How To Crochet A Blanket For Absolute Beginners The Rainbow Blanket

- Looking for an easy crochet stitch that will make a beautiful blanket? This is my GO-TO stitch. It's one of the easiest stitches you can use that will work up a fast blanket and create a gorgeous textured look. Plus! It's repetitive so once you see the pattern working you don't even have to count anymore!!! Which also makes this a very relaxing project because you can just move and don't even have to think. I use this stitch for many different projects such as scarfs, purses, and, well, almost anything. Like I said, it's my Go-To. I hope you enjoy this stitch also! This stitch really shines when paired with a yarn that has multiple colors and you want the colors of the yarn to steal the show.

after playing with this stitch, my son with sensory issues fell in love with the swatches. Took me a while, but I made him a queen size blanket in this stitch. We spent a fun day shopping for a yarn he liked. I just want to say thank you for this tutorial.
Do you happen to recall how many skeins or cakes it took to make the queen size blanket?

I think it took 10 red heart ombre @@kimwaknitz7594
I don't ever comment but I really need to say thank you. I love crochet and knitting but I can only basically do chains. I cannot read patterns and any other videos I found stress me out and overwhelmed me. I am so thankful I came across this video and I am almost in tears excited that this is a pattern that I can understand and do! Thank you so much!
I took a break crocheting because I lost my daddy in December.. but I’m back and honestly this is what I needed!!! I’m putting all of my love for my daddy into this one.. Thank you for this video! -love a grieving friend from Chicago 🩷
Love the blanket just learning to do front and back post so timing is great thank you
Just want to say "THANKYOU" for all the great tutorials and tips & hints! You are a wonderful
instructor. So easy to follow...love how you show us how to join yarn.
And love watching you also on the Crochet channel.
I have watched many videos and yours is the first one that I have ever had someone cheer me on. 'You've got this' 'I will see you at the end of the row' you area great teacher!
Thank you so much! Sometimes all someone needs is to be believed in. 😊❤️🧶
I have been crocheting for 40 years and watching / learning on youtube for many years ! YOU ARE THE EASIEST PERSON to listen to 🤗🤗 so cute and fun ! Thank you and im subscribed !!!! Have a happy day Tiffany !!!
Oh wow! Thank you so much! I am so so happy that I can be helpful and fun to watch. Welcome to my channel! 😊🧡🧶
Thank you so much for showing me what you do to secure your ends. I love this stitch and I’m definitely going to use it. ❤️
I just loved your video on how to work this beautiful stitch! Thank you so much for offering this to the public that wants to learn. You are so pretty and explained everything very clearly and with a smile! Can’t wait to see your other videos!
Love the pattern. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful joyful day.
My mom and I just started crocheting together, and we’ve been watching your videos and I’ve now started this blanket. Thank you! :)
Hi I Like Squirrels 1234! I love that you and your mom have started crocheting together! That is so heartfelt and just so cool. I hope you like my videos. Let me know if you have any questions. 😊🧡🧶
This is a fabulous beginner project. I literally just taught myself to crochet on this blanket. I love how it turned out. The first few inches went slow bc I was starting from almost no knowledge but the rest flew by! Thank you.
Love your tutorials! As a newbie to crochet, I just completed my first blanket using this tutorial and it turned out awesome! So easy to follow. I am definitely subscribing to learn more. Thanks!
I agree. So easy to follow!!!!
me too!
I absolutely love this. Having worked with front and back loop crochet, I know exactly how to do this and I can't wait to get started. Looks so soft yet durable. BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you.
Except for the fact that she is not doing a front loop double crochet she is doing a front post double crochet.
@@moniquecaton3285 I am so glad others caught that. As you know they are 2 completely different stitches and will be done wrong if a beginner is working on a pattern and uses her terminology which isn't the standard.
Just a lovely stitch. Just what I was looking for. Thank you for your tutorial and tips! Thank you :)
I was looking for just this!! I bought a beautiful yarn so I want the Yarn to be the star of the show!!! Thank you, thank you!!
I love the not counting the most!! I lose count and have to frog so many times! I love it!!
This is so amazingg!! I've always found crochet a trouble for me and since we are in quarantine now I was think of doing some crochet. I'll give this ago ! Thanks 💕
I have some similar yarn to yours and can’t wait to try out this pattern. Thanks for your very informative tutorials. Xx 💕💕🎄🎄
Thank you so much for teaching this stitch, which you do so clearly! I absolutely love this stitch, perhaps it’s the woven look of it which seems so fresh & new. I’m doing a soft variegated cotton yarn of Peaches & Crème brand, and it’s so pretty & so relaxing as you said. I especially like how you do the end of each row. You have made it all so simple to follow! Thank you!
I'm using Bernat baby crushed velvet yarn and I'm enjoying making a throw with this stitch. Your really know how to transmit knowledge, you're a great teacher Tiffany. You are also sharing finishing tips, I will definitely apply them too. Thank you so much!
Hi Neyda! I love that you are using the crushed velvet yarn. I bet that is so pretty and so soft! Thank you so much for the compliment. I am so glad that I could be helpful. 😊🧶🧡
Such an easy pattern. Thank you. Your teaching is so clear and kind.
Thank you for putting this pattern up! I started doing one of my own and it’s coming out beautifully.
Hi Liza! Oh YAY! I'm so excited for you to make this project! It is one of my favorite patterns. I'm so glad it is coming out beautifully for you. 😊🧡🧶
Thank you for the measurement chart. That will come in real handy.
Thank you for such a lovely beautiful and beginner friendly pattern.
Such a gorgeous blanket. Thanks for the glue tip.🧡
I crochet baby blankets for a local hospital. Ever since I discovered you, I only make your patterns! They are all beautiful and work with any yarn I have used. I especially love your Easy Baby Blanket for Absolute Beginners, sleepy baby blanket. I just finished my THIRD blanket using that pattern and couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Lovely pattern thanks for sharing ❣️ thanks also for the chart of all the blanket sizes, very helpful.
Loved this tutorial, you explain everything so clearly and I appreciate that you go over the same thing plenty of times, thankyou. I recently returned to knitting after many years and I’m looking forward to having a go at crochet. I think this would be a great place to start. Thankyou for sharing😊
Hi Kathryn! I'm so excited for you to make this blanket! I hope you love it! 😊🧶🧡
You're a wonderful teacher. You make it so clear! Thanks!!
Loved this tutorial! I've crochet baby blankets for years..have done alot of front posts and back posts to look like a basket weave. I absolutely love this stitch..how beautiful..especially with that yarn! I have always sew-in my ends with the same results you talked about. Can't wait to use the glue! You couldn't even see it when you are done! Well done!
Thank you so much! I’m excited for you to give the fabric glue a try. Make sure that the fabric glue you use dries clear and flexibly. Some don’t. I put a product link in the notes section. You can either purchase from the link or just look at what it is for a visual reference. Let me know if you use the fabric glue and what you think 😉😊❤️🧶
Wow, great video, great info. You covered all the big questions with easily accessable information to download or print. Thank you so much.
So glad I watched this love the stitch and the glue went right out and bought a bottle and it works perfect thank you I have been crocheting for 50 years and never knew about the glue I started crocheting when I was 10 😃
That's so awesome! So glad I could teach you a new trick! 😊🧡🧶
Great blanket! Can’t wait to make one. Happy I found your channel. Thank you!
This is my new favorite stitch! Thanks so much for posting this video.
Lovely stitch and your blanket is gorgeous. Thanks for the tip on the fabric glue, all these years and I’ve never heard that.
I made an afghan using this stitch with Lion brand Mandala yarn Made it with the stripes running vertically. I think it turned out very well. I love this stitch.
I love how thorough you are in your illustrations. Making it easy for us to follow your example.
I LOVE this! TY ❤ - went up from 5mm to 6mm and what a beautiful baby blanket it’s turning into!!!!!
Fantastic stitch pattern, simple! Thank you for the flexible glue tip ❤
Love this pattern. Very easy for me to follow. Using thicker yarn and it looks amazing. I can see any mistakes immediately. Thank you. 😊
I HAVEN'T DONE CROCHET IN A LONG TIME - LOCKDOWN... ABSOLUTELY CLEAR WITH NO WAFFLE AND VERY GOOD DEMONSTRATION. GOOD FOR YOU! BLESS YOU.
Hi Kay! Thank you so so much for your comment. I am so glad that my tutorial could be helpful! 😊🧡🧶
What a lovely stitch! Thank you for sharing. It makes me so happy to see young women who love yarn and who love making beautiful projects that will be treasured for years!
Tiffany, thank you so much for teaching me this stitch. I have a #6 bulky yarn I bought for my daughter and did a sample. You were absolutely right, this stitch looks gorgeous on all yarn types! I also glued my ends as you suggested and have had great luck with that method. Nice and secure! Love your channel and your manner of teaching! Thanks again! 😀
I am so happy that you had such a great experience with this pattern and the fabric glue! Not surprised, this pattern is so pretty. Thank you so much for watching! 😊❤️🧶
Your hook size does not need to match what size is on the yarn sleeve. Your hook needs to match what size you crochet. If you have a tight hand you will need to go up in size of hook to match the gauge that the pattern is meant to give. If you stitch loose you need a smaller hook. For 4 ply worsted weight yarn I usually use a G hook but that not the best size for someone that may pull the yarn very tight. They may need a size I to get the same gauge as mine. You need to make a trst swatch for each new project, especially if you are new to crochet. Your swatch should be at least 6 or 8 inches square so that you can measure properly. Measure inside 3 or 4 stitches for 4 inches along top and then measure 4 inches down the side below the first or second row. 4 inch by 4 inch count the stitches and rows that is your gauge. Go up or down to match the stitch count on the sleeve. No never use glue!!!
There is no gauge for this project she said she likes to use a larger hook so the pattern isn’t as stiff
Some of my best blankets have been made with this same stitch pattern. I love it!
I love this pattern... I have just bought a wool that is almost exactly the same colour. I can't wait till I finish my throw. I will definitely post a pic when I'm done. Thank you so much for showing us this beautiful stitch 😊
Love this! So easy, so much fun! Easy to follow. Thank you for sharing!
I love the stitch and your blanket is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your time and the information, great tutorial. I have a learning disability, so I learn by re-watching all of my you tube gurus, y'all are so brave doing videos. I love being able to come on and learn at my own pace for free. I'm too OCD to glue 🤣 I totally worry about my work falling apart in the wash, so I leave decent length tails in sew them in nicely. Tails are my personal security blanket, pun intended lol.
The glue. O-m-g! Game changer. I’m currently making a blanket and using this glue as I go. I’ve been knitting and crocheting for 40 years and just over the top excited and happy with this glue. I use the tip of a toothpick to shove it inside a stitch and it’s hidden and secure. THANK YOU for the best and helpful tip ever! 👍🏻❤️
You are MOST welcome! I am so excited this was helpful for you. And totally! Just the smallest amount. Thank you so much for sharing.😉😊❤️🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffanyk
Glad to learn the front and back post. No need to count is great. Thank you.
I love doing this stitch also it works out fast and easy doesn’t it it’s beautiful thank you for sharing❤️🌷🌷🌷🌷🧶
I have boxes of yarn that I fell in love with at the store and bought with no idea in mind what I was going to do with it....Just knew I needed to have it! lol
Have been trying to master this st. forever! Your video is so clear. Thank you. I am going to watch everything you do from now on.
Carol S. Ortiz Ortiz awesome! I’m so glad I could help! Thank you so much. Let me know if I can help in any way 😊❤️🧶
Yes! SAME!!! I've tried crochet over the years and will make a few things(basic endless sc or dc) and get bored because new stitches are so hard to get being self taught but this video is very clear so I have subscribed and cant wait to learn new stitches from this woman!!!
Thank you for the fabric glue tip! I will be getting some today to take care of those ends. Love your channel!
I absolutely love the way you explain how to do this pattern. I’m going to make a blanket now 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
YAY! So excited! I hope you love this stitch as much as I do. ❤️🧶😊. Let me know if I can help.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve crocheted for over 30 years and never thought to use fabric glue. I always use a needle to weave in my ends but you are correct that no matter how good you are those ends WILL pop out eventually. Just because your family/friends don’t tell you doesn’t mean they don’t pop out!
I appreciate this tip and thanks again for sharing!👍🏻
You are most welcome! I'm so happy I could bring up something new for you after 30 years of crocheting. That's really cool! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊💖
I’ve got a crocheted lap granny rug my mum made 80 years ago and it’s been used constantly and not a single end has come out. I think it depends on how you weave them in.
I've crocheted over 40 years and used many different fabric glues. It does works but you need to be careful to make sure to use the smallest amount or it will to dry very hard and be noticeable in touch as well as sight.
@@Soffity Probably, also, what fiber the yarn is, will affect the outcome. I have bamboo yarn that I don't think I would trust to hold it's ends in, for example.
@@ashleyvincent1860 I’ve used bamboo 70% wool 30 % yarns but not 100% bamboo. The ends haven’t come out so far and it’s been 6 years. I hear you can get glue that stays soft when it sets so you don’t have hard lumps but I’ll stick to my crochet in as I go technique as it’s worked for me so far.l fingers crossed.
Thank you ! I hadn't crocheted in a very long time. I just finished a little baby blanket using this tutorial. I used yarn that had multiple colors so I never had to switch colors and with this pattern I did not have to count. Great way to get back into it. Also loved the info on joining up the yarn from multiple skeins.. Great explanations.
You are so welcome! I am so happy I could help you get excited about crocheting again. 😊🧡🧶
I’m looking for the part where it talks about joining yarn. Help!
@@jenniferhamilton675 U can find few tips vids like this one to help u joining them th-cam.com/video/s6fd6uLAZIA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for sharing this pattern, very easy to follow!
Hi your blanket is beautiful! I’m gonna work this up and your fabric glue idea is a charm! Thank you ♥️☮️
Love this video. I’m in the middle of crocheting this pattern of back post/front post at this very moment!
I've just finished a scarf for my son with this stitch! Love and will be doing one for my daughter now.
Just need to work out a beanie hat with the stitch too...
Thank you so much for your help and time 💕 God bless you and your family always ❣️ blanket are really beautiful and cozy 💕 Thank
This was an awesome tutorial! Thanks! I'm using it to make a baby blanket. I'm somewhat new to crochet - and this tutorial was perfect. I am very grateful!
You are so very welcome!! I love this blanket pattern! I hope you do too. ❤️
I love love love that you don’t have to count the chain in the beginning!! Thank you for this tutorial!!!
You're Welcome! 😊

Thank you very much for sharing your pattern. I love it. You have an amazing day too ❤
This go to project is so good. just learning how to crochet you're a great teacher and easy to follow. I have seen this yarn will be getting this one love the blanket. Thanks for the awesome work you do!! Look forward to the next video ❤
I am just picking up crocheting again and I love your channel to help teach me. I never really got good, so with your videos I think I will stick with it this time and get better at patterns. Thank you!
I'm new at all this - just finish a baby blanket and decided I'd store it away - all because I did crochet my ends "into" the blanket - but they all see to be coming up...so I am now going to try the fabric glue - it might actually save this project! thank you.
Hi Patricia! Oh my gosh this is the perfect situation where the fabric glue really shines. Make sure that when you get your fabric glue it says on the label that it dries Clear and Flexibly. Super important. Not all Fabric Glue does. I have attached product links in the description part of my videos if you want to check out what I use. You don't have to buy from the link but it gives you a visual of what you should be looking for. Good Luck with those ends! Oh I am so excited for you to finish this baby blanket and have it ready for baby! Let me know what you think of the Fabric Glue if you try it. 😊💖
Thank you for this! Your instructions were clear and easy enough for a beginner crocheter to get. I now have a new way to make a blanket besides the never ending granny square. 😊🧶
I love it! So excited that I could help you try something new!!
I always wash after I complete a project, (blanket) it’s amazing how much softer a blanket gets in the DRYER. A lot of the weight of yarn is the dye. Of course never do that with wool. Never saw anyone use glue before, it’s not a bad idea. Nice stitch, btw.
That is so beautiful! The color & the pattern is awesome! Great job 👍
You are so right. I am doing this stitch with my current project. Its simple and versatile with any wool. Beautiful pattern formed and if you do make an error, you soon find out a few stitches ahead. Thank you so much
i Sadiyah! I'm so excited you are making this blanket! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊🧡🧶
Wow Tiffany, your instructions are wonderful. So well explained. Again your camera focus is just perfect, the best ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
AWE!!! Thank you so much Deirdre!! 😊🧶🧡
Love this pattern! Once I got into the rhythm, about row 4 of a dishcloth, it was easy to follow the patten. The hardest part was loosening my normally too tight. tension
You can go up a hook size to help with your tension (bigger) xx
I’m so new to crochet but I think I can do this. I want to make a nice warm blanket for my son in the army. This one looks cozy and warm! You do a really great job explaining and cheering on!
Hi Cathy! I’m so excited for you to make this blanket! Thank you so much for the compliment! Glad my video was helpful!😊❤️🧶
What a gorgeous project! Love that stitch!!!
I saved this blanket to my playlist cuz I absolutely love this pattern, thank you!
You are most welcome! 😊❤️🧶
I am a newbie to all this crocheting and you tube stuff but what do u mean by “playlist”?
Hi, just found your site; love it! You really explain stitches so completely, slowly... I'm a lefty and I can follow you easily. Thank you!!!!
Thank you love the video showcasing this fun stitch and cotton yarn. It looks soft. I love the feel of cotton but I confess I haven't tried it out on a blanket and I haven't tried yarn bee's cotton so I really appreciated viewing this! Also, I just finished making a sweater and I'm thinking this might even be a cute stitch for a sweater. I'll just have to figure out how to make increases for the sleeves.
Thank you! I’ve been looking for a pattern to do my Temperature Blanket. I think this is a winner. The stitch is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
I was a little confused at first but got it eventually that patterns really beautiful
This is the first time me viewing your channel I absolutely love the way you teach step-by-step I am absolutely a beginner please keep up the good work
Love the pattern🥰 I’m so glad I found your site
Where have you been all my life of crocheting?
You are so slow and easy to understand 😊
Great video and you’ve explained everything so well Tiffany! Will definitely give this a go.
Thank you so much! Oh please do give it a try. It is such a great project. 😊💖
I love this pattern . I am going to make a super king size blanket using this pattern . Thank you for this tutorial 😊
Susan Gardner oh wow! Please send me a picture of your super king size blanket when you finish! I would LOVE to see it 😄❤️🧶
Thank you for this beautiful pattern the directions were very easy 🥰
I love your blanket patterns! I made the moss stitch one for my nephew I'm making this one for my son. Thanks you so much!
Tip: Instead of having ends sticking out where you attach a new skein, I use an invisible join. It produces a very small knot with no ends and is virtually undetectable.
Hi Luna! Yes! I completely agree. I made this blanket tutorial before getting introduced to the invisible knot and now yes that is the way I would go. Thank you so much for the tip 😉❤️🧶
My favorite tutorial by far!!!!! Love the way you explain the steps!
Yay! Thank you so much! So glad I could be helpful. 😊🧡🧶
Thank yu for explain it slow
you just changed the game by giving the fabric glue trick! OMG! I am fairly new to the crochet world having only been crocheting for two years. I took it on because I had knee reconstruction and needed something to do and just kept it up and LOVE IT!
Haha nobody’s said that yet. Change’n the game. There are definitely people that are excited to try it out and well some people that aren’t and that’s ok. But for me, it’s magic 😉. So glad you started crocheting! It’s so much fun ❤️🧶
I just bought that yarn a few days ago. I fell in love also.I really love Hobby Lobby cotton yarns. They are so soft.
Yes, the softest cotton yarn I've ever used!
My first time here and I did subscribe. I have some beautiful extremely soft yarn that I didn't know what to do with, but I am sure this pattern will work for it. Thank you so much I can't wait to give it a try. It's a very soft pink nylon yarn.
That yarn sounds beautiful! I bet with this pattern your blanket will be stunning. If it’s ok I would love to see a pic of how it turns out 😊❤️🧶
I love how beautiful and simple this stitch is. I am one of those that becomes easily distracted during any project. I end up losing track of counting stitches, etc, then end up having to frog it. This will help me finally finish a blanket that I start. My question is, how many skeins did you end up using fir your blanket? Thank you so much! And I love how positively you accept the constructive criticism from the other viewers 😉
Thank you so much! I’m really glad I could show you a stitch that hopefully you won’t have to frog 😄. That always sucks. I attached 2 yarn skein charts in the description section towards the bottom to help answer how many skeins you should need but maybe I can help you out. What yarn were you thinking of using for this project?
Hahaha frog it. I love it 🐸 can’t say how many lbs of yarn I’ve ‘frogged’ over the years.
@@CrochetWithTiffany I have many skeins of Red Heart and a few Caron Cakes 😬
Thank you for teaching this beautiful pattern. I appreciate your teaching method.
What a beautiful stitch!!! Just started a blanket and I love it😊! Thanks for sharing
Definitely going to try the glue.
Thank you for the lovely blanket pattern, I have a lot of Homespun yarn , leftovers , I'm going to try a scrap blanket ,with it if it's easy to find the stitches with it, but I do have some Pop cakes that eill be beautiful in this stitch. I weave in 4" ends but I'm going to try the glue after I weave them in ,
That sounds great! I love the yarn you are thinking of using. Both the Homespun and the Pop Cakes. That will be a lot of fun! 🧡🧶😊
Such an easy way to change up a plain old stitch! Im making a king sized blanket for my hubby and this stitch makes it so plush and soft!!
I love her encouragement. It's a beautiful project and I will definitely do it.
I'm so excited for you to work on this blanket! It is so much fun and so pretty!
