I DID IT!!! I tried this as an experiment. Didn't love the colors but chose the colors I had extra of. I had some trouble with the sizing and making sure i had the correct beginning chain. I'll have to get a better handle on it before I do another one. But all in all I'm pretty proud of myself for getting it done. And now that it's done, I don't hate the colors. Yay!!!
Same here! My mom had this blanket (gifted by her best friend), on our family room couch for ages. Everyone want to have this blanket around them when settling in to watch tv. Warm and cozy!
June 30 2024: Love the explaination of the filet stitch and ending the row to have a smooth edge. This looks so complicated, but you have shown how it is doable. You are so right when measuring strains and how they grow! Wow that weaving really secures the tassels also. Side note I have never seen a “yarn bobbin”. This makes it so easy with picking colors. Thank you for the pointers and your “mistakes” that gives us notice of what may happen. Just came across your channel and needed a blanket for my teen grandson. This one is perfect. Thank you for posting this gorgeous blanket.
Very beautiful and creative blanket. I am now inspired to make it for myself too. I am going to make it for myself. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video! ❤
This brought me happy memories. In the early 80s one of my grandmothers crocheted blankets like this for all her grandchildren, and at least some of the older great-grands. I still have mine. ❤
My mother is the one in my family who thinks she has dibs on everything I make! 😂. Even though she has quite a few of my creations already! At least they know how to make us feel good and that our creations are wanted! 🥰
@@LeoandTaurusCreations That's right! My granddaughter has several things I've made & she always lights up when I hand her something new. Makes my heart warm. ❤️
I really like this. Pattern that you shared with us. I'm going to make it. I am using Gray black and darker Gray. I hadn't thought of another 3 colors because the lady wants Gray and black so we'll see. I'll just enter switch the colors and I'm sure it will come out as a hopefully. It'll come out as beautiful as yours. Thank you so much again for sharing this. I really love it and I'll try to take a picture and share it with you when I'm done. Thanks again, take care and be safe. Make sure hope that's your and your family! I hope you continue to any other beautiful patterns that you have keep up the great work!!,🎉😊
Just finished my blanket part. About to put my strands in vertically. I can't wait to see the finished product. Thank you for this gorgeous crochet. I love the way you go into detail about EVERYTHING. You're awesome
@@KnottingHookCrochet another thing. I'm just starting out. How did you change your colors? I just knotted mine together and now im having to go through and sew them in to hide them.
Beautiful! Both the blanket and the video! I understood you perfectly! Every time my mom comes to visit she brings whatever project she's currently working on and talks me through her patterns... then I pull out whatever project I'm working on and talk her through my patterns! Love it all! Great job!
This is a absolutely gorgeous!!! I did this for a scarf along time ago, but never thought to do it with a blanket!!! Instead of cutting the 3 strands of yarn, I made a chain the length that I needed and weaved the chain as you did. Thanks to you…now I will do this as a blanket. I just recently brought some of this yarn as it was on sale…was going to make a cardigan. I couldn’t find you email…was going to send you a picture of the scarf. Thanks again for sharing this gorgeous masterpiece!!! Be safe and have a blessed evening…new sub and now binge watching your channel. Recommending to my other crochet friends on utube!!!
Sandra, did you do the chain for weaving thru using 3 strands so it was "chunky" enough? I thought about doing a SC chainless foundation long enough, & thick enough to weave thru the gaps :)
@@MrsGump GM…thanks for your question. I just did the normal chain used to begin a crochet project (1 strand 4 weight). It looks like a braid giving you texture. If you like…provide me with your email…I can send you a picture of my scarf.
Do you find that the woven yarn is snagging? I’d love to make these for a charity I work with as it’s gorgeous but they can’t take anything with holes (like a traditional granny square) or loose work that could snag. What do you think
@@jennifer14256 I saw in my feed that someone chained the weaving part that would not snag as much. I’m gonna have to make another one. I even know where the pattern is.😂
This is very nice and beautiful. Years ago I made a hand bag this way, but used a small hook. Instead of weaving in strands of yarn, I made long chains which got woven in. It turned out very nice.
I was thinking the same thing. Also why not just crochet through the grid so its attached to the blanket. I know that would make it two different sides, but might be pretty that way.
@@SierraSadie1 No idea, sorry. My mother made it all the time, it was her go-to blanket. Everyone she ever met probably got one 😊 Our introduction to crocheting was being allowed to weave the yarn strands with a safety pin and make the fringe. Then she could start one and we could continue the mesh until we could make the whole thing.... but it never did have a name that I knew of. She did like the Magic Crochet magazines, and made from them. But I'm not sure if she got it from there.
This is gorgeous! Thank you! It reminds me of the planned pooling blankets but without all the math and fuss. I like your version way, way better. I have to try this! Thanks again!
Hello from South Africa. Your blanket is stunning! I've been wanting to buy some throws for my couch and chairs, but I'm rather going to make your blanket instead. Dis verby mooi!
This is such a happy little plaid! Thank you for sharing! I made a baby one years ago but lost the pattern! Thanks again! Also your instructions and demo are very clear and easy to follow!
So excited to have found this and started with my six yarn color choices. What a well made video! Thank you for sharing your pattern and expertise to make this beautiful blanket!!
Robin!! I’m self taught and only getting a little better every project i make, and so when i saw this blanket, i really liked it. I only clicked on it because of your saying it’s ez. I decided to sit thru and watch ur video while reading the written directions along with the video. Omygosh!!! 😮 I can actually do this!! I’m excited to try after i finish my current wip (a king sized blanket for a state trooper rookie friend of ours). Thank you so much for this video and directions. I’m excited to give it some go!! ❤
You’re very welcome. You can do so many different patterns with the plaid, depending on how many rows of each color and how many colors it’s such a quick and easy blanket to make and the end results is gorgeous
I'm one of 'those' people who start planning holiday gifts early, and I think several special people may be getting color variations of this blanket for Christmas. It is easily one of the most stunning I've seen! Simply beautiful, thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Super pretty, I just found this video by mistake....I just bought this exact pattern from an etsy seller LAST NIGHT!!! how fortunate to find the helpful video!!!! Thank you so much!!❤
STUNNING!!!!!!! Cheers from NZ. Must do. I am a spinner, dyer, now crochet learner thanks to this post. My head was spinning at the mosaic crochet posts, but this takes the cake hands down. Xxp
I have got to make this and I have never made a blanket before. This is stunning and it does look like it was so hard to do. I promised myself that I would go out of my comfort zone (hats) and make a bunch of new things (wearables, blankets), so this is a must do for me. I can't wait to try it!
Beautiful! Please ignore those who are negative it only means you are doing something right. So many creators on TH-cam have this problem unfortunately and it ends up hurting the generous creator and their humble audience..you can also turn comments off. Thats not really ideal but possible. Thank you for sharing the process and technique..and of course your time videoing..just remember anything good is always going to attract some negative person..don't let them steal your sparkle!❤

I can't figure out how to add the photo....so you'll all just have to take my word for it!!!
@@misspamyla😂❤
AN UPDATE: I love this technique so much. I have made four blankets so quickly. Thank you again for posting this. It has literally changed my life!!!
My mom made a couple blankets like this in the 80's with acrylic yarn. They stayed on the couch forever and I still have and use one of them!
Same here! My mom had this blanket (gifted by her best friend), on our family room couch for ages. Everyone want to have this blanket around them when settling in to watch tv. Warm and cozy!
The My Girl Blanket. "Sunshine on a cloudy day...."
Perfect!!
You read my mind!

Wonderful!
Yes, This blanket will be mine ❤ and I immediately thought of “Sunrise & Sunset” Thank you for sharing this beautiful work!
You are so welcome!
My daughter always wants what I'm crocheting. 😁 She ends up with a lot of it. ❤️
Hopefully mummy will get to keep a special project for herself one day ❤🙂
😂😂😂 mine too!
Yep! Mine too! She sees what I'm making for someone else and she's like "ooooh, I want one!"

This is lovely. I made one of these for a wedding gift years ago. Thanks for the reminder. I wish I had a picture.
I've never crochet before, so hoping that I can make this blanket. I'm going to make a small crib sized for my grand daughter. Wish me luck! LOL
"Rainy sunny day" like what happens here in Texas all the time🎉

"Rain or Shine" - This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I love it!! I can't wait to try it!! Thank you!!
You're right, that is a beautiful blanket!!! I love it. It reminds me of butterscotch candy because of the color. Thank you, it is lovely.
Thank you! 😊
So happy to have found your channel ❤🥰
Me too!!
I was thinking at the beginning this was some sort of planned pooling with a variegated yarn. Love the colours and the technique. Beautiful Afghan. 😊
Right?? I'm loving this.
It looks like Summer Storm to me. I love this pattern, thank you for sharing it.
I made a throw like this in the early 2000s. It was called Plaid Winner. I have been looking for a pattern since then.THANK YOU!
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
