So my husband came home and saw the blanket on the computer screen and said with a big smile “You’re making me a blanket!” Uuhhhh...... yes of course dear......
That's fab Chris, My uncle Jimmy did crochet most of his life he and my mother were taught by their mother and their auntie. He made blankets in this stitch for all his friends, they both would have loved all the now yarns we have today.
I'm actually doing a baby blanket using the waffle stitch..although i had done 6 rows i took it out as i thought it didn't look right with a 5 mm hook so was going to start it with a 4mm tomorrow..but now i think I'm going to use this stitch..still using the 4mm..the baby is a boy so it'll be his first 'man blankie' 😆🇬🇧💖👍
You are fantastic! I am a man and a beginner and I find your instructions so clear and easy to follow! I am making this blanket and I love it! Thank you!!
Just a suggestion: If a man feels funny about having a blanket made for him, it can always be called a "Car Blanket" and stored in the boot or back seat etc, for those really long trips or on cold days for passengers and/or caravan'ing.
Perfect timing! My husband's birthday is coming up, and, of course, so is Christmas. I've been hunting around for the perfect stitch for a blanket in his team's main color. This is awesome. Thank you.
I was making my husband a moss stitch blanket and realized my toes poked through when I ready to make the border….I was so upset about frogging it all but this tutorial inspired me again! ❤️ thank you!!!
I made this after watching your video but I made it for myself and I’m a woman. I used a bulky that had a fuzzy look. I did it in odd white, dusty pink, and a deep rose. It’s soooo pretty and looks great on my off white quilt in the bedroom. Love it and so easy
I am going to make my son in law a blanket with this stitch. I have used this stitch making slippers. Thank you for the inspiration. It is true, there are not many manly stitches.
You are absolutely adorable. 🥺 I’ve been looking for a pick me up project that doesn’t require much thinking to help cheer me up and allow me to escape for a bit. I’ve been crocheting for years now, but sometimes having a simpler pattern/project sometimes is just…lovely. Needed. And coincidentally, Ive recently purchased a few large skeins (on super sale!!) that would make a lovely “man blanket”. I started to make my fiancé a cardigan with them and even though it was my own pattern that I was just kind of swingin’, it still felt exhausting. Then I came across this and it made me so happy. It’s perfect. Thank you 🤍
Thank you so much, Mel. Yes I agree sometimes simple and easy is a must, something we don't have to think about too much and can just crochet. I did this in variegated very bright red heart stripes for my Neace and it came out fab
I love what you made here. I have been struggling trying to find a stitch that looked masculine yet visually interesting and not boring… It was proving difficult and trying to pick a colour and texture of yarn, I was waffling back-and-forth on what to select. I just watch this video and I love everything you did from the type of yarn to the stitch and the color. I’m going to make this for my newly discovered brother I found through an ancestral dna website. Thank you! This was a very well done video you are quite easy to follow
Most of my throws go to my husband. Even the really ugly ones. He loves them all. I’m just a beginner I’ve been at this for a year or so now. I’ve made all my kids and grand kids a throw. I’m starting over on my list. I’m trying to learn new stitches. I find this very relaxing but a bit frustrating too.
This is GORGEOUS ! I have got to try this! My hubs is a fisherman and this would make a great blanket to keep him warm offshore and the envy of everyone and I will probably have to make oodles more. Wowza! I love it so much! Thank you for doing this !!!
I was going to suggest selling them to the jealous lot of them. I sell face balm and beard oil to my husband’s work crew, they work out in the biting cold as well.
Hi, I'm making about a 12" sample of this stitch and love it. I showed it to my husband and he really likes it - which he usually thinks what I make looks like something my mom would have made :D. So I will be buying yarn (in the US) to make a "Man Blanket" for either our living room or our enclosed porch room. Thanks for creating and sharing this stitch.
It's an old stitch and has quite a few names, rice stitch, seed stitch long rice stitch, tight weave, mini basket weave, and a few others depending where and which country you live in. Man blanket just a bit of fun,
Thank you so much for this! I have made two gorgeous 'man blankets', one for my sister and one for myself, and they are both well loved! By the way, I didn't use dark yarn only. This pattern looks great in bright stripes as well!
Hi 👋 Alison. I've already made a blanket for my 10 year old grandson using this tutorial. This stitch is crazy easy and works up beautifully. It's really warm too. Now I'm back to make one for myself. LoL. Happy 😁 New Year 🎉🥳
Love the pattern and your accent. My grandparents emigrated to the US back in the 1920’s. I loved them so much and miss them incredibly. Thank you for this pattern.
You have made very clear and easy to follow video. I’ve been looking for a patter to make a lap blanket for a male friend. I’ll be making this one and most likely a scarf too. Thank you so very much.
Loved pattern so much i made 3! One for each of my son's xmas, i later told them i would be able to keep them warm and cuddle them from afar when i'm no longer on this little rock we call home, they absaloutley loved them Thank you so much for sharing ❤
I love this! It's what I've been looking for 😉 I have made afghans for my grandson in the zigzag/ripple and shells and a few other designs. But he wants one with no "holes". Yay! Thank you for sharing.
I have made a beautiful blanket for my bed using this pattern. I love watching your tutorials, you are an excellent teacher. I want to thank you! And I wish I could show you my work😊
Miss Russell, I was looking for a new/different stitch for some upcoming projects and saw your video. My Grandmother was English (and my Grandfather was a Scotsman), and taught me to crochet. She did this stitch often for lap blankets and scarves, as well as table runners and placemats. It is a very versatile stitch and can be used with different weight yarn and different size hooks. She called it the "front and back" stitch. It is quick and easy and turns out very nicely. Along with the choice of stitch, she said colour was equally important when crocheting for a man. You explain the stitch very well. Your choice of yarns is wonderful. I look forward to watching your other videos. Thank you!
Hello, Allison, from the USA!!!! Just wanted to say "Hello!" and thank you for this pattern !! I have looked for six years --no kidding--for a blanket pattern to make for my husband!! And, finally!! There's Allison and her awesome patterns!! I have NEVER immediately started a project after watching a video or looking at a post---until yesterday. Now, I'm crocheting a lovely blanket!! 💙💚💛💜🌻🌼🌻🌼🌷🌹🌷🌹. Thanks again, Allison!! I'm a new fan!! Can't wait to try more of your patterns!! Stay safe and well and happy!! 🌈🍀🌺🌸
Hello again, Alison! I was thinking about the Post Stitches used in the Man Blanket, and realized, with a giggle, that if the Front & Back Post Stitches weren't staggered, the blanket would be crocheted ribbing!! Lol lol. It would be very pretty with its texture, but, boy would it be stretchy!! Lol lol Thoroughly enjoying creating the Man Blanket! Will probably make a scarf for myself using the same stitch pattern!! Thanks again!! Have a great week!! 🤓😊
Thank you so much for not going too fast. I am a beginner and I found this great to follow. I have 2 boys and will try something for them using this stitch 👍🏽
Alison you are Amazzzzzing !!!! 😘😘 a Man Blanket yayyyy ! I am a total newby to crochet practicing and practicing getting frustrated with the tension ( knitting a doddle ) then , Bingo , I'm making a Man Blanket, it's not perfect but it's good enough for me and hubby I'm more than chuffed ,I did get carried away with the chain ummmm it's going to be big and snuggley ,😍 many thanks 💕
All day I have been searching the web for a pattern exactly like this for my roommates husband as a gift I wanted to make for him.We all share a house ,my SO,the two of them and the other brother who is a few years younger ..but we are all over 40ish and the they're all angels! But they both guys are affected with a hereditary syndrome that affects muscle/bone functions They eat well and have great positivity but they are SO VERY thin and some think they have anorexia but don't ..And the wife,little bitty Marie,is 79 pounds and also has her battle going with Osteoporosis which they truly amaze me with their upbeat attitudes! Long story short here..they have to keep the house like a steambath all day because they stay cold through no fault of their own .and it's Winter and NOT often above 65-70 in early Feb here in W.Tx..SOO thank you!!!! This will be a perfect gift and the stitch is perfect too!
Thank you for this easy crochet blanket. Im crocheting this blanket right now for my brother in law. I like this because you don't have to count the chains.California
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I am a visual learner and it helps so much to see this done in real life instead of just following instructions. I make blankets for a Christian ministry that sends blankets to terminally I'll patients. I am always looking for a pattern that will look good for a man, like you said they aren't really keen on fancy patterns. I'm from Bristol, VA and I love your accent! You're very easy to follow so I have subscribed in order to see more of what you have to I offer. God bless you in all you do, have a blessed day!😊💖
Thankyou for this fantastic tutorial. With 5 sons, grandpa, husband and nephews I have not one female to crochet for.. at last I can make them something manly
I just love your Scottish accent. You are definitely right about not having more “Man Blankets” patterns. I mean, everyone has at least one man in their lives that deserves a beautiful, or shall I say handsome, blanket. This blanket is very easy to do & I love the way it’s turning out for me. It’s for my son for a Christmas gift.
I'm so happy you did this now I can make for my husband this blanket. He always play games when he's off at weekends and this blanket will be perfect. Thank you so much ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🦴🦴
Clever stitch. I love the results. I think it’s a very good stitch for anything for a man or a boy with appropriate colors. Most of the stitches I’ve use have been too pretty for a man/boy project.
I love this stitch... there’s this tweed yarn I have been looking at buying and this blanket pattern provides the perfect texture - thanks from South Africa
Such a great idea - a man blanket :) I will be ordering my wool tomorrow so I can make a scarf for my Son! And your video is lovely and clear on the black background too! Thank you Alison x Love Angela, xx
Amen to the man blanket! I'm making blankets for Christmas for my two adult sons and other than cabled, everything tends to be feminine. Thank you for posting this.

This is a Double crochet if you in in the USA or another country. There is NO stitch count.
I could sit and listen to you talk for hours! I love your accent! Where are you from?
How many.chains did you do for this blanket? I’m looking to do about the same size
How many chains did you do?
@@offthehookwithnia it's a Scottish accent
@@delanajones9675 Your chain length can be as long as you want it. There is NO stitch count
So my husband came home and saw the blanket on the computer screen and said with a big smile “You’re making me a blanket!” Uuhhhh...... yes of course dear......
so did my son hahahah
I am a man and I am in fact making a blanket using this stitch.
That's fab Chris, My uncle Jimmy did crochet most of his life he and my mother were taught by their mother and their auntie. He made blankets in this stitch for all his friends, they both would have loved all the now yarns we have today.
Love this
Good for you! Hook on! Hope your blanket turns out nice and warm!
Good for you.
@@impunitythebagpuss Do you know what weight this yarn is that she’s using?
finally a blanket my toes won't stick through!!!
My son said the same
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
My son always wondered how he was supposed to keep warm with holes in the blanket. 😂
Brilliant tutorial - many thanks!! I’m a guy down here in Wales, I crochet and am definitely making this!!
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you, guys, for posting! I have 2 sons (5 and 8 years old), and I am hoping that me teaching them crochet helps them with their ADHD/focusing.
I'm actually doing a baby blanket using the waffle stitch..although i had done 6 rows i took it out as i thought it didn't look right with a 5 mm hook so was going to start it with a 4mm tomorrow..but now i think I'm going to use this stitch..still using the 4mm..the baby is a boy so it'll be his first 'man blankie' 😆🇬🇧💖👍
great idea Xxx
Love it!
You are fantastic! I am a man and a beginner and I find your instructions so clear and easy to follow! I am making this blanket and I love it! Thank you!!
I had forgotten about this blanket. I was sear hing for something different to do and came across this again. Thanks Alison
Just a suggestion: If a man feels funny about having a blanket made for him, it can always be called a "Car Blanket" and stored in the boot or back seat etc, for those really long trips or on cold days for passengers and/or caravan'ing.
Great idea, Margaret
Awesome
I’ve made blankets for all the men in my family, I call them a Hug Rug, they love it, they wrap up in it when thy want to relax
great name for it
I'm confused as to why someone would feel funny about having a blanket made for them. Every person I know, male and female, use blankets.
It looks like a basket weave. This is just what my husband needs for theses cold winter’s nights watching tv.
basket weave is done with the same stitches, Hazel. I use this a lot i did my back to front blanket in this stitch too.
Perfect timing! My husband's birthday is coming up, and, of course, so is Christmas. I've been hunting around for the perfect stitch for a blanket in his team's main color. This is awesome. Thank you.
I’ve made lots of afghans using this stitch-crocheting one now. It’s one of my top favorite patterns!
Wonderful! I love it its a great texture too I have made lots with this stitch.
I’m itching to try one. Yarn pile sorted ....
Beautiful! All the men will be happy now, Alison! ♥️
I made this blanket for my 39-year-old son out of camouflage yarn and he absolutely loved it!
Love to know the name of the yarn as I'd live to make one for a friend who is into survival camping.
I was making my husband a moss stitch blanket and realized my toes poked through when I ready to make the border….I was so upset about frogging it all but this tutorial inspired me again! ❤️ thank you!!!
I like it. This stich will look good in almost any yarn.
Yes it will
This makes a very nice looking blanket. It would also be a great pattern for a rug! Thanks for this tutorial.
You are so welcome, Mellody, I have t-shirt yarn and you just gave me an idea Xxxx
I have been wanting to try making a rug, this would be a nice bathroom piece... is t-shirt yarn the best choice for that? TIA
I made this after watching your video but I made it for myself and I’m a woman. I used a bulky that had a fuzzy look. I did it in odd white, dusty pink, and a deep rose. It’s soooo pretty and looks great on my off white quilt in the bedroom. Love it and so easy
This is a beautiful stitch. I may need to try this and make my hubby a scarf with this stitch. Thank you for sharing it with us.
You are so welcome!
I'm glad I found this video. Was undecided on what stitch to use for a blanket.
I could listen your voice all evening.
Thank you Sunny Xxx
I am going to make my son in law a blanket with this stitch. I have used this stitch making slippers. Thank you for the inspiration. It is true, there are not many manly stitches.

I have looked TH-cam over trying to find some manly ideas to crochet for the men in my life.
Thank you for posting this is 💗
the lumpy bumpy green one i posted a few days ago will be great for your man my son asked for one in a darker green.
Most of my throws go to my husband. Even the really ugly ones. He loves them all. I’m just a beginner I’ve been at this for a year or so now. I’ve made all my kids and grand kids a throw.

The wool colors are wonderful for a man!
I like this stitch I’m gonna try to make a blanket
Yes
This is GORGEOUS ! I have got to try this! My hubs is a fisherman and this would make a great blanket to keep him warm offshore and the envy of everyone and I will probably have to make oodles more. Wowza! I love it so much! Thank you for doing this !!!
Sounds great! they sell well to under man blanket if you want to make some pocket money.
I was going to suggest selling them to the jealous lot of them. I sell face balm and beard oil to my husband’s work crew, they work out in the biting cold as well.

Love that stitch. I was wondering what stitch I was going to use for my husband's blanket and that one is perfect. Thank you!!
I love the way it looks and that I do not have to count as I am a beginner.
I've been crocheting for years, but hate when I have to count stitches! Lol ! This will be perfect!

@@michelenickle6864 yep, a guy thing lol. My grandson says he needs no holes so it will be warmer. 🤷 Teens. Ugh 🙄
I'm always looking for "manly" blankets/stitches! Thank you!!!

Handsome that's the word I was looking for when i did this video hahaha
I Love you accent!!!!

My son loves the huge, heavy blanket I made for him with this stitch, in blues and grays. :)
I'm making a very pale lemon one for a friend the stitch is fab in any yarn.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! My new favourite stitch!
Indeed, THANK YOU!! It's a beautiful design that's perfect with the color you have chosen. Very masculine 💝

Thoroughly enjoying creating the Man Blanket! Will probably make a scarf for myself using the same stitch pattern!! Thanks again!! Have a great week!! 🤓😊
That's correct Cheryl. if you don't stagger them it will be ribbed.
Thank you so much for not going too fast. I am a beginner and I found this great to follow. I have 2 boys and will try something for them using this stitch 👍🏽

A proper winter blanket! That would look lovely in pretty much any colour as well 😍
I think so too!

Clever stitch. I love the results. I think it’s a very good stitch for anything for a man or a boy with appropriate colors. Most of the stitches I’ve use have been too pretty for a man/boy project.
I totally agree!
Thank you for the man blanket, I wanted to make a blanket for the homeless shelter for a man!
I love this stitch... there’s this tweed yarn I have been looking at buying and this blanket pattern provides the perfect texture - thanks from South Africa
I 💗 this. But it's a bit blurry. Going to try it though.
I was just looking for a man blanket so i willgive this pattern a try .thank you for sharing

I love the colours you used and the pattern i will try to use it by making a cardigan for myself, thank you so much for it 😍 😊
Tina F: I was thinking the same thing. It will be my first cardigan.
You could use your swatch as a pocket for a remote on the man blanket 🙂
This would make a toasty warm sweater....
GREAT IDEA thanks I never thought of that.
