- All things old are new again, and this blanket is no exception. These pony bead blankets gained popularity in the late 80s, and now they're making the rounds again.
Please, do not make this type of blanket as a baby blanket. Babies love to chew, and they don't need anything with beads on it. Also, I highly suggest you hand wash this, and either hang or lay flat to dry. If you do need to toss it in the dryer for a few minutes, do so with no heat. Acrylic yarn dries very quickly.

Amber you brought me back to my Grandmother. She made me a beaded Afghan I the early 70's
I loved my Afghan. Thank you. Love your channel.😊
Thank you! 🥰
I'm an old bird and I do not remember these pony bead blankets at all - but I live under a rock! I'm a very visual learner and have spent the last month watching every video available. If you are wanting to learn how to make one YOUR SEARCH STOPS HERE! This tutorial is perfectly paced and each step is thoroughly explained. Lovely, lovely, lovely!! THANK YOU!!
This blanket would be awesome for people in wheelchairs who have dementia or any anxiety disorder. You could make them small enough to stay out of the wheels and crochet ties on the top corners so it could be tied on like an apron. I’m going to make one like that and take it to a memory care facility. Thank you so much for the tutorial.
Weighted blankets are beneficial for many reasons too! Not just anxiety it helps me sleep at night
Ive seen these before and always thought you would have to prestring all the beads, this is so much easier lol
Wow Amber I'm older than dirt and I've never seen this done before, I love it. Going to send this to my sisters. Awesome idea!
😂😂😂
Me too!
Newborns are perfect for this. Adds extra secure feeling.
Maybe it’s regional. Before the internet, some fads didn’t make it everywhere. I’ve never seen this.
I'm working on a weighted blanket with these beads my beads are glow in the dark the same brand of beads you have fun project
Yours is going to be awesome!
I am waiting that too. I thought glow in the dark would be fun. Lol
Someone made me 1 back in late 60's. It had flannel on the back with peace signs on it.
I've always wondered how these were done! I'm sitting here grinning like a goofball because I'm loving it!! Thanks for the video!!
You're not a goofball. 😁. I've never seen one like this. Totally awesome.
Like the look of this beaded blanket have never seen or heard of it.
These would make great fidget blankets, I think I'm going to make one for my grandson, he's 5 and nonverbal with FoxP1 , he loves fidgets
I know ur teaching us to place beads in our projects. But I only subscribed because of your laughter 😂. Hella funny 😄
I'm in my mid 50's and I've never seen this before! Thanks for the tutorial, this is going on my to do list!!
I'm in my 50s too and I haven't seen anything like it either. Definitely on my to do list. 😁
I think this pattern would make a nice bag. I like how you staggered your beads.
I just finished a blanket yesterday. I guess I found my next project 😂
I'm doing a loom weaving blanket with beads, using a garter stitch (yes I know it's a different discipline). I'm pre-beading the yarn before it goes on the loom and then sliding a bead between each peg while doing the purl section of the garter stitch. So I'm working in 5 row sections to make a crib sized blanked as a thunder blanket for my sister's dogs. This is the test piece for me.
Im using Bernat Blanket yarn, so one side is effectively lined already. I never considered lining it to cover the other side (where the beads show), but that is a good idea, if the multi-color beads is too much!
Just sharing that my project to show that this can be done in another medium, if anyone is interested.
I never would have thought to use a loom! Thanks:)
Longtime knitter/crocheter and this is new to me. Good idea, though. I’ve seen pony beads used to make fidget toys.
😆 I made one of these blankets in high school in 2002, because I liked the one that was almost falling apart on my aunts couch. Now I'm thinking of making one for my daughter.
I love this! Never heard of pony bead blankets. Yup, now I know what to do with my yarn! Great tutorial❤❤
Couldnt wait to start one myself, thank you! Doing a jewel multicoloured wool with random coloured beads. Very satisfying....so far.
I bet that is beautiful!
Oooooooooh. Sounds soooo pretty. I might have to do one of those, too.
I finished my first throw (40 inches long and 100 sts wide). I used pony beads from Walmart with a 4mm hook and a 5mm hook for the rows without beads, and I used Big Twist yarn in ivory for the yarn. I made mine with 1 row of beads and 2 rows hdc. I'm in the process of making the second blanket with a different stitch style.
Amber, I love to crochet. My Grandma taught me when I was young. I picked it back up after my son was critically injured and I spent a lot of time in the hospital. So I wouldn't lose my mind, I had to find something to do with my hands, so I crocheted. I can't wait to try this. Thank you for the inspiration. Much love from Texas ♥️🤠
Thanks 👍 for this pattern. I love it. Never saw a beaded blanket and I'm 78 yes old.
Sandy, I truly hope your son is doing better. Can you please give an update?
@@sonshineandsong my son Zac, has had over 40 surgeries and needs more, but thank God, he's doing well. He had God and youth on his side. Thank you for asking. ♥️🙏✝️
@@sandynuber1509 oh wow that's a lot of surgeries. So glad you gave an update. I will add Zac to my prayer list. God is so good and I believe He has helped him and will continue to. God bless you both. 🙏❤️
@@sonshineandsong thank you so much. God bless you. ♥️🙏✝️
I love this idea! We got a weighted blanket for my son and he broke out in a HORRENDOUS rash! I asked if he’d like one of these instead and he LOVED the idea! ❤❤
Amber you are an absolute hoot im so glad i found this channel:)
It's been a couple of decades since I've crochet. You explained this so well. 💜💜💜💜💜
I forgot about these. One of the first blankets I made in late 70's when I first started crocheting. Going to make another 😊
That would make a pretty purse, vest, scarf, or pillow.
I've never been able to get my tension right with crocheting! That blanket looks cool and I don't remember them from the 80's. Tfs another one of your amazing talents!!
I never saw anything like this before. My Mother and Grandmother crocheted and knitted all the time. This is very nice. Thank you for showing us one more of your many talents. ❤
I did a scarf for my granddaughter , it was knitted with pearls in different places , using nearly the same technique
Very Cool! Love the bright colors.
probably the best toturial ive seen in a long time
I will be at Joann’s when they open tomorrow to get beads. This looks so fun. Thank you for giving me something to get excited about. ❤❤❤❤❤
I just sent this on to my sister in Tucson...I just love this!!
I love the look of the beads. I want to use that idea and make a notions pouch. Thanks for sharing.
I just want to say thank you for your clear instructions.
Amber that is so awesome. Thank you for your video.
I loved your tutorial, I’m glad you used Joann’s beads, as that’s what I just bought today. I can’t wait to start my blanket.!! I subscribed to all your videos. I haven’t seen your channel before. I was mesmerized by the tattoos on your hands🤗 thank you for sharing how to do this.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re here 🥰

I LOVE this, thank you so much. I have so many beads you are a lifesaver. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you sooo much love your personality and humor plus this is beautiful ❤❤❤
I’m so glad that I got to watch you making this, I always thought it was way too complicated for me - but thank you, you’ve made it look so easy…..now I want to try it!
This is beautiful! I am definitely going to make a weighted blanket like this. ❤😊
My Mom loved to crochet, she made so many blankets and socks etc😊😊
How fun! I’ve never seen this. I have try it! Thank you so much!
Yea I remember seeing them with wood beads back in the day! I want to make one now!
This is so cool. I've never seen this before.
Amber this is the coolest idea ive seen and a amazing tutorial ❤ thank you darlin
Thank you for making this so easy to follow!!
That’s interesting. I learned to add beads to crochet awhile back, also using the add-as-you-go method (versus pre-stringing and pulling beads forward). You are using a slightly different technique, while accomplishing same thing. Now I know there are options. This has been very informative.
I don’t crochet…I just love listening to you!!…maybe some day I will learn!
This is beautiful. Trying this soon. Got to finish up my other projects first. At least a couple of them.
Bought some pony beads and giving this a try. Thank you! ❤
Hope you are having a great weekend Amber you go lady this is so prettty 🩷💛❤️💙
Thank you so much!!
I love this blanket. I have never seen this but I’ll be giving it a try! Thank you for sharing! Hope you have a wonderful day!
I love this! Thanks for sharing!
I have just found your channel and I am so glad I have. I love your tattoos, your nails and your videos!!
I love to crochet! Thanks for the idea. I have a new grand baby coming up at the end of the year. Great idea for
Me! Thanks!
Wonderful tutorial! You did such a great job showing and explaining everything and gave great tips. Can't wait to try it! Thank you!
Omg this is the idea I needed! Thank you
How pretty, you done a fantastic job on this! It's so colorful and happy💜
💅Nails look very pretty!
I don't have a 😺 but do have a blonde hair Chow-Chow and the hair is everywhere🤦
Excellent video! Thank you
Never seen this before love it
Wow thanks l been looking around to use the beats for blankets a bag🙏🏼😘
Hi Amber. I just watch your video and it was so much informative. I was surprise and appreciate your comment about the baby blanket as I was considering doing that. Thank you so much. Happy crocheting! Linda ❤😂
I want to make one of these blankets.Thanks for sharing.
This is really cool! I have never seen this, before!! I am totally making one! I think i have tons of beads, already. Not to mention the massive amounts of yarn I have! Cute!!! 🖤🖤🖤
I put beads on my kids' afghans and I have made sweaters with them. They make it very pretty
I was about to share this with my daughter (she has a weighted blanket on her bed already) bit I'm going to keep quiet and just make one for her. I probably won't use pony beads but something more appropriate for an adult. Great tutorial!! Thanks!
This is awesome! Thanks for the easy to follow instructions 😊 Yes I have cats and cat hair is in every project 🤭 until wash time. PS I love your nails and your ink ❤
Thank you so much for this video, because i have seen this for a while and i wasn't sure how to start it.
Wow Amber this brought me back to my mom & grandma making these blankets. And I started singing “Wiggle It” just a second before you did🤣🤣🤣. I always reference things I say to songs.
Hi Amber! This is awesome!
I think a scarf would be nice for fall with wooden beads. I would probably have to go through all the beads drill holes clean and wide enough. But only add beads to 3 or 4 rows in the beginning and end.
Thank you for all that you do 😊
nice job on explaining, thanks!!
Love this thank you ❤
I started one . thanks so much
Thankyou for another great tutorial Amber. I will have to give it a try. Love your channel and your videos. I learnt how to do the virus shawl from one of your videos.
Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
The sample would make a very nice coaster ❤❤
I’ve started a scarf. Didn’t want to start a blanket until I had gotten good at it. I did however changed the larger hook to a H hook. The yarn doesn’t split as much with the larger hook. Again, thank you so much, I’ve never seen this before.
subbed,i love your personality :)
Never seen this blanket before ❤
I really like this I might make a purse with these beads
Most standard pony beads have a 9mm diameter (including the plastic) as far as I know, so if you don't have your hook while bead hunting you can be pretty sure 7 or 7.5 hook will almost definitely fit.
I want to make one of these so bad, I have so many leftover Kandi beads I can't use bc I'll have like 8-20 of each color
A 7mm hook is way too big. The beads are roughly 9mm wide, and 6mm tall. The hole is around 4mm or smaller, depending on the brand. Your hook needs to be 4mm (and that’s a snug fit, or a 3.75mm, or smaller.)
Hello. Good Evening Amber 😊😊Happy Friday 💞💞
I am going to make bracelets and. Chokers for the kids
.. thank you for a way to use up beads m
OMG that's so cute!!! I love to crochet. I've been watching your videos for years. You're so talented.
Thank you! 😊
@ThisSouthernGirlCan it's my pleasure love! May you and your family always be blessed. 😊🙏
I absolutely love this! I’m not use to the light colored nails lol
I’ve started doing one it’s fun
I love your video of this.
I love your personality! As a southern girl myself…You seem like a large portion of my family 😂😂
