I don't think it matters which ones you do it between but my design was between the first and second. Putting it between the second and third will look slightly different but it's really up to you if you like it that way better or if it works better for you.
There are links to two videos in the description that are more in depth tutorials on the pattern. They both do a good job of explaining how to start the pattern and do the first few rows so I really didn't want to make a third video when there were already two very good ones available. I hope that helps.
Shanna, this is the pattern you showed me today. It's also called Grandma Spiked my Ripple Blanket Pattern and if you do a search under that name you should find the pattern and a u-tube demo.
I love this stitch ! I've seen couple versions , one using 3 double crochets and one using 2 double crochets , have you done both ? And which do you prefer as far as how the pattern looks?
I've only used the three double crochets because of the middle being the spike stitch. With two double crochets, it's more of a "V" stitch instead which may be more like the Lacy Chevron pattern from Leisure Arts (I'm assuming since I've never seen the pattern, just photos). It all depends on the look you want.
@@catbirdcreates thank you for replying, the reason i was asking is because I don't really see a difference in the pattern when looking at it when it's done with 3 double or 2 double crochets
@@dawnamendola8690 It may be a very subtle difference basically due to the chevron slants which makes it less obvious. The three dc spike stitch would have a more "jagged" look to it due to the first and third st being higher than the spike st, while two dcs would both be in the same space providing a more lacy look. Check out the Lacy Chevron pattern on Ravelry by Mary F. Strecker and I think you'll see the difference better.
Ommmgg sorry to be such a pain , I'm going to start this blanket and have decided to go with the 3 double crochet, my question is , from third row on , every row has spike stitches ? If I am reading the pattern right that's what it says ? But I've watched creative grandma tutorial and Feride tutorial and creative grandma tutorial shes doing one row spiked one row regular granny stitch and in Feride comment section someone asked the very same question and she responded with one row spike one row regular granny alternating. Can you clarify please .
No problem. The first two rows are not spike sts, rows 3 and 4 are spike sts (you change colors for each row), then rows 5+ repeat rows 3 and 4. Basically, only the first two rows are not spike st rows. However, if you prefer how the alternating rows look, then it's perfectly fine to do them every other row.
Any color combos would work and scrap yarn would be a great way to use up your scraps and get some really awesome color combos. For color palettes, I like to look at sites like colorpalletes.net to get ideas for colors.
There are several of these on Ravelry with different colorways used. I started one in light, medium, and dark pink and lime green but it would look beautiful in shades of brown or blue or a mixture of different colors.
I watch a video that showed the spike ,between 2nd and 3rd.
I am making my first spiked granny blanket.

I’d love to see a complete tutorial. Your blanket is the first tutorial I’ve seen that actually looks correct.
I added a link in the description to a video tutorial done by Feride Erbaşar.
It would be helpful if you started from the beginning. Felt incomplete

Thank you! Diagrams, videos.... driving myself crazy and you made it so simple!
Thank you! I added a second link to a full video that you might be interested in for even more help.
If you have trouble because the crocheting goes so fast, try slowing the speed of the video down to .25 it helps.
New to your channel. Creative Grandma told me about your channel...😊
Welcome!!
This gives a nice finishing touch to the afghan. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome!

I found your Site, on Pininterest. Thank you so much for sharing this, as I have been looking everywhere. Great videeo...

If anyone decides to crochet this afghan what color ways are you using? I think I’m going to use scrap yarn.

A beautful blanket
how about starting from... very beginning ...??????
Check out the links in the description to two videos where they start from the beginning. You may need to click on "Show More" to see them.
@@catbirdcreates Thank you!!! :-) :-) :-)
@@onababona6101 You're welcome!
Thank you This is very helpful
Do you know where a tutorial of the entire pattern can be found?
The link to the pattern is in the description.
Found one - ruclips.net/video/15aocITrBHo/видео.html
2 double crochet or 3 double crochet
Three with the middle one going down into a spike.
So strange to watch someone crochet a treble and call it a double. I guess this is what they call 'American crochet' ?
Yes ma'am. It is.
