I absolutely LOVE that you talk about making mistakes...it seems that when people do these videos, their work is always perfect. Thanks so much, for making me feel normal!
She really knows what she's doing and is an excellent teacher! I have probably watched six or seven other people tried to demonstrate this and still could not quite get it until I watched this video. Thank you! From a very non crafty kind of person who wants to learn something new
I had bought so much chunky yarn and I’ve watched other videos and almost gave up. You were clear and didn’t skip around and you made it feel okay to mess up which in my opinion made your video stand out so much thank you love ❤️❤️
A little tip is to count the number of loops you have every so often or every time you finish a row to make sure you didn’t miss a loop/stitch! I used to crochet and counting my stitches every other row helped me😊
Made this with 6 rolls of the yarn and made a huge queen sized blanket in the color vintage white. It will make for a great holiday gift. Thank you for sharing!
Hi u say 6 is plenty is it certain amount on roll or only come in 1 type roll i have 6 now in store i want make sure it enuff i guess it only come 1 way
I’ve so many of these videos and they’ve all left me confused until I watched YOURS!!! Thank you for being so wonderful and showing step by step instructions, I think I’ve been inspired to give one a try!!
I really appreciate your honesty about various yarns you have worked with that are in your other vids too. I also like that you don't use a glaring white background too - LOL. Most of other channels don't tell you how certain yarns shed or are not easy to use or work with, etc., etc. thank you!!
I have made so many of these now I’ve lost track. You’re my hero! Thanks for teaching me 🥰 These blankets are treasured by everyone who gets them and they don’t take long to make!
I tried this and HOLY COW IT WAS EASY! I love how you went at a pace I could follow and explained what you were doing, why you were doing it, and most of all, the material information(where you got it, about how much it cost, stretchiness, etc!) THANKS SO MUCH! Super fun project!
This is my favorite chunky blanket tutorial and this is the first one I’ve watched with a color change. You have such an awesome personality that comes through in your tutorials. I hope you continue with your channel!!
The few I managed to find are either confusing or skip past incorporating the new color. Now that I've seen it done, I suppose it seems obvious to the people who have been doing it for a long time. Until about 15 minutes ago, I was by intimidated by doing this. Now I'm ready to go.
I absolutely enjoyed watching this. I have arthritis so I had to be creative with how I did this. For me to keep the shape of the blanket consistent... I took apart a tension rod and used the two sides to hold the loops in place along with a #25 crochet hook to pull the working yarn through. Made this a lot easier for me to manage the process. It took a little longer to complete but I am satisfied with the finished product.
Luv it!! A couple months ago, I went racing thru the clearance aisle at Walmart and got really lucky. There were 6 skeins marked down to $2.50 each. 😳 🤔 I had no idea what I was going to make, I only seen pretty red and cheap yarn. I'll admit it, I'm a yarn hoarder and grabbed all 6. You so inspired me to get my red chunky yarn out and make this throw. 😏 😁
I just came across your post, cousin is going through chemo, i thought a warm snuggly throw would be good for her. i used 5 balls of yarn to give it more length. i am going to make them for my kids as well. thank you! This was a great way to enter the world of knit/crochet for someone unexperienced in yarn !
Thank you for making this super detailed instruction video. I had 2 pounds of wool shag that I tried to crochet (fringe made it impossible to see stitches) then arm knit (too loose) into a rug. I'd almost given up on this shag when I found your video around 8:35 pm. By 9:15pm I got the first 3 rows done and now I'm finished roughly 2 hours later. This is perfect and it's all thanks to your how-to guide! Side note: because the yarn is so thick and an acrylic it's more likely to come out in the wash if you just weave in the ends; I'd suggest stitching the ends into place after weaving in about 2 inches. ❤
I have brain cancer. I love the way u make your blankets. I made about 10 to 15. U really inspire me. Please excus any mispillebwords. Some times my brain does not workbright. Thank you
I choose your video to try my first chunky blanket. There is a craft store in my area giving classes for $85 including the yarn. This was better. I wasn't brave enough to try the change in direction. It took me around 3 hours. I am thinking not too bad for the first time doing anything like this. Thank you for your instructions.
Guy here who actually started doing this 2 days ago by cutting up an IKEA blanket into a long strip. Your video is way more logical than some others so will start over again using your methos. Thanks
Love it!! Making for Christmas presents. I’ve learned a lot from you on wreaths as well!! Thanks for sharing your talent. I have Sickle Cell Disease and these crafts keep me busy.
Wishing you a wonderful summer, it's July 2022 now but I've just subbed, so this is new for me. ❤️ I have chronic health issues too, due to having had viral hemorrhagic fever when I was 18, and I love being able to take my mind off it with beautiful projects like this.
I have crocheted and knitted all my life but never have I used this size. yarn. She was awesome. Now I will crochet a baby blanket for my great granddaughter who is coming in June. Thank you so much!
THANK YOU! Thank god someone understands that people learn if you narrate what they are doing. I really appreciate you and I will be following all media’s and hyping you up!
Beautifully done!! I’ve made a dozen or so of these and wanted to see if there was a different/easier way… I LOVED your biz partner’s idea of changing the stitch up to make it lay flat. To do this, i just flipped the blanket over so my hand crochet movement was still the same. I just made a baby blanket watching your video for my friend’s baby shower today!!! 💙🙏🏼 Have a wonderful weekend, and thank you for sharing!
Sooooo beautiful and encouraging, that I made my first one today!! I made a light pink chenille blanket for my daughter. She's in her first year of college and this will be a great gift for her from home. I made a few mistakes and had to fix with extra yarn left over at the end but the blanket looks good for a first time!! Thanks!!! Ruth Willis
Great idea thanks.... My baby will be a high school sr next year and I wanted to do a gift a month box leading up to her graduation... This is going to be one of the treasures.
Amazing! Ive recently had 2 massive strokes and I'm so looking forward to trying this because being paralyzed on one side therapy helps that fine back slowly this will absolutely help with the boredom!!! Great therapy to gain my left side hand back more as well! Thank you so much for sharing this! God bless you sweet lady
I love how down to earth you are! You’re relatable and I don’t feel like I’m watching someone who is way too advanced for me to follow. I’m following your “change up pattern” technique right now and it’s coming out lovely! I made a giant blanket for my queen sized bed using the Bernat Blanket Big yarn which was WAY more expensive and it definitely could have come out better since some of my stitches came out much larger than others. I noticed the length wasn’t the same so I tried to compensate for it and ended up with much larger stitches in some parts and my toes definitely go through the blanket in those areas. My tip (as someone who is literally only doing this for the second time ever) is to each those stitch sizes. You’re right about not being able to measure each stitch if you’re making a big blanket but maybe use a different way to measure like using your hand. The buckling and curling at the ends is an issue but I’m hoping this time it’s better. Thanks for the video and hope you and the family are safe during these times!
Today I went and bought wool today to start crocheting. I bought 4 x huge chunky balls of wool, because I loved the colour and texture. On the paper wrapping, it states "for arm and broomstick knitting" -I was totally confused. Came home, googled and your video caught my eye. First one I watched, LOVED your technique. Completed the blanket in a matter of 3 hours. If it were not for your detailed video, I would not have done this. Can;t wait for my next challenge. Thank you for being an amazing instructor/teacher :-)
Great video! You are very thorough with your how-to instructions. Just got back into cross stitching, crocheting, knitting, etc. & this helped me immensely in figuring out how to make my own chonky blanket so thank you. 😊👍🏻👍🏻
I just spent $60 for a class to learn how to do this. Now, l can follow you because others do this differently. And this is how l was shown in class; yeah, l tended to miss one or more. I just love this.!😊
Thank u.. I actually was sooo inspired by your video. I went and bought my yarn. It was very easy to do. Unfortunately I made my loops to big and i missed some loops as well. But overall I love my very first project. Next time I will make smaller loops and closing it off was very frustrating but I think I pulled it off just fine for a beginner
I have watched several of these tutorials yours is the only one I have seen with the design change. I love the way you show every step. Thank you for the time you spent to make this video.
I was looking for a good tutorial for making these chunky blankets and found that I liked yours the best and learned best from you so thanks. I am gonna try this out. I love the blanket. Would make great christmas presents.
This will be my first attempt at anything like this. I am not a crafty person. My daughter is very crafty and makes so many beautiful things. I want to at least once make something special for her. Wish me luck, it will be her Christmas gift. Thank you for this instructional video.
Thanks so much! I recently made my first two throws but your instructions were so much clearer & definitely love the idea to change the stitch. Your throw was beautiful! Thanks again!🙏❤️
Nice! I like the colors that you chose and the pattern was awesome. Thank you for taking time to show the rest of us how to do it and spark our imaginations!
You are the best teacher! I kept messing up on the second row many times watching other RUclips videos. Then I found you and yes you made it easy. I finally got it right. Thank you!😊
This is exactly what zinged me right in my heart, thst I NEED to make one for my daughter. I've never done this before. I can't wait to try it. Thank you for the great video.💜
TY so much for putting this video up! A few days ago my grandson's girlfriend texted me asking if I could make her a blanket like this. I watched a few YTs and I must say that yours was hands-down the best! Your genuine sweetness shows through in your voice. Have a good one, sweetie. ♥
I made some of these using this same yarn last year for Christmas gifts and my grandchildren absolutely love theirs. This stuff washes up nicely, even after weekly washing they still look great. One I made with red and white the red did fad onto the white.
I absolutely Love, Love, Love ❤️ this blanket! I have been watching many tutorials on making a chunky blanket and yours is by far my favorite! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial with us! I can’t wait to start making my own. 🥰🥰
First of all, I wanted to say that I love ur honesty(and ur nails!) and how u we’re not afraid of admitting ur mistakes! I’ve makes 3 of these blankets and have given them away to homeless ppl to keep them warm so thank u!
I appreciate you and how you’ve been the first to help me understand and feel confident in this new craft 💕 I’m happy to have found you and your channel.
Great video. I learned how to do this as a child. But as a grown woman I have not even thought about it. This has brought back some wonderful and blessed thoughts of me and my great grandmother. I'm going to Walmart today so I can make a blanket.
I watched a lot of videos.Found you on my 4th rip out! You immediately showed me my mistake , and now I'm hooked! Guess what all the girls are getting for Chrismas?
@Jeaneete Warren. Thank you so much. I try to keep my videos as simple as I possibly can. I honestly want people to follow along with me or watch a bit then try it. If its difficult to make, I probably won't enjoy making myself lol.
Thank you. I also made one for my grandbaby (first time ever trying to crochet anything), I missed some loops and was upset but as you said next time hopefully I dont.
I was Soooo frustrated! Until I found your channel. Girrrl! THANK YOU. I have made a scarf and mini blanket today. And now, have my girls watching. And about too make it again together
Hi how many loops you do for scarf? Please thanks and hmm i was Try see if i want it wider or longer if i shud extend chain..i see u did mini blanket blamket..thanks if can help 💙 b safe
Beautiful blanket easy to make , I even tried to replicate the patterns ,mistakes were made but this was a real learning experience. This was very relaxing
You are truly a blessing sent by the gods, I've been trying for days to get it right but your video really helped my understanding it. Thank you so much 💞🥰
Okai so I bought a cake of yarn to make my son a blanket all the way back in December (lol). I've searched, watched, and tried to follow along and learn (I'm a beginner) and nothing. But then came along this very video with your wonderful self, I started at 1 (after he went for a nap) and got more then half way through when he woke up at 3:30, but anyways I just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you, I can finally finish this blanket and I absolute love you lol, you talk clear and explain everything great and it was so easy to follow with you, again thank you!
Sharon, you say you get chilled when the temperature is less than 72. You may need to have your thyroid checked. Low thyroid can sneak up on you and feeling chilly is one of the most common signs. Great video. Thank you from another Sharon!
You taught me how to crochet throws with chunky knit yarn. I was never left with a question after watching one of your videos, thanks to the great time and detail you put into your videos. You are the sweetest!!! Thanks so much!!
Your videos are by far the best and I love how REAL you are, talking about the mistakes in your scarf and you wear it anyway and still get compliments 🙏🥰 Your instructions are the easiest to follow, so thank you.
Thank you so much for not rushing through your work and showing the full process. I’m a visual learner so seeing repetitive knitting of the first technique before jumping ahead to the next technique really helps w/muscle memory. Other videos may draw you in with their flashy kitsch in order to look interesting, but when you’re here to learn, I much prefer to skip all the bells and whistles and just get down to business. I’ve had to rewind and slow the speed so many times on a different channel and I still felt that not enough time was spent on each technique for it to click. Just one video from you I feel much more confident in finishing my blanket! Oh...and thank you for posting the link to the yarn! I’m a beginner and I can’t tell you how hard it was for me to locate the proper size for the project I started from another channel. I spent $50 on the yarn that was suggested, but when I got home it was clearly not as thick as in the video. Linking to the proper yarn saves me a huge headache. I will be subscribing to your channel & look forward to browsing your other videos. Thanks again & God bless!
You do a fantastic job and are a great teacher. Yours was the first blanket I made. It was great. My only suggestion is if you could tell us the ending size in the width and length. Thank you so much for teaching us how to make this blanket. The music is nice and not obnoxious too. Thanks for all of the helpful tips too!!! I used the Wal-Mart yarn too and it's soooo soft but they sure don't have many colors. I've also learned to make the foundation chain row a little larger than the rest of the project so the project doesn't get wider or shorter and if I slip the first stitch on each row starting on the second row not counting the chain as a row, it helps to stop the curling. You did a great job! Keep up the good work. I'm just a beginner too! 👍
Thank you for the clear directions. I love the optional pattern you added. I made one, the first run, I made my loops TOO BIG and like you I didn't care for that at all. I took it all apart and started over and went smaller. I love it! Oh and I used the same yarn you did in a soft white color. The yarn is so very soft, it was so easy to work with. With I could post a picture! Thanks again!
Thanks so much for making this video! I looked and tried two videos and got a little confused. Your video explains it well, is easy to follow and the result is beautiful. I love the two patterns too. Again, thanks for sharing.
Thistooshallpass I know it can be frustrating lol, try turning down the volume all the way and slowing down the video to a speed that is more comfortable for you. Practice at that speed/pace for a bit till you are more confident. Hope that helps 🥰
I Absolutely luv this and it is such a brilliant idea for people who don't have the x or the "no-how" to crochet. I've been trying to teach myself how to crochet for almost a year! This is what I'm going to make for my 1st grand child. Thank u so much for sharing.
Blessed2Craft Designs I bought the Yarn Bee Eternal Bliss very similar to yours at Hobby Lobby. Going to start this wk. I know your chain was 24 a crossed but how many chains long going down?? What size approx. was your blanket ? Just trying to figure out what size this is suppose to be? Thank you for the great tutorial! 😎
Well my neighbor Grandson has autism he feel in love with this towel yarn I've never could crochet tried Time After Time After Time never forget it but found a hand crochet blanket that I made for him and he loves it and it was so easy to do after you got the hang of it fast easy and quick I would like to try to make a whole blanket. Different colors
One of the better instructional videos on these blankets!! I have watched several with some questions, that you answered automatically. Thank you so very much!

Thank you for the backwards stitch idea! It gives the blanket character and I love that! I can’t wait to try it myself.

How many skeins are you using per blanket?
@@kateelliott1041 Of course I’m not her, but I’ve been making some blankets too and I use 7-8 skeins depending on what pattern of colors I want to do!

Makes a great house warming gift. I just started hand crochet/knit and hope to make more blankets since it doesn't take as long as using the needle.
With the holidays quickly approaching, they will make awesome gifts! Thank you so much for watching
THANK YOU! Thank god someone understands that people learn if you narrate what they are doing. I really appreciate you and I will be following all media’s and hyping you up!

Nice! I like the colors that you chose and the pattern was awesome. Thank you for taking time to show the rest of us how to do it and spark our imaginations!
You are the best teacher! I kept messing up on the second row many times watching other RUclips videos. Then I found you and yes you made it easy.
I finally got it right. Thank you!😊
This is exactly what zinged me right in my heart, thst I NEED to make one for my daughter. I've never done this before. I can't wait to try it. Thank you for the great video.💜
@Pat Watkins thank you so much for watching! Have fun making one, I'm sure your daughter will love it :)
TY so much for putting this video up! A few days ago my grandson's girlfriend texted me asking if I could make her a blanket like this. I watched a few YTs and I must say that yours was hands-down the best! Your genuine sweetness shows through in your voice. Have a good one, sweetie. ♥
Thank you for this video!! I watched it tonight with my mom and made one- I love it!! ❤️❤️
I made some of these using this same yarn last year for Christmas gifts and my grandchildren absolutely love theirs. This stuff washes up nicely, even after weekly washing they still look great. One I made with red and white the red did fad onto the white.
I absolutely Love, Love, Love ❤️ this blanket! I have been watching many tutorials on making a chunky blanket and yours is by far my favorite! Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial with us! I can’t wait to start making my own. 🥰🥰
First of all, I wanted to say that I love ur honesty(and ur nails!) and how u we’re not afraid of admitting ur mistakes! I’ve makes 3 of these blankets and have given them away to homeless ppl to keep them warm so thank u!
I appreciate you and how you’ve been the first to help me understand and feel confident in this new craft 💕 I’m happy to have found you and your channel.
Great video. I learned how to do this as a child. But as a grown woman I have not even thought about it. This has brought back some wonderful and blessed thoughts of me and my great grandmother. I'm going to Walmart today so I can make a blanket.
I watched a lot of videos.Found you on my 4th rip out! You immediately showed me my mistake , and now I'm hooked! Guess what all the girls are getting for Chrismas?
Thank you for the easy-to-understand directions and demonstration! You are the best teacher ever.
I loved this tutorial 😍 Thank you so much. I'm going to definitely try this pattern🧶
Omg I love this women. She is fun. She keeps simple. I am dyspraxia....and even I can follow it. More please xx
@Jeaneete Warren. Thank you so much. I try to keep my videos as simple as I possibly can. I honestly want people to follow along with me or watch a bit then try it. If its difficult to make, I probably won't enjoy making myself lol.
Thank you. I also made one for my grandbaby (first time ever trying to crochet anything), I missed some loops and was upset but as you said next time hopefully I dont.
I was Soooo frustrated! Until I found your channel. Girrrl! THANK YOU. I have made a scarf and mini blanket today. And now, have my girls watching. And about too make it again together
Hi how many loops you do for scarf? Please thanks and hmm i was Try see if i want it wider or longer if i shud extend chain..i see u did mini blanket blamket..thanks if can help 💙 b safe
I did 24 across
Thanks u still did 24 for scarf and mini blanket 👍 thanks
I picked up some yarn today, I'm gonna give this a try. Thank you for sharing and going into detail.
Beautiful blanket easy to make , I even tried to replicate the patterns ,mistakes were made but this was a real learning experience. This was very relaxing
Great video, I need to try and make one. Absolutely love your energy and up beat enthusiasm. Throw looks AMAZING!!!
You are truly a blessing sent by the gods, I've been trying for days to get it right but your video really helped my understanding it. Thank you so much 💞🥰
This is so pretty! You did a great job explaining it too!
Okai so I bought a cake of yarn to make my son a blanket all the way back in December (lol). I've searched, watched, and tried to follow along and learn (I'm a beginner) and nothing. But then came along this very video with your wonderful self, I started at 1 (after he went for a nap) and got more then half way through when he woke up at 3:30, but anyways I just wanted to say thank you thank you thank you, I can finally finish this blanket and I absolute love you lol, you talk clear and explain everything great and it was so easy to follow with you, again thank you!
Sharon, you say you get chilled when the temperature is less than 72. You may need to have your thyroid checked. Low thyroid can sneak up on you and feeling chilly is one of the most common signs. Great video. Thank you from another Sharon!
Thank you for sharing this. I get my thyroid checked and everything comes back normal but o stay cold and can drop weight fast
Low iron low sugar too. I have to take synthroid. And I have high blood pressure. I know when I'm cold it's iron or usually it's my sugar
You taught me how to crochet throws with chunky knit yarn. I was never left with a question after watching one of your videos, thanks to the great time and detail you put into your videos. You are the sweetest!!! Thanks so much!!
Now I'm going to go buy yarn and make my own blanket. Thank you!
Finally I found someone that has great instruction on how to do these blankets thank you so much
You are an excellent teacher, thank you for the instructions!
I appreciate that you explained everything slower than the other videos I watch. Much Love to you and many blessings as well. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤
I am so inspired! Love your instructions and honesty.
@boydsignco thank you :)
Your videos are by far the best and I love how REAL you are, talking about the mistakes in your scarf and you wear it anyway and still get compliments 🙏🥰
Your instructions are the easiest to follow, so thank you.
I'm new to this technique and truly enjoyed watching your video. Thank you so much!
@Rita West thank you so much for watching 😊
I am going to try my first blank and I’m nervous but I can’t wait to let everyone know how I did. Thanks for educating us on how to.
Do u know what the width and length ended up being?
Thank you so much for not rushing through your work and showing the full process. I’m a visual learner so seeing repetitive knitting of the first technique before jumping ahead to the next technique really helps w/muscle memory. Other videos may draw you in with their flashy kitsch in order to look interesting, but when you’re here to learn, I much prefer to skip all the bells and whistles and just get down to business. I’ve had to rewind and slow the speed so many times on a different channel and I still felt that not enough time was spent on each technique for it to click. Just one video from you I feel much more confident in finishing my blanket! Oh...and thank you for posting the link to the yarn! I’m a beginner and I can’t tell you how hard it was for me to locate the proper size for the project I started from another channel. I spent $50 on the yarn that was suggested, but when I got home it was clearly not as thick as in the video. Linking to the proper yarn saves me a huge headache. I will be subscribing to your channel & look forward to browsing your other videos. Thanks again & God bless!
THIS IS SO HELPFUL! Can you do a tutorial on how to make it circular, please? (like a caplet, infinity scarf, etc?) Thank you!!!
I'm going to ask my sister , who does crocheting creations. That will be a pretty piece
I'm watching this now. Bought this yarn at Walmart and it is indeed very soft, easy to work with, and warm.
Thank you for your video.
I love making these blankets thanks.
Fantastic video. Saw it this morning and by tonight I am almost done with a large throw in Ivory with Platinum silver stripe!
So enjoyed this video! I’ve picked up a few more skeins to make this one too!
You do a fantastic job and are a great teacher. Yours was the first blanket I made. It was great. My only suggestion is if you could tell us the ending size in the width and length. Thank you so much for teaching us how to make this blanket. The music is nice and not obnoxious too. Thanks for all of the helpful tips too!!! I used the Wal-Mart yarn too and it's soooo soft but they sure don't have many colors. I've also learned to make the foundation chain row a little larger than the rest of the project so the project doesn't get wider or shorter and if I slip the first stitch on each row starting on the second row not counting the chain as a row, it helps to stop the curling. You did a great job! Keep up the good work. I'm just a beginner too! 👍
Thanks for the video! I've been wanting to learn how to hand knit with this type of yarn ( that I also got at Walmart), lol.
@Fellas AndFriends
You're very welcome and thank you for watching! I'd love for you to share yours on the Pinterest or FB page.
I did it! It’s on my bed now keeping me cozy and warm!! The next one I make will be for mom!!
Beautiful! You did a great job!
Thank you for the clear directions. I love the optional pattern you added. I made one, the first run, I made my loops TOO BIG and like you I didn't care for that at all. I took it all apart and started over and went smaller. I love it! Oh and I used the same yarn you did in a soft white color. The yarn is so very soft, it was so easy to work with. With I could post a picture! Thanks again!
Wished u had spread it out on a bed to give an idea of how big it was. Again thx for vid
Thanks so much for making this video! I looked and tried two videos and got a little confused. Your video explains it well, is easy to follow and the result is beautiful. I love the two patterns too. Again, thanks for sharing.
This is so pretty, I'm making one right now! Thanks
@Cyndi Garcia
Awesome! Please feel free to share pictures of your blanket on the Pinterest or FB page
Best video I have watched on hand knitting a throw. Thank you for taking the time to answer all the questions one may have!
When you go over like you did it’s actually what is called “pearl “ so when you see like knit 2 pearl 1 those rows of over are pearl ☺️☺️☺️
Julie Reis what !!? LOL I’m trying to learn but I think I’m doing it wrongs
Thistooshallpass I know it can be frustrating lol, try turning down the volume all the way and slowing down the video to a speed that is more comfortable for you. Practice at that speed/pace for a bit till you are more confident.
Hope that helps 🥰
Julie Reis trust me I did next time I’m just gonna learn from my mistakes let this me a learning curve blanket ..
Thistooshallpass LoL well we all have or have given away a “few” of those, so that’s cool 👍
Knit and purl is the expression!
I Absolutely luv this and it is such a brilliant idea for people who don't have the x or the "no-how" to crochet. I've been trying to teach myself how to crochet for almost a year! This is what I'm going to make for my 1st grand child. Thank u so much for sharing.
It's so pretty. How many skeins of yarn did you end up using?
@Angel Nance Thank you. I used a total of 6
Blessed2Craft Designs I bought the Yarn Bee Eternal Bliss very similar to yours at Hobby Lobby. Going to start this wk. I know your chain was 24 a crossed but how many chains long going down?? What size approx. was your blanket ? Just trying to figure out what size this is suppose to be? Thank you for the great tutorial! 😎
Well my neighbor Grandson has autism he feel in love with this towel yarn I've never could crochet tried Time After Time After Time never forget it but found a hand crochet blanket that I made for him and he loves it and it was so easy to do after you got the hang of it fast easy and quick I would like to try to make a whole blanket. Different colors
I wish you would of spread your blanket our & moved your camera way back so we could of seen the whole thing!
She did at the very end
@@jacquelinebarnard578 not really, but shes a great instructor!
I was thinking the same thing!
One of the better instructional videos on these blankets!! I have watched several with some questions, that you answered automatically. Thank you so very much!
Thank you so much :)
