Great pattern! Just one stitch short of being the blanket stitch pattern. This gives a very similar look but a bit less texture. 👍
I agree! Very fun stitch!
Love it
Thanks!
I’ve been looking for a new blanket to make for my newest granddaughter 😍 I’m sure that I’ll make her several different blankets seeing how she’s going to be my last grandchild! It’s a miracle she & my daughter made it through the emergency C-Section, she was 10 weeks premature and spent a month in the NICU before she was able to finally came home! She’s got twin brothers and the oldest brother then a sister who’s 5 going on 25! I’ve already have the beautiful yarn 🧶 to make this blanket and I’ll most likely make her sister the same blanket just larger. Thanks for sharing this beautiful blanket!
You’re very welcome! I’m so glad your daughter and granddaughter are doing well. I’m sure she’ll be very happy wrapped in a beautiful baby blanket! Enjoy this pattern and happy crocheting 😊🧶
@@AmandaCrochets Thank You 🙏 for your kind words, and Thank You again for making such a beautiful blanket!
i like the colorway of your blanket.. it reminds me of Neapolitan ice cream :) very pretty!!
Thanks! You’re right it does!
Love your work
@@carolynyoung6704 Thanks!
I just came across your video.. I’ve literally watched hundreds of videos and NOBODY has explained as good as you 😍 I have these 3 colors (separate not cake) and I’m going to do this one. Thank you for being so kind and patient and going slow and explaining this stitch!! I sent this to myself and saved it.. going to watch your other videos 😍😍😍
This makes me so happy to hear! I’m glad this tutorial helped you! I try and go slow for beginners and explain the stitches clearly. Hope you enjoy my other tutorials 😊🧶
@@AmandaCrochets your other videos are just as amazing!! Seriously thank you for making these slow breakdown videos, it helps me so much and I feel like I can actually make stuff for people now 😭
You also make it to where I want to crochet again 🥰 you are an amazing TEACHER!!
Aw thank you!!!
You’re very welcome 😊😊🧶🧶
😮😊 Non conosco la tua lingua ma il video che ho mi ha dato lo spunto per eseguirlo e ho fatto qualche prova ad uncinetto e devo dire che è molto bello questo punto di facile esecuzione e fra una maglia bassa e una alta il connubio è molto bello. Grazie per questo punto di uncinetto 🎉 lo eseguirò ancora. ❤❤Grazie per la tua disponibilità 😘 😊❤❤🎉😊❤🎉 Lida da Livorno Italia 🇮🇹 🎉 🎉
Hi Lida! Thank you so much for watching my tutorial! I’m glad you enjoyed it. This is a very pretty stitch. Happy crocheting 🧶
That's so pretty....it looks like neopolitan ice cream! :)
Yes it does!
Beautiful blanket and easy to do!! For the size you show how many cakes did you use? Thank you!!
Thanks! I used two cakes for this blanket.
Hi and thanks for the great vid! You’re strips are terrific and placed perfect. Question, did you cut the yarn for color placement or let the rows stripe naturally?
Thank you! For this pattern, the stripes flowed naturally from the skein. I guess I was just lucky :)
Beautiful design! If I was to make this blanket for my great-grandmother on her 90th birthday, and I wanted to make a throw blanket for when she gets chilly while sitting outside or on the couch, how many cakes would you use? I searched how many inches a throw blanket usually would be and it says 52x60.
Thank you! For a throw size blanket I would probably get 4-5 cakes. I like buying a little more than I need just to make sure I have enough yarn for that project. Hope that helps! 😊
Amanda what is a good substitution for the Caron cotton cakes I’m having a hard time finding it. Thank you
Some close substitutes would be yarn bee lil’ dollop, Bernat softee cotton (baby cotton included), or lion brand comfy cotton.
Beautiful. I would like to make one using no.3 weight yarn. How many stitches will I need to chain?
Thanks! Yes, you can use whatever yarn you’d like. I can’t say how many chains you’ll need so you’ll have to follow the stitch multiple I mention in the video. Good luck!
I bought 2 cakes of Blush and Bloom today and nearly keeled over at the price! $12.99 apiece, but the blanket is going to be gorgeous!
Wow that’s crazy! I hope you enjoy making this blanket!
Hi, I've never used cakes, your colour changes look neat, if I was to make a throw size blanket, would the colours change along the rows,( mid row) sorry I'm not making myself very clear
Hello! I understand what you mean. The best advice I can give regarding cake yarns is this: I try and match the centers of my cakes up. I also try and make sure the color changes look the same on each cake. This doesn't always happen, but if you try and get matching centers, I noticed the color changes seem to look even enough. If this doesn't happen nicely, I usually take apart the cake and grab the colors that I need. A little bit of hassle, but it's worth it to get a nice clean look to your project. I hope that makes sense :)
Hi Amanda, I love your tutorials! Just a quick question, how many total rows did the blanket end up being? Thank you so much!
Hello! I didn’t exactly count how many rows my blanket ended up being. I just kept going until it was the length I wanted.
I am a new subscriber. I am making the tidal wave queen size blanket now and you are so right it is easy. I am going to make my daughter a blanket with this stitch soon. Thank you for making it so easy for me to make these blankets. If I want to make a twin size what should the foundation chain be? I think about 200 to 220
Thank you so much for subscribing! It means a lot to me. I’m so happy you’re enjoying the tidal wave blanket. It’s a very fun blanket! Yes, I think 200-220 chains for the grit stitch blanket would be perfect. You can always lay it over the bed and see if it’s wide enough. Good luck and happy crocheting! 😊🧶
@@AmandaCrochets Thank you so much. I look forward to learning more from you. Stay safe and healthy. God Bless
You’re very welcome!
This looks lovely, I love the colour blend!
I wanted to ask is this stitch the same as the wattle stitch?
Thank you! This stitch is most similar to the Suzette stitch. The only difference is how the blanket is started with the different chain multiples. The wattle stitch is a little different to this.
Beautiful...did you color control?
Not usually. However it seemed to work out nicely with this blanket! 😊
Could you explain again the stitch count multiple if I wanted to make a crib blanket and lap blanket. Thank You
Sure! You need a multiple of 2 (2,4,6,etc). Once satisfied with your width, you will add 3 chains to the very end. Hope that helps!
Thank you so many to chain for a crib or lap size.
I just finished making this blanket for my Goddaughter who she, her husband and two boys are waiting on the arrival of a daughter in March 2022. Is their a border I can add to the blanket? Thank you for the tutorial you made it so easy to follow and love the cotton yarn. Merry Christmas.
How exciting! For a border, you can add whichever border you’d like. I decided not to add one to this blanket. However, if you wanted to add a border, I usually use a simple single crochet border. You could also try a herringbone half double crochet border. This is the border I used for my Suzette baby blanket. I hope that helps! Happy holidays!!🎄
@@AmandaCrochets thank you for all the suggestions. I didn’t have a lot of yarn left and didn’t want to make a special trip to Michaels. So I did the picot’s border you had a tutorial on it turned out nice. Giving as a Christmas present. Thank you so very very much for all your tutorials. Merry Christmas 🎄 and may the New Year see your channel grow exponentially, good health and happiness.
I’m about halfway finished with my blanket. The bottom of it where I started is stretching out. Will blocking it when I finish help with the stretching?
It’s possible, but I’m not sure. If it’s too stretched out, I don’t think blocking would help. I suggest going down a hook size for your next blanket if you notice your tension is loose.
When using different colors, would you change on the chain 1 at the beginning of a row?
When changing colors at the beginning of the row, I will make the last stitch but not complete it. Then I will yarn over with the new yarn and then change 1. Hope that helps!
Love this stitch Amanda but Caron cotton cakes is so not soft for baby
They were soft for me unless they changed the feel of them since I’ve used them last. It’s been a while.
When I do my first chain, I’m following the exact steps but when I look at it, the bumps that should be on the back somehow also show up in the front so my stitches look great up to a certain part but then the flat part ends in the back and bumps in front! Why is that and what can I do assure my first chain stays consistent with the v’s in the front and bumps in the back
When you make your chains, it can be a little difficult to keep your chain from twisting. To keep it more consistent, I usually hold the chains right under where I’m working. I also move my hands up as I make more chains as well. Hope that answers your question 😊
What border do you recommend for this stitch
I used a single crochet border for this blanket. I’m sure any border would be pretty!
If you were to add a border, what type would you do?
I usually make one round of single crochet for my borders. However you can do a half double or double crochet border if you’d like as well.
How is this different from the Suzette stitch h?
It’s pretty much the same stitch, but the beginning is a little different. A lot of crochet stitches have different names but they’re the same stitch.
Beautiful how long did it take you for that size my daughter just asked me to make a afghan for my grandson's teacher she is having baby in March I'm looking for a quick afghan
It all depends on how fast you can crochet. I believe this took me about a week to a week and a half to complete. It’s a one row repeat, so it works up quickly. 😊
@@AmandaCrochets thank you for responding back and so fast it just might work out problem is now I got to make one for myself
I can't get over how much this stitch is like the Suzette stitch. Am I wrong just thinking the only big difference is that you count the chain one as a single crochet where you don't count the chain one as a single crochet when you do the Suzette stitch?
I'm currently doing an afghan using the Suzette stitch...its exactly the same except what you just explained about the ch 1 being used as the 1st sc. But this is definitely the Suzette. Maybe it has two names?
Yes, this is a very similar stitch to the Suzette stitch. Many crochet stitches are similar, but might just be called different names. The only difference is the beginning of each row as you mentioned.
Yes, I've come across different crochet stitches that are the same, but have different names. Another example of this is the moss stitch and granite stitch.
If you have a video for the baby ripple stitch, I would really love it. I have watched so many and I can't seem to get all the rows to line up. It's so frustrating. I hope you can help.
I have a few videos on ripple stitches. Check out my channel as I made one a few videos ago. Enjoy!
@@AmandaCrochets thank you. I hope it works this time
Let me know!
@@AmandaCrochets YES IT WORKED THIS TIME!!! Thank sooo much, you really are a great teacher
@@denisebroady4943 WONDERFUL!!! I'm so glad to hear :) :) :)
What's the difference between this one and Suzette?
The two stitches are very similar.
What is the difference between Suzette and grit stitch?
The two stitches are very similar, but the difference is how they're started. The grit stitch is a chain multiple of 2+1 and the Suzette stitch is a chain in any even number. Hope the helps a little!
Looks like neopoleton ice cream. Love it.
Thanks!
Is there a written pattern
Yes! If you click the “more” underneath the video, you will see the link to the written pattern 😊
Sorry I am confused ... you said make a chain that is a multiple of two plus one & then add 2 more for foundation chain. Your foundation chain was 123 but how many chains are in subsequent rows 121?
Yes that’s correct!
@@AmandaCrochets Thank you.
Not sure how this is different from the suzette stitch... thanks!
This is very similar to the Suzette stitch 😊
@@AmandaCrochets I don't see the difference, can you tell me what the difference is?
@@ImGinaMarie The only difference is the beginning of each row and how it starts out.
@@AmandaCrochets ok thanks
@@ImGinaMarie you’re welcome!
I really do think that it would be a good idea for beginners to actually put the stitch marker to show them not just point to it because it is a little confusing. I am a beginner and I would have liked to have seen that. Thank you.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you for your reply. I did end up using the stitch markers and I am halfway done with my project. Thanks again for taking the time to answer.
@@marietroutman4584 you’re welcome!
For 52 inches blanket how many stitches i need ?
To change the width of this blanket, you will need a multiple of 2+1. This means you will chain any multiple of 2 and add 1 more chain to the very end.
@@AmandaCrochets thanks alot
Can u please tell me the dimensions of this blanket?
Hello, I mention this at the beginning of the video. The blanket is 34 inches wide by 32 inches long. Thanks!
Isn't this the suzette stitch?
It’s a very similar stitch
My first time trying to make a blanket for my first daughter!! Do you know how many chains I would need if I wanted to do 48” x 60”?
I would maybe try 163 chains and measure to see if that’s the width you need. You can also change up the sizing by making a chain in a multiple of 2 and adding 1 additional chain to the very end. To make your blanket length longer, you will simple crochet more rows. Hope that helps!
@@AmandaCrochets thank you so so much !! I suscribed to your channel and look forward to checking out other videos!! You are very thorough and informative! I appreciate you taking your time to respond
