How to Easily Crochet Lush & Seriously Snuggly Blanket
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
- The Crochet Seriously Snuggly Crochet Blanket pattern is the alpine crochet stitch.
This is a 4-row repeat that creates the texture. Knowing that Bernat Velvet Plus is hard to film, halfway through the tutorial, I restarted again using Red Heart Super Saver Ombre to demonstrate it a second time. This allows people to see it can be done with this yarn but also the second demonstration is more clear on where the stitches go.

I just wanted you to know that by watching your channel, I have renewed fun in my crochet projects! Humor fixes all! Plus, you are a superb instructor! Thank you!
Thank you for giving choices on sizing especially for us that don’t have access to Velvet plus or dislike using it. You’re definitely my go to resource for blankets and charts and clear directions
Thank you for your trust Jeanna! :D
Yes. Agree.
I've been using the mainstay velvet yarn and the 2nd row has always been the most difficult. I had to undo that row repeatedly for each afghan. You're a life saver!
I’ve been looking for a stitch to make that warm blanket for my husband‘s feet. I think what I’m gonna do is use three strands of yarn together to make a bulky yarn. I love your tutorials!! You’re so great at explaining each and every step of the way. Thank you for taking the time to make this great tutorial!! 💚😊💚😊
That's a great idea!
You are a wonderful teacher!! I have learned SO MUCH from YOU! Thank you!!!! ; ) Love ya'
I’m making this for my boyfriend for Christmas and I couldn’t keep the surprise a secret because it’s coming out so well! We’re so excited to cuddle up under the blanket and watch our shows ❤️
I'm loving your enthusiasm.
Excellent tutorial Mikey and beautiful blanket. Thank you
I made this blanket for my daughter in law. Works up quickly. Very soft! Thank you Mikey! I couldn't have done this without your amazing guidance!
My pleasure. Have a great Sunday.
Love this❣️. Alpine stitch is one of my favorites, thanks Mikey, so easy peasy and the velvet plus is a stand out ❣️🤩🍫🍫🍫
It really does jump out eh!
Thanks again for clear instructions and a pleasant voice! Im going to try recovering a sofa pillow with some left over Bernat velvet yarn for a luxurious pillow in this great looking Alpine stitch. Love your videos- keep up the great work Mickey!
I love how much thought you put to this. Love a girl with a plan. :D
Love the Alpine Stitch!!! and love the look and feel of the velvet yarns! I was first introduced to the alpine stitch 3 years ago and decided I wanted to crochet a scarf with Lion Brand Ferris Wheel Morning Java. The yarn was so beautiful and soft, the colors so masculine and the flow of color change in the alpine stitch was perfect. A gift for my youngest nephew, I wanted to crochet a nice scarf, not just a scarf but a nice one for work or church and the alpine stitch was perfect but I was not! Took me 2 years to work it and pull out and rework it. I still had some rows that had a +1 or -1 that I couldn't figure out but it is so awesome that it was worth the work and with just a few rows off that I could see I hope he didn't notice and had a chance to enjoy it last winter. I think I need to give some thought to this blanket! Love this blanket and the stitch!!!
That was really thoughtful to make such a personal gift instead of buying a finished item to give. So kudos on that. I really like the texture of what this stitch offers as well.
Thank you so much for using the different types of yarn! I love this pattern
Some yarn is harder to see the stitchwork.
You make this look so effortless and so relaxing. I love it and I love your book.
Thank you so much! Have a great weekend.
You're videos are so easy to follow. I love that you give easy instructions for how to make it bigger or smaller. Always can count on coming to yours for great videos. I can start out, then just do it myself without a problem.
People will ask me if I don't figure it out in advance. People assume it should be always available. There are times where the sampler cannot be done but if I can, I will.
Thank you for doing this with both yarn sizes!
I can’t wait to start on this ! It will be my favorite Christmas present to give for sure ❤
And I was going to ask about a border but you got it covered!
Oh Mikey!! Once again you’ve tickled my creative juices lol love ❤️ it
So glad!
I just finished making a blanket as a Christmas gift for my dad. I used super chunky Big Twist yarn, and it was super easy and fun to make! Thank you for the clear instructions and for the video. I was suprised at the final weight of the blanket, but it's really nice and breathable (which is important as my dad overheats easily.)
My pleasure. I hope your dad loves it.
That pattern is absolutely beautiful and your instructions are expertise. Thank you
Thanks so much. Enjoy your Monday.
Wow that looks so fluffy ❤️
Love this.Going to make this today.thank you .You Rock.
Hope you enjoy
What a beautiful yarn and blanket. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
💚 A-Ha! No wonder my stitches was not smooth. I was doing TC post and SC stitch repeat. The posts were wobbly and not flush. THANK YOU for helping me on thus!
Oh... you had a AH HUH moment! That's wonderful.
Thank you for demonstrating with a non fuzzy #6 yarn as well as the fuzzy one. I like this pattern better with the non fuzzy yarn. 😊👍🏻
Yeah, it's the only way as this yarn is crazy fluffy
Another beautiful project. Thank you
It's the same as the Lush Blanket.... Love your great instructions Mike... Easy voice to listen to!
Thanks again!
This one is so pretty! I will use this pattern soon.
Wonderful!
Thank you so much! I have two beautiful bundles of white velvet but I didn’t know what pattern to use. I’m excited to make a snuggly scarf for a dear friend. 💜
You are so welcome!
😯 it's beautiful!!!! Love it!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you very much for sharing easy crochet stitch ! I will do one blanket for me .
You are welcome 😊
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure 😊
So clear and easy to follow…thank you
Thanks.
so gorgeous in the velvet
It's really lovely.
Thanks for doing both options. Love it!!!
Yeah, I knew I would be hammered in negativity if two options are on the same tutorial.
Brilliant tutor fir a beginner. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Nice pattern with this yarn. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome.
Wonderful. Thank you so much.
Thorough and clear. ☺️
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial and beautiful pattern.
Thank you! 😊
Great explanation of this pattern. I made it in 3 colors because I couldn’t find enough of the first color. Looked great. I will say that the first several rows were very floppy. Perhaps I didn’t hold the yarn tight enough but I also switched to only chaining two at the end of the row and from then on it was much tighter.
Thank you for the thoughtful tips and advice you left here.
Great instructions
Thats beautiful and cozy
Yeah it's really soft.
@@TheCrochetCrowd i wanted to use that yarn for my cat beds , but strangely they didn't like the texture , this one looks better xx
Vielen herzlichen Dank für die Mühe. 🌻
Das Muster ist wunderschön. 🤩🤩🤩
Liebe Grüße, Andrea
No problem. You are most welcome.
@@TheCrochetCrowd
Vielen Dank 🌻
Excellent! I’m going to make this but I bought regular Bernat Velvet in Teal.
Sounds great!
Beautiful sharing 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing and beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to make one.
Let us know how you make out.
I've used 3 of the velvets but not yet have I worked with crushed velvet. The velvets are the most luxurious yarns ever!
They feel scrumptious EH!
@@TheCrochetCrowd I've made my DIL one with Velvet Plus and she almost took the yarn from me and snuggled up with that!
luv ya Mikey......hope you and Dan are well.
We are. Thanks for the inquiry.
Thank you for your video I'm beginning of only do singles or double I'm going try yours looks simple and I'm sure after a couple I will have hang of it again thank you Florida USA Rainbow Chef
You are so welcome! You can do anything you set your mind too.
Thank you very much
You're welcome.
Thank you so much for this video! I have been searching for blanket patterns to make my children for Christmas and this will be perfect for one of them! Plus I learned a new stich!!
You are so welcome!
So cute
Thanks.
So helpfull... thank you
you're welcome.
Awesome
Thanks.
Nice. Lucious in the first fluffy yarn. Just "eh" in the purple yarn.
hehe. Purple would be nice.
Love your tutorials!! You make it so easy to understand the pattern! 😊🤍
Wondering what you think of using Bernat Blanket yarn for this stitch?? I have a bunch of this yarn and I just love what warm snuggly blankets it makes! What do you think?
Note: I see below that you already answered this for someone else! Thank you so much!! 😄
I would use Bernat Blanket versus Bernat Crushed Velvet that I answered to earlier this morning. That would be my suggestion if you have a choice. :) Michael
EPIC!
Thanks so much.
It does look like the sand bars at Sauble Beach! I hope that you went to Sandfest; 300-500 historic cars on the beach. I think that this stitch might make a lovely cozy shrug. What do you think? I try to watch all of your videos. You make them easy to follow so they are educational as well as fun to watch.
Is there a written pattern for this? I want to make it in Bernat Velvet, rather than the Velvet Plus, but the link you pinned brings me to a pattern for a star blanket
Wow what a beautiful blanket !
Yes, very plush.
Thanks Mikey for the alternate. Can't use the bulky and any bigger hook than 8mm. Arthritis!
I'm getting close to that same limitation myself. It's harder with a larger hook.
I used BERNAT BLANKET CONFETTI and turns out not what I expected, maybe because it is shorter width wise. But is very soft and heavy, but I am sure it will keep us warm!
Be sure to check your gauge and match the hook to the gauge.
Love this tutorial and really appreciate all the work that you do! In your opinion what Bernat blanket yarn work just as well for this? I just like working with Bernat blanket
Yeah it totally would! :D Just change the hook size to the ball band recommendation.
Great video. May I make a suggestion please? I think the video would have been even better if it began with the thinner yarn, and then showed the same thing with the bulky yarn. Then the demo with the bulky yarn would be perhaps easier to understand because it's hard to see the stitches with the bulky yarn. Nevertheless, a great video. Thank you. :)
It's a catch 22 for me. If I demonstrate with thin yarn, people want to see it with the real yarn. Then if I do real pattern yarn, they want the thinner. For me it's a losing opportunity when it comes to the fluffy yarn. You totally make sense though but I get complaints one way or another. I have a hard time brushing off the complaints.
Help!!! I love your video, you are so clear and the pattern is gorgeous. I have started off w/ the odd # of sts like you said, but when I go into the 4th stitch, now I have an even # of sts bc we use that st (ex: 17sts, go into 4th st but use that st is only subtracting 3 and that's 14 - right?)
I've watched your video 15x and redone the pattern 20x but it always turns out wonky. I looked the stitch up & the other videos say to start with an even # of sts, I don't know if that's a different version or I'm just screwing this up... I just know I am bummed I can't get this to work (& I'm not new to crochet)! If anyone has a thought on what I'm doing wrong, I am all ears! Thank you :)
Really Beautiful but way too advanced for me,😟 I need to learn to crochet first and maybe when I'm comfortable and feel confident, I will attempt it, it's Gorgeous 😁
Yes, this is an Easy Level which is one step up from beginner. You may be able to do it one day.
Hello Mikey, I am a few months late in viewing this beautiful pattern. I apsolutely love your videos. I thank you for taking the time to go step by step through the patterns for I can only crochet that way. I can't believe I found the Bernat Velvet Plus at a store called Ollie's Bargain Outlet for $4.99 each so I was able to purchase the 9 skeins in the Toasted Chocolate color. My question is can I use a 9mm M/N hook or an 11.50mm P hook since I don't have a 10mm hook? Thank you in advance for your responsed.
I don't know what Ollie's is but it sounds like a clearance centre. for this yarn, you could substitute the hook as you are suggesting. 9 mm would be good.
@@TheCrochetCrowd thank you, I will. Yes Ollie's is an outlet store in a couple of cities in the suburbs of Atlanta GA.
I am so excited to try this! What do you suggest for hook size and chain # for Bernat velvet yarn (not plus)?
Hi Mikey, thanks for the great tutorial. I am pushing my myself and using the Velvet Plus yarn, knowing that I am going to have to work mostly by feel.
I searched for a tutorial because in the stitch instructions it say to do the trip: two rows below at front of work, inserting hook from left to right. It's that an error in the pattern? I think we are inserting from right to left....anyway I tried it that way and it was very awkward. So glad for the tutorial.
It is from right to left. The designer may be talking about doing it left handed.
Without further ado... 😉
Hi Mikey, first of all, this pattern is so easy and I am loving it so far!! However, I am at the end of the first row of alternating treble front post dc’s and dc’s. You end yours with a trfp stitch and a dc, but the only “post” I have at the end of my row is that beginning chain. I did have an odd number of stitches (95) and I checked to see if I skipped any stitches, but it all looks accurate. Any ideas or suggestions of what I should do? I’m so confused as to why I ended up like that!! :/ Thanks!!
I’m sorry, nevermind, Mikey!! I realized that you end up with an even number of stitches after you complete row 1, and I had an odd number! I figured it out now, thank you again for a wonderful pattern!! I can’t wait to see how it turns out!! 😊
Thank you for following up after you had figured it out. It saves me a lot of time when a person figures something out and they already know the answer. I'm glad you were able to problem-solve this out. Happy New Year.
I love this design. Do you think you can slow it down just a little...thanks. If you can😉
You can actually slow me down by using the gear on the player window to change my speed. It's the only way to accommodate all requests for changing speeds. All youtube videos can be changed in speed, not just mine.
HELP. I am practicing this pattern before I use the velvet yarn. Is there a sample pattern/chart to use? I seem to get a hole on the odd numbered rows at the beginning. On even number rows is there a sc in the first stich along with the single chain? I appreciate the help. I just finished the velvety filet crochet baby blanket, it went very well, I'm very happy with it.
Just to clarify, the row is the length, so 67 chains is how long the throw will be? The number of rows determines the width?
Can you use Bernat blanket yarn with this? Will it still look nice?
Yes, you can. You can look up Lush Life Blanket which is the same pattern in Bernat Blanket if you prefer.
Hello! Is there a way to use 2 colors with this pattern? Like intermixed? Thanks!
Hi that's gorgeous! Is it heavy though?
It is yes.
You literally found a yarn out here
to make it harder for me. 😂
I am on row 5 and I see I’m about to “lose” my tail that was at the beginning. It pulled into the project should i start over? I pinned it for now but I think it could unravel.
Can I ask for a link to the yarn you are using here please? 😊 even better if it's possible to buy it in the UK. I've not come across yarn that so soft and fluffy as this 😍
I have never crocheted in my life, but I want to make a blanket for my mother. She is helping me through a very dark time and I want her to know that I love her. Can I follow this tutorial using the Bernat Crushed Velvet Yarn? Will it turn out the same? How much yarn should I buy? The one I’m looking at says “Size: 300 g/10.5 oz, 288 m/315 yards,” is that alright for a single blanket or should I get a couple more? If anyone could help me out, that would be super cool :)
It will but you need to reduce the hook down to 5 mm / H hook if you are going to do that. You will need to review the stitch multiple to adjust for the size. A blanket may take 4 - 5 balls of you are doing the crush velvet but that's just a guess.
Hi Mikey! With the textured side up, my right edge has gaps where the chains are. Is there a way to fix this?
This is normal for crochet BUT if you substitute Ch 3 at the beginning of a row to ch 2 instead, that will compress it and reduce the spacing. So there is a fix.
This has become confusing for me but I think I figured it out now
I'm so sorry about that.
@@TheCrochetCrowd no worries, but I can see my stitches😆
Can you do this pattern with the bernat blanket yarn?
Yes, use a 10 mm or N hook size.
Do you keep extending it to the size you want by going for longer at the start
Yes. Stay within the multiple number so it works.
Do you do a border when you finish? If so, what would you recommend?
You don't but you can do single crochet around if you wish.
Love the color. I can't find the color you used. What color was it called please?
All of our videos have the free patterns linked in the video description. I followed the link for you. Colour is called Icy.
Are using trebles just to get the height to compensate for the single crochet row? I'm not a fan of trebles and I'm wondering if I can just do a DC but pull up the loop to achieve the proper height so the blanket doesn't curl 🤔
Yes we are. However, if you want to try double crochet, you can do that as well. Just give it a try.
Can this blanket be placed in the washing machine on gentle/hand wash cycle? And in the dryer as well?
Just check the care instructions on Yarnspirations. He is a direct link to the yarn. www.yarnspirations.com/ca-en/bernat-velvet-plus-yarn/161256.html
if i want to use the bernat blanket yarn, should i buy the same amount of yards or more?
You would more yards as Bernat Blanket is smaller in weight scale. This is the same blanket design in Bernat Blanket. You will notice chain count different. ua-cam.com/video/Q37RiGkckzE/v-deo.html
@@TheCrochetCrowd Thank you
Hello from the Prairies in Canada! I'm having a problem. I'm using Bernat Blanket No. 6 (Super Bulky) yarn. With Right Side of the work facing me, the 'right side' of my blanket where the 'chain 3' begins the pattern, is really stretched out. I don't know what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks!
You could just ch 2 if it's overly stretching instead if you find that helpful. Sorry for my delayed responses. There are 1000's messages to get through.
If i do this with tshirt yarn and make a play mat for my baby?
You sure could.
How do you tie on a new ball with this yarn being so slick?
I would tie the strands together with about a 4" long end on each strand. Then use a tapestry needle to weave in both ends separately. That's what I would do.
Thank you
That looks so beautiful but I don't think I could cope with not being able to see the stitches easily x 🤔
Ah... Understandable. As an experienced crocheter than I am, my finger tips tell me where the stitch is. I watch more TV than looking at my work as I have learned to feel the stitches and it comes automatically.
@@TheCrochetCrowd Wow! I've been knitting for 60 years but I only learnt to crochet 18months ago and I absolutely love it. I love watching tutorials, that's how I've learnt x
for the treble, when you dip down, I see you wrap the yarn around the hook sometimes twice and sometimes 3x....help me? :)
Treble should be twice. It's possible my mouth and hands didn't align as I am focused on many things during filming and can do the wrong thing with my hands.
@@TheCrochetCrowd Perfect - thank you for the clarification - love your videos, enabling me to do the 'impossible'! :)
Would the bernat crushed velvet work?
Fir sure. Adjust your hook to match.
Thanks, I just love your videos. I’m kind of new to crochet sort of. I took a 34 year break and am just getting back into it. I’m almost done with your textured afghan and it’s amazing!
I dont get what back hump is in row 1
Some call it the back loop of the chain if that helps you.
