  • The Crochet Textured Life Blanket is an easy level blanket that is really fast to crochet. For new crocheters, this could be one of those blankets that are the very first blanket they ever crochet.
    There is a repeat of 4 rows that make this blanket. 2 of them are just straight across with single crochets. The front post trebles that jump down are strategically aligned to give the look. The tutorial will take you through that.
    Get the free pattern at thecrochetcrowd.com/crochet-t... #crochet #learntocrochet #crochettutorial .
    This video is closed-captioned for the deaf and hard-of-hearing communities. The captioning is also available in multiple languages such as Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese. The written pattern is only available in English. . *** .

      You can use any yarn for this pattern--you would just need more if it's a lighter weight. Another 6 weight yarn should work up similarly. You can also crochet your foundation chain however you want; the back loop just makes it look a little cleaner, but with thicker yarn you can't really tell the difference.

    @ashleyvincent1860 2 года назад +1

    This is the second tutorial I've seen using this yarn and I wasn't going to complain until you literally admitted you foresaw people having trouble following along because of it. If don't know why you've chosen this yarn, if it's yarn you particularly like or you just have a partial ball lying around, whatever the case may be; you know a yarn is going to be hard for people to see, don't use it. Or go ahead and make an extra swatch with it to use it up, but don't intentionally film with yarn you know is hard to see.
    I'm so confused; I've seen you do so many things to avoid frustrating your viewers - including switching to Red Heart Super Saver and filming a whole tutorial twice - once in a plush velvet, and again in a regular 4 worsted so people could see, that it's hard for me to accept when you intentionally use sub-optimal yarn and say "just do your best!"
    I wish you would make a list of best practices in your video and stick with them consistently. I've seen so many years worth of your content and it's such a mixed bag when it comes to ease of viewing. I know you're capable of filming an easy to follow tutorial using the best materials for accessibility and education, so when I hold you to a higher standard it's because I know you're capable of committing to consistently doing better.

    • @TheCrochetCrowd
      @TheCrochetCrowd  2 года назад +1

      You are not wrong. Sometimes though, I am forced to use the same yarn even if I don't want to. Stitch Alongs, for example, I am not allowed to substitute the colours or brand, even if its against my better judgement. We receive sponsorship and while I have flexibility, there are some hard lines in the sand that I cannot cross because I have bills to pay and a team to pay for.
      I am probably not the right host for you to follow to be frank. I do make mistakes. It is really interesting, at least to me. I can see clearly the stitches and the project on the table but the 300 Watts of light blast at the project over the camera's view and it can make it much harder and during the editing, it's damn because the angle of the camera is 6" over my eye view so the angle is slightly different.
      I am not filming things intentionally these days, even if coming at significant requests for things you mentioned above. It's better not to provide the resource when I cannot substitute then to do it and face off with a mistake in filming like you are eluding to.
      I'm sorry. Truly.
