🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on UA-cam yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

I was just looking for it in it's entirety! Would you consider this beginner/intermediate friendly?
@@kerriandmarcusdeedsdurden1345 absolutely! I go through the first few rounds of the simple squares for beginners and have time stamps to jump to for those who don't need such hand holding 👍 If you can do a double crochet stitch (USA terms), you're good to go! X
@@HookedbyRobin Oh, perfect. I can do that stitches, just my tension is never even. I just need to buy my yarn and I'm good to go
Typical I see this right after I swear to never do a blanket again. It's so beautiful, I'm dying to do it. Love all your work xxx
Loved all the videos. Made a blanket for my little girl for valentines. Did a sixteen square one! I’m going to celebrate with a good nap 😴 😂 and rest my hand and arm for a few days....
Thanks for guiding me through this big project. I am delighted with the finished result. Really enjoyed the process. 😊
You’re very welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed it!😃🧶
This blanket is BEYOND STUNNING!!! I'm expecting my first child in October, surprise sex, and I was planning to make my first ever blanket for the occasion. I think I'll just crochet a very simple white blanket and then add a rainbow border. And maybe a little rainbow applique in the middle.
Thank you so much for the idea! 🌈
I love this blanket. When I'm done with my white and red hearts blanket I'm giving it to my son. I've made 3 different blankets, gave one to my daughter and 1 as a wedding gift to my niece.
I love this project. Your excitement over it is so contagious. I hope to make it soon. Your instructions/tutorials are so wonderful. You cover every part of this blanket with so much clarity and so much love for the project. Thank you so much!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I LOVE the unicorn dreams blanket and am so grateful that Lisa created it and super thankful for your videos. When I started this project two years ago, it was for my 2 year old granddaughter, since then she had a baby sister that joined the family, so I of course needed to make a second one. I can honestly say I couldn’t have done it without your tutorials. You make everything clear and easy to follow. Thank you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awwwh! This was so lovely to read Emily, thank you! 🥰🥰
I'm just finishing up using the flat-braid join and a slightly modified version of this border on a sun, moon, and stars granny square baby blanket. These tutorials have been really helpful and the border finishes off the blanket so well!
That sounds like such a beautiful blanket!😍 It is a great border!x
Thank you so so much for all the videos!
I started on my blanket 3 months ago, not very good at crocheting and definitely could not read a pattern! It looked like a different language to me!😅
I am currently finishing the shell border on my blanket as we speak! I went from not being able to read a pattern to now being able to do so! You have taught me so much!
I have used your videos, put my own spin on some of the blocks, pulled inspiration for others throughout the internet, even creating a couple of my own!
I am making this blanket for my Granddaughters 3rd Birthday this Friday! Literally spending every free moment I had working on it to get it finished in time to give to her on her Birthday! I can’t wait to see that sweet face when she sees it!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping through the process of making her something that she will cherish for a lifetime!!! Much Love
-Lisa
Hi Lisa. Ah I was the same when I started, crochet patterns looked like a different language.🫣😅
Thank you so much for your kind words, how is your blanket for your granddaughter going?🤗 x
The border is as beautiful as the blanket itself thank you so much Robin my six day old baby granddaughter is going to have the most gorgeous cot blanket ever thanx to you and Lisa of cause 😊Amanda xx💕🦄💖
I just hooked my last stitch - I am so excited to finish my project having started it several years ago 😅
Thank you so much for all the time and effort that you put into bringing the blanket to us all! ❤🎉
We all have those type of projects Sonia.😅 Hooray for finishing it though, that’s the best feeling!🥳
@@HookedbyRobin it absolutely is 🥰
Love th e filet and shell border. So pretty.
I love all your videos, you are soooooo darn Sweet!
Thank you so much Bella!🥰🧶
Well, I’m finally finishing off this blanket after a year. I’m on the yellow for the boarder. I’ve got enough squares to make 2 more. BUT one at a time.😄 Loved making it. Very time consuming, but now that it’s all together and almost done, TOTALLY worth it. And I couldn’t have done it without you Robin. Thank you so so much.❤️
Awwwh yay! Thank you so much Bev and glad you’re well on your way to finishing your blanket, some definitely take more time than others but like you say - totally worth it.😃🧶 x
THANK YOU!!! Finished my first blanket in primary colors and ready to join and finish my second blanket in pastels!!! Worked both at the same time! The first blanket for Sebastian`s (My daugther`s first) Baby Shower on Wednesday and the second for Clara my 2 and a half year old Grand daugther. Your videos are amazing..I love all of your work! I learned to crochet with you in 2020! Thank you again for your easy to follow and clear tutorials😍
I love this Ingrid!😃 Those blankets sound beautiful and what lovely presents.🥰
@@HookedbyRobin keep showing us new projects!!!
I am back with a new video very soon!🥳
Can’t wait!!! Regards from Costa Rica❤️
Well done! It’s all gorgeous 💜
This is brilliant Robin. All your hard work has paid off and your tutorials are so easy to follow. Thank you for the stitch marker link too.
Thank you so much for this wonderful crochet a long project. You have been a fabulous hostess and have explained every step of the way brilliantly. I have really enjoyed every video you have made. The border is beautiful. A huge thank you to Cute Crochet Makes for the free pattern and a huge thank you to you. Love and thanks from Australia xx:)
Beautiful thanks Robin ❤
& Ella Rodgers •
Lovely, thanks for the tutorial.
Congaratulations on finishing the entire series! Thanks for all your dedication.🥰🥰🤗🤗
This is so beautiful!!!
I want to finish mine too!!
Still working on the bobble heart squares. Thank you so much for all your hard work⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤗
Those bobble heart squares go on FOREVER 😅😍
This is amazing. Well done Lisa for designing it. Well done Robin for crocheting and filming. I bet it took a lot of editing.
Each square could be the main event in any blanket on their own.
My favourite is the cloud and the unicorn. Closely followed by the flower squares.
Thank you for such amazing inspiration for many things
What a wonderful comment, thank you so much Caren!🥰🤗
Hi Robin. I love your teaching. They are very clear and I love your voice. Voice is very Important for me even in my relationships 😉- if I don't like man's voice bye ...so ...I am new in croshet- 1 month- and I already did 9 squares of sunburst and 9 of your beautiful pinkish 3d rose squares. And Ilove this method of joining. I definitely will do it on the roses. Thank you.
This is gorgeous!! I cant wait to do this one and will hold on to it until my first great grandbaby arrives! 💜
Such a beautiful blanket, thank you so much for this amazing series!
Thank you Robin, for the link to this boarder tutorial… I have found it and had a couple of views, so I get it right… FYI the site for your gorgeous stitch markers, says she doesn’t have them anymore, very disappointed to miss out on them. I might have to do a search for them…
Thank you again for your fabulous tutorials… 😊👍🏻
You're welcome Faye, Etsy does lovely stitch makers or Folksy if you are in the UK.😃
So very beautiful.
Thank you. The blanket is beauiful
It's so very pretty
Thank you for your great tutorials very well explained really enjoyed making this blanket 🥰
Very cute! Thank you for the awesome tutorial🤗
Thanks Robin. I am joining my squares from a 2022 CAL and I so appreciate you
Thank you so much Elaine!😃🥰
Congratulations! Its absolutely lovely. Thanks for your really great tutorials. You have made it so easy.
Hope you will be doing the cushions and the vehicles one too.
Looks gorgeous, thank you so much!
I’m currently making my second unicorn blanket. The first was for my niece and my mother paid me to make another for a baby shower she was invited to. Thank you so much for putting directions in video form, as for some reason the written ones weren’t making much sense to me.
You're so very welcome!😀
Thanks for the excellent videos to accompany the brilliant pattern by Cute Crochet Makes! I have just finished my blanket and I am amazed that I managed to create something so beautiful! I can’t wait to be able to see my Niece and give it to her! Although I am going to miss it!! :)
I've finished right now this beautiful blanket. It is a gift for my friends in newyork. Sure they will enjoy. Thank you so much for all these helpful video's.
It's so cuuuute I love it thank you 😍
Beautiful
Thank you Angeles!😃🧶
Beautiful 👍
Greetings from the Netherlands
Love this blanket and the tutorials. I have completed two squares in two days, so far. Takes me about a day to do one square but I am determined to do a total of 25 for a baby blanket. My squares are coming out about 6.5 inches so hopefully 5x5 wont be too big for a baby blanket. I have 4 months to get this done....
I am sure it will look absolutely amazing!😀🥰
I'v finally come to do d shell stitch!!! Yayyy...!! But i'm going to do a lining with cotton clothe to cover d back of d blanket. It's going to b tedious but lining cover will safeguard d end threads/stitches. Anyways, tq so much for this CAL tutorial. Really fun! N once finished, i'm going to treat myself for another yarn haul! 😊
Geeze, i just tried to play catch-up and now i see this.. lol. I love this soo much❣️❣️🌷❣️❣️ Thank you Sweetie🌷
I did this scalloped edge and it was so easy.
I haven't got around to do this blanket. It's on my to do list.
No rush Debra!😃🤗
@@HookedbyRobin I love this blanket and it'll look great on my new reclining chair.
That sounds like the dream!😍
🐐
Now that your done with the blanket would you please consider filming the matching pillows?
I do hope you find this. I have been using your flat stitch braid for quite some time, yours seems to be the easiest to follow and I use it quite often! My ending starts with where you have a hdc, (in the first white) I use dc, but from there, it's just what my mood does. However on a blanket I'm finishing now, I'm wanting the scallop/shell ending. I'm needing to know that to add the shells, that will equal out, what particular number of stitches to have. A certain number, or perhaps odd, even, counts of 3's or 5's, etc. Am I making sense?
Hi, i am just finishing up my version of this blanket. You mentioned you were going to block the entire blanket, do you have a video on how you block a project this big? This is my first granny squaree blanket and i have no experience with blocking. Thank you so much, your videos have helped me develop my craft and i appreciate it very much!
Hello, I have a video for blocking here 😀: ua-cam.com/video/v0Hfu0byjxs/v-deo.htmlsi=3-FObH8DTbXS0HUY I am glad you've enjoyed your crochet and the videos.x
Hello, the magic number hole is 13 right? Because mine is turning 15. I am confused.
Hi Robin, just being a little nosy, but can you tell me why you use USA terms when you are British ? Just would love to know ..... aussie use the same as British terms, but I’ve done enough USA patterns that I convert in my head as I crochet
I've always used USA terms as it's how I first learnt! I had no idea there were different terminologies in the beginning :-) I convert the 2 easily too, however, USA is my native tongue LOL 😅
I would love to send you yarn from jersey here in the USA
Hi Robin, what were the final measurements of this Beautiful blanket please??
I've had a look at Lisa's website and she states that using 49 squares gave her an overall measurement of 107cm x 107cm for her finished blanket (I only made a sample I'm afraid!) You can mix and match the squares to make any size you fancy really! 😀
How many squats to this blanket
I’m all the way to the shells but the count on my shells isn’t working out. 😭 So confused as to how to fix this! 😭😭
Hmm you could probably fudge it a little bit - you could try skipping just one stitch inbetween the sc and the shells to make it fit? OR if you have too many stitches left, try skipping 3 for a couple of the shell sections?
I hope that makes sense!
