@@ShoobieGirl wow that sounds like a marathon effort, amazing!! I’m so happy you found the video helpful, thanks so much ❤️

I think i just add the thumb insert at the end of the row instead of the beginning? (haha! you probably covered this in your tutorial and I just missed it, but this is what I'm thinking as I'm imagining it!)

@@princessrejoicing9097 haha yes I definitely show you how to do that in the video 😊 but you did figure it out well for yourself! The only difference between the left and right hands is in round 7. If your want to double check what you’ve done against the pattern, instead of rewatching the whole video to find the spot I talk about it (and hey, I love my video, but that sounds a bit much…) if you click of the bit under the video title that says ‘… more’ you’ll open up the description box. If you scroll down you’ll see I have created chapter links to different parts of the pattern and the very bottom one is “round 7 for the right hand” and that’s the bit you need. Good luck with the right hand! 😃 Wheelie

@@princessrejoicing9097 Oh gosh, I just realised I answered you twice 😆 I even remember thinking ‘that’s such a cute name’ BOTH TIMES I ANSWERED 🤣

@ thank you!🩷

@@MMCM1010 Thank you so much! ❤️ Wheelie

Hi there, with the yarn I used it was 30 grams (85m/93yards). The exact amount you need will depend on how big your gloves end up being and your tensions etc, but if you have a 50 or 100g ball of yarn you’ll definitely have enough to make a pair. Cheers, Wheelie

@@wheeliemadeitcrochetthank you! so nice of you to take the time to answer! I really enjoyed making this one glove, which for me turned out to be for my left hand because of where the thumb insert is. So now I have one more question. Does the pattern change in order to make a glove for the right hand? Thank you!☺️

@@princessrejoicing9097 Hello again, you’re so welcome 😊 I’m really glad the left hand glove has turned out well! The pattern for the left and right hands is the same except for round 7 - if you rewatch the video to make the other hand, when you get to that point I tell you to jump to the end of the video ( the time stamp is 41:08 ). You might find it helpful to use the chapter links I’ve made - when the video isn’t in full screen mode, under the title of the video, on the same line where it shows how many views the video has, it says *‘…more’* Click on that to open the description box, and you’ll see the chapters. I made a chapter for each round in the pattern, so you can scroll along those to find where you’re up to in the pattern, instead of trying to manually skip through the video. So you can go right to the end of the video to do round 7 for the right hand and then back to round 8. Hope that’s helpful ❤️ Wheelie

Hi Wanda, it’s really lovely to hear you’ve made this blanket a few times, thank you so much, you’ve no idea how much that has made my day ❤ I didn’t end up publishing a written version of the border pattern (partly because I’ve had some health problems get in the way, but also because I discovered there was a LOT more math involved than I’d expected, and I found it was easier to explain that side of it in a video). Here’s a link to the video tutorial, I hope the border turns out beautifully for you ( th-cam.com/video/4S4SlmbT4A8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_o0dt29gwh1jHCDF ). Cheers, Wheelie

@@pamhenderson78 thanks so much! ❤️

@@RhondaWakefield-s4c thanks so much, I’m glad you like it 😊 unfortunately I’m not able to provide a written pattern, my health declined and I’ve had to take a break from pattern filming/writing. There is a video for the border pattern, so hopefully you’ll be able to follow that if you do decide to make it. Otherwise, if I do get to a point where I can return to writing designs, I’ll pop another reply on this comment to let you know the written pattern is up for free on ravelry. All the best, Wheelie

@@rhondamain2396 that is unexpected, I’m really sorry to hear it’s not working out well. Also sorry this reply has taken a few days, I didn’t get a notification for some reason. I do have a couple of thoughts. Is it the section that’s created by chaining that is looking wrong? Or the ‘fan’ of the final round? If it’s the chain, are you chains very tight (look at the individual chains) or is it more that the length of crochet created by the chains isn’t the right length/not long enough? If each individual chain looks tight and small, yes, go up half a hook size and see. If it’s that the length created by the chains isn’t long enough, add an extra chain to each. Let me know how you go, I’ll keep an eye on this comment in case the notifications fail again - wishing you good luck! Wheelie

@@wheeliemadeitcrochet Hello!! Thanks for your reply! I went ahead and increased the chains to 5 on the sides and 7 on the corners and that did the trick!! I was concerned to change the hook size since the whole blanket had been done with a 4.5mm hook. I do crochet rather tight as I am used to working since size 10 cotton thread for filet projects. It is turning out beautifully and I am getting ready to do the final round. Thanks again!

@@rhondamain2396 I’m so pleased that’s helped 😅 Good luck with the final rounds ❤️

@@jessicaswaim8712 Hi there, no, I’m sorry, I haven’t written up this pattern properly. When I made a few sheep last month I even had to rewatch this video because my own notes were so confusing 😜. All the best, Wheelie

@@wheeliemadeitcrochet Thanks for answering! I'll make do with your wonderful video. I plan to make some sheep for Christmas ornaments and/or for friends to add to Nativity sets. Thank you for the pattern and excellent video!

@@jessicaswaim8712 that sounds like such a great idea, love the thought of them in a nativity scene! I was thinking of making some with little Christmas scarves this year 🥰 I hope your sheep turn out beautifully ❤️

@@mememe733 isn’t it both very convenient… and worrying when that happens? 😆 I’m so glad you stumbled on my video anyway 😊 Hope your beanie turns out looking gorgeous! Wheelie

@@knitwithginny So nice to meet you! Waving from Perth 👋 It is rare that I get a comment from an Aussie! 😃 That jumper is lovely, you mean the knitted one right? I’ve seen some beautiful versions of it shared on instagram 😃 I’m actually learning to knit at the moment and was eyeing off that kit, but realistically I’m a long way off being able to make it… my knitted scarf looks… rustic (…terrible 😆). It’s funny going from being a pro with crochet to trying out knitting, it feels like I should know what I’m doing, but I am definitely starting from scratch. 🧶🤗 Wheelie

@wheeliemadeitcrochet You Go girl you can do it! 😊

Maybe by putting 12 stitches (3 x 4 stitches) and otherwise follow the tutorial? Just make sure that you stop increasing before it get too large 😊 Did you try? And if so, how did it go?

Oh that sounds beautiful, thank you so much for sharing that with me, it must look gorgeous in the cotton, the dragonflies would stand out so nicely ❤ I’m sorry it took me a while to respond, it was really lovely to come back to TH-cam and find your comment. All the best, Wheelie

Yay! So glad you found me ❤

Thank you so much ❤️

I’m learning how to do knitting on machine and I would love to learn how to crochet patches

Hi 👋 I can’t give you an absolute yes or no, but it *may* work - try a 4mm hook and your yarn. Once you’ve got the starting chain and slip stitched to make a circle, test to see how it fits on your head (I’ve got some tips in the video). Also it might be worth doing a small swatch of half double crochet with the yarn and hook to see if the fabric you create will be too stiff to be comfortable. Sometimes even if you get the right size with the smaller hook, it’s not worth doing because the beanie ends up being less wearable. Saying that, I’ve made this pattern quite frequently with a 3.5mm hook and no.3 yarn to make kids’ beanies, so using a 4mm hook and 10 ply/worsted weight might be absolutely fine depending on the yarn. Let me know how you go? Hope it works well for you! Wheelie

@@wheeliemadeitcrochet Thanks so much😃

Hi 😊 You can’t wash these - the cable would get wrecked. But I haven’t noticed that any of mine look dirty, maybe pick a colour that won’t show it too much if you’re worried? Maybe go for darker colours rather than pastels? Sorry I couldn’t help more 👩🏻‍🦼Wheelie

Thank you so much! It’s always so nice to meet another Aussie crocheter 😃😃 hope your slouchy turns out well 👩🏻‍🦼 Wheelie

I’m so glad it turned out well for you, I hope you feel it was worth all the effort 🤞 I’ve just finished putting this border on a blanket too and weaving in the final end was satisfying - after crocheting all the large fans on the final round I’m ready for a different stitch 😆👩🏻‍🦼

Sure do 😊 It’s a cotton/acrylic blend from Spotlight called “Anette Eriksson Jeans Crazy Yarn”. I managed to get it super discounted in one of their sales ages ago but I just checked and they still stock it 😃👩🏻‍🦼

@@wheeliemadeitcrochet Thank you!

Hi again 👋 I just answered you on a different video before I saw this - now I’m not sure if you were you asking about the blue-red-white yarn from my granny square blanket… Or the yarn used in the floral square? I hope it was the blanket because I just gave you all the details 🤣🤣 if it is the floral square you are asking about, I used 4 Seasons, Marvel 8 ply, which is a Spotlight yarn. All the best! 👩🏻‍🦼

@@wheeliemadeitcrochet omg I thought I deleted this comment, I was asking about the granny square blanket yarn. Tysm!

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Thank you so much, that’s so lovely to hear ☺️ I’m really happy I was able to help you learn this technique, it’s such a useful one! Hope I’ll see you around in the comments again 😁👩🏻‍🦼 Wheelie

Thank you so much! ☺️☺️

That will be so cute! 🐘🥰

I am also making a skirt for an elephant ❤ I made a misfit elephant from the Rudolph movie. With red polka dots.

@@razzledazzle5933 aww that's so cute

❤️ I’m really happy your gloves worked out well! Thanks so much for the lovely message, you made my day ❤️

Thank you, I’m so glad you like my video ❤️❤️ have you already started making your throw blanket? I’ve found there isn’t really a ‘standard’ size (and what’s called standard seems to vary a lot by country). For my blankets I tend to do it by eye, chain the starting chain and see if it looks right - I know that’s not terribly technical! If I were to give you actual measurements I’d have just googled them, I honestly just make most of my blankets either to fit a specific bed or based on whether they’ll cover me when I’m curled on the couch 😉 I hope that’s some help, sorry I’ve been so long replying, I’ve had a couple of weeks of ill health and haven’t been around TH-cam as often. It’s nice to have ‘met’ you ❤️👩🏻‍🦼 Wheelie

It does seem I’m alone in calling it a triptych!! 😆

It’s an Australian 8ply (DK weight), if you’re in Australia it’s Spotlight’s 4 Seasons Marvel, the blanket is in Duck Egg and the border in Natural, I used the recommended hook size - 4mm. Hope that helps! 👩🏻‍🦼

Oh, meant to say, it looks great in yarn that’s thinner than what I demonstrated with here but people have shown me how it’s worked out in worsted weight and that looked good too!

I’m so glad you like it! (Also, you made my day by appreciating my mathematical struggles 🤣). ❤️👩🏻‍🦼

You’re so welcome - I’m really happy it worked out well for you! ❤️👩🏻‍🦼
