What weight is the yarns you are using? If I use different weighted yarn do I need to change hook size and if so then what hook should I do UP or DOWN?? Thanks
🧶"No strand left behind"🧶 Yes, I love using 2 strands for a blanket, because it's always a mystery of how it's going to look. I hope you're doing well, Robin🤗
@@wendajones9040 I made mine about 130 chains and it is very wide. I would suggest starting with 100 chains and then adjusting it to your preference from there. Probably somewhere between 110 and 120 for a regular blanket, but it will also depend on your yarn, hook, and tension.
I just wanted to tell you I love your channel so much! Whenever I’m stressed or can’t sleep, I love to watch crochet videos... especially yours. Your videos always help me relax!
I bought a HUGE bag of random yarn from the thrift store a couple months ago and havent been able to come up with what to do with it all, so this is perfect!!
Yeaaah for stash busting throws! I am working on one now but joining the yarns together? Never crossed my mind. I am going to incorporate this in my crochet. Thank You!
Love this idea I have done this before, I've even made a big enough baby blanket with it too and an amigurumi to go with it!! And the tiny scrap pieces make great stuffing as well. If they're too stringy I just shred it with my dog brush
I love these scrap blankets Robin yours looks fabulous , I made mine into a bedroom rug and it's so strong and hard wearing , it's been down a couple of years now and always washes well and looks so colourful , you've inspired me to do another thank you 😊Amanda xx💕
i have so much yarn and I had no idea what to do with it until i can across this video! i am currently working on a scrap yarn blanket to get rid most of my yarn so I can get new yarn! i love this idea! this is going to be the third blanket I’ve crocheted and i’m excited to see how it turns out!
I've made these for a longtime and give them as gifts. My tiny great nieces play on one and it's been spotted in various photos of the children, mum and dad pinch it in the evenings so I'm making the girls a new one. Also just finished one for a friend for Christmas. They last ages and wash well, lovely and warm. Great to make whilst watching TV.
3- heavy!! I’m doing one with yarn that’s wayyyyyyy more than a year old that I’ve put up......saving. 🤦♀️ if you drop a color. Mine is only 2 strands and sc !! If you check “ behind” you it will be noticeable if you drop a color. Love making this but I live in Georgia (USA) and it very seldom gets real cold but I hope ! 😂😂
In all honesty, I am probably the wrong person to ask as I very much wing it every time! (I am not a very organised person haha!) I tend to eyeball it until it is roughly the width I want 😀
Robin: if you're like me, and have a lot of yarn-... me: YEP 100% (edited...) also, i absolutely love the blanket!!!! lots of vibrant colours which makes it more pretty:))
It is a genious way of using leftover yarn.made numerous huge blankets like this in late 1980 when I was at the peak of crochet .that reminds me i could definetly make another one this weekend. Thanks alot ma'am for a exellent tutorial 😊❤
I was making a crop top but it was my first crochet project so the whole thing came out horribly. Now I'm adding more yarn to turn it into a desk blanket (not long enough for the bed but perfect length and width for sitting at my desk to work). I can treasure it as my first project, see all the mistakes (and improvements) while having it keep me cozy. I'm going to add more colours just for fun. It's not going to make ANY sense when I'm done with it but I will love it for what it is :)
@@topazpitt4619 when your moving soon and don't want to add to your yarn collection lol. I'm gonna try it's a lot of baby projects right now and finishing blankets.
Thanks... making scrap baskets is great too. And you’ll finish in one sitting. And yes, with those super knots, these scrap blankets are so warm, they wash over and over well, become softer with each wash and dry so they become everyone’s favorite!
I completely agree! I've literally just finished this beast of a blanket - I always seem to finish scrap blankets as I don't get bored! Most other blankets are destined to become forever WIPs 😀 This blanket will be gifted to a friend of mine so hopefully she will love it too! X
That looks amazing!!! I love this idea!! I'm going to do this!! But, so far I don't have too much extras, so I plan to make a little " mug rug" first and see how that goes... Hooked by Robin hooked a new sub🤩
You can yes! If you aren't precious about the edges (or are happy to fix any wobbliness with a border) then you can go wild! If you prefer to have consistency, then you can mix the weights as long as you keep them the same throughout (if that makes sense!)
That's what I did with bags of scraps someone gave me. I was new and after practicing I dug out all the autumn colors and very light colors. Used 2 strands autumn with one light, switch after few rows with 2 light/one autumn. Made a very nice (even with some newbie mistakes) and warm blanket for my son, who just moved into his first place.
Thank you so much for posting this. I started mine on the weekend from a couch full of yarn I was going to giveaway and absolutely love it! It is one of the best things I've made in a long time - I love it!
Great video. Thank you. How do you handle scraps of different weight yarns? I don't have tons of scrap yarn, but what I have is different weights. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.
Hello Robin! Nice 💡 I was bought some acrylic yarn I will made one big blanket for my cats ( Mia, Maria, Luna, Guido, Sophie, Flor, Hercules, Sanson, Millie, Felix, Asta, Little Bear) 👋🇺🇸👍😍😘🙏😇😷🌷
@@HookedbyRobin Yes each one different personalities. Two moth ago crazy time because my daughter Natalia rescued 4 kittens some of the older's very angry for the kittens but Natalia found home for 3 males. We are kept the female. ( Asta 3 moth old now) 😽
C'est très joli et en plus le point est facile, moi qui cherchait un modèle de couverture pour épuiser mon stock de pelotons de laines je suis bien tombée sur votre vidéo, dommage qu'elle ne soit pas sous titres en Français mais je vais m'en débrouiller en regardant votre vidéo en boucle merci beaucoup pour votre travail 😊
I didn’t look at all of the comments, but I subscribed to your channel and website. I looked through both trying to find how to start this blanket. Have you already posted a video about that?
WONDERFUL IDEA! Could you please tell me the number of CHAINS in your STARTING chain for such a 'massive huge blanket'? :) and did you use ALL category 4 / worsted weight yarns, or did you mix any other weights? also a MIX of assorted fibers OK? or stick to all acrylics?? TYIA
I actually used foundation half doubles for the start of this blanket - I've done a quick count and started with 89 FHDC on the 9mm hook :-) th-cam.com/video/MHo70BNBIzw/w-d-xo.html As for the yarn weights, for this I've used all the same yarn weight (purely as I have the most of it that needs using up!) BUT you can absolutely mix yarn weights and fibres together! No right or wrong way to do it 😀 I've got mainly acrylic with a few different yarns like sequin / sparkly lurex type yarns thrown in for good measure haha!
I was wondering the same thing. Using different weights might end up with smaller or larger half-doubles, I think. Wouldn't that make a difference in the blanket's width at different points?
I’m started to make a blanket using 3 different colours! Only thing I’m struggling with is the yarn tangling like mad! Is there anyway to make this easier? 🩷
Yup getting ready to start my scrap blanket. I'm down to scraps with my yarn so I am going to work on this this week. I need to get out and get yarn for my next scarf, but for now this will keep me busy. Great idea working with three strands.
You can do! If you want to maintain straight edges then I'd recommend keeping the same combination of weights evenly throughout the blanket (so having a 3, 4 & 5 as your 3 strands consistently for the entire blanket) HOWEVER, the beauty of scrap blankets is that it doesn't really matter if they are wonky and crazy! If you aren't bothered by perfection and just want a huge blanket that will keep you warm then you are totally free to do whatever you want and mix up the weights however you want 😀 The edges probably won't be straight and depending on how extreme the thickness are it may wobble in and out like a curvy lady but it'll keep you snug and warm 🥰
Hi Kelly, I didn’t as I’m still(with my 1 million other projects) still working on it.🫣😂 I have this border playlist of my videos though which may help you: th-cam.com/play/PLP0pPGx0kI89mFLK-9nH2qaEvzMJP0rD6.html
I generally eyeball the width I want by lying the chains across my lap 😂 For this blanket I actually used Foundation Half Double Crochet stitches rather than a chains to start th-cam.com/video/MHo70BNBIzw/w-d-xo.html I did 89 of them on my 9mm hook :-)
I have always loved scrap blankets because they are all unique and its the not knowing how it will look once finished,often much nicer than if a pattern had been used!
I’m working with two #4 yarns, and an N hook... The main yarn is Lion Brand Ombré...colorwaybHAPPY, and various colors of LB Ice Cream, Cotton blend, plus some solid colored yarn.. . I’m usurping n HDC stitch. I love it.
Hi, I really like the idea of using 3 strands of yarn, but mine is coming out stiff, like a rug, should I change hook size, using an 8 mm, or change the stitch, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
@@HookedbyRobin Thank you for replying :) I'm using 4 medium yarn, I'll ry a bigger hook, I just bought the 8mm clover one too and it works up nice. Good excuse to buy another one :)
Robin, do you mix worsted weight yarn with fine 🍼 baby sport? Will it make a difference? This is one of my favorite projects; I give them as gifts. The color play is magnificent!
Just bought a bunch of yarn in bags for really cheap ..49 cents a bag lol..now om making one with my yarn and the odd pieces I bought great idea thanks !!
I have seen a lot of stash buster or scrap yarn blankets, but I have never seen anyone else do exactly this... I have made 2 blankets so far exactly like this hook and all, except I use double crochet. I'm currently got 4 going for my kids to each have one. I call them fun funky crazy blankets. I ball all my yarn im not gonna use into small balls and randomly pick a ball when 1 rolls out so they are super funky.
I’ve become hooked on crocheting double stranded baby blankets… I #3 yarn… Two strands makes a very soft, squishy blanket.. You can mix colors, or use one color as a constant… There are lots of options.
I made one a few years ago for a friend.It was with 4 strands of yarn and in S C.HDC is my fav tho and I need to get back to finishing a blanket in that.
Hi I have Moya Celebration balls, it's a south african yarn, it's basically a ball with different weight yarns in one ball, do you think I could make a blanket like this with it?
My first scrap yarn blanket fits over a xl twin size bed and then some. I did 2 strands...always one light color like a white, aran...off white and a color. A million kinds of yarns and the whole thing in a double crochet with an H hook. Took about 6 hours. Was just watching TV and stitching along on a rainy weekend. These are my favorite also!!
Looking for other scrap ideas? I have a playlist full here! th-cam.com/play/PLP0pPGx0kI88Tsv5goQuGpRAD7FgYGZJu.html

@@HookedbyRobin Sounds good to me! Glad I could make you laugh, Robin😊
I absolutely love this idea. You mention it id huge so I was wondering how many chains did you choose for this awesome blanket? Thanks.
Anyone work out how many?

How did it go?😀
Just about every one of the dozens and dozens of afghans I have created in the last 40 years are all double thread, single or double stitch blankets
Great idea!! I was looking at all of my yarn yesterday thinking. What have I done???
LOL! I regularly think _"oh god what have I done??"_ when I see my embarrassingly huge yarn stash 😂

Robin, do you mix worsted weight yarn with fine 🍼 baby sport? Will it make a difference? This is one of my favorite projects; I give them as gifts. The color play is magnificent!
Do all three strands need to be the exact same weight?
