    That’s a beautiful blanket. Does look knitted. I love it for the density. Beautiful yarn.

    Nicely done. 👍 clear instructions, good visuals. Suggestion: this looks like it would be a "yarn eater." Maybe offer the size blanket completed and how much yarn used.

      Ooo! Definitely not a yarn eater surprisingly! The EXhdc add a lot of bight to the stitches and the Sl Sts use minimal yardage. The largest size uses 12 skeins of Skein Tones (2220 yards) and is 57 by 68 inches! I actually just washed it and it grew substantially 😊

    What an elegant design. Exactly what I’m looking for to make an heirloom baby blanket in a 3 weight bamboo with great stitch definition. I can’t wait to get started. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

    I love this stitch. I’ve not seen it before and I think I’d love to try this on a table runner or some place mats. Thanks

      Ooo it would make a wonderful table runner!

    I'm glad that you have a tutorial because when you say front loop only, for me that looks like the back loop, according to other tutorials. I guess it depends on your perspective and it's good to know what yours is!

    • @lifeandyarn
      @lifeandyarn  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes! Depending on which side you are looking at!

    I get confused trying to do a foundation chain, but with your video it looks easy. I'm going to give it another try per your directions. Very pretty stitch. Thank you for sharing.

    • @lifeandyarn

      Yay! I have that on my list next, so keep an eye out for videos specifically for foundation stitches 🥰

    Wonderful teaching style and pattern - thank you! Please do more, I’m so happy to have found you!! I’ve been trying Tunisian crochet but that has made my thumb hurt😅 - I really wanted to achieve the look of a knit with crochet, and this is the ticket! I’m going to try just doing slip stitch row to every other row with other stitches too to see what happens!

    • @lifeandyarn
      @lifeandyarn  ปีที่แล้ว

      Tunisian is beautiful! I am so happy you found the video helpful, I will be doing more and looking for other knit-like stitches.

    • @lifeandyarn

      Yay! Thank you so much! This really is an easy stitch combination one you get a few rows in!

    I am nearly finished crocheting this blanket and have slightly wonky edges (my errors!). Love it! Could you suggest a border for this blanket?😮

    I've never saw this stitch pattern before, it sure does look knitted. Can't wait to try making a scarf. I just subscribed to your channel.

    • @lifeandyarn
      @lifeandyarn  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! Isn’t it gorgeous! I love how just a change in stitch placement can create an effect like this, I hope you enjoy using it!

  • @oumayhem7014
    @oumayhem7014 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For cleaner edge try to work in both loops of the last stitch it easier and gives better result 👍✌️🥰

    • @lifeandyarn
      @lifeandyarn  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That’s a great tip! However for this effect it can make the detail get lost at the ends 😊

    What an amazing blanket. Your tutorial was very thorough and easy to follow, especially with your sweet calm voice. I just subscribed. Well done!💐🌹🌺❤

      Awww thank you! I’m glad I didn’t sound nervous, I’m new to creating video content. 🥰 Again, thank you!

      thank you! I will be doing more!

    I really like the drape of this, especially in something NOT a lighter weight yarn. Very pretty and refined finished piece. Well done! I'll probably be trying this first as a swatch in a patchwork/stitch sampler tote I am planning. The only bit of constructive criticism I could offer would be to give the dimensions of your finished product along with the yardage used. I find that knowing the weight and yardage of the original with measurements helps me tremendously when planning my projects. Thanks for such a clear tutorial. I truly appreciate not having loud music blaring throughout, as some other creators are prone to add.

    • @lifeandyarn
      @lifeandyarn  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Of course! There is a link to the pattern in my site that includes all of that information 🥰

  • @JustAnotherBuckyLover

    This is a gorgeous stitch, and your video was nice and easy to follow. I have to admit, I'm not sure that it looks a lot like knitted fabric, but I'm probably coming from the wrong angle (as a relatively novice crocheter and a pretty experienced knitter). But that doesn't change the fact that the blanket in blush is absolutely gorgeous, and I've learned a lot from watching this tutorial.
    I'm glad I found your channel, and I'm going to take a look at your other videos, because there's so much I need to learn about crochet and I love the fact that they are so different.

    • @lifeandyarn
      @lifeandyarn  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Close up you can definitely tell it’s crochet, but the use of the FLO and Sl St give the illusion of knit from a distance 🥰 thank you for watching and enjoying my video!

    Hello, I love it! Could you please tell me the name of the color used for the swatch in the video? I checked the colors in their web and can't recognize it. In your blog I think you mention the other one, but not this golden like. Thanks

    • @lifeandyarn
      @lifeandyarn  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Of course! The color I did for the swatch is called ginger root! I’m so sorry, I thought I mentioned that 😅

  • @lindaconnaire4488

    Why do you slip stitch every other row? Couldn't you use another stitch instead of slip st

    • @lifeandyarn
      @lifeandyarn  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The slip stitch and the FLO is what creates the illusion of the purl stitches like in knitting.

    That looks like a back loop to me 🧐

    • @lifeandyarn
      @lifeandyarn  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nope, it’s front loop, the slip stitch’s makes it look that way😊
