I love the stitch choice for May!! I’m a big fan of the post stitches. Thanks Tiffany!!❤
I can't wait to try this, but i just ripprd out my month April. I was not happy with the way it looked. Will start it over and then go on to May. Thanks Tiffany.
I took Tiffany's suggestion and worked the linen stitch with the J hook as my tension tends to be tight. It helped keep my sides straight.
Hello! I’m always happy for the new stitch. Looks like fun.
I am so excited for this one!! It’s been on my ‘to try’ list. 💓
Excited to try this stitch... thanks for the great tutorial!
I think I’m just going to do my own stitch for the month of May. I have pulled this thing out so many time and I just can’t anymore or I’ll just toss it in the trash. I don’t know if it’s menopause brain fog, but I can not end up with 192. I also don’t end on the same stitches in the video which means I’m doing FBDC instead of BPDC and 2 each stitches. I really had high hopes that this blanket would be beautiful but I guess not. Not to be this person but I kinda miss the days of the older videos version of Tiffany. I am really happy for your successful RUclips channel but remember it was us OG’s that helped get you there. Now we need to pay for more detailed help.
I completely understand where you're coming from Kathleen. What sucks is that being my older version here on RUclips penalized me with the algorithm.
I found myself spending days working on videos and projects that would pay me $10 as a return. That amount of time away from my children and husband as well as not being able to contribute to my household for such a small return caused me to have to figure out a whole different way to be here on RUclips. As you can see I've had to change a lot about my videos and presentation here on RUclips to play the Algorithm game. But over in my Crochet Club Membership you get the original me. I can actually be there for my people in the way I want to be. I can be live with you, do projects with you that YOU want to do not just what will get the most views. I can be that person you miss, and I am that person. On top of that, I really kept people in mind when I chose how much to make the membership. $5.99/month is the cost of one cup of coffee or one crochet pattern each month. For the amount of value I provide over there and the amount of time I am dedicating away from my family to be there for people, I think that is a steel.
With the way RUclips is changing everything about their platform and what people want to see, you will see a huge change happening with the content creators. I'm sorry that it's not like it use to be. But it's never going back. I just hope my side platform IS what you miss and that you give it a try.
If you would like to just take a peek here is the link: members.crochetwithTiffany.com
I will never forget my OG's and the people who have got me to where I am. You are my foundation that lifts me up. I will forever be grateful to you. Thank you for all of you love and support. ❤️❤️❤️
Pretty and fun Stitch 😊will be fun to see it work up❤
This is so much fun. Helps to keep me mind organized. Also have 2 other works in progress.
Such a pretty stitch!
Still a little cool in Michigan ❤️😇♥️ this is a really pretty stitch, thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Tiffany Hansen right now I am working on my cottage core mosaic blanket and granny squares blanket and half double 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 and keep up the great work on your crochet projects
I'm having the same problem as Karen Sooley. I'm sure you have a solution thank you so much.
Good morning ❤thank you 😊 spring ☀ summer 🌺🦋🌷🪻⚘️🌻🪷🌹🌸🧶
So excited for the May stitch!!
I’m loving my blanket so for except for one color. Oh well, it’s too late to change it now. Thankfully it’s my lowest temperature and I live in South Florida so I won’t have that many rows of it. 😂
Thank you for another great stitch! I can't wait to add this to my already beautiful blanket! Can you please tell me the name of the tan colored blanket behind you? It's absolutely gorgeous! Thanks again! 🙂
Hello! I wish you would show more than one sequence when teaching a new stitch. Working the pattern for a few repeats would be very helpful. Thank you
I appreciate the feedback! Thank you so much for sharing. I will keep this in mind in the future. 😊❤️🧶
Love this stitch. The blanket is going to be so nicely textured. I am only doing one color per month- my non temperature blanket. I am loving the pattern changes. I do finish each month early because I can work it every day, so when I’m done (early) I wait patiently for the next pattern - just like waiting for Santa!
I am doing that too. I confess that I don’t like to change colors that often. I also crochet ahead and wait for the next stitch.
@@terri2718 I think it will look good showcasing each different stitch on its own.
@@lesliebowles3649 I thought that also. I’m really pleased with it. Tiffany is choosing really nice stitches.
Leslie I am also using one color per month!
Lol...I am laughing because I have been working on a basket weave blanket for a month now. I told my husband "if you hear me say anything about basketweave, remind me to not do it "! Too funny. I
😂
Thanks Tiffany. I'm also looking forward to working with some new colors as we head into warmer months. One question, I noticed that you did not mention stitch count in the video nor is it listed on the May pattern. Are we still working with the 191 count? Best regards, Kelly
Great temperature blanket idea, but it's always seems so confusing on the beginning row of each new month with either the count or the tension being off, and having to redo it over and over again to get it just right... with all that being said......Blanket is coming along beautiful!
I'm not quite ready for May. I'll check back.
On yr video u have us doing a fbdc but on pattern row 2 has us doing a bpdc?. Same with row 4 being opposite of 3?
Thanks for pointing this out Sharon! I'll look into this. 😊🧶❤️
@@CrochetWithTiffany I’m confused about this too
❤❤❤❤❤
Where can I get the wooden plates that you attach your yarn to work the temperature increments?
Etsy LauretteCraftsUK
Hi Tiffany, I'm doing a temperature blanket for 1964. Feb of that year was a leap year so if I follow that I only have 15 days in May. Should I take out the leap year or put the last row of May in June. Thanks for your help Wendy
That is a great question Wendy! I would go ahead and take the first day of June and add it to May to give you that 16th day and even out the Basketweave. Shhhh, no one will ever know. 😄😄😄❤️🧶🧶🧶
I'm enjoying this project but on the new stitch I can't the first row to end with 3 bd crochets. Infact the last time I ended with 3fd,s +a stitch. I started with 191stitches and can't get it together on either one. Doing 1 for hi temps & the other for low temps. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi C Bonn. I think I responded to your most recent question but just in case I'll answer here too. Our main goal for row 1 is to achieve 192 stitches per row to get the pattern to work. Be careful not to confuse the Linen stitch turning chain as a stitch to work into. You will want to count your stitches here.
In that last stitch, Hopefully the 3rd Front Post Dc. You will also want to make a Dc stitch on top of that same stitch to get the count to work. By making both stitches in and around that last stitch space you will be able to go from 191 stitches per row in the Linen stitch row to 192 stitches in the Basketweave stitch row.
IF you need more help or guidance with this I highly encourage you to give my Crochet Club Membership a try! There I have weekly LIVES with Zoom options where you can show me what you are working with and I can help you immediately right there.
Go to members.CrochetWithTiffany.com to get started! I really hope to see you there! 😊🧶❤️
Hi Tiffany. So for this month we are going back to the original “I” hook size?
Give it a try, if your stitches lay better with a bigger hook then stick with that. 😊❤️🧶
Hi Tiffany. I have followed along with row 1 of the basket weave pattern, no problem However, at the end of row 1 I have 3 FPDc followed by 1 BPDc & 1 DC in the last stitch which is not what you have. Is this because you're working on a smaller sample & not the full 192 count? Reason why I'm asking is because when I turn my work for row 2, I chain 2 & then I have only 1 FPDc followed by 3 BPDc. I'm using size 4 wt. yarn & I have 192 stitches & I rechecked my work multiple times. Has anyone else had this problem? Tiffany can you help me? Thanks!
Hi Mrs. S.! Honestly, if you are working your project and ending with 192 stitches in your row that's great! What I would do is, instead of making your last stitch a post AND Dc I would just make your last stitch a Dc. That way you can keep the post stitches clean 3 and 3. I hope this helps! 😊🧶❤️
Question? I have 3 days left at the end of the month. Should I do row 1and 2 and carry the last day over to next month.
Honestly go for it. Changing the amount of rows won’t hurt anything. 😊❤️🧶
Tiffany - I ran off a copy of the pattern; however, please correct me if I am wrong - the written pattern and the video do not line up. Row 1 is FPDC Row 2 is BPDC Row 3 is BPDC and Row 4 is FPDC. Please clarify for me - Thank you!! Ro
That’s right. It will make more sense when you work it up. Row 2 will look like the opposite or row 1 because we want those stitches to look the same as we work the first 2 rows. Then row 3 we flip everything. Haha, it does not make sense just reading the pattern, but as you turn your work it will make more sense.
It appears to me that the double crochet at the beginning and the end adds two extra stitches. 192 is divisible by 3 - so with the two extra stitches that would make 194 stitches per row correct? 64 trios of post stitches plus a double crochet at the beginning and at the end of each row. Is that the intent?
Hi Ruth. Honestly, I'm not sure how the count ended up working for me but it did the 3 times I worked up the basketweave stitch off of the Linen stitch. Yep, we are working that chain 2 in the beginning which counts as our first Dc and will take that first stitch space. Then work that group of 3 posts/3 posts across, ending with a Dc stitch in the last stitch space. If you do not have to make your last Dc stitch in the same stitch you make your last post stitch like I did then GREAT! Don't worry about following me exactly, just make sure the pattern works. 😊❤️🧶
Tiffany or anyone please help answer a question for me. I understand that the Baske weave is a 4 row repeat. So I’m planning on crocheting the 4 rows twice per week. Is that correct? Or do I only complete half of the 4 row repeat per week? Thanks 😊
Hi Ramona. Great question. First, print out the calendar card that I have ready for you OR take a physical calendar and circle every OTHER day. You will figure out the temperature for the circled days only. Then make only ONE row per circled day. I hope that helps. 😊🧶❤️
@@CrochetWithTiffany oops I forgot to mention that I am working the size 5 weight temp blanket. I appreciate it
At the beginning of this, you commented that the stitches we would use would be beginner friendly. I'm a beginner, and this stich isn't really friendly, lol! What would you recommend for me instead of it? I thought about doing the January stitch again.
I totally understand Diana. Feel free to replace the Basketweave stitch with a Double Crochet stitch. If you are looking for a substitution for the crunch stitch I would just use a single crochet stitch. 😊❤️🧶
Thank you, I'll use the double crochet 😊.
I'm really anxious to do the May stitch but haven't received the correct instructions😢 for row 1. I would appreciate it, if you know, please reply. Thanks
Hi C Bonn. The instructions are right. If it would help you out, some people are making one or two rows of Single Crochet stitches between April's stitch and May's stitch to break it up. That makes it easier to make those post stitches for May's Basketweave stitch. Be mindful to have a loose stitch tension here. Otherwise it will be more difficult to make that post stitch.
The pattern for row 1 should go: slip stitch in the first stitch space to attach the yarn to the blanket.
Chain 2 (counts as the first stitch and will take that first stitch space)
Front Post Double Crochet around the next 3 stitches, Back Past Double Crochet around the following 3 stitches.
Repeat the 3 and 3 post stitches across the blanket. Last stitch will be both a post stitch AND a Double Crochet stitch to
make the count work for the pattern. (refer to the video for a visual example of me doing this)
I hope this helps! For more help or information check out my Crochet Club Membership on my website www.CrochetWithTiffany.com. I have a whole chat room and forum dedicated to this Temperature/Sampler Blanket where you can ask questions AND weekly Live meetings where you can ask your question and I can get back to you immediately in person.
I hope you check it out and consider joining! Would love to have you a part of it. 😊🧶❤️
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to recount my stitches for my last linen stitch row and see what happens. If I still end row 1 with 3 fpc & 1 stitch I will deal with it. Thank you so much. I think I will sign up with your group, sounds very informative and fun. Again, thank you. Have a great day!
Sorry. I just started working on the blanket in June. Idk what I did wrong, but my sides are looking terrible. Please tell me there's an easy fix for this. And the basket weave stitch I've ripped apart not 1 but 7 times. 😢 I'm trying very hard not to throw in the towel.
Hi @vvwilliams366. I completely understand where you are coming from. Maybe the comment section of each stitch video can help put your mind at ease. February's Bead stitch threw everyone off. But if you stayed on count you will be fine when we put a border around the blanket.
The other issue was stitch tension. When working a project that has multiple different patterns you have to be mindful of your tension and know when to really loosen up or tighten up to keep the sides of your work straight. This is purely something you have to eyeball. When you change stitches for the month, work a couple rows, set it down, see if the sides are staying straight or if you need to go back and loosen up. Also, make sure to keep count. Many people have chosen not to count and got themselves in a big stitch defecate. If at any point you find a stitch to just not work for you feel free to substitute it out with a Sc, Hdc or Dc stitch depending on what stitch is used in the original pattern. For example, I wouldn't replace the Shell stitch with a Hdc or sc stitch. It used Dc stitches in the shell so use a plain Dc across the row.
I hope this helps. Working blankets like this can be a completely new experience for people and present with it's own challenges. If you find that it's just a little too much that is perfectly ok! Know your abilities at the moment, keep practicing, and you can always come back to this project in the future. 😊❤️🧶
Too far into it to go pull apart. I just completed May. I think the lighter color of yarn is making edges look crazy. IDK. I hope to clean this up with a border.
Question about The written pattern for May . Is row 2 shown in the video actually row 1 in the written pattern ? Confusing to me :(
Hi Lynn! My apologies for the confusion. The idea for the Basketweave pattern is that for row 1, you will have a repeat pattern of 3 Front Post Dc and 3 Back Post Dc. Row 2, you will want to make the look of that stitch continue up one more row so that it is more pronounced and easy to see. But with Row 2, we have to turn out work. This is where is gets really confusing to type out the instructions and makes more sense with the visual aide.
Basically, for row 2, you will want to look at the row below and repeat whatever stitch you see for row 2. This will help keep the look of the stitch from row 1, elongating those post stitches.
For Row 3, we do our chains, and turn the work.
For row 3 we want to reverse the pattern from what we see in the row below to give us that BASKETWEAVE look.
Refer to the stitches you made in row 2 and do the opposite. If you see a Front Post Dc in row 2, you will make a Back Post Dc on top.
If you see a Back Post Dc in row 2, you will make a Front Post on top.
Unfortunately, if you are purely looking at the instructions and not working it out, it will look like you are doing the exact same stitches in row 2 and row 3. AND you are! But because you turned your work, everything is flip flopped.
Again, this is not the easiest stitch to explain over text. If you would like more assistance with this please consider joining me over in my Crochet Club Membership on my website www.CrochetWithTiffany.com where we have weekly LIVE meetings and I can visually and verbally walk you through what to do and answer your questions immediately.
Best wishes!
Thanks for the reply. I think I got it .
My bad ... I now see the stitch count and we are back to 192 (March's count) and not 191 (April's stitch count) .... very confusing. Any help as to where we are to add back in a stitch?
at about 7mn 38 sec she shows you how to add the stitch back in at the end of the first row.
@@karenrissmann5622 Thank you so much!!
I’m not sure if this has happened to anyone else. At the end of row 1 where I’m joining the linen stitch, I ended up with three FPDC and one BPDC at the end. Tiffany…should this have happened or have I got something done wrong? I had 191 stitches with my linen stitch.
Should it be 63 (3 stitches) of FPDC and BPDC for a total of 189 plus DC at beginning and end for a total of 191?
I am having the same problem. I'm doing 2 temps, 1 for high & 1 for low temps. I have this problem on both of them.
I have the same problem. If you start and end the row with a DC, that leaves 190 sts for the basket weave st. 190 isn't divisible by 3, but 192 is. Please help. Thanks
@CrochetWithTiffany please help
Hi Karen! And everyone else. Ok, Our goal is to have your blanket hit with 192 stitches per row. If your last stitch needs to NOT be a post stitch but instead you are able to end with a Dc stitch that's Great!
What we want out of the pattern: slip stitch into the first stitch space to attach the yarn to the project.
Chain 2, SKIP that first stitch space.
Work 3 Front Post Dc's
Work 3 Back Post Dc's
Repeat 3 and 3 across row.
For me, that last stitch was a Front Post Dc that I then had to also make a Dc stitch on top of to get me those 192 sts.
Careful not to confuse the turn chain as a stitch to post around from that last Linen stitch row.
IF anything, focus on the stitch count of the row NOT what LOOKS like a stitch space to work around.
As long as you can get that stitch count to hit 192 in this row, that's all that matters.
For more help and visual guidance PLEASE check out my Crochet Club Membership where there is a whole Chat Forum dedicated to the Temperature Blanket AND weekly LIVES including Zoom access where I can see what you're working with and give you immediate feedback and help in person.
Go to memberships.CrochetWithTiffany.com to try my 10-Day Free trial and get in on one or two LIVES.
There is also a membership option for monthly One-On-One's with me where we can work through whatever projects you want exclusively. 😊🧶❤️
Tiffany I’m confused. Your written instructions don’t match the video. I end with the stitch you do but I don’t start with the stitch you do. Help. 😢
Hi Denise. Oh gosh, would you be willing to consider joining me over in the Crochet Club where you can share pictures of your work with me OR even join one of my Lives where I can see you and your work so that I can better help you with the project?
It would make it so much easier for me to sort out your question. I even have a 10-Day free trial so you can come right in!
This week's Wednesday meeting is a "Show & Tell" night so it will be quite busy with everyone sharing what they are working on. But I will have a meeting Saturday May 13th at 11am CST that you could attend and ask your question right there.
I hope this will work for you.
Otherwise, I would say try to rewatch what I am doing in the video and if you need to feel free to slow down the video by clicking on settings/ playback speed/ slowing it down.
Best wishes!
I get so confused on this stitch!
I completely understand. If you would like to substitute this stitch out for a regular double crochet stitch feel free to do so that way you are making your stitches the same height and it will look clean. 😊❤️🧶
Actually you should have 4 repeats not 3 since 16/4 is 4
You got me.... Now I'm embarrassed. 🤦🏼♀️❤️🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffany no need to be embarrassed we all make mistakes
Sorry to say I’ve had a really difficult time with April’s linen stitch.I’ve ripped it out several times.I went up a hook size and tried to crochet loosely,but it still pulls the work from before in.Yours looks a lot better than mine🥲
I know what you mean. Despite the Linen stitch being an easy stitch, it is very easy to work this stitch tightly. I had to actively make a looser stitch myself to make sure everything laid flat and aligned. If the Linen stitch is causing too much trouble, feel free to substitute it out with a regular Single Crochet stitch so to keep the height of the stitches the same. 😊😊❤❤🧶🧶
Can you suggest which size of the needles are ideal for which thickness of yarn.
Thank you.
Me too
I went up a hook size for April. I am really hop when I start May this weekend that it starts balancing out. Or the end border Tiffany is planning straightens everything out. I am enjoying this blanket though.
