much patience repeating things that an almost beginner could watch this video and understand and recreate. And the fact you've included the pattern for this very one is wonderful, some people struggle with envisioning colourways, amounts of yarn, or the maths, and even if they follow without doing a gauge and it's not completely square, it will still look great! Thank you 💙
Thank you for the loveliest comment Beth! 🥰🤗
Beautiful blanket! This is now on my to do list! I’m still confused on the multiple thing though…lol.
Thank you, thank you! Your instructions are very easy to follow. And my hair is always crocheted into my projects too. Lol. I saw this blanket and loved it but passed by the video because I didn’t think I could do it. But I’m so glad I stopped to listen to you because you couldn’t have made it any easier. I’m going out today to pick out my 3 colors. ❤
You're so welcome Jennifer, apologies for only just seeing this comment. Have you started your blanket and what colours did you go for?😃🧶
😂😂😂 i made a muffler for my father and my hair crocheted in it.... I call it extra yarn of love... ❤️❤️
Ps. It was one of your patterns i learnt... Thankyou very much.. ❤️✨
😅 You’re so welcome!🧶
Hello Robin!Beautiful pattern for blanket. I am love your colors but I will looking in my stash what is nice for my blanket 😉. But probably one of my cats well enjoyed it 😽😼🤗
Yes definitely look in your stash! That's why I made this video, not for using the same yarn as me but for stash yarn! 😀🧶 xx
Love your videos! You explain everything so well and I love when you laugh at yourself😂.
😅 Thank you so much Robin!🥰
So whenever you start a new row of blocks you cut off one color and add the on the other?
Hi Makayla, the pattern is here if that helps 😃: www.hookedbyrobin.com/blog/crochet-gingham-blanket
Gotta love the hair crocheted in! The struggle is real…😬
Always Sandra!😂🫣
Pressed like before I've even had time to watch this properly cos I know I'm going to 😁
Thank you so much Saara!😃🥰
One of the very best tutorials I have watched. Your level of detail and instruction was so thorough but also not an hour long. Thank you thank you for taking the time to do this!!!
Thank you so much Dan, much appreciated!😃🧶
Love it ❤ how to incorporate this in a jogger set with hoodie? Thanks
Hi Carisa, thank you! 😃 I haven’t made that, so can’t give much advice I am afraid.🧶
is there a video on how to do the border? cause i’ve been trying to look 😭
Hi Jo, I followed 2 different tutorials for this.
To begin, I prepared my edging using this method from @Itsallinanutshell ruclips.net/video/T2GZmkrxbXo/видео.html
I then used this border from @DaisyFarmCrafts ruclips.net/video/oM5qMrw8fxY/видео.html (I chained 12 for my starting chain on the ribbed border 😊)
For the ribbing border, did you start again each corner like in the tutorial, or did you turn the corner? I couldn't see the corners in the larger picture of the afghan.
I followed the tutorial so, I hit a corner, then chained up like she does in her video 😀🧶
@@HookedbyRobin Thank you! I was thinking that would be the best way to do it.
Love gingham , can’t wait to start a blanket ! Thanks Robin for yet another amazing project ❤
I am glad you like it Dill! Thank you so much for your ongoing support.😃🧶
@@HookedbyRobin you are absolutely welcome Robin - I will continue to do so as your passionate tutorials are very much appreciated ❤️

Hi, how many 100g balls of wool would I need to complete a blanket the same as the one you show, including the border. Using the same wool and crochet hook. What size crochet hook did you use please? Thank you
Hi Lynn, For my personal blanket, I used Papatya Super Stitch Yarn with a 5.5mm Hook.
I used 2 balls of cream (shade 1200), 4 balls of beige (shade 4120) and 5 balls of mustard (shade 8740) - (I used 2 of those 5 balls of the mustard for the border)

I hope you enjoy it.😃
Your work is beautiful! I always get excited when I see a new video posted. Because of your detailed instructions, I've been able to make many of your patterns. One day I'd like to do something like this as well. For now though, I don't think I have the skill or patience for all the color changes. I think I have crochet ADD.😆
Thank you so much Kim and trust me, I don't have patience either 😂 but is so fun once you get going!x
I have always wanted to crochet a gingham blanket - may be now I will - on my long list of future projects :0)
I hope you do! They are really simple once you get into the swing of things 😀🧶
Love this pattern, but may I say, I think you should mention though that allowing 4 chain for that very first stitch is variable. I've never used more than 3. 👍🏻
I love love love gingham! Your blanket is simply beautiful…….thanks for demonstrating the techniques in carrying the yarn and how to change colors. This is very informative. Looking forward to the written pattern….😄 Thank you so much for your video….❤️
It is so cute isn't it? 😃 I had a gingham dress when I was younger that I loved. The written pattern should be on my website soon.🧶

You’re so welcome Linda, I hope it helps.😃🧶
Thank you. You have helped me remember so many stitches. I’ve never done a gingham blanket, but took notes. I plan to make these blankets for my great grandchildren. I’m thinking one in blues, one in pinks and another in mint green shades. I’m excited to start. Thanks again.
They sound wonderful Kathie, great colour choices! 😃
Best advice - one to the front and one to the back!!! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that before as it’s been such an irritation in the past. Thank you Robin. I love the way you talk us thru each teaching point!!
You're so welcome Amanda, I am glad it helps! 😃 x
