I’m gonna feel like a pro now! But I do have a question about borders. Not so much on adult size blankets but I do like to add borders to my baby blankets.
I love this, many people will teach you how to crochet from a video but not many people will actually TEACH you HOW to CROCHET... You can't crochet if you don't know why your doing it or when to! What is a crocheter without a pattern??? I want to learn how to design and make my own.. Thank you beautiful!! You really want people to learn how to crochet and not just be able to follow someone else's steps...
I really appreciate you comment Stephanie! Thank you for recognizing what I am trying to do. It's funny, this year I took notice in how many people are actually eager to learn how to create their own patterns. So, I'm going to lean into that the end of 2022 and in a big way 2023. I'm excited for where this will lead us. I hope you enjoy the journey. 😁🧶🧡
@@CrochetWithTiffany 😲 omg yay!!! I am self taught by watching these videos but I want to know the rules and how to create and use the stitches that I learn. Oh my I am soooo ESTASTIC to hear this... Oh my, I can not wait to experience this with you.... Thank you. I know it takes a lot of time and money to make these videos and I will support 💯 percent you teaching me...
Crochet Theory ….who woulda thought? 😂😂😂 This was excellent. I had to watch some of it a couple of times 😂😂😂but I followed you completely right to the end! Thanks for ALL of this!
Hey Tiffany - I just finished watching the entire swatch series and I’m so happy that I can finally figure out a lot of what I need by following your instructions. Thank you so much for making these videos . Keep rocking !!🥰
Omg you are a life saver just got an order and was trying to figure yardage when I came across your video. It was so simple. I am terrible at math but this was easy. I cannot thank you enough. I will always do a swatch from now on!
I am lost all around lol. But if i keep watching and use my scrap yarn to follow along i think i will understand it better. Thank you so much for this.
I totally understand. There is a lot of information in this video and it can be a lot to take in. I am so proud of you for not giving up and really giving it a try. The more you crochet, the more projects you make, the more patterns you look at, the more this will make sense. 😊🧶🧡
Tiffany I join your crocheting site to learning to crochet your beautiful items,I never want to win I feel like other need it more then I do . Thank you Tifanny for teaching me so much and thank you for taking your time for people like me to understand every stitch xoxo
Thank you so much for this series. I understood everything and used your method to create my own baby blanket. Whenever I would go to the store to purchase yarn, I would always buy too much yarn because I was just guessing. Now I don't need to guess anymore. Awesome tip!
So helpful!!! Thank you for sharing your process. I am guilty of never using the same yarn as the pattern calls for. And I never thought that I needed to do a swatch... always winging it. But then I run into problems with sizing🤦! I will definitely be using this process for tops and hopefully for hats.
Very informative! Now I can logically think of how to make a blanket than just doing it on a whim. Thanks Tiffany for helping us out with this. Love the swatch videos. 😊🙏🏽❤️
Hi Tiffany Hansen right now I am working on my cottage core mosaic blanket and granny squares blanket and single crochet blanket and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and what is your favorite crochet project to work on right now and favorite types of yarn to used when crocheting and keep up the great work on your RUclips channel
MY MOTHER WOULD HAVE LOVED TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION, I RECALL HER KEEPING HER WRAPS FROM HER YARNS TO MATCH UP DYE-LOTS IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH. AS FOR ME I FOUND THIS QUITE INFORMATIVE AND PLAN ON SAVING ALL EPISODES BECAUSE I KNOW I WILL NEVER REMEMBER IT🤯
Awesome info! I am so glad you did this video. I wondered how to figure these amounts. Sooo useful! I can now feel more confident in changing up stitch styles for blankets! Thank you for showing /sharing this process! Priceless to know!
You are so welcome Elizabeth!! I'm glad you found my video series helpful and can take what I taught and grow with it. I'm excited for you to play with the different stitch styles and blankets. 🤗🧶🧡
Thank you so much for all this great information. It was so helpful to me. I always wanted to know how to figure the amount of yarn needed for projects. Again, thanks for taking the time to do these tutorials. I love your channel.
Oh wow, this was so cool and helpful!! I did mess up with the number of rows as I tried to jump ahead of you and do the math in my head - except I forgot that the rows was multiplied by 2” and came up with 50, lol. 🙈 I’ll have to be more careful and aware of that the next time!!! This really was so eye opening and made total sense as I watched. Thank you so much for sharing!! 💜🧶
I love this!!!! Your Light-Bulb Reaction is what drives me and inspires me to keep doing what I do. More's coming! I'm having so much fun with this. 😁🧡🧶
Thanks Tiffany for the great information. I am more of a knitter, but it would be basically the same process. I did make a nice sweater recently that I used the swatch for a pocket, and that was nice.
Thanks so much for making this swatch series! I really understand how to do this now at least for a square. Are you going to make any to explain how to figure out how to do it for certain dimensions i mean like for a sweater you can’t just change the inches?
I'm so happy you like my Swatch Series Karen! To answer your question, YES! I am hoping to dive into my process on how I make everything that I make. This will be a new direction I take my channel coming January 2023. Not just showing people how to make my projects but show them HOW I made the pattern and hopefully guide anyone curious in the pattern making process. Thank you for the request for help making sweater patterns. I'll be sure to write that down so I can hit on it. 😊🧶🧡
@@CrochetWithTiffany I am so excited to hear that you’re doing that! It’s definitely something I would love to learn and nobody else is doing on their channels.
I'm so glad that you are learning a lot! I've had a few people ask me if I could create a worksheet for this swatch formula. Having it on paper might help out a lot. I'll announce when I have something created and ready for download. 😊🧡🧶
This is so greattttt. It has helped a whole lot. My only problem now is determining how to convert yards to grams. Because in my country here, the yarns are always written in grams in the packet, and not in yards. This is my only confusion
Gotcha! You can reference many yarns online for help with this. Take the yarn that is in the pattern or the RUclips video and google it or search for it online. See if you can find how much yarn is in the skein or ball of yarn. Most yarns will share the 4 terms of measurement yards/meters/ounces/grams. Once you can compare one degree of measurement you can figure out what all the other measurements will be. I hope this helps! It's converting and math. Once you figure it out it becomes a superpower that few people have cracked. You are SOOO close! You'll get it. 😁
If you wanted to stay close to the 40" width, you could have gone with 9 x 4.5" which equals 40.5". Then your calculation of the sts would have been much easier, too. Thank you very much for this video series. It is very important and not everyone understands it.
Ah man! You’re totally right! I missed that. Good catch! I hope this information helps people. It’s one of the most commonly asked questions. Empowering people to find this information is big. But I understand if some people have a harder time understanding. 😊❤️🧶
I’m so glad if I can be even a tiny bit helpful with this. It scares a lot of people off but if you can get it! Oh it’s like a hidden secret few people know. 🤗❤️🧶
Again, thank you so much for this series. Learned a lot! Also, just became a member. Why just now? No clue it was an option 😂seriously been following you for so long and it just never crossed my mind. Lol so excited about the pattern vault!!!!
Hi Michaela! I'm so excited for you to become a member to my channel. Unfortunately the pattern vault didn't last long as I had people join, download tons of patterns and then cancel. But I do offer my members discounts to my website that nobody else gets. IF you did have your heart set on a pattern when hearing about the pattern vault just let me know and I would be super happy to gift it to you. I just wanted to be transparent there. I hope you love being a member! I'm working on new and fun perks to add to each membership. 🤗🧶🧡
@@CrochetWithTiffany wow, that’s kindof crappy of people to do. Thank you for going through all these steps. !Math really does come in handy in life! Lol I’d probably have to watch this a few times. But I did love the process. ❤️
I made a baby blanket by using size 4 or Medium yarn instead of baby yarn and it totally turned into a math project which an associate at Michaels kindly spent the time with my pattern helping figure it out! I wonder if knitting does this much counting as I’m learning to knit, now!!!! Tx
Hi Anna! I'm so happy that an associate at Michaels helped you out with this! It's so great when someone can take the time to explain something in person. I believe that the process would be the same for knit as well however I don't knit so I can't be 100% certain on that. 😊🧡🧶
Tiffany, this is amazing. I admit I will need to study this in more detail to fully grasp it, and I must watch your other swatch videos. May I ask if this formula exists in written format on one of your platforms?….Thanks so much for your time and effort in presenting this information..😊………❤️Brenda
You are not the first to ask for the written form actually. I don't have one yet but I will put one together since it sounds like it will be most helpful in this process to have a worksheet to reference. :). I'm so glad you enjoyed my Swatch Series! 😊🧡🧶
Thank you thank you thank you lol. I so need this, I'm terrible when it comes to the math, I try, but most the time I only wing my patterns the best I can. I'm looking to create my own patterns so I'm so thankful for this series, I hope there will be more. If I want to do a sample blanket with diffrent stitches, would it be measured the same? Thank you again, I'm just starting out, though been crocheting since I was a child but swatches no lol but I'm gonna start doing them now :)
Hi Crochet Troops! That is a great question! So, for example, with the Crochet Sampler Blanket I am making right now in my crochet along, I had to work up a swatch for every single stitch I wanted to use in the blanket. See if the stitches would align with each other and work together and make sure that one stitch wasn't so much tighter that the work sucked in or the stitch wasn't so roomy that it pushed everything out. I then took the stitches I chose and did a super small sample of how I would work the stitches up together to see if they would in fact work and how the overall project would come out. I hope this helps! Definitely follow along with me in the Crochet Along to see how I go about this process. I'm going to be sharing my process of how I do everything along the way. 😊🧶🧡
I am so glad you enjoyed this video and hopefully the whole 4 part series. I've actually received quite a bit of interest in breaking down working in a round whether that is a beanie or a blanket worked from the center. YES! I am so excited to share that information as well. I think I will do a beanie series next since that is another top popular crochet project. This is going to be so much fun!! 🤗🤗🧡🧶
I got the basic math for blankets, but am still unsure with sweaters, especially adding ribbing to the bottom then doing your stitches for front & back, then sleeves. I am unsure how to swatch for that.
That is a great question Donna! I've actually received this question quite a lot. People are very curious to make sweaters or tops. I'm going to be adding that to my channel in the learning series 2023. 😁🧡🧶
Is there a system for figuring out circular projects like hats or pillows or puffs that are round? I am making your puff but could only find a 42” round insert available. I ran out of original yarn that I purchased for it(which I admit I guestimated),before It was completed. I hope not to repeat the error, and would feel more confident not having to guess again. Thank you in advance.
Hi Elizabeth! That is a great question! Yes, there is a formula you can follow for circular patterns. The math is definitely different. Every round you are adding stitches so there will be a variable involved. This is a question I have received a couple times and will definitely add it to my pattern creating series. Thanks for asking! 😊🧶🧡
I hope you do a video as well! Perhaps you can make these math formulas into a pdf on your webpage to go with the videos, it might be helpful for those who struggle with the math if they see the formulas first hand and can internalize them a bit before trying them out in a “calculation situation”. I thought you presented these videos quite thoroughly, but having the formulas on a ready made form for further reference might help even the best of us as a refresher! I went back and took notes. Good thing you can rewatch videos as much as you need (until it sinks in).
Hi Trisha! I think this could definitely work for hand crocheting as long as the stitch tension is consistent. What a great question! I hope this helps your mom! 😊❤️🧶
That is a really good question Christine! If you are one of the many people who have a tighter foundation row chain than your actual crochet rows, I would recommend starting with a crochet hook one size larger for your foundation row chain, and then switch to the crochet hook you want to use for the rest of the project in row 1. Then when you are getting your information, just identify in your notes that your foundation row was created with a different size crochet hook and how much yarn you used in the foundation, so when you are working up the actual project you know to begin with that specific hook and what results it produces. I hope this helps! 😊❤️🧶

Can not get it too much work! No time to sit and figure all that out! Not good at math! I will just crochet until i get to the length and width i want. Sorry nothing against u Tiff but this is way too hard!! I work a full time job so that would take me months to figure out! Lol!
Totally get it Karen! I mentioned in the video that I completely understand that everything I went over will not work for some people. And that is ok. I'm so glad you watched though and maybe in the future as you have more experience with different types of projects, maybe something will connect and make sense. Just keep enjoying crochet, enjoying the journey, and growing in you craft. 😊🧶🧡

I hope this helps! Definitely follow along with me in the Crochet Along to see how I go about this process. I'm going to be sharing my process of how I do everything along the way. 😊🧶🧡
Loving this video! Is there anyway you could do a video like this for crocheting in the round? Like a hat. Thanks again!
I am so glad you enjoyed this video and hopefully the whole 4 part series. I've actually received quite a bit of interest in breaking down working in a round whether that is a beanie or a blanket worked from the center. YES! I am so excited to share that information as well. I think I will do a beanie series next since that is another top popular crochet project. This is going to be so much fun!! 🤗🤗🧡🧶
I got the basic math for blankets, but am still unsure with sweaters, especially adding ribbing to the bottom then doing your stitches for front & back, then sleeves. I am unsure how to swatch for that.
That is a great question Donna! I've actually received this question quite a lot. People are very curious to make sweaters or tops. I'm going to be adding that to my channel in the learning series 2023. 😁🧡🧶

Is there a system for figuring out circular projects like hats or pillows or puffs that are round? I am making your puff but could only find a 42” round insert available. I ran out of original yarn that I purchased for it(which I admit I guestimated),before It was completed. I hope not to repeat the error, and would feel more confident not having to guess again. Thank you in advance.
Hi Elizabeth! That is a great question! Yes, there is a formula you can follow for circular patterns. The math is definitely different. Every round you are adding stitches so there will be a variable involved. This is a question I have received a couple times and will definitely add it to my pattern creating series. Thanks for asking! 😊🧶🧡
I hope you do a video as well! Perhaps you can make these math formulas into a pdf on your webpage to go with the videos, it might be helpful for those who struggle with the math if they see the formulas first hand and can internalize them a bit before trying them out in a “calculation situation”. I thought you presented these videos quite thoroughly, but having the formulas on a ready made form for further reference might help even the best of us as a refresher! I went back and took notes. Good thing you can rewatch videos as much as you need (until it sinks in).
Math rocks… not sure how you can actually make a blanket without it…
Can you use this method with hand crocheting? My mom does hand crochet and I think this video would help her.
Hi Trisha! I think this could definitely work for hand crocheting as long as the stitch tension is consistent. What a great question! I hope this helps your mom! 😊❤️🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffany thank you so much! 💙
👍👍👍 👍 👍 💯 💯 💯 😻😻😻😻😻
What happens if you start out tight and you get looser
That is a really good question Christine! If you are one of the many people who have a tighter foundation row chain than your actual crochet rows, I would recommend starting with a crochet hook one size larger for your foundation row chain, and then switch to the crochet hook you want to use for the rest of the project in row 1.
Then when you are getting your information, just identify in your notes that your foundation row was created with a different size crochet hook and how much yarn you used in the foundation, so when you are working up the actual project you know to begin with that specific hook and what results it produces. I hope this helps! 😊❤️🧶

@@CrochetWithTiffany thank you so much
Can not get it too much work! No time to sit and figure all that out! Not good at math! I will just crochet until i get to the length and width i want. Sorry nothing against u Tiff but this is way too hard!! I work a full time job so that would take me months to figure out! Lol!
Totally get it Karen! I mentioned in the video that I completely understand that everything I went over will not work for some people. And that is ok. I'm so glad you watched though and maybe in the future as you have more experience with different types of projects, maybe something will connect and make sense. Just keep enjoying crochet, enjoying the journey, and growing in you craft. 😊🧶🧡
