Weighted Crochet Blanket

- Hi guys, first this is not my original idea 😊 the first beaded crochet blanket I found went back to 1997. Like most trends, they come back around. I have been seeing these on my FYP on tiktok lately and thought I'd give it a try. What do you think? So many variations you could do with this. Which is wonderful 😀

It looks very beautiful! Primary colors, with all white beads sounds good too! Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful idea, did you see the video where I used it with white cotton yarn with color specks. It's a purse for my granddaughter 😊💛
No, I'll watch later. But I'll bet she loves it.
BahBah... You bought a little pack of beads to try it out... I haven't tried it out and ordered $35 of pony beads..8,400 of them... Why do I do this??? lmao.. Silly me... Great video. thank you.
I'm like that usually, check out my haul video. Just us 2 colors. Just mean prepared for more projects
@@kb_crochet61 I sure got the yarn. lol Knit Picks haul x2... Eye candy for sure... Got to wait till Friday for the beads to get here.. I'm about an hour from the closest craft store.. So, its cheaper to order than drive. I'd sure burn up the road..
@PaulaKnits 🤣😂🤪 same used to live 10 minutes from micheals and hobby lobby now an hour. I may need to order online more. Herrchners is my favorite never ordered from knit pick🤔
@@kb_crochet61 KP, Brava sport, I'm in love with. Compliments caron late' cakes perfectly.. same weight and very soft. I love their dishy and for socks and shawls, their fingering yarns are wonderful.. I live in NC, so use thinner yarn, especially with crochet. It gets cold, but not usually for long. Love my knitted socks.. I'm like a vanilla sort, just knit.. I've had to work up a pattern for my feet specifically.. I do toe up so I can try them on as I go... I should probable be ashamed of how much yarn I have... But, I got 8,400 beads coming, hmmm Well, I'm going to be nuts for a week with lots of ploans, then when it gets here, I'll probably stare at it a week till something hits me like a rock...
@@kb_crochet61 I think these blankets will be good for autistic kids as comfort with the weight. I was going to sew some weighted blankets once, never ordered the stuff.. Don't even ask about machines, wool fluff for spinning and one weaving frame.... I've been like this since I was 6 and mom taught me to crochet.. (excuses)... (blame mom)... lol
Love my weighted blanket!!! Can’t sleep without it! This approach is interesting!!! ❤thanks for sharing this idea
Thank you Michi, Really appreciate you watching with your busy schedule, means a lot 😊💛
@@kb_crochet61 😉♥️ have to take breaks sometimes.
Really interesting blanket, I would have never thought about adding beads. Beautiful job!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you 💛😊
I wonder if we could use wooden beads to get the boho vibe.... they make the wooden beads with wide openings in the hair section at dollar tree. Thank you for sharing this neat idea.
Almost bought some yesterday to try, was unsure about if you could wash the blanket with wood beads. Will still probably try it just to see how it looks. 😊💛
@kb_crochet61 True I never thought about that. I know the ones in the hair section are meant for the hair, and you have to wash your hair So I wonder if they could withstand an occasional gentle wash and then lay flat to dry. Thank you for responding.
@@GKeile5 oh interesting, that might work. Appreciate the suggestion. 😊💛
I can’t believe this was uploaded less than 45 minutes ago. It’s exactly what I was looking for. Very well done! Thanks! 💗💗
Thank you 😊 hope it was helpful.
Wanted to add the tiktok creator who made this popular again Jess M. Thanks @PlayHookywithMe.
Hi you really do a Beautiful 😍 🤩 job
Thank you 😊 💛
I would like to use that as a decorative border.
I'd love to see that, good idea 😊💛
Very good! Thank you..
Thank you 😊
Love it love to make this into a throw. In joy your video
Thank you, I'm hoping to be able to calculate how many beads, for a bigger project, when I'm finished with the sample
I love this 💕🤩
Thank you, I'm working on a beaded purse for my granddaughter. Should be out soon 🙂
I chain 150 chains its very long an got beads (pony beads ) 3 bags little from dollar tree to try out ....
If you can, add another stitch. Foundation chain is multiple of 2 + 1 then 1 ch for turning. I'm planning a CAL if enough interest. Everyone can pick the size, a lapghan or bigger or just come and start to see how they like it. I started with this sample and have made a purse. Now for the big project, 😆 LOL dollar tree is great for trying new things. I'm definitely a fan 😊💛
White does get dirtier faster, so doin other colors of yarn. Yes black is hard to see, but is generic n classy. How much weight do the beads add to the swatch?
Yes please I would like to learn how to crochet this blanket
I have a start video using beige/tan yarn. If you want to check it out. Also a purse I made for my granddaughter. Once you know the formula it is easy to do. I'm going to experiment with wood beads soon. Thanks for watching 😊💛
Great idea. Using black on a white background makes a horrible shadow. 👥➿️
This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing it. BTW, may I suggest a lighted crochet hook for working with dark colored yarns? I have a set by Transplant and I find it helps a lot.
Thank you, I'm starting a beaded purse for my granddaughter. I didn't even think about a lighted hook, I have one, that would have helped a lot. Wonderful suggestion , I appreciate the help 💛😊
@@kb_crochet61 😃❤ You're more than welcome.
@@Selena-T629 😊💛
THANK YOU!!! Iv been wanting to see this done before I start iv just ordered my beads and have my yarn all ready! You stitches are out of frame a lot sorry just saying 😊
I'm so sorry, I have another video up show it from start. Please check it out. Getting ready to make a beaded purse for my granddaughter. Will share that too. Always thank you for letting me know if there is an issue. It's how I learn and improve videos for everyone 😊💛
@@kb_crochet61 Don’t worry hun everyone has to start somewhere, it just takes time and nice people who can tell the truth so you can improve. I can’t wait to see the purse!!! ❤️
@@aussiegypsy62 that true 😁💛
Hey! Love this idea, I'm just wondering, are you able to wash these blankets?
I've read that some can, depending on yarn care instructions. I'd use cold/warm gentle cycle since they are plastic. I wouldn't put them in the dryer. Afraid they would break. I'd try first with a swatch just to make sure. Hope this helps 😊💛
@@kb_crochet61I have wool dryer balls and I’d probably try this on the “Air” or “Cool” temp on a “Gentle” cycle.
Definitely don’t add any heat to this. ❤
@@torakfett3351 good idea, could you image the mess it would be if the beads melted 🥴
What size pony beads are you using ?
These are from Wal-Mart the wholes measures approx. 6cm bead size 6X9cm. I want to experiment with different sizes and shapes.
@@kb_crochet61JustVintageCrochet here on YT has made some beautiful beaded things using, wouldn’t ya know it, vintage crochet patterns! Such tiny beads too! 😂 I could never!
@@torakfett3351 wow, I've never tried small one but they are beautiful
I like it, if you could make a video to show how to start it it would be nice. I would prefer a lighter color of yarn like brown. Thanks
I have a beige/tan I can use 😁 just had surgery on my wrist but if I can I'll work on a video for this 😊
