Hi friends, I hope you enjoy the video. If you are looking for a quick blanket project, this is the one! It's an easy one row repeat and grows very quickly with this yarn and hook size. I hope you are enjoying your weekend and have a wonderful Easter if you acknowledge it! xo
OMG... the tips at the end were just what I needed. I finished a blanket recently, and it was nowhere near straight. It killed me to undo it all. After wiping my tears, I decided to try again and found your video. I'm starting again now. Just wanted to say thanks.
I love that you include your cats in your tutorials! My black cat, Tazz, passed away over 4 years ago and I still miss him every day. I had a short-haired Maine Coon, named Monster, that reminds me of your other cat. I miss him too. Both were gentle giants.
Awe ❤️ I’m sure you do miss them. I’m so glad you are enjoying the cats in the video. I appreciate that because sometimes people don’t. But that’s ok, there are plenty of other videos on TH-cam… and really it’s much easier to record now that I just keep filming 😆❤️
I’m a crochet beginner and I’ve been wanting to make blankets to give them as presents for my friends/family, so finding this video is amazing for me, especially when the yarn is the same one I love! I’m definitely going to try making this soon!
I'm not even a year into learning how to crochet but I have made soooo many blankets and a pillow case and 2 pocketbooks. I'm completely addicted!!! I have watched a lot a lot of videos to learn and I have to say that I have enjoyed your videos the best!!! Thank you for the tips a the end! Your a really good teacher ❤️
Beautiful cats. Everything you do is inviting them to play. Wonderful. Very good tips. You make it look very easy using the size 12 hook. It takes a while to get use to that size. Another great video and beautiful blanket. 🌍☮️🌲
I'm a begintermediate crocheter and i have got to say - thank you for your tips!! I make most of my projects with this yarn and tried to use a bunch of different techniques to help with tension, but never realized the techniques I was using were meant for yarns with different properties. Thank you so much!!
Oh...this is going to save my life. I've procrastinated making a blanket for my mom for Christmas and started to stress. Already have the yarn, just need a hook!
First time crocheting a big project with chunkier yarn and your tutorial was very easy to follow and I’m loving how it’s coming out! Will definitely come back to this channel for later projects :)
I really appreciated that you addressed the tension and how it can affect your project and how to tie the yarn together. Also suggesting how to keep things moving faster without tangling or knots was very beneficial !!
Beginner here. Picked up my first crochet hook 10 days ago. Watched your video, went out and grabbed 5 skeins of chenille yarn, and now I'm nearly finished with my first blanket. I'm delighted with my progress and my blanket looks fantastic. Thanks so much for this tutorial!
I love chunky blankets, yes I would like to see more blanket s patterns. This one is awesome. Love it ❤Thank you. Blessings😊 PD the tips you give us at the en are very helpful, thank you so much😊
Hello Roz and happy Easter to you and the boys . Thanks for today's lesson . I love working with chunky yarn making scarves and throws . They are quick to whip up . Have a good night.
I'm going to see if I can finished this before Christmas! With everything else thats going on, it's going to be tight. Thanks for pattern your great tips!
@@cammiekitzman2986 yes , even when you’ve been doing it for years like I have , tension can be an issue so that will just take some practice . But you might find working on a bigger project like this is easier to manage the tension . 💕 good luck!
Thank you for this video! I’ve crocheted for years but have difficulty reading patterns. I wanted something “brainless” to do while watching TV as I have a hard time sitting still. After trying several other stitches and a couple of patterns, this one just clicked right in my brain. I increased the width to 88 stitches and added another skein as my husband wanted it bigger. I’m enjoying the project - thank you!
Just finished making a throw for a friend for Christmas with this stitching, started making a blanket for my grand baby. I am a long time beginner and this was so easy and fun to make. I did however use a smaller hook and found the blankets much thicker.
Beautiful blanket and stitch! I love your tutorials! You’re a great instructor ❤ Thank you for always sharing such beautiful stitches and blanket patterns 🥰❤️
Great tutorial. Really appreciate all the tips. Blanket is beautiful. I do have a size 6 yarn that I have been anxious to learn how to crochet & your video has helped. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love the way you did these stitches. I have this yarn. I've had it for 3 years and made 2 other attempts to try and crochet a blanket with it. Without success always fraud the back so I frog the back. I put it in plastic and put it away. Thank you. I think I'll give it another go.
Hi, i started this pattern on Sunday as I have a lot of similar yarn that I want to use. It's a nice, easy pattern. You get a good rhythm going and you've done lots without noticing ❤
I have loved making this blanket. Looks great. Cosy. Heavy which I like but it’s not one days work. Certainly not for a beginner. I’ve been doing a couple of hours a day for about 7 nights now. I’m on my last ball of yarn so maybe another 4 hrs at least. I guess if you sat for 24 hrs you could almost be done 😂
I just finished my second blanket. I really enjoyed this pattern. Here are a few of my observations : I bought 4 skeins in Bernat Blanket plum chutney and 4 skeins in tidepool. For whatever reason the plum chutney blanket was well over 4x5 ft and the tidepool was under 4x5. I found this very odd as each skein said 220 yards. For the chain I gave in and bought a 15mm hook. I could not get the chain right. Either it was too loose and sloppy or too tight and made the blanket curve. I frogged the first blanket A LOT. Also, because the yarn was variegated and my frogged yarn got curly it was really hard for me to find each chain. I ended up marking every 10th chain and that helped a lot. I got in the habit of every so often counting the V stitches in a row to make sure I had 31. (I did 66 chains). Also when I would make the Vs I got in the habit of saying 1-2 for each hdc so that I didn't make Ws or Is by mistake.
Also I love the join technique. It is such a secure knot. One other thing I did - with the two tails - after weaving them in I used a small piece of thread in a similar color to tie the end to another strand in the blanket so that it would not pop up. Because the yarn is chenille the thread and knot just disappears in the fibers.
Beautiful pattern! I look forward to trying it! I personally wouldn't consider this project "beginner friendly" but this is a great video with plenty of excellent advice and direction.
I found the pattern easy to follow, it just keeps repeating after the first row, and it looks good too! Bought more yarn as I decided to make this as xmas presents. 🎁 It’s a project that’s easy to make and for sure will complete it before christmas🎄(my 20+ WIPs at the side are waving 👋🏽) 😅😂
This is by far the best vlog I've ever watched on any subject by anyone...I'm tempted to give it a go ysrn is very expensive though! But I'll gradually get the wool...I need a big hook too so things to source....I'm a knitter primarily!!! I find crocheting a tad tedious lol... anyway your tips especially the paper towels holder is super clever.. love the cats too mine would not take a bit of notice ! Thankyou ❤️

Thank you! Very nice blanket. I'm gonna try it
How many chains do you need for a full blanket?
I love your teachings also and your pets as well.
Love this. I'm a beginner. I love the Bernat blanket yarn!

I’m so sorry you lost your kitty ❤😢
@@PlayHookywithMeinclude your kitties more. They're so cute. I've had caysy whole life, and there's nothing like these soft cuddly furballs😊❤
Thanks for your kindness for cat's. I've learned so much.😊
my uncle had a black cat named Onyx with so much personality, she passed away about a year ago with her sister:(
I love the way you teach! Yes more chunky blankets. I want to makexa baby chunky blanket

So glad it helped ❤️
Beautiful cats. Everything you do is inviting them to play. Wonderful. Very good tips. You make it look very easy using the size 12 hook. It takes a while to get use to that size. Another great video and beautiful blanket. 🌍☮️🌲
Thank you, Jennie. 😺 12mm is my limit and I’ve had to play with different ones to find my fit.
A 4mm is my comfort zone 😂😂😂
❤️
Great video. I have been crocheting for about 30 years but I learned so much from this video. Wonderful job!
Thank you so much! 😀💕

It’s definitely a cat magnet, isn’t it? 🤣 🧶 💕

@@deannesmith4979 you’re right, it’s most certainly that! 😻🤣❤️
