If I could kiss you right now I would. You have rescued me. I have started 3 times with this yarn and was so frustrated not being able to see the stitches. What you have shown makes so much sense. I searched a lot, even under bulky yarns to no avail. Thank you so much. All I wanted was a simple scarf. Thanks again.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, THE EXPLANATION IS VERY CLEAR. I have been trying to crochet and i watched some tutorials and i was completely blank on how to crochet, i came across your video and now i finally understand! im currently crocheting a bag for my mom. You just earned a like and a sub💓
I have done dozens of blankets and hundreds of dishcloths. I hate doing corners, I’m never quite sure where to place them. Thank you for showing a close up of all 4 sides and all 4 corners, especially the foundation row corners. Time to use my new knowledge and hopefully not get too frustrated.
Fiiiiinallyyyyyy, best instructional video EVER. I finally learned how to work with two different yarns at the same time, and how to properly change colors. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. You Robin, rock. Thanks again. I’m so happy 😀.
@@angelalevander1883 I was wondering that. Since I already have like 20 skeins of chenilles yarn in many different colors. I might have like 8 different colors. I love this pattern and wanna try but couldn’t figure out how to do it with so many different colors.
@HookedbyRobin I can’t tell you how grateful I am to your channel. I was looking for a stich for a blanket for my adult Son. I was debating between the Lemon peel from your page or the half double Thermal stitch then I found this an just knew this will be the stitch, I have awful issues with straight lines for blankets so this will be my first blanket. My adult son has autism and he was over and picked up one of the cat blankets I made for a rescue and felt it and said “Ewwwww my autism loves this” after my Mom heart restarted I knew I had to do my best to make him a blanket with Bernat blanket super bulky 6 no matter how many times I will have to frog it 😁. Thank you for giving me hope to make this blanket for him. (Sorry this was so long but the story is where the love is lol)
Robin, you are a lifesaver. after struggling with this yarn, despite loving it and persevering anyway, your super tips are now a game changer and I can't wait to make more chenille blankets this way now. Thank you so very much for your brilliant and helpful videos. ❤️
This blanket pattern is right on time! Thanks for sharing. This yarn can be a challenge. I washed the 2 I made on machine delicate cycle and in dryer on no heat for about 10 minutes. All it did was fluff it back out. I laid on a sheet on the bed to finish drying. It was soft again!
I've had to restart my chenille blanket so many times because of so many issues. I feel like I can follow this tutorial. You are my go to for guidance now! I love your videos. ❤
I want you to know you are absolutely an amazing instructor 🎉. You are so easy to follow and you don’t talk down to you audience. I cannot read written instructions and believe me I have tried. You go along at just the right speed for me to keep up. I’m so glad that I happened to find your videos.
Just wanted to say that I used this video to finally crochet my first blanket that's even on all sides! I really appreciated the tips (especially the edge tags! Those really helped) and how you included what you did at each pivotal step. Every time I would come to a point where I had a question on what to do next, I was able to go right back to your video and find the answer! Thank you for your help!
Omg I love you. I’ve had to restart a blanket 3 times because of this yarn… because finding and counting stitches has been a nightmare!!! This is a lifesaver WOW you rock
I had a hard time learning to crochet until I found this page this week and went to the website and TH-cam videos. I’m a subscriber now. Loved all robins work.
I'm seeing this 11 months after it's been posted, but I'm really grateful it came across my feed. I have 6 cones of Premier Just Chenille that I've been looking for a blanket pattern that is easy to do, but looks sophisticated. I think this is it! Thank you for this tutorial. I love all your videos (at least the ones I've seen), and your teaching method is exactly how I learn. Thank you, from Georgia, USA!
Really beautiful stitch. I dug out my buried boxes of bernat and I’m excited to make as many baby blankets as I can now. Every other stitch I tried just looked so “messy” with this yarn. This is perfect! Thank you!
Thank you Robin! All of your hints for using this yarn are so valuable! It all makes so much sense and now it’s much easier for me to work with it. Great instructional video!
I've watched tons of tutorials on different techniques & patterns, but your instructions & descriptions are by far the best. I've got a few balls of bulky yarn in various colors that will be made into a verigated scarf for next winter. Thank you so much for the excellent tutorial. YES, I subscribed!
So pretty Robin, great idea for this yarn! I make cat size blankets for a cat sanctuary/adoption place so going to dig through my yarn for chenille to make one of these for the cats. They're going to love it! 💜🐈⬛
I made this using your same colors into a lap throw and always receive compliments. I am now making a second one. Thank you for your very clear and easy to follow instructions.
This is the stitch I've been looking for! I have Fluffy yarn like this that I bought to make a throw blanket, but couldn't find a stitch until now. Thank you for sharing this!
Hi Robin. As someone who used to crochet a lot many years ago, I got back into it after having Covid. I cannot tell you haw much I'm enjoying your videos, not just as a tool to help me get back int the rhythm of it, but also just to enjoy watching. Your videos have a somewhat ASMR quality that I find very relaxing. Thank you so much for taking the time to be so clear. I do have to say too, I am a tiny but jealous of your hook collection.
Hi Pagan, thank you so much for your wonderful comment.🥰 As for the hooks, I only started off with a few. The more you crochet, the more hooks and yarn you end up with.🫣😅
Thank you so much. After one very difficult project with that chenille I stayed away from it for years. Now i'm ready to try again. I love the look and feel of chenille yarn
You work so fast to me (a beginner) HOWEVER your tutorial has been the easiest to follow! I was having so much trouble after making my first stitch on figuring out how to continue on making multiple stitches lol! This will be the video I refer to from now on. 😭❤️ thank you!!!
THANK YOU ! I have finally started this and it’s so fun and beautiful! I am using 2 velvet yarns and 1 chenille type . The chenille is def helping give the stitches some “bite”. I encourage everyone to try this blanket pattern!! I’m addicted and can’t put it down. 😅
Thank you. Thank you! My first Chenille blanket was a disaster. It was a nightmare trying to keep the chenille from worming. Love your beautiful blanket. You have inspired me to make another chenille blanket using your stitch pattern. Great tutorial!
I just want to thank you for sharing this stitch. I have made well over six blankets with this stitch, and I have enjoyed making all of them. I am donating a few of my blankets that I made with this stitch to the Boggy Creek Blanket Drive. The others I will donate to Wishes for Wings because they are collecting baby blankets for the month of October. I am going to continue using this stitch for all the blankets that I make using blanket yarn. Everything looks so even and nice and I don’t have to worry about the stitches becoming unraveled. Also, I am going to make a blanket in the spring for pride month using your tutorial for a Ripple blanket. Thank you for being an amazing teacher. You are truly blessed and talented. Namaste and thank you.❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
What a wonderful comment, thank you so much Melanie.🥰 That is the loveliest thing to do and I’m so glad you enjoyed making them. Thank you again for sharing that with me.😃
Thank you! I bought enough chenille yarn to crochet a large afghan, and after several failed attempts with several different patterns I gave up and stashed the yarn. I pulled it back out after seeing this video and gave it one more try - and SUCCESS!! I'm well on my way to a beautiful afghan!! Thank you soooooo much! 💖
Thank you very much, You are a great teacher. Your tutorial was very easy to follow and I was able to replicate with ease your instructions with a very successful out come. Again great job, and I appreciate you and your great instructions!
I really like this stitch! I also really like they way you show how to do it. Your instruction is very clear and I can see everything you are doing. Thank you!!
Pure genius. And what great timing for me. I was given three huge skeins of Bernat Crushed Velvet yarn and was struggling with different stitches of regular and Tunisian crochet and couldn't settle into any one of them because of the loops and other difficulties. I've done 3 rows and it's coming along like a breeze. So easy, fast and nice looking. Perfect! Thank you so much for sharing this.
🙋♀️Hi Robin, I just want to say is. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for your videos & free patterns. I have been crocheting for some time now. Basically, blankets, slippers, hats, scarves, and dishcloths. Etc… I do have problems reading patterns, so when there's a video explaining the pattern, it then makes sense to me. So again this 67-year-old Wife, Mother, Sister, Friend & Crocheter, Thanks you for your talented assistance. Vickie from, Port Charlotte, Florida 🫶😎✝︎🦩
Just finished this blanket and sending it off to a family member. It worked up so nicely. I purchased the Ice Yarn rather than substitute and I'm glad I did. It was a very easy project.
Thank you thank you! I am a newbie crochet-er, and I started making a chenille blanket. I probably would have thrown my hook down in frustration if I hadn't found this video and switched from a straight up sc to this hdc into holes. My friends were awed when I stitched in a darkened theater (just need to feel the holes), and that lead me to go try my hand at a bunch of other crochet projects. I recently purchased some realllllllly bad quality chenille yarn and was muttering under my breath when I remembered your video, and now it's coming together into a blanket. Which is good because the yarn was so inexpensive that I bought 12 skeins (and this is why we don't buy yarn at the dollar store, duh). Now it's not going to go to waist and I can make a cute blanket for my newborn grandson.
What a great pattern! I bought this yarn by mistake and didn’t know what to do with it. Ended up making two security blankets for two very much loved dogs in the family, they loved them! Now I look forward to buying this yarn again and making this pattern. Thanks Robin!
I’m so happy I happened upon this tutorial! I bought several skeins of chenille yarn for weaving baby blankets, but OMG what a mess once I took it off the loom! Wondered whatever I was going to make with that yarn, but now I know - thank you!
Great stitch pattern!! Love doing HDC! That yarn is a perfect choice for a baby blankie, lap throw, etc! It’s so soft and cuddly! Thank you for sharing this wonderful pattern with us, Robin! 🤗
It's SO soft - like the back of a kittens ear! You can tell I'm enjoying a project when I actually start and FINISH a blanket 😂 That's a rarity in itself lol
I’m making this blanket to my lover rn I’m almost done with it i made it with 10 different colours so it would be joyful and show him how much i love him thank you for your video it is really helping me to show my love i hope you have a great day and a happy life 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Talk about perfect timing! I just ordered some chenille yarn to make a blanket for my neighbor’s young son and was trying to figure out a good stitch to make it with. Lovely tutorial, so clear and easy to follow! Thank you for sharing this! Now a new sub. 😁🧶
Thank you so much❤ This video was very helpful❤ I couldn't find a video that could actually explain it this properly😂 I am 12 and only started crocheting this year but it felt like I actually knew what I was doing😊
I just happened upon your channel and this is the best instructional video I have ever seen. I love making chenille blankets but I've only done them in knitting because crochet seems to be too tight without enough stretch or the stitches or to open. This design is absolutely beautiful, easy, and as you said works well with the shedding and weaving of chenille yarn.
I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying doing this stitch!! It is so easy but looks so lush. Great tutorial and I can't wait to see my finished blanket. 😊
Your a great teacher, u take your time, not like some of the others, i real admire how u take the patience to show how to do a big thanks to you may God continue to bless you and your family ❤🎉❤🎉
Your knowledge on working with the chenille yarn was very helpful to me. I have been struggling with different stitches, trying to find one that would work with the project I had in mind, and FINALLY I can continue it!!! Thank you for the tutorial!
Hi robin, thank you so much for this great tutorial. It was so easy to follow for me as a beginner. Finished my first blanket, made only a tiny mistake in the border 😂. I’m now making one for my daughter. So thanks again, wish I could show you the result.
This video is so helpbul! I crocheted a corner-to-corner lap blanket with chanille and was very dismayed when it started to go all loopy even before I finished. Now I know why and how to do it right - many thanks !
I’ve been stuck for inspiration lately and decided to start having a go at some of your different stitch tutorials and I’m loving them. I love how you explain things so simply and your videos are nice and clear and it’s easy to see the stitches. Thank you! I am intrigued, though, to know what you do with all your little samples that you make in these stitch tutorials?
Hi Robin❣️ I love your style of your tutorials, slow enough for beginners, informative for all levels of expertise and pleasant to listen to. Lots of times I will be making blankets or baskets but I listen to your various tutorials. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time!❣️🧶🧶🙏
My first ever crochet project was your viral bee tutorial. That was over a year and a half ago. A few months ago I decided I wanted so so badly to make my boyfriend a blanket and I bought this kind of yarn knowing he would love it. I followed another TH-cam tutorial and had almost a meter of project done when I realised the sides were wavy and turned to one side. I decided to frog it and when I was ready to completely give up on this gift I came back to your channel and realised you have a whole video on exactly what I needed. You are such a lifesaver Robin!! Thank you so much for being part of my crochet journey all the way through. Now I know to check your channel first! hahahaha.
Thank you for this easy pattern! Just started my great niece a blanket tonight using the HDC. I’m only using 2 colors and doing 2 rows before I change color. It’s coming out fantastic!!!
How perfect that you posted this one today a friend just sent me 3 beautiful balls of this yarn in 3 different colors now I know what I will be making with them ...LOL
Robin, I just came across this video and love it. It’s a beautiful blanket. Also, your manner of teaching, the detail of the instructions, and the visuals are fantastic, perfect for a newbie like me. Thank you! 😊
Chenille!!! That's the name of this unbelievably SOFT but wormy squirmy yarn! I"m so excited to use this stitch on a blanket, that won't be super holey!!!
Thank you so much Robin! Your videos are very thorough and you talk us through them as if you were actually in a class in front of us. You have a great deal of patience and posses great teaching qualities. This is a new stitch, a new texture of yarn, and a new pattern for me. 😊 I am so excited to create my first baby blanket w/border for my new grandson 🥰
I agree with Felicia Moss. Your video very informative. I was thinking to use this stitch for cushion covers. Beautiful. Marieta from Pretoria, South Africa
I could listen to your instructions all day. Such a lovely accent 😊. You are so thorough, and have made this so simple, thank you for sharing ❤. I bought a blanket from a yard sale not so long ago with this stitch, and I wondered how she achieved it. Now I know
What happened to me is the alleged Mark Twain quote - I am such a rookie, that "I didn't know it was impossible, so I did it" : amigurumi with chenille yarn, but boy it took so many failed attempts! 😆 I only started making any progress when I let myself go by feel, like you suggest here. It kind of also works when working into the top of the stitches, but only if I don't let them get too tight. Thank you so much for letting me know it wasn't just me! And also for the color change part of the tutorial. I am growing to be a big fan of your channel, I have so much satisfaction from being able to - again, as a complete beginner - create intricate patterns (like fans and shells), by following your guidance! ❤ Enjoy your vacation! 🌴
Robin I love this blanket video. I’m 76 & am just starting to crochet for the first time. I’ve got the velvet yarn in 3 colours & am going to start this very soon. I’ve watched this video so many times so hopefully I have got the idea. If not you are here to help. So many, many thanks. You are my inspiration.xx🥰👍😁
Thank You! HDC is my favorite stitch! I've improvised on my prep for border and corners so far! Now I can proceed confidently! Your tutorial clearly demonstrates the best technique. Love this!
This is beautiful. I’m going to try making this for my little girl as a “prayer blanket” for an upcoming brain surgery. She’ll be wrapped in love! Haven’t made a blanket with this size yarn before, just the thinner ones, so I’m excited to try it! Thank you for sharing this very clear and concise tutorial. ❤🎉
Just wanted you to know, my daughter made it through surgery complication free and slept beautifully wrapped in the love of the blanket I made from Your tutorial. Thank you again ❤
Why couldn't you have been here years ago!!! This stitch has become my game changer and new favorite like omg!!! I've managed to make blanket say 50 stitches and it doubled somehow using g the in the stitch stitch lol. I've given up on this yarn for blankets till I seen this tutorial +!! I've also only successfully made toques for hubby who works outside in -35 celcius weather the bald men be jealous hahaha. Nowni am doing the happy. Dance again ty ty ty!!!
I'm such a newbe when it comes to crochet and a left handed one at that. I love this pattern you created and will whole heartedly give it a try or give up which ever one comes first.
Hi Angela, If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on TH-cam yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!😀
Thank you so much for this tutorial Robin!!! I have a bunch of pretty velvet yarn that I wasn't sure what I was going to make with it. Since this is, by far, the most informative tutorial about this kind of yarn, I now know what I'm going to make 😀
Great instructions and so easy to understand. I’ve finally purchased some Chenille after giving it away because I was really struggling. Just made a scarf using these instructions the only difference I did it with two colors. Thanks for sharing🤗
Love the stitch pattern and colors you used. I'm not sure I'll make this using chenille (too many horror stories). I'm going to experiment with a #5 chunky yarn for a vest. Outstanding video.
You’re welcome Debbie!😃 How are you finding crochet so far? This may help you too: th-cam.com/play/PLP0pPGx0kI8-ryt9f_jazZC5oyRd5eIqI.html&si=xPZtCDsKY4tBs3gN
Wondering about the textured border on this blanket? I used the Crochet Camel Stitch Border: th-cam.com/video/lOICiUPC5vs/w-d-xo.html 👈🧶
After weaving in the ends I pull off the chenille which exposes the cotton threads and then sew them in and knot.
Will this yarn stop shedding after it is washed?
😊😊
Saaaaaaafffeeeee....I currently have 4 projects in my bag eyeing for my attention 🤣😂🤣😂

This makes me so happy to read, thank you Joe! 🥰🤗
Subscribed! Great video thanks so much for sharing.😊
Fiiiiinallyyyyyy, best instructional video EVER. I finally learned how to work with two different yarns at the same time, and how to properly change colors. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. You Robin, rock. Thanks again. I’m so happy 😀.
Aw yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful! 🥰🧶
Also you can apply the same technique to more than 2 colors you can add as many as needed or wanted
@@angelalevander1883 I was wondering that. Since I already have like 20 skeins of chenilles yarn in many different colors. I might have like 8 different colors. I love this pattern and wanna try but couldn’t figure out how to do it with so many different colors.
@@HookedbyRobin Norma’s post is the reason I am going to watch this video! 😊
Can I just use one color to make this blanket?
@HookedbyRobin I can’t tell you how grateful I am to your channel. I was looking for a stich for a blanket for my adult Son.

To which the obvious answer is yes. Yes you do... LOL
😜🧶
after watching this video, i restart my halfway blanket that use 19 balls with almost 100g per ball😌
You can make mini blankets, like with super thin cotton sewing yarn and then use them as wall hanging 😅 saves space and sells nice als 'yarnpainting'
Hahaaaa!!! Me too!!
😅 🙋🏻♀️same
Thanks!
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much. After one very difficult project with that chenille I stayed away from it for years. Now i'm ready to try again. I love the look and feel of chenille yarn

I probably would have thrown my hook down in frustration if I hadn't found this video and switched from a straight up sc to this hdc into holes. My friends were awed when I stitched in a darkened theater (just need to feel the holes), and that lead me to go try my hand at a bunch of other crochet projects. I recently purchased some realllllllly bad quality chenille yarn and was muttering under my breath when I remembered your video, and now it's coming together into a blanket. Which is good because the yarn was so inexpensive that I bought 12 skeins (and this is why we don't buy yarn at the dollar store, duh). Now it's not going to go to waist and I can make a cute blanket for my newborn grandson.
You're so welcome, I am really glad it helps and enjoy making your blanket.😀
I accepted a new job as a nanny and I'm definitely making this for the little one that I'll be taking care of!♡
How lovely! 😍🥰
Thanks so much for the clarity, the quality of the video and your excellent prononciation! Eng isn't my mother language and I understood everything!
What a lovely comment, thank you Elodie! 😃🤗
What a great pattern! I bought this yarn by mistake and didn’t know what to do with it. Ended up making two security blankets for two very much loved dogs in the family, they loved them! Now I look forward to buying this yarn again and making this pattern. Thanks Robin!
You’re very welcome Ashley! 😃🧶
I’m making this for my sister who goes to college in Rochester NY and it’s freezing there so this blanket is perfect!
I’m so happy I happened upon this tutorial! I bought several skeins of chenille yarn for weaving baby blankets, but OMG what a mess once I took it off the loom! Wondered whatever I was going to make with that yarn, but now I know - thank you!
I am pleased it has helped Diane.😃🧶
This is the first tutorial I’ve seen on the Chenille yarn. Thank you for sharing.
You’re so welcome Christine!😃🤗
Great stitch pattern!! Love doing HDC! That yarn is a perfect choice for a baby blankie, lap throw, etc! It’s so soft and cuddly! Thank you for sharing this wonderful pattern with us, Robin! 🤗
It's SO soft - like the back of a kittens ear! You can tell I'm enjoying a project when I actually start and FINISH a blanket 😂 That's a rarity in itself lol
I am an absolute beginner....and I made a scarf with this design. I feel so proud. Thank you. 💓💓💓💓
Amazing! 😃 Definitely be proud of yourself.🧣 x
Just started crocheting, so I’m a total beginner, but this was so easy to follow. Thank you!!
I am so pleased it helps! 😃🧶
Creative grandma told everybody about you and she's right I love your tutorials and I would love to make that blanket
Aw thank you so much! 🥰
This is the prettiest blanket I've seen with this yarn!!!!! I might make one now. Thank you so much for tutorial.
What a lovely compliment thank you!
I’m making this blanket to my lover rn I’m almost done with it i made it with 10 different colours so it would be joyful and show him how much i love him thank you for your video it is really helping me to show my love i hope you have a great day and a happy life 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
You're very welcome, that sounds like a wonderful present - I am sure he will love it.😃🧶
Talk about perfect timing! I just ordered some chenille yarn to make a blanket for my neighbor’s young son and was trying to figure out a good stitch to make it with. Lovely tutorial, so clear and easy to follow! Thank you for sharing this! Now a new sub. 😁🧶
Thank you so much❤ This video was very helpful❤ I couldn't find a video that could actually explain it this properly😂 I am 12 and only started crocheting this year but it felt like I actually knew what I was doing😊
I just happened upon your channel and this is the best instructional video I have ever seen. I love making chenille blankets but I've only done them in knitting because crochet seems to be too tight without enough stretch or the stitches or to open. This design is absolutely beautiful, easy, and as you said works well with the shedding and weaving of chenille yarn.
So nice to have you here Candace and I am so pleased my video has helped you.😃
Out of all instructors YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO CROCHET. Thank you for the best most clear explanation ❤❤❤❤❤
You’re welcome Stephany!😃🧶
I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying doing this stitch!! It is so easy but looks so lush. Great tutorial and I can't wait to see my finished blanket. 😊
Thank you so much Lisa, I am so glad you are enjoying it.😃🤗
Your a great teacher, u take your time, not like some of the others, i real admire how u take the patience to show how to do a big thanks to you may God continue to bless you and your family ❤🎉❤🎉
Awwh, thank you so much Louise!🥰🤗
Your knowledge on working with the chenille yarn was very helpful to me. I have been struggling with different stitches, trying to find one that would work with the project I had in mind, and FINALLY I can continue it!!! Thank you for the tutorial!
I’m so pleased it helps Frances, chenille yarn is so lovely to work with once you know how.😃🧶
Hi robin, thank you so much for this great tutorial. It was so easy to follow for me as a beginner. Finished my first blanket, made only a tiny mistake in the border 😂. I’m now making one for my daughter. So thanks again, wish I could show you the result.
You are most welcome! So glad it helped 🥰
This video is so helpbul! I crocheted a corner-to-corner lap blanket with chanille and was very dismayed when it started to go all loopy even before I finished. Now I know why and how to do it right - many thanks !
Ah no! I’m glad my video helps though.😃🧶
I’ve been stuck for inspiration lately and decided to start having a go at some of your different stitch tutorials and I’m loving them. I love how you explain things so simply and your videos are nice and clear and it’s easy to see the stitches. Thank you!
I am intrigued, though, to know what you do with all your little samples that you make in these stitch tutorials?
Hi Robin❣️ I love your style of your tutorials, slow enough for beginners, informative for all levels of expertise and pleasant to listen to. Lots of times I will be making blankets or baskets but I listen to your various tutorials. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time!❣️🧶🧶🙏
What a wonderful comment, thank you so much! 🥰🤗
My first ever crochet project was your viral bee tutorial. That was over a year and a half ago.
A few months ago I decided I wanted so so badly to make my boyfriend a blanket and I bought this kind of yarn knowing he would love it. I followed another TH-cam tutorial and had almost a meter of project done when I realised the sides were wavy and turned to one side. I decided to frog it and when I was ready to completely give up on this gift I came back to your channel and realised you have a whole video on exactly what I needed.
You are such a lifesaver Robin!! Thank you so much for being part of my crochet journey all the way through. Now I know to check your channel first! hahahaha.
😅 aw thank you! 🧶
Thank you for this easy pattern! Just started my great niece a blanket tonight using the HDC. I’m only using 2 colors and doing 2 rows before I change color. It’s coming out fantastic!!!
How perfect that you posted this one today a friend just sent me 3 beautiful balls of this yarn in 3 different colors now I know what I will be making with them ...LOL
It's fate! 😄🧶
Robin, I just came across this video and love it. It’s a beautiful blanket. Also, your manner of teaching, the detail of the instructions, and the visuals are fantastic, perfect for a newbie like me. Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment Marlene!😃
I just like listening to your voice ☺️🇬🇧
Awwh, thank you so much Danielle!🥰🤗
Chenille!!! That's the name of this unbelievably SOFT but wormy squirmy yarn!
I"m so excited to use this stitch on a blanket, that won't be super holey!!!
It is so squishy Lindsay! 😍 Enjoy making your blanket.x
Thank you so much Robin! Your videos are very thorough and you talk us through them as if you were actually in a class in front of us. You have a great deal of patience and posses great teaching qualities. This is a new stitch, a new texture of yarn, and a new pattern for me. 😊 I am so excited to create my first baby blanket w/border for my new grandson 🥰
Such a lovely comment, thank you so much Felicia! 🥰🧶
I agree with Felicia Moss. Your video very informative. I was thinking to use this stitch for cushion covers. Beautiful. Marieta from Pretoria, South Africa
Bulky yarns made me nervous until now. Thank you for this wonderful instruction. 💖
You’re so welcome Sherry, definitely no need to be nervous!😃🤗
When working with chenille yarns, I sear the ends with a lighter to prevent excessive shedding.
I could listen to your instructions all day. Such a lovely accent 😊. You are so thorough, and have made this so simple, thank you for sharing ❤. I bought a blanket from a yard sale not so long ago with this stitch, and I wondered how she achieved it. Now I know
Thank you so much Jerri! 😃🥰
@@HookedbyRobin You are very welcome
Thx Robin,these yarns can be difficult but so worth it.👍😊
🥰🧶
You are the best crochet teacher. I am a fan of yours❤
Awh, thank you so much!🥰🤗
I love making this blanket so much I'm making 6, one for each of my family members for Christmas! 😊
That’s amazing! And super organised.😃🎄
@@HookedbyRobin that's why I'm starting now! LOL
Good plan! 😂
What happened to me is the alleged Mark Twain quote - I am such a rookie, that "I didn't know it was impossible, so I did it" : amigurumi with chenille yarn, but boy it took so many failed attempts! 😆 I only started making any progress when I let myself go by feel, like you suggest here. It kind of also works when working into the top of the stitches, but only if I don't let them get too tight. Thank you so much for letting me know it wasn't just me! And also for the color change part of the tutorial.
I am growing to be a big fan of your channel, I have so much satisfaction from being able to - again, as a complete beginner - create intricate patterns (like fans and shells), by following your guidance! ❤ Enjoy your vacation! 🌴
Awesome! For some reason I have so much chenille yarn. Great stitch for it! Thank you
I do too! Not sure how I amassed it but it was certainly nice to put it to good use and make a dent in my stash! 😅
Robin I love this blanket video. I’m 76 & am just starting to crochet for the first time. I’ve got the velvet yarn in 3 colours & am going to start this very soon. I’ve watched this video so many times so hopefully I have got the idea. If not you are here to help. So many, many thanks. You are my inspiration.xx🥰👍😁
Hi Val, you can absolutely do this!😃 Take it step by step and it just practice too.x
Girl!!!! You gotta stop!!!! I think I've got 3,245,322,453 of your blankets started! Now I've got to start this one too! 🤪💜🇨🇱
😂😂😂🧶🙈
Can't find your description with how much Chenille would be needed for this blanket. Please advise.
I think this pattern will let me be happy working with this yarn. I'm grateful for your explanations and clarity. ❤
Thank you so much Virginia!😃🧶
Thank You! HDC is my favorite stitch! I've improvised on my prep for border and corners so far! Now I can proceed confidently! Your tutorial clearly demonstrates the best technique. Love this!
🥰🧶
This is beautiful. I’m going to try making this for my little girl as a “prayer blanket” for an upcoming brain surgery. She’ll be wrapped in love! Haven’t made a blanket with this size yarn before, just the thinner ones, so I’m excited to try it! Thank you for sharing this very clear and concise tutorial. ❤🎉
That is such a lovely idea, I hope it all goes well.🤗
Thank you❤😌
Just wanted you to know, my daughter made it through surgery complication free and slept beautifully wrapped in the love of the blanket I made from
Your tutorial. Thank you again ❤
Such a nice stitch! I always grab some cotton yarn to make a dishcloth when learning a new stitch...it is beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial.
Great idea!
I do too. I can learn a new stitch and have a dish cloth to gift or keep
@@patriciamcgarr3183 Yes, that's the idea!
Another great blanket stitch. This is so pretty. Thanks for sharing.
I am glad you like it Karen! 😃🧶
I love this stitch. I use the half double stitch often in projects. Every stitch stands out with the color change. Thank you for sharing. 💜🙏🏻
Why couldn't you have been here years ago!!! This stitch has become my game changer and new favorite like omg!!! I've managed to make blanket say 50 stitches and it doubled somehow using g the in the stitch stitch lol. I've given up on this yarn for blankets till I seen this tutorial +!! I've also only successfully made toques for hubby who works outside in -35 celcius weather the bald men be jealous hahaha. Nowni am doing the happy. Dance again ty ty ty!!!
Trust me this yarn brought more myn truckers mouth out than it has ever been.
😅🫣
Awwh, you’re so welcome Bernie! 😃 I am so pleased my video helped, it is a lovely yarn once you know how.x
You’re a genius!!! Love ❤️ the look of this! Thanks for your tips on working with this yarn.
🥰🧶
I'm such a newbe when it comes to crochet and a left handed one at that. I love this pattern you created and will whole heartedly give it a try or give up which ever one comes first.
Hi Angela, If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on TH-cam yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!😀
❤❤❤ love how you explain everything at just the right pace ❤❤❤
Thank you Nicola! 🥰😃
Great Teacher and great tips,as always!!! Thanks for your sweet smile while you are talking!🤗🌹🧶🙋♀️🇦🇷🇦🇷
Thank you Maria! 🤗
Thank you so much for this tutorial Robin!!! I have a bunch of pretty velvet yarn that I wasn't sure what I was going to make with it. Since this is, by far, the most informative tutorial about this kind of yarn, I now know what I'm going to make 😀
Great instructions and so easy to understand. I’ve finally purchased some Chenille after giving it away because I was really struggling. Just made a scarf using these instructions the only difference I did it with two colors. Thanks for sharing🤗
Thank you Zoila, I’m glad my video helped.😃🤗
Brilliant! This is awesome! Your blanket is absolutely stunning. 😍. ☮💜🧶
Thank you so much! My daughter has stolen it from me already 😂
@@HookedbyRobin 😂🤣. Kids are just like that. 🤔
@@lisahartmann7236 rude aren't they LOL! 😂
Thanks for the tip about washing chenille. I’ve never used it but always wanted to try it. Now I will, thanks Robin.
It is so soft! 😃 You’re welcome Dolton.x
Love the stitch pattern and colors you used. I'm not sure I'll make this using chenille (too many horror stories). I'm going to experiment with a #5 chunky yarn for a vest.
Outstanding video.
You do a great job explaining the stitches, and you show the chains clearly and it is easy to follow. Thank you so much. I am new to crochet.
You’re welcome Debbie!😃 How are you finding crochet so far? This may help you too:

Brilliant Robin thank you it looks lovely 😊Amanda xx💕
Thank you Amanda! It's SO soft, my daughter has stolen it already 😂
@@HookedbyRobin 😂I don’t blame her lol xx
Great video, never wanted to ever go near Chenille yarn but after watching your video it had changed my view. Thank you.
I am so glad it has helped Connie! 😃
I can definitely see that you are working those stitches by feel. Very cool!
Thank you NancyLee!😃🧶
Honestly this is by far the best channel to learn new stitches.
Thank you so much Frank! 😃🥰
