This is a great idea. I have a weighted blanket and I don’t like it on my feet. This is a perfect way to customize the size and color.
Very nice tutorial, easy to follow. Thank you.

[@YarnSociety]

I love this, so clever!! The pastel beads have my heart! ❤

[@Tish_Ann77]

Best video I've seen that shows how to do this type of project! Thank you!

[@karleedu]

I made one recently. So much fun! I used pony beads from Walmart. They have a larger hole so that I can use a 4mm hook! I also made mine with 1 row beads and 2 rows hdc. Turned out wonderful!

[@user-un8gx5uc9h]

This is beautiful. Can you explain why you're switching crochet hooks?

[@ES-iq2wb]

My sister has three large dogs that are all afraid of thunder and firework noise. I thought I might try this to make them weighted coats! Wish me luck. 🤪

[@susanjackson1907]

Many, Many Thank You’s!!!😊

I am making a small blanket for myself. LB Schitt's Creek bone colored yarn with royal blue beads. Thanks for the tutorial. It's easier than I originally thought.

[@pamcarter4980]

[@vickiedowney3869]

❤❤❤❤ Thank you for the video

[@ryuudrazyl5330]

I always laugh when I see crochet videos for projects that have existed for several years by other creators that seem to go viral every few years on rotation. 😂

[@1000_sweet_ideas]

If you knew this existed for years you could at least credit the original artist?? She did in this video, very commendable to credit where she found this pattern.

[@rubiegarnetrose]

Are these beads able to be put in the washing machine and dryer?

[@1000_sweet_ideas]

I would probably do a cold water wash, in a washer bag, then hang to dry...im wondering too because it would probably shrink if not careful

[@donnakosik7379]

👍😍

[@margaretsharp2464]

Any idea where I can get 16mm pearl beads with 2.5 mm hole for crochet? I’m looking everywhere can’t seem to find them!
