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!
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!!!
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!❤
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.
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. ❤
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!
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.😂
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!!
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.
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!
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!
@@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.
Thank You 🥰💐 Your blanket is beautiful! I’m new to crocheting and your demonstration along with your math is really encouraging for me to try as I struggle with the math side of things 🤨 Thanks again.
It’s unfortunate that Premiere doesn’t offer this yarn anymore. I loved working with the color schemes and the yarn performs well with repeated washing.
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.
This really is a very lovely blanket. I wonder if a line of sewing at each end might just keep those strands secure? (Have you ever done that? I haven’t, but I also have never woven strands through an entire afghan before. I’d be afraid of them being pulled, say, by a hair clip or piece of jewelry or something. I’d think as long as you use thread the same color as the chain row at each end, it wouldn’t be noticeable at all. Just wondering out loud). Thanks for the demonstration of the filet stitch, I’m not familiar with that one because I usually only do zig-zag afghans or something with a minimal-holes stitch. 😊
Interesting, I've been using the linen or moss stitch and it's essentially the same except it's a single crochet and chain stitch. Nice to see what this looks like finished. ❤
I love it❤! For some reason, El Dorado came to mind. Then I looked up the meaning & now I know why! People also ask What does El Dorado mean? gilded one The Spaniards called the city ruled by this flamboyant monarch "El Dorado," Spanish for “gilded one,” and the story of the gold-covered king eventually grew into a legend of a whole country paved with gold. These days, “El Dorado” can also used generically for any place of vast riches, abundance, or opportunity.
I have hated the color grey since I was in the Navy. lol. But, I do love this blanket. I would not normally like these colors, but somehow it works beautifully. Thx for the video. Also, I just made a filet type shawl and was thinking of weaving in another color to fill the filet areas bc they are a little bigger due to my not being able to find the right size hook when I started. I love the weaving part and will probably do that with my shawl. Then I can start a blanket like this one. Thx again for the lovely and informative video. Glad I found ur channel.
This is one the most gorgeous blanket I ever saw it ! You are so talented and a wonderful crochet Teacher ! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous work and crochet skills with all of us, we are blessed by it. ! I would called the " sundown on a beach blanket " because it reminds me of a beautiful end of the day in a beach and the starting of the night together and the beautiful blending of these colors on the horizon ! Love vit ! 😊💗
I've seen thuis before, called a campfire blanket, but that was from it's intended use. That video didn't explain as well as you, though, so I am happy I found you! I understand what to do much better now. Thank you!!
It's really fantabulous... That's all that can be said about this blanket...I do crochet as a hobby but never came across something...something so beautiful yet so simple.
Oh my goodness!! I love this!! I have never made a blanket before, so I think I should maybe adapt this for a shawl or scarf as a first try at a large scale project. But oml it's so pretty!!
Thank you SO very much for sharing this. My mom was gifted this blanket by her best friend ages ago. As a child, it was always the family favorite in our family room ! My mom passed away this past December, and when I saw this video... I immediately thought of her! I am moving next week. After I get settled, I'm definitely making this to be a part of my new home! I need to replay this video, since I didn't catch the size of your blanket. I just want the size of a throw - and I got confused when you spoke about adjusting the stitch count for custom sizing! It's very possible I just need another cup of coffee!! 😂 Just wanted to say thanks - I'm going to be able to make a memory blanket to enjoy for years to come! 😘
Watching this video just reminded me that I made this afghan years ago, but have no idea where I stored it. All I remember from it was the weaving was difficult because my space wasnt large enough to hold the blanket flat. Love the colors you chose ❤

The My Girl Blanket. "Sunshine on a cloudy day...."
Perfect!!
You read my mind!
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!
"Rainy sunny day" like what happens here in Texas all the time🎉

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!!!
I can't figure out how to add the photo....so you'll all just have to take my word for it!!!
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!"
Love the “plaid” effect! And the colors…stunning!!!
Thank you so much!

@@KnottingHookCrochet yes along with the other vermin like cicadas..always making noise!!! Lol
@KnottingHookCrochet oh by the way, not sure if you came up with a name for the blanky but I'll cast my vote on "Silver Lining"

I like the name Summer Rain. It is beautiful.
"Rain or Shine" - This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! I love it!! I can't wait to try it!! Thank you!!
These work up so quickly and easily! I made one for my late (disabled) husband as a lapghan for his wheelchair rides.He loved it!
Oh, my. You certainly gave patience. Gorgeous blanket. Glad I could admire. I won't make one as I'm not a fan of fringe.
Wow. It's gorgeous
Thank you! 😊
Wow! That is gorgeous! Love the color choices
