Well I agree with all the lovely comments. You are a wonderful teacher & I am understanding this double crochet now. I’m 76 & have just started to crochet as I too are quite house bound with very bad Fibromyalgia & arthritis. My other half passed 13 years ago so I live alone now with my little Yorkie. A friend comes in to exercise her but she is my little shadow & loves to cuddle up. She snuggles into my back & shoulder but it doesn’t stop me crocheting or trying to.
I'm an "intermediate" crocheter, but I don't do it for a while and need a brush-up. This is perfect to get me back into crocheting with some tips I did not know before and will make my projects look better. She does a very nice job of explaining and showing exactly what to do. Watch this if you already know how to crochet, but are not an expert, and also watch if you are a beginner.
As simple as it is, this is one afghan a person could reach for every time to get warm, with such a soft texture and rich color. Nice patient tutorial, thank you!
I love d/c, because it's so easy for my MS brain to remember and it's easier on my MS/arthritic hands. ;) I learned to crochet from my gramma, when I was about 13, but could not remember as an adult. So about 3 years ago, friends suggested I look up how to crochet videos here on TH-cam. I did, and have come a long way. Once I got the hang of it, I looked up videos on how to change colors and have done so in afghans and scarves. ;) I am so grateful for people like you who take the time to make videos like this! I won't drive anymore, (due to the MS and seizures, so I don't have a car), and my friends all work (of course) and many are busy with family, so I am home alone a lot. So crocheting has literally helped keep me from going bonkers! ;)
AmazedbyHisgrace1 Hi, I'm bedridden due to "Failed low back surgery syndrome", and am home all the time as well. Except for once every three months, when I have to "go" to hospital to have my morphine pump implant refilled. I feel very lonely too at times, and am also beginning to pick up crocheting again. Itt's hard for me as well, because it's so painfull after a while, because my arm muscles don't work properly anymore either (I have a neck implant as well). I would like to learn how to knit again (used to be able to, but that was when I was in my twenties), but am hesitant, because the knitting needles might not be as handy to work with in a bed as opposed to a crochet hook. I don't know if you will get this answer to your comment, but I hope you do, you are always welcome on my FB, just maybe, if you're interested that is, send me a PM first, so that I know who you are, since I don't know your username on FB. Hope to "hear" from you soon. Take care and God Bless !
Nadia Verbeeck...I am so sorry! I have been homebound at times, but am usually able to get out when I need (or want), to. I will pray for you tonight. God bless!
Keeping you and Nadia Verbeeck in prayer for healing and relief from pain. I too learned crochet from my beloved granny! Her pieces were coveted by young and old alike. I too put down this lovely hobby for many years...with the wonderful news that I am a soon to be "glamma" myself I've turned to youtube for crochet refresher and find these videos amazing and very helpful! I wish you and Nadia Verbeeck great success with your crochet projects.
Hahaha. That was me when I first tried. I ended up taking it apart two times because it started getting wider as I was going along. Then attempt two I started losing width. Lol. It took me two weeks to do a 10x10 square.
@@lisabrattoli4283 making mistakes is how we learn.I'm 62 and just learning to crochet. First time I tried, but quit, years ago, I made a baby bootie,,,,I was impressed beyond belief. Only problem was that I didn't know exactly what I was doing so I could never make the second one the same size!! I think I'll attempt that next, now that I have an idea of what to do LOLOL
TobyMcfarland I’m still trying. This blanket is turning out ok. But when she says using thicker yarn makes the project fly by is kinda being positive. Lol. I’ve been working on my blanket and it’s been about three months now and I’m still on the same blanket. I must’ve made it way too big because so far I’ve used about 10 bundles of yarn and it’s maybe 1/3 of the way done. I just bought six more bundles of yarn, Michaels was having a nice sale. It looks nice but will be huge! Lol. Maybe one bootie for when the baby is one age and another bootie for when the baby is older? 😂
That's EXACTLY How I Crochet ALL MY Blankets!!! My Gramma Taught Me How To Crochet When I Was About 13. I've Made MANY MANY Double Crochet Blankets!!!!
Wow, you make it look so easy! I only started crocheting today so I'm not very good at all but can't wait to improve my skills and start on blankets and other fun projects!
I taught myself to crochet watching videos on YT. What helped me learn faster was doing a big project. I decided to make a maxi cardigan sweater and I noticed as I was almost finished with the back panel how well I was doing and how loose some rows were at the bottom 😅 so I unraveled the whole thing and started all over. Now it looks evenly nice and neat! Repetition was key for me.
Its so beautifully explained.. Ur fingers move magically.. Loved it a lot.. To watch, to hear n even to do... And so started qith a baby blanket.. Thank u mam
I've seen a lot of videos when I was trying to learn, and none of them made sense. I finally found some bulky yarn and practiced with that and it clicked. (I need glasses so the bulky yarn made it easier). I wish I would have came across your video a long time ago. You made it sooooo simple for me, and I'm tired of making scarfs lol. So now I'm ready to venture into blankets.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried this blanket I’ve started and restarted so many times.... your tips are great. I just think I need more practice lol
I'm using a thinner velvet yarn, and I had to restart 4 times because the yarn is tricky to work with, but I finally got it going and it looks and feels great! It will take me a few days to finish it since the yarn is smaller, but I'm looking forward to the final blanket. 😊
@@DearestMamacita I fixed it by pulling it apart and starting over. There are videos that address curling issues. They helped me, but unfortunately it's been a very long time since I did it so I can't remember enough advice to give you here.
You, Miss, have just earned a new subscriber. It is so easy to follow your instructions. I have learned how to crochet from my grandmother about 1,000 years ago and haven't done it in almost a year. I needed a refresher course and since TH-cam is so much more than music, I came across your channel in a search. Wonderful teacher!! Thanks and Happy New Year!
Thank you for the easy to follow explanation!! My mom showed me how to do this more than 40 years ago and I haven't done it since then... Wanted to try my hand at this but couldn't remember! Thanks!!
Finally a crochet video that is easy to follow! Your voice is so soothing! Teaching myself to crochet at 40, and I wish I would have learned from my late grandma. Making my very first baby blanket for our first grandchild due in October. Thank you very much!!!! 💕😊
I just have to comment on here and say thank you for this tutorial!! I am 23 years old and recently became legally blind and decided to take up crocheting. This is the best video that has helped me out the most.❤
If you want to learn crochet.... this is the way. Slow and steady. You reap the benefits of accomplishment and you feel relaxed. Thx so much for sharing and for doing it in a way I just love. Happy crochet 🧶 xxxx Carmenia
I'm going to make this! As a Yankees fan I'm going to make it in a navy blue and then figure out a way to crochet the logo. Thank you so much! (Also I have family in West Virginia and you sound like my cousin Karen. You also reminded me of her. You both have a sweet personality!)
I remember many years back, my Nana taught me this very same simple stitch! I remember I had made a couple scarves and an Afghan. I forgot how to do this stitch being it was many years ago and have not crocheted in a while. I came here on TH-cam to search a simple stitch for crocheting and this video popped up!!. I want to get back into crocheting again and so glad I found this video!! Thank you for refreshing my memory!! :)
Thank you for such a lovely presentation of your beautiful blanket. I never crocheted before, and just finished a queen sized bed "Popcorn Stitch" blanket, using 4 colors. I was looking for another type of look for my second project.....THIS is the one I will use with my 3 color....Frosted Green, Lilac, and Aran White, from Red Heart Company....using an "I" hook. Thank you again, The edges don't look like they'd need finishing, because you finish, as you go. Awesome!
you are a lifesaver thank you I'm new at croqueting and I was having problems I was watching your videos they helped thank you so much !!! hope we can be friends God Bless You 🌺
Hi there, so I finished my bracket but I’m a beginner and want to add a border. Can you do a video on how to do that on this blanket? Thank you so much. Much appreciated. Xx
Okay, so I'm following your instructions and for some reason my Afghan is growing longer and longer and is now nearly twice the length of my bed! Lol! So where am I messing up other than binge watching House of Cards? 🙃
Hi! I want to try making this afghan but I’m not that proficient. I will be using chunky chenille yarn and a size 9mm hook. Any way you can tell me how many chains to start with to have a finished 55” x 95” blanket?
Thank you! I made one of these for my mom, but did not do the single-crochet row. I like that look. Also, halfway through, for some unknown reason, I did not crochet in the chain between rows. This resulted in it tapering in width. It was just a throw for her legs, but she did not like it. Now I know how to do it right! Again, thank you! Oh! Do you do the single crochet on the last row?
I am looking for a good pattern or video on how to crochet skate toe guards, I found a few videos on youtube but I can't see the video it is too blurred on my computer I am a beginner I need all the help I can get PLEASE HELP!!
How long should I crotchet the single row prior to starting the second row? It's a baby blanket and I just want to make sure I have a decent length. Thanks! I'm a beginner and still figuring out the ropes.
Hi hope you don’t mind me asking but how much wool did you need for your Afghan blanket? Hope yours turned out well. Hoping to make some as Christmas presents.
This is probably a dumb question but how are you supposed to turn over your project if it’s a whole blanket? Is it easier than it sounds? Because it sounds like a pain 🙈🤣
Hi dubbel croche is two yarn round the needle you work with ,in sweden do wi say, 1 stolpe ,that is one yarn round the needel. That is beutiful. Mvh Helena
I just want you to know on how I enjoy using this type of yarn I'm doing a blanket using white and green but using this pattern and it is looking very nice my mom will be getting it for christmas and she dose not even know it.agian thank you
I tried crocheting this last night and I was pretty dissapointed in how my blanket does not lay flat, but has "waves" and a very limiting end. My personal recommendation is NOT to put a single stitch after the chain. Singles are super limiting and mean for like beanies or anything that does not lay flat.
The speed and lack of description in the first row really doesn't make this the easiest.. The title makes it seem as if a beginner could easily watch and pick this up but after mentioning that there will be two loops on the hook, there's no explanation of pulling one through one loop, then the next through both?
@@andrewenriquez3138 I think they're referring to going in to the "back bump" on the chain. Her yarn is dark and it's hard to see what she's doing. The pattern is easy enough, yes. I couldn't see it or figure out how to do it, so I just went in the chain like normal. Looks fine to me.
I am trying to get back into crocheting after 45 years. A couple of questions: 1. How can I keep my initial chain stitch row from being too tight, thus, curving my Afghan? 2. My triple chain at the end of each row seems to make too large of an opening. Is this correct? I have done about 5 rows but I want to start over to see if I can improve these two areas. Before I search all the videos, can anyone respond?
it looks so easy. you go so fast. can you make an afghan in a night? an under-taking for sure for a beginner. I have done macrame and some knitting. quite comprehensive and the hardest part i think would be knowing what size(yarn weight) to use. Hoping if i start now. maybe by christmas a nice afghan to gift. Looks simple. just loop the yarn around the hook and pull through.. what can possible go wrong.
I know an easier one.... I am making a baby blanket where I just chained 61 and I double crocheted along the whole thing 40 times. P.s I used pipsqueak yarn that is at Walmart and it also works with buttercup. And yes I know I am not good at explaining things... I might make a video on it
Most precious lady 💟💞 thank you for this ive been crocheting for years and trying to learn new stitches that are easy is amazing thank you again for sharing you're beautiful work
I am trying this pattern, but also want to incorporate another stitch with this so it beccomes bit airy.. does anyone has any suggestion? also this is a very pretty and easy stitch thank you ❤
I'm having a little trouble with the last stitch on each row. That one does not look the same as the rest of the stitches and is hard to get my hook into. What's wrong?
I have done a few small projects lately. I have made a Lap blanket over the summer. I am ready for a big project and want to make a large afgan. I have found the yarn i want to use just to get it purchased. I plan on working in one big blanket. I have read where someone would work in smaller sections and the sew the pieces together. Is that a preference on how a blanket is made or is their a time when that method would be better to use when making a blanket?
I'm new to knitting and crocheting...so when I watch these videos, I look up how many chain count - and for a blanket it is 146...is this how many I do for my starting chain count? is this correct
How many skains did it take you to make the blanket? I started with chain of 130. And I started out buying the same yarn you used I bought 4 to begin but can tell it's going to take alot of skains to finish. Was hoping to get a rough idea of how many it took you!
After the first stitched row, and after the triple stitch do you go through both pieces or yarn or only one. Like on the edge of the stitch there’s two loops, do I go through both? I can’t tell from the video....I’m kinda blind 😂
I'm a beginner and picking up hints here and there from various TH-cam videos. Your slipknot is the easiest to do! Thank you for explaining that. I did get lost watching your double crochet, though. I needed to back it up and watch a few times. Thank you, Kristi!
I don't like the holes at the end of each row, is there a way to do it so there is no hole? Can I crochet into the first stitch instead of the second from the hook?
I am so glad that you didn't use a stark white background like a lot of vids. Your background choice makes it so much easier to view what you're teaching!!
Please can you tell me what make crochet hook you used. I love the sharper point. Love the blanket, lovely demo very easy to follow..thank you very much. ❤️
I knit very well but i am woefully bad at crocheting . I think it might be a tension issue and I never know what to do when i get to the end of a row. My edges are crazy and i lose stitches. I guess I need to practice more.
So Im confused. On the end where she says it may be hard to understand, and you crochet into the 3rd chain, do you do this only once throughout the blanket, or every other row? Thanks!!
I’m leaning how to crochet from videos on you tube. I enjoyed your blanket video, so my next item will be your blanket pattern. Not too sure how much yarn I’ll need ..... hoping to order the correct amount. Your ice is easy on my ears, the size for a CA King. This will help my dbl crochet! Thanks a bunch 😊

This is probably a dumb question but how are you supposed to turn over your project if it’s a whole blanket? Is it easier than it sounds? Because it sounds like a pain 🙈🤣
Thank You Very Much for making it look so easy !!!
Thank you. I’m learning a little bit. I subscribed.
Hello from Attleboro Massachusetts. Can you please share the foundation multiple? TIA
Hi dubbel croche is two yarn round the needle you work with ,in sweden do wi say, 1 stolpe ,that is one yarn round the needel. That is beutiful. Mvh Helena
I am a beginner you made it easy looking forward to more of your videos
I just want you to know on how I enjoy using this type of yarn I'm doing a blanket using white and green but using this pattern and it is looking very nice my mom will be getting it for christmas and she dose not even know it.agian thank you
Instructions say 10 skeins of #5. How many grams/ounces is that, in case you find it in larger quantity?
I tried crocheting this last night and I was pretty dissapointed in how my blanket does not lay flat, but has "waves" and a very limiting end. My personal recommendation is NOT to put a single stitch after the chain. Singles are super limiting and mean for like beanies or anything that does not lay flat.
Amy S. Jeppesen your tension is too tight make it a little looser.
@@ManahsRoom I agree. An easy way to do this is to go up in hook size.
The speed and lack of description in the first row really doesn't make this the easiest.. The title makes it seem as if a beginner could easily watch and pick this up but after mentioning that there will be two loops on the hook, there's no explanation of pulling one through one loop, then the next through both?
If you dont know how to do a basic line and then add one then watch a beginner video negative Nancy.
@@andrewenriquez3138 I think they're referring to going in to the "back bump" on the chain. Her yarn is dark and it's hard to see what she's doing. The pattern is easy enough, yes. I couldn't see it or figure out how to do it, so I just went in the chain like normal. Looks fine to me.
I am trying to get back into crocheting after 45 years. A couple of questions:
1. How can I keep my initial chain stitch row from being too tight, thus, curving my Afghan?
2. My triple chain at the end of each row seems to make too large of an opening. Is this correct?
I have done about 5 rows but I want to start over to see if I can improve these two areas. Before I search all the videos, can anyone respond?
it looks so easy. you go so fast. can you make an afghan in a night? an under-taking for sure for a beginner. I have done macrame and some knitting. quite comprehensive and the hardest part i think would be knowing what size(yarn weight) to use. Hoping if i start now. maybe by christmas a nice afghan to gift. Looks simple. just loop the yarn around the hook and pull through.. what can possible go wrong.
Great tutorial! I'm at the end of my afghan and I'm not sure how to finish my edge at the bottom to match the top. Can someone please help?
You're a good teacher, thank you. I like this simple patter very much .👍❣️
By the way, I'm old school and all my hooks are lettered..what size is a 9mm?
Is the working row the WIDTH or LENGTH of the throw…thanks!
I know an easier one.... I am making a baby blanket where I just chained 61 and I double crocheted along the whole thing 40 times. P.s I used pipsqueak yarn that is at Walmart and it also works with buttercup. And yes I know I am not good at explaining things... I might make a video on it
Wow easiest explanation of slip knot ever...
Most precious lady 💟💞 thank you for this ive been crocheting for years and trying to learn new stitches that are easy is amazing thank you again for sharing you're beautiful work
Thank you but a little to fast for me ...I am writing it down as u speak. Have a nice day.
How do you do the final row? Is there a way to make it nice like the first row where you dis the back bump stitches
I am trying this pattern, but also want to incorporate another stitch with this so it beccomes bit airy.. does anyone has any suggestion?
also this is a very pretty and easy stitch thank you ❤
I'm having a little trouble with the last stitch on each row. That one does not look the same as the rest of the stitches and is hard to get my hook into. What's wrong?
This how you make Afghan blanket wow so simple. Always wanted to try this thanks for showing.
I have done a few small projects lately. I have made a Lap blanket over the summer. I am ready for a big project and want to make a large afgan. I have found the yarn i want to use just to get it purchased. I plan on working in one big blanket. I have read where someone would work in smaller sections and the sew the pieces together. Is that a preference on how a blanket is made or is their a time when that method would be better to use when making a blanket?
These are so satisfying to watch. I’m definitely going to have to learn this.
GREAT🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 VIDEO THANKS⚘ FOR YOUR TIME AND SHARING💯 YOUR FOR GIFT ALL FREE CROCHET. ● BROWN FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON 💜
She goes way too fast. Girl, slow dooooown!!!
Was a good video but for a beginner like myself you went way too fast with the stitches
I'm new to knitting and crocheting...so when I watch these videos, I look up how many chain count - and for a blanket it is 146...is this how many I do for my starting
chain count? is this correct
How many skains did it take you to make the blanket? I started with chain of 130. And I started out buying the same yarn you used I bought 4 to begin but can tell it's going to take alot of skains to finish. Was hoping to get a rough idea of how many it took you!
does anyone know if you have to remember how many chains youve made? to keep your blainket even
I don’t know if I missed it but may I ask what type of yarn you’re using? Is it the rope one?
After the first stitched row, and after the triple stitch do you go through both pieces or yarn or only one. Like on the edge of the stitch there’s two loops, do I go through both? I can’t tell from the video....I’m kinda blind 😂
I'm a beginner and picking up hints here and there from various TH-cam videos. Your slipknot is the easiest to do! Thank you for explaining that. I did get lost watching your double crochet, though. I needed to back it up and watch a few times. Thank you, Kristi!
Couldn’t tell if the DC was in the back bump, or in the entire hole of the stitch?
hi You explained very easy and clearly showing. so I understood all. I needed to refesh my past crochet memory. Thanks. bhavna.S.
Very nice and easy for me to remember...lol Thanks
She sounds very nice, but moves too fast for me. I kept rewinding and she still moves too fast.
I don't like the holes at the end of each row, is there a way to do it so there is no hole? Can I crochet into the first stitch instead of the second from the hook?
I am so glad that you didn't use a stark white background like a lot of vids. Your background choice makes it so much easier to view what you're teaching!!
I love the way you teach. You don't talk too much and you get right to it. Beautiful blanket for my daughter who is having her first baby.
Please can you tell me what make crochet hook you used. I love the sharper point. Love the blanket, lovely demo very easy to follow..thank you very much. ❤️
I knit very well but i am woefully bad at crocheting . I think it might be a tension issue and I never know what to do when i get to the end of a row. My edges are crazy and i lose stitches. I guess I need to practice more.
So Im confused. On the end where she says it may be hard to understand, and you crochet into the 3rd chain, do you do this only once throughout the blanket, or every other row? Thanks!!
How many Skeins of yarn do I need for a full size. Queen will be to big
I’m leaning how to crochet from videos on you tube. I enjoyed your blanket video, so my next item will be your blanket pattern. Not too sure how much yarn I’ll need ..... hoping to order the correct amount. Your ice is easy on my ears, the size for a CA King. This will help my dbl crochet! Thanks a bunch 😊
