This blanket is gorgeous Robin. I'm going to try this, but, I think I'll carry the necessary yarn up the side and put on a border. I hate sewing in all those tails ♥️
Please remember, we are not stuck in isolation. We are SAFE in isolation. One word can make a huge psychological difference. Stay safe everyone and loads of love from Montreal, Quebec! 💖🤗
Amazing idea! I would use magic knots when I change colors though to avoid weaving ends and it would make keeping the tension at the end of rows easier.. Amazing idea as usual 👏👏👏 Thanks a lot for sharing your inspirations 🌷
I recently found your channel looking for a granny square tutorial, after looking at numerous tutorials, my granny squares weren’t looking right. As soon as I followed yours, it’s turned out perfect and now I’m making my first blanket while in isolation, so I just wanted to say thank you! Can’t wait to follow your other videos 🥰
Love doing this sort of colour change. Been doing it for 60 years. And it does look lovely when one of the yarns is a variegated. Made a wheelchair shawl with five colours and a coordinating multi coloured yarn. Very comfy. Just need to find someone to give it to.
Just brilliant. Simply solves a color problem. My granddaughter loves purple. I was going to crochet her a bed blanket , but Caron discontinued the color... this is a simple solution. Thanks.
I luv your rainbow blanket I'm going to make that for myself thanks for putting a smile on my face 🌈🌈🌈💜 I luv listening to you you make it so easy to understand how to do crouching thanks so much 🙂🌈🌈🌈🌈🙂
I love this blanket and the clever colour change its ingenious thank you Robin I will definitely be giving it a try . Stay safe and cheerful as always 😊Amanda xx💕💖
What a great blanket! How do you handle the loose ends? Can I just crochet over them when I turn, or does that mess up the shading. Not sure of the proper terminology.
I was so mad when the staff at my summer camp banned yarn cos she found one piece that wasn’t even mine. But today was the last day, so I’m happy I can now!
I really like this. It will be very warm for the winter weather. I'm not stuck in isolation. I don't go anywhere unless I absolutely have too. Stay safe as well.
Beautiful blanket! I have made several with this same process in the past but it has been a great while. I'm so happy for this reminder as each one is so lovely. My favorite color combinations have been the highly contrasting colors. Bright red, deep purple, chartreuse, orange, turquoise, bright yellow!
This is BRILLIANT 😍❣️ LOVE ❤️ IT 🥰 I want to make it but only have worsted wt. the finished product would be extremely too thick for where I live 🤪 I'll find some lighter wt. yarns soon 👍🏾 Thanks for sharing 🎉
Omg what a fantastic idea to make an ombré look blanket with out buying yarn cakes. I use Stylrctaft special Dk & I have every colour that you have used in your big blanket so technically I will just be using my stash
Hi Robin!..Beautiful blanket!! can't wait to make it....I just finished your Lotus Flower Blanket..thank you for this beautiful pattern and amazing tutorial!! I used Cupcake yarn by Lion Brand, color Balloons...it's looks nice..Your projects are always fun to do! thank you!!
Such an amazingly splendid idea! I can't wait to try it out. 😄 And working with 3 strands could be so fun! Thank you for sharing this technique with us. It's wonderful! 💖
It’s always interesting to me when I examine patterns how in some there is intricate stitch work and in others, the beauty is simple stitch work and interesting colorways. Thanks for this lovely pattern. I definitely will be making it at some point in the near future.
I am wanting to do this except make it a full size blanket for my friend. I saw on the instructions to chair 95 for a baby blanket. What would I want to do for one that is adult size?
I bought enough yarn to make my cat a baby blanket (I know, crazy cat lady alert!) but I really want to make myself one as well lol! I’m curious on how much yarn to buy for a queen size blanket?
I love this blanket so much and really want to have a go at making it for my baby who is due in 10 weeks so I want to challenge myself to get it done in 8 weeks I just wanted to know what is the finished size of the blanket please. Love how easy your tutorial was to follow I've already done a test sample to make sure I have the stitch right
I wanna work with fingering weight Yarn with ombre effect. Is it possible create ombre effect with single strand or you have to use two strands at a time?
You are very welcome! This was simple enough to keep the mind calm yet interesting enough to make me actually follow through and finish it (for once 😂)
Typed in blog link for color list and pattern as suggested and all I get is link to video I am already watching. Whst am I doing wrong?? Or is the tutorial all there is?
Hmm that's odd - here is the link - under the video is the written pattern / list of colours etc 😀 (for some reason the link appears to be broken in my description box here on youtube!) www.hookedbyrobin.com/blog/crochet-diy-ombre-fade-baby-blanket-pattern
Love the colours in this blanket which I have in my yarn stash! I just started your Lotus Flower blanket yesterday, It is so addictive, I’m at row 20 already. I was needing some inspiration as past few weeks I just seem to have brain fog on what to crochet. You explain things so well Robin, and I’m sure a beginner would be able to follow your pattern and video easily. Thank you for taking time to make these videos, Some tutorials seem to over complicate patterns, but you explain things (in my opinion) very clearly.
Beautiful. I guess you could also use other stitches with the same colour changes if you wanted to vary a blanket. Maybe shell stitches worked with two strands. That would also be lovely I think. Thank you for such a good tutorial
The colours changing helped me not get bored! (I am the QUEEN of getting bored half way through a blanket haha! I rarely ever finish) you'll find yourself racing along to get to the next colour!
I made this but turned it into a twin sized blanket for my granddaughter. I worked as shown and then reversed the colors to the end. I wanted her to be able to use it for a long time.
have I been crocheting wrong the whole time??? I thought when crocheting that your hook goes under both loops of the stitch so the whole project is flat in the end, or was this something that you just did to add a bit of texture?
Don't panic! You haven't been doing it wrong! Crocheting into the back loop only is what gives it the ribbed texture 😀 (normally you go under both loops for standard flat blankets 👍)
Looking for more stash busting ideas? I have a playlist full here: th-cam.com/play/PLP0pPGx0kI88Tsv5goQuGpRAD7FgYGZJu.html 🧶😀
Thanks. That worked.
This blanket is gorgeous Robin. I'm going to try this, but, I think I'll carry the necessary yarn up the side and put on a border. I hate sewing in all those tails ♥️
Very wise 😂 I always regret my decision to cut the yarn when it comes to dealing with those pesky ends!
Please remember, we are not stuck in isolation. We are SAFE in isolation. One word can make a huge psychological difference. Stay safe everyone and loads of love from Montreal, Quebec! 💖🤗
You are 100% right there! X
I have anxiety issues and this actually helps, Thank You 🙏
Love this comment 💖 wish I had seen it 2 years ago
That was my exact thought when going through our nationwide lockdown in New Zealand ❤❤❤
Amazing idea!
I would use magic knots when I change colors though to avoid weaving ends and it would make keeping the tension at the end of rows easier.. Amazing idea as usual 👏👏👏 Thanks a lot for sharing your inspirations 🌷
Ah yes! Good thinking! 👍
Rose Smile. Hello what are magic knots when you're changing your wool please? Hate weaving in the ends myself.

Thank you. I don't know why that never occurred to me. Simple solution once I see it. Love your channel.

It's 2022 yarn prices have DOUBLED..SO FRUSTRATING AS HARD TO AFFORD THE YARN TO MAKE BLANKETS 😑
I love this blanket! 😍 I'll be making my friend a baby blanket soon, shes having her first girl! 💓
It is perfect for a little girl! 🦄
@@HookedbyRobin yes! I cant wait to buy the yarn for this 🧶
I have so much yarn that I’ll be able to use many colors for a queen-size blanket. I’ll be starting this pattern soon. Thanks for this great pattern!
It'll be amazing in queen size!!
I wish I had enough motivation
Just brilliant. Simply solves a color problem. My granddaughter loves purple. I was going to crochet her a bed blanket , but Caron discontinued the color... this is a simple solution. Thanks.
I love this and may need to use it to make a beautiful rainbow gradient scarf?
That’s what I was thinking she could have made..🥰
Good explication. Thanks from Spain. 🌹
That is beautiful! Thank you for showing how to do this ombre fade. I will be making one. 💕🥰💕
It's so simple and could look great with all sorts of colours! Great excuse to stash dive! 😀
Gorgeous idea and I bet It’s a cosy blanket. 🥰🥰🥰
It's so squishy! I'm using it as a lap blanket (move over babies, this one is mine 😂)
Wow! This is fantastic, I'm already imaging all the lovely things I can do with this idea . . . thankyou so much
This is really neat how it turns out. I’m going to try this soon. 🥰
I luv your rainbow blanket I'm going to make that for myself thanks for putting a smile on my face 🌈🌈🌈💜 I luv listening to you you make it so easy to understand how to do crouching thanks so much 🙂🌈🌈🌈🌈🙂
This is older but I love this!!! Gonna try it with Worsted yarn because I have it in my stash. Thank you!

Can you explain what double knit yarn is? What weight is it?
DK is light worsted, aka 8ply
Wow I love this. Can I ask what we do with all those ends? Do we tie them?
I love this blanket and the clever colour change its ingenious thank you Robin I will definitely be giving it a try . Stay safe and cheerful as always 😊Amanda xx💕💖
What a great blanket! How do you handle the loose ends? Can I just crochet over them when I turn, or does that mess up the shading. Not sure of the proper terminology.
Hi Tracy, thank you! 🥰 I use either of these methods: th-cam.com/video/GMjstBdp_2E/w-d-xo.html
I was so mad when the staff at my summer camp banned yarn cos she found one piece that wasn’t even mine. But today was the last day, so I’m happy I can now!
I absolutely love this method of ombre/color fade! So many possibilities! Thank you! Take care! 💗🧶
How gorgeous would this look in a ripple stitch? Super gorgeous!
I really like this. It will be very warm for the winter weather. I'm not stuck in isolation. I don't go anywhere unless I absolutely have too. Stay safe as well.
Same here

Hi Sue, they are really comfy. Hooks are here: www.amazon.co.uk/shop/hookedbyrobin
😃🧶
Obsessed with the rainbow. This will be more first blanket so I only bought 3 colors so we shall see how it turns out

Hooked by Robin 😂😂😂that sounds like me too
What ply yarn are you using? 2 or 3 or 4 ply
Hi Ginny, I’m using Stylecraft DK yarn, can’t remember the ply off the top of my head I’m afraid but I am sure it will be on their website.🧶
Typed in blog link for color list and pattern as suggested and all I get is link to video I am already watching. Whst am I doing wrong?? Or is the tutorial all there is?

So glad you are finding my videos helpful!
Great tutorial. Thank you. I wish I had seen this before making the shawl for my oldest granddaughter. Well now I know how for the next one
🥰
Look forward to your videos. Nice and relaxing which is what is needed right now.. ❤️
Thank you so much Kim!
This is beautiful! Thank You! Can't wait to try this!
This beautiful! Sorry:) did u make the border?
This is such a sweet and helpful tutorial! Thanks!
Beautiful. I guess you could also use other stitches with the same colour changes if you wanted to vary a blanket. Maybe shell stitches worked with two strands. That would also be lovely I think. Thank you for such a good tutorial
Shell stitches would look AMAZING 😍
That’s a good stash busting projects, I hope I won’t tire of DC! I love the fade! Thanks Robin
The colours changing helped me not get bored! (I am the QUEEN of getting bored half way through a blanket haha! I rarely ever finish) you'll find yourself racing along to get to the next colour!
Hi robin you are amazing,thank you so much for sharing ,a great idea love all you do stay well and safe xxxx
Thank you so much Deborah!
Hi...how do you hide the loose strands? I am a novice in crochet and wondering
Love it!! Great idea!! 👍🏻🙏🏻🌎
Thank you Debbie!
Are we allowed to use this stitch to make projects of our own and sell them? And for your other patterns as well?
love your videos
Aw thank you so much!
This is brilliant! Thank you for showing this!!
I made this but turned it into a twin sized blanket for my granddaughter. I worked as shown and then reversed the colors to the end. I wanted her to be able to use it for a long time.
That sounds so wonderful Melissa! 😍😃
Wondering if you would do anything Mickey Mouse
Omg thank you SO MUCH! My papa wanted a thick bracelet, but it was really complicated and took way more time than this! Thank you!
Your channel is the best channel😍😍
Aw thank you so much! 🥰
have I been crocheting wrong the whole time??? I thought when crocheting that your hook goes under both loops of the stitch so the whole project is flat in the end, or was this something that you just did to add a bit of texture?
