This is the BEST tutorial on TH-cam for these chunky hand crochet blanket. And believe me when I tell you, I’ve watched about 35 of them. Yours is the easiest explained, cleanest and most professional looking blanket out there! Can’t wait to get started on mine!! Thank you!!
Oh thank you so so much for those very kind words! Means so much to me that so many people are benefiting from my tutorial! ❤️
I've watched your video about 10 times. Thanks for sharing this craft. I couldn't find #7chunky yarn but I did find #6 chunky yarn can I use that instead?
@@bethanyj.5974 yep, you sure can
Agreed!!
I agree 100% it is the best tutorial for these blankets on youtube to date. Easiest to comprehend and follow along. You are great at teaching & demonstrating 💞💕
This is by far THE BEST DIY how to for this Blanket. I tried to do this blanket twice- ripped it out again and now following this clear and easy instruction which adds the little details you actually need to make it work. Thank you for this.
Oh thank you for such kind feedback on my tutorial. Hope is helps you successfully create a blanket. Third times a charm right?! ❤️
I agree with the prior comments about this being the best tutorial for these chunky hand crochet blanket. I too watched several; however, this one is truly the best! Thank you!!
Aww thank you. I really appreciate your kind words and feedback. ❤️
This was the best tutorial I have ever seen for this. I love that she doesn’t stop the video she speeds it up.
Bethany, I have watched so many videos on how to finger knit and your video here is so much better and you show an easier way to do this. Thank you!
Aww thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m so glad my video has helped you conquer this fun craft. ❤️
The best part of this tutorial is that you’re camera is above you! So we can watch exactly what you’re doing. Thank you!!!
I've seen others connect different color yarn or extra yarn with a lighter... I absolutely love the idea of the thread method better 😂 I'll be making my second blanket soon!❤
This really is a great video showing a clean and neat way to do the chain at the beginning and to add the rows as you hand crochet each row! I also really love the way you have joined the ends with thread. Just tying a knot in a yarn this thick makes it very easy for the knot to slip. I just repaired one for my daughter that someone else had made and it was in olaces where it had only been single knotted! Thanks a bunch for sharing! I already knew how to hand crochet the afghan but your tips were very helpful!
By far the best teacher. I tried many videos and yours was very clearly explained. Thank you so much. I’m half way on my first blanket 😊
this was an awesome video for my beginner self! i got so into it and ran out of yarn lol so cant wait to finish this! shout out to hobby lobby for supplying the yarn, i work there ;) after i finish my first blanket everyone will be getting blankets for christmas lol
My first blanket , watched other videos but they didn't explain it like you did. I work at Hobby Lobby and I have told customers that they need to watch yours for the best instruments.
Oh my goodness thank you! I love me some Hobby Lobby! It’s where I get my yarn! ❤️
Making this for my very 1st grand baby. I started one the traditional way and realized it would take too long to make. I can make him 3 different ones with this method. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Appreciate you
Congrats on your first grandchild. How exciting!!
Thank you!! Your instructions were clear and amazing!!
What a great tutorial! I have spent my Sunday making this, and was a very easy tutorial!! appreciate you!
I bought yarn today can’t wait to get started. Doing Christmas presents
Omg thank u.. i am a beginner and never tried crochet before. I am excited to buy my yarn tomorrow❤
You did a great job on this video. I took a class to make one of these but it wasn't big enough. So I bought more yarn, took apart the first one and used your video to make a new one. It is yellow, dark green, light blue and orange.
Thank you for showing the best method I've seen for joining these bulky yarns!!!
Awesome!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for the kind feedback. Glad it has helped!
Your tutorial was perfect. You were so easy to follow Thank you so much!
This was the best tutorial! Getting ready to make fun for my grandson
This is an amazing process. It looks much like crocheting, but my guess is that it would be much faster since each link is much bigger. Thank you for this amazing video!
Bethany im so happy to seen ur finger blanket turtorial. I been seeing so-many. And i believe urs is the most easieat until i get it done. Love the colors your picked. I have the pink an cream color im starting with. For my soon to-be grand-daughter due in few months.
Thank you Laura and congrats on the new grand baby.
my dog and cat will take this for sure! your doggy loves it too ♡
Haha yes Biscuit is obsessed with this blanket!!
I Agree!!! This IS the Best tutorial! I am so glad I found your tutorial! I really feel confident that I can do it. Awesome job! 👏 Beautiful Blankets. After I complete my first one. I will definitely send you pics!
Thank you so much for the kind feedback. Can’t wait to see your finished blanket!! ❤️
First time making these and learned from you! Absolutely thorough!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you Bethany for this video. I just made my mother a lap throw for her birthday tomorrow. It only took me about 3 hours. I was surprised at how fast it grew. I used 5 skeins of yarn and just enough of the 6th skein to finish off the top. I can’t wait to make myself a larger one. Thanks for sharing.
That is wonderful and Happy Birthday to your mom. I know she will love it!
Excellent instructions. I might try this!
I made my first tonight...using Blanket Big! I chose a "ladybug" theme Red blanket big and angora furry round dots.. ! Super cool!
This my first time doing this without quitting and because you explain it and make it easy to understand
Aww yay! So proud of you and glad my video helped you succeed!
Bethany thank you so much for sharing this with the world. I’m making one for my daughters teacher it will be a Christmas gift hope she likes it.
Oh what a wonderful gift! I’m sure she will love it!!
This is the BEST tutorial I have seen!! Thank you so much for this!! 😊
Aww thank you for watching and the kind words. Happy crafting!
24:01 Hi! Just wanted to say your instruction was great! I just finished my very first chunky blanket and am so happy with the results. Going to make some for Christmas gifts.
The best video and so easy to follow!
This is so easy Ty soooo much it’s the first thing I did and it’s very easy i love it !!!
Thank you for your wonderful work :
Omg you're a God send! I've been trying to make a blanket for days and was completely stuck on the 2nd row 😅🙃 but your video saved me!
Oh that makes me so so happy!! If you share a picture of your finished blanket please tag me so I can see it. @craftwithbethany on Facebook & Instagram & Tiktok. ❤️
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I just finished my first one. Took roughly 5 hours. I had 15 skeins and ended up being 70x80 size...bit bigger than I anticipated but still love it.
How many balls do you think it would need for a 50x60?
@@emmaheckel1674 hi Emma. I think it may vary with everyone depending on their tension but 9 skeins of the chunky yarn made about a 50x60 size for me.
Oh and that’s 28 yd size skeins.
How do you know how many loops you need for a 50x60 and 60x70? ☹️....and how many skeins for them?
@@jessimae5286 ya know I’m not sure the exact loops for that size (tensions are all different) but I would just use a measuring tape for your first row and stop when you get to that size. My previous blanket used 9 skeins and made a 50 x 60 size.
Easy to follow. Great job. My friends and I are gonna try this. Thanks
Thank you for the feedback! Have fun making a blanket with your friends. How fun!
Hi I love the way you explain the big knitted blanket it is so easy to follow thankyou for sharing have à nice day god bless you 😊🙏
Thank you Thank you Thank you… I have been watching videos for an hour and was so confused. But then your video was just so easy to follow and understand. I was about to give up. Definitely going to subscribe and share.
Aww yay! Don’t give up! I’m always here to help. You’ve got this!
Great Directions. Thank you , Thank you. I am going to try this today.
This help me so much. Thank you!!!!!
Muito lindo o seu trabalho. Estou no Texas e minha sogra me levou pra comprar os materiais ontem pra eu fazer o meu primeiro cobertor…Gratidão por compartilhar tanta sabedoria. ❤
Love that beautiful
I'm a bit late to this chunky blanket craze, but I recently took a class that taught you how to make one. Honestly, I wish I'd found your tutorial first. The very best part is how you finished the blanket. I absolutely LOVE how that turned out. They used a different technique that wasn't nearly as flattering. I am SO tempted to take my blanket apart and make it again. I'm giving it to my boyfriend for Valentine's Day and I want it to be perfect. I'm going to make my boss one for her birthday in March and you'll be on in the background. You have a new subscriber. Thanks :)
Aww April thank you for the kind words and positive feedback. I’m glad you’ve found my video helpful and I hope you make many more beautiful blankets. They do make amazing gifts!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you ❤
Thank you! Great tutorial!!!!
You’re welcome ☺️
Hi im new to this i came across your video i made my first blanket lol but the ending didnt look right i see your video is just what i needed Thank You
I'm interested in making a blanket I found this idea by some one who is in the Great Amish movie he's making some blankets it really sparked my interest♥️♥️
Beside the awesome craft advise YOUR HAIR is marvelous!!
Estou vendo esse vídeo aqui do Brasil! Vejo essa mantas em vídeo de casas chique e fiquei apaixonada 😢eu também quero um desse ...
Thank you!!!!
Great video!
Thank you
great video!!! thankyou:)
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nothing hard about making that❤❤❤
Love it
Aww thank you!! ❤️
Thank you so much for your patience. Because I too have watched many videos and they were kinda confusing your video answers questions I have before or as you go along. Also want to know where you got your mat from my favorite color. The mats I have purchased have always been blue or white.
Thank you so much also a neighbor gave me 2 bags of this yarn where they had started a blanket before your video I didn't know how to make this so I took it a loose. As I was doing that I found your video it took me 2 days to take this apart.
Now watching your video I will make it the way you have except I have
Grey, burgundy, and a light pink.
Good luck to me deciding the color scheme.
I just love your videos.
Kim the crafty Nana.
Hey Kim! So glad you found this video helpful and I appreciate your feedback. My giant cutting mat is 60"x30" and purchased through Amazon. If you go to the description of this video there will be a link to my amazon storefront where I save all my favorite sewing, crafting and organizing must haves.
I'm making my first one currently. It's for my granddaughters birthday.
This is great, thank you so much. New sub here.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!❤ 23:30 .
U can also burn the ends together to infuse the yarn together. Just be careful when doing so
Hey I am just wanting to make small blanket I am wonder what my pattern should be if it to rap around someone for Christmas gift and stuff like that
This is fun. I’ve never seen it done before . As a knitter I would like to give you a tip. When you add a new color at the end of the row, just make a loop with the new color and keep going. When you come back and loop through the second color on the next row, then go down and tie the two colors together.
I started watching this while looking for a video for another blanket project. Once I finished that I came back because it looked so interesting and I immediately bought the skeins for it! I just started and wanted to ask if you find it easier to complete at a table or could it also be done in a more comfortable location? I’m sure since I’m a beginner it will probably be easier to do at a table but I just wanted to ask! Thank you for the tutorial! I’m excited to see the blanket I end up making!❤❤
I find it easier on a flat surface like a table or even a bed. It helps you maintain the shape of the blanket. And I’m thrilled you find my tutorial inspiring and helpful!
Wished I lived in the States. Up here on Canada; the yarn is $14.99 for one ball. Everything's chesper in the USA!😮
I seen where people burn the ends to fuse them when adding a new skein.
😊 13:17 I’m making it nowwwwwwwwwwwwwww such grand technical work
How many skeins did you use for this blanket? Im interested in a 60 x 75. How do you calculate how many skeins needed?
Love your video a lot, but having trouble finding the section where you said the measurements would be in the description below the video. I don't see a description with measurements of the blanket anywhere. Thanks for your help!
I made mine the width of my table with is 60 inches and I did even amount of rows for each alternating color. You can make yours however big or small you like. The technique is still the same.
for an average sized winter blanket how much yarn would be needed
I’m going to order some yarn and try this. Your video is so easy to understand. I’m doing the sage and ivory first for my living room. If I can successfully make it I’m going to try one for a topper for my bed. By the way about how many loops is 60”? I don’t have a sewing table like yours.
I have no idea how many loops it is and it will vary based on how loose or tight you make them. Just measure as you go.
@@CraftwithBethany THANK YOU!
Hi! Does your blanket curl at any of the ends? Thank you! Love the easy tutorial!
Mine doesn’t so make sure you aren’t pulling the loops along the edges and corners tighter than the loops on the rows. That will definitely cause in to curl in. I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you for this 👍🏻. I’ve had similar yarn for months and have tried to crochet, without success, four times!🙈
Thought you might be interested to know that the yarn cost £10 per skein in the UK, so I’m only using 6 skeins to start 😀
Wow that is more expensive. I will say if I make another one I will probably make it half the size. The yarn stretches over time and it is so big and chunky. It’s great but can be a lot of blanket sometimes. Haha
I just made one. My loops folded towards me and didnt stay up (or flat) like yours. Does that mean my loops were too tight?
I may have missed it but did you end up with a final size for the 9-10 balls of yarn? Wanting to make one for my wife for Christmas. I figured if I can tie fishing knots all day I can pull this off haha.
You can totally pull this off and she would love it! I don’t have a finished measurement bc it is dependent on loop size and how wide you start your blanket. For a lap size do 6 skeins about 32” wide.
Which brand of yarn to you use?
Excellent instructions! Can’t wait to make one… what width did you end up with? You said you didn’t want to go 60” again, so just wondering… Thank you for your wonderful instructions!
I don’t know what the final measurement ended up being but keep in mind it does and will stretch out some. If I make another one it will be a lap size. This one I made in the video covers my queen size bed. Haha
Hello! Is the color in the video accurate to real life? I was just wondering because the name on link is Spa Blue, but it looks green to me, which I honestly prefer.
Hello love the video. What is the weight of the wool ball. Please.xx
I’m not sure of the weight but I have the product I used listed in the description.
How many cast on's did you do
What is the best size yarn to use for your first blanket, small, medium, or large
The yarn I used is linked in the description.
To tie on another color; I would melt the ends together with a lighter.
Can anyone break down for a baby, full, queen, king, and cal king? how many rolls I would for each?
Honestly it varies so much by how big or small your loops are as to how much yarn you need. There’s not a specific formula that can be consistent for everyone.
Does it matter what type of thread to combine the colors? e.g. elastic thread, embroidery floss, sewing thread, etc.
It doesn’t but I used regular sewing thread bc it hides well in the chunky yarn.
Hello, great tutorial! What is the size of the finished blanket?
Size will vary greatly by how big for small you make your loops. And over time it will stretch out some. I recommend getting the width you want with your first chain and then keep adding length until you are happy with the size. This large blanket covers my queen been.
So I bought 5 and 5 of each color and want it to have more stripes. Would I just rotate after every few rows to the next color or finish a color? It’s my first time doing one of these
You can swap colors at any point you like. It looks most seamless if done at the end of a row.
I am looking for measurements to make a chunky blanket for a queen bed, can you help?
I would look up the standard size of a queen comforter to when you start your blanket keep measuring your first chain until it’s the width of a queen comforter then start adding rows measuring as you go until it’s the length of a queen comforter.
hi! loved the tutorial.IT WAS GREAT! but... girl... how many skein did you used for that blanket?
Haha thanks and I used 9! It’s a BIG blanket.
The links in your description dont work in my country. Would love to know the type of yarn used
Eternal bliss hobby lobby brand
In Canada those are 14.99 a piece
This video is great and I’ve made several blankets using it. But I’m having a problem with my blanket “growing” in width. I’ve followed the video and first loops to a tee. I’ve ripped it out several times because it ends up being wider than I wanted. Any tips or know what I’m doing wrong??
The blanket will stretch over time depending on the tightness of the loops and yarn you are using. Try to keep your loops tight as you go. It’s not going to be a perfect square because it is such chunky yarn. I’m glad you are enjoying the video! Thank you for your feedback.
Does the blanket keep its softness and fluffy after washing?
Yes!
Hi, could it be done with a less chunky chenille?
Possibly but your loops would have to be pretty small for the blanket to hold up and have a shape.
Where do you find the big skeins of yarns bee?
Hobby Lobby and they are on sale every other week so check your local ad for sale dates.
Fairly new to this, I've made 2 blankets so far but still watching tutorials to improve. Some people skip the first loop going back, I noticed you don't. Have you ever tried it that way?
I have not tried it that way. I want to keep my edges as straight as possible.
@@CraftwithBethany the people I've watched who do this say it does keep it straight plus it makes a braided edge. If I try it that way I'll report back LOL
How many balls do you think I would need for a 50x60?
I’m not sure because it depends on the type of yarn, it’s stretch and how tight or loose you make your loops. I used 9.5 sirens for mine and it’s huge.
May be a dumb question, but I'm going to ask anyway, does anyone know how many loops should be in the second row (and continue) if your chain is 40?
Should be a loop for each chain and so on.
Should the yarn be washed first? Can these blankets be washed in the washing machine?
N need to pre wash your yarn. And yes you can wash and dry your blanket when done. I recommend following the care instructions on your yarns
Thank you 😊
What type of thread did u use? Cotton? Polyester? Monofilament?
I believe it was polyester but whatever you have on hand will work. It won’t be visible.
