    🔥 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...

    Love doing this sort of colour change. Been doing it for 60 years. And it does look lovely when one of the yarns is a variegated. Made a wheelchair shawl with five colours and a coordinating multi coloured yarn. Very comfy. Just need to find someone to give it to.

    I recently found your channel looking for a granny square tutorial, after looking at numerous tutorials, my granny squares weren’t looking right. As soon as I followed yours, it’s turned out perfect and now I’m making my first blanket while in isolation, so I just wanted to say thank you! Can’t wait to follow your other videos 🥰

    This blanket is gorgeous Robin. I'm going to try this, but, I think I'll carry the necessary yarn up the side and put on a border. I hate sewing in all those tails ♥️

  • @rosesmile1362
    @rosesmile1362 4 роки тому +10

    Amazing idea!
    I would use magic knots when I change colors though to avoid weaving ends and it would make keeping the tension at the end of rows easier.. Amazing idea as usual 👏👏👏 Thanks a lot for sharing your inspirations 🌷

    Beautiful blanket! I have made several with this same process in the past but it has been a great while. I'm so happy for this reminder as each one is so lovely. My favorite color combinations have been the highly contrasting colors. Bright red, deep purple, chartreuse, orange, turquoise, bright yellow!

    It is so addictive, I’m at row 20 already. I was needing some inspiration as past few weeks I just seem to have brain fog on what to crochet.
    You explain things so well Robin, and I’m sure a beginner would be able to follow your pattern and video easily. Thank you for taking time to make these videos, Some tutorials seem to over complicate patterns, but you explain things (in my opinion) very clearly.
