Yes, absolutely! If you're a tight crocheter, using a 5mm hook can help create a looser, more comfortable tension. Feel free to adjust the hook size based on how the stitches look and feel as you go. Happy crocheting, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions!
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you. Just checking do you have a written pattern that I can follow along with your you tube video. It is a great youtube tutorial. I am not great with chains and better working from a magic circle. 😊
That sounds wonderful! Using a size 9 hook should give your project a nice texture and drape. As for the size, it's always a bit of a surprise until you finish and measure. But a common size for a baby blanket is 90 by 90 cm.
I'm glad you love the pattern! 🥰 Curling in crochet projects, especially when working in the round, can be a common issue. It's often caused by the tension and stitch combination you're using. Here are a few tips to help reduce or eliminate the curling: Tension: Make sure your tension is consistent throughout your project. If your stitches are too tight, it can cause the work to curl. Try to maintain a relaxed and even tension. Blocking: After completing your project, blocking can help relax the fibers and shape the piece. Wet blocking involves dampening your work and then pinning it into shape, allowing it to dry in the desired form. Hook Size: Experimenting with a larger hook size may also help. A larger hook can create looser stitches, reducing the tendency to curl. I hope the advice really helps. Happy crocheting! 🧶😊
This very pretty. Definitely going to be a project in the near future. Could make several different things with this. Thank you for such clear instructions & for sharing this. I subscribed too.

I’ve been making a baby blanket with this pattern, it started to bunch up on the ends around row 7 or 8 and I’m not to sure if it’s a trust the process type of thing or if I’ve done something wrong, but it’s like with more rows I add it starts getting very ruffled
It sounds like you might be experiencing tension issues or unintentional increases in your baby blanket. Here are some common reasons for a project to bunch up or become ruffled, particularly towards the ends: Tension Consistency: Ensure that you maintain a consistent tension throughout your work. If the tension is tighter or looser in certain sections, it can lead to uneven edges. Stitch Count: Double-check your stitch count in each row. Make sure you are following the pattern correctly and not accidentally adding or skipping stitches, especially at the ends. Blocking: Once your baby blanket is finished, you might consider blocking it. Blocking involves wetting the project and shaping it to the correct dimensions. This can help even out stitches and eliminate any unwanted bunching or ruffling. Hook Size: If you notice that your project is getting ruffled, it might be worth checking if you're using the recommended hook size for the yarn and pattern. Using a larger or smaller hook than suggested can affect the drape and tension of your work. Increasing Correctly: If the pattern involves increases, make sure you're placing them in the designated spaces and not inadvertently adding extra stitches. I hope that you find the solution to the problem. Happy crocheting! 🧶
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled to hear you found the video helpful and easy to follow. If you ever have any questions or need tips, feel free to ask. Happy crafting! ❤️✨
Yes, exactly! After completing round 6, you can continue repeating rounds 5 and 6 until your blanket reaches the size you desire. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy crocheting, and enjoy creating your blanket! 😊🧶
You're welcome! For a baby blanket, you'll want a soft and cozy yarn that's also easy to care for. A light or medium-weight (worsted) yarn is a good choice, such as a yarn labeled as "baby yarn" As for needle size, it depends on the yarn and your personal tension, but typically a US size 7 or 8 (4.5mm-5mm) needle works well with worsted weight yarn. Happy crocheting on your blanket project! 😊👶🧶
I've actually never thought about that. My approach has always been to keep crocheting rounds until my blanket is the size I want. for a baby blanket it is approx. 90x90 cm. I don't spend time counting the rounds at all, but just use my measuring tape to measure the blanket as I go.😊
Obrigado pelas belas palavras. Parece um projeto incrivelmente lindo, então você quer realizá-lo. Desejo-lhe boa sorte com o projeto e um bom fim de semana para você🥰❤️
I love this this tutorial! I just started crocheting again after more than 20 years. My first blanket was so pretty with your help! One queston...My edges were very wavy and the middle curved in. I know that has something to do with tension. Any suggestions?
I'm so glad you loved the tutorial and that it helped you create such a beautiful blanket! It’s wonderful that you’re back to crocheting after so many years. For your wavy edges and curving middle, here are a few suggestions: Tension: Try to maintain an even tension throughout your work. Practicing consistent tension can help improve the overall look of your squares. Blocking: This helps to smooth out any waviness Hook Size: Sometimes using a different hook size can help with tension issues. If your work is too tight, try using a slightly larger hook. If it’s too loose, try a smaller hook. I hope these tips help! Keep up the great work, and happy crocheting! 🌸
How would i go about wanting to make a twin sized blanket with this pattern? Multiple squares, one big one, im not sure how to do this but i want to make this into a twin sized blanket. Would i be able to do multiple squares then connect them and add a thick border or make one big one and add soem squares to the sides to make it rectangluar?
That sounds like such a fun project! 😊 Yes, you can absolutely make a twin-sized blanket by using multiple squares. You would crochet enough squares to match the width and length of a twin bed, then connect them using your preferred method (like whip stitch or slip stitch). Alternatively, you could make one large square and add smaller squares along the sides to make it rectangular. Either approach will work! Just make sure to measure as you go to ensure the size is just right. Good luck, and happy crocheting!
Hi! I'm glad to hear you're able to do the stitch! 😊 As for the hole, it might happen if the chain is a little loose or the double crochet is pulled too tight. Try tightening up the chain just a bit, and make sure your double crochet isn’t too snug. It might take a bit of experimenting, but you’ll get it! If you need more help, feel free to ask. You’re doing great! 🌸✨
Hello there I am a beginner at crochet, this is a beautiful pattern I wanted to ask you when you mention that after round 6 you can make as many rounds to complete de blanket but can you explain if you go back to repeat from round 3 and on? I am just confused as to what to do next ? Thank you
Hello! I'm so glad you're enjoying the pattern! 😊 After round 6, You’ll continue working the same pattern repeating the last two rounds, adding more rounds to build your blanket. The idea is to keep increasing the size of your blanket until your blanket is as big as you want it to be. You’re doing great, and keep up the awesome work! 🧶❤️
Hi thank you very much for your kind words. To change color I would attach the new yarn to one of the SC in between the shells. Good luck with your project😊❤
Would you please tell me how much yarn I need for a baby blanket as well as the crochet hook size that you used? Thank you very much! Your tutorial is very easy to follow. ❤
I'm so glad you found the tutorial easy to follow! 🥰 For a baby blanket, the amount of yarn you'll need and the hook size can vary based on the yarn weight. Here are some general guidelines: Yarn Amount: For a standard baby blanket, you typically need about 800 to 1000 yards of yarn. Crochet Hook Size: The hook size I used is a 4.5mm (US 7) hook, but you should always check the yarn label for the recommended hook size and adjust based on your tension and desired blanket texture. Always make sure to do a gauge swatch to ensure your stitches match your desired outcome. Happy crocheting, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the tutorial! ❤
Hi I used Drops Merino Extra Fine. DK Light worsted Weight yarn. This yarn is easy to work with and has a nice smooth surface so the stitches are clearly defined.
Can this pattern be used with thicker yarn? I would love to use this pattern but the yarn i have is thick. Wondering if that will take away from the beauty of the pattern
Absolutely, you can use thicker yarn with this pattern! It might give it a chunkier look, but that can be beautiful in its own way. Just keep in mind that the finished piece may turn out larger. Happy crafting! 🌟
Thank you so much for your compliment, I really appreciate it! However, I'm sorry to say that I don't have the pattern written out for this particular design. I apologize for any inconvenience.😊 If you have any other questions or need help with anything else, feel free to ask!😊❤
Hello, this is my first crochet project for over ten years and it is now almost ready. And the little baby is born. I’m wondering if you could recommend a border for this blanket? Many thanks.
Hello!🥰 Congratulations on completing your blanket project and on the arrival of the little one! How exciting! This baby blanket pattern naturally forms a beautiful seashell pattern at the edges, so I will therefore just leave it as it is. Feel free to experiment with different stitches and colors to see what complements your blanket design best. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and I'm sure it will turn out beautifully! Happy crocheting! 😊
Hi🥰 This pattern is crocheted in continuos rounds until it has a size of approx. 90 x 90 cm. or whatever you find suitable for a baby blanket. For this purpose, you need approx. use 9-10 skeins of 50 grams. If you use sport weight yarn. Best of luck with your project😊
Absolutely, using three colors can give the flower granny square a beautiful and vibrant look! It’s a great way to add depth and interest. Have fun experimenting with your color choices! 🌸
This can happen sometimes if you use very thick yarn, or if the gauge is too tight for the yarn. You are not suposed to turn your work in this pattern. Best of luck with your project❤️
I totally understand! 😊 I wish I could show you the finished blanket too! Hopefully, you'll be able to picture it in your mind while you're working on your project. If you end up making one, I’d love to hear how it turns out or see a photo if you’d like to share! 🧶✨
It really depends on how big you wnat the blanket to be and the thichness of your yarn and gauge etc. I made a baby blanket in sportweight yarn that measure 70x70 cm and used about 350 grams of yarn. Godd luck with your project😊
Hi 😊 I have used both sport weight Merino wool and fingering weight alpaca and wool blend to make baby blankets with this pattern. They both turned out very nice😊

Try and go a half hook size up and loosen up your tension. Good luck🙏🌞
I'm so glad you loved the tutorial and that it helped you create such a beautiful blanket! It’s wonderful that you’re back to crocheting after so many years. For your wavy edges and curving middle, here are a few suggestions:
Tension: Try to maintain an even tension throughout your work. Practicing consistent tension can help improve the overall look of your squares.
Blocking: This helps to smooth out any waviness
Hook Size: Sometimes using a different hook size can help with tension issues. If your work is too tight, try using a slightly larger hook. If it’s too loose, try a smaller hook.
I hope these tips help! Keep up the great work, and happy crocheting! 🌸
How would i go about wanting to make a twin sized blanket with this pattern? Multiple squares, one big one, im not sure how to do this but i want to make this into a twin sized blanket. Would i be able to do multiple squares then connect them and add a thick border or make one big one and add soem squares to the sides to make it rectangluar?
im using a size 6 crochet hook and 5,5 yarn for reference, or would a bigger hook be better?
That sounds like such a fun project! 😊 Yes, you can absolutely make a twin-sized blanket by using multiple squares. You would crochet enough squares to match the width and length of a twin bed, then connect them using your preferred method (like whip stitch or slip stitch). Alternatively, you could make one large square and add smaller squares along the sides to make it rectangular. Either approach will work! Just make sure to measure as you go to ensure the size is just right. Good luck, and happy crocheting!
If you're happy with the tension and the fabric feels good to you, stick with what you're using! It's all about personal preference. Happy crocheting!
Hello , I'm able to do this stitch ,but when I do the 4 ch and double crochet I always have a hole ,you haven't, I need help .thankyou .
Hi! I'm glad to hear you're able to do the stitch! 😊 As for the hole, it might happen if the chain is a little loose or the double crochet is pulled too tight. Try tightening up the chain just a bit, and make sure your double crochet isn’t too snug. It might take a bit of experimenting, but you’ll get it! If you need more help, feel free to ask. You’re doing great! 🌸✨
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thankyou .
Hello there I am a beginner at crochet, this is a beautiful pattern I wanted to ask you when you mention that after round 6 you can make as many rounds to complete de blanket but can you explain if you go back to repeat from round 3 and on? I am just confused as to what to do next ? Thank you
Hello! I'm so glad you're enjoying the pattern! 😊
After round 6, You’ll continue working the same pattern repeating the last two rounds, adding more rounds to build your blanket.
The idea is to keep increasing the size of your blanket until your blanket is as big as you want it to be.
You’re doing great, and keep up the awesome work! 🧶❤️
Beautiful pattern, if I wanted to change colours, where would I join in the new colour please?😊
Hi thank you very much for your kind words. To change color I would attach the new yarn to one of the SC in between the shells. Good luck with your project😊❤
Would you please tell me how much yarn I need for a baby blanket as well as the crochet hook size that you used? Thank you very much! Your tutorial is very easy to follow. ❤
I'm so glad you found the tutorial easy to follow! 🥰
For a baby blanket, the amount of yarn you'll need and the hook size can vary based on the yarn weight. Here are some general guidelines:
Yarn Amount: For a standard baby blanket, you typically need about 800 to 1000 yards of yarn.
Crochet Hook Size: The hook size I used is a 4.5mm (US 7) hook, but you should always check the yarn label for the recommended hook size and adjust based on your tension and desired blanket texture.
Always make sure to do a gauge swatch to ensure your stitches match your desired outcome.
Happy crocheting, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the tutorial! ❤
What wool did you use? I started it with DK but it was too 'woolly'. I changed to cotton and that didn't look right either. Love the blanket.
Hi I used Drops Merino Extra Fine. DK Light worsted Weight yarn. This yarn is easy to work with and has a nice smooth surface so the stitches are clearly defined.
What place will you add another color? Please
whenever you start a new round is a good place to add another color
What size hook was used did I miss that part?
Hi😊 I used a 4.5 mm. hook
Can i use. 5mm hook?
How would you sow these together to make a blanket?
To make a blanket you will just continue to make more and more rounds until the blanket is large enough approx 90x90 cm. 😊
Can this pattern be used with thicker yarn? I would love to use this pattern but the yarn i have is thick. Wondering if that will take away from the beauty of the pattern
Absolutely, you can use thicker yarn with this pattern! It might give it a chunkier look, but that can be beautiful in its own way. Just keep in mind that the finished piece may turn out larger. Happy crafting! 🌟
Do you have this pattern written out? It’s adorable! 😊
Thank you so much for your compliment, I really appreciate it! However, I'm sorry to say that I don't have the pattern written out for this particular design. I apologize for any inconvenience.😊 If you have any other questions or need help with anything else, feel free to ask!😊❤
How do i continue the rounds :/ im not sure how ..
You will just repeat the two previous rounds, only you will have more spaces and stitches to work nto for each round. Best of luck with your project😊
Thank you for sharing ❤
You are very welcome❤️🥰
What crochet hook size did you use?
Hi😊 I used a 4.5 mm. hook.
Does anyone know what brand and color of yarn that is?
Hi🥰 I used Drops Merino Extra fine, it is super soft and easy to work with❤
Hello, this is my first crochet project for over ten years and it is now almost ready. And the little baby is born. I’m wondering if you could recommend a border for this blanket? Many thanks.
Hello!🥰 Congratulations on completing your blanket project and on the arrival of the little one! How exciting! This baby blanket pattern naturally forms a beautiful seashell pattern at the edges, so I will therefore just leave it as it is.
Feel free to experiment with different stitches and colors to see what complements your blanket design best. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and I'm sure it will turn out beautifully! Happy crocheting! 😊
Thank you for your speedy response. It’s all finished now and it’s so pretty, such a delicate pattern.
Do you have a written pattern for this blanket? I can't sit at my computer & crochet. Love this pattern!
Sorry I do not have a written pattern, but dont worry after a few rounds, I am sure you will remember the proces.
After the 6th row what rows fo I repeat?
@@karinhenecke1286 was reading the commenets for the answer too, I wrote the pattern down but unsure which row to repeat
What yarn did you use?
I used drop baby merino for the blanket.
How many of these does it take for a baby blanket.? Also if you use wool doesn’t it have to be washed in cold water?
Hi🥰 This pattern is crocheted in continuos rounds until it has a size of approx. 90 x 90 cm. or whatever you find suitable for a baby blanket. For this purpose, you need approx. use 9-10 skeins of 50 grams. If you use sport weight yarn.
Best of luck with your project😊
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you for taking the time to answer
Do you think this would look nice if I used 3 colours?
Absolutely, using three colors can give the flower granny square a beautiful and vibrant look! It’s a great way to add depth and interest. Have fun experimenting with your color choices! 🌸
Has anyone put a border on this? What did you do?
The pattern itself creates a beautiful shell border 😊
This is amazing!
Thank you very much. How sweet of you😊❤🌺
After the 6th round, how do I continue the pattern?
You will just repeat the 2 previous rounds alternately.
@@AdoreCreaCrochet So repeat 5 and 6?
Does anyone else’s project keep rippling? As in, it won’t lay flat. Should I be turning my work each round?? Pls help
This can happen sometimes if you use very thick yarn, or if the gauge is too tight for the yarn. You are not suposed to turn your work in this pattern. Best of luck with your project❤️
@@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you!
Hej jeg kan ikke helt finde opskriften på din hjemmeside😊 kan du evt. sende mig et link hvis du ville være då rar?❤
Opskriften findes ikke på min hjemmeside desværre.
There is no link to the pattern, I also checked your blog this blanket is not on there
Sorry I do not have a written pattern for this.
Sure wished we could see the finished blanket.
I totally understand! 😊 I wish I could show you the finished blanket too! Hopefully, you'll be able to picture it in your mind while you're working on your project. If you end up making one, I’d love to hear how it turns out or see a photo if you’d like to share! 🧶✨
What hook size are you using :-)
I am using a 4.5 mm hook 🙂
How would I switch colors?
I'm sorry, but I haven't tried that yet with this design. So, unfortunately, I cannot answer that with certainty.
How much yarn is needed for this baby blanket, please?
It really depends on how big you wnat the blanket to be and the thichness of your yarn and gauge etc. I made a baby blanket in sportweight yarn that measure 70x70 cm and used about 350 grams of yarn. Godd luck with your project😊
What is the best yarn for this pattern??? I have tried a few but the pattern does not show like yours does. Please help.
Hi 😊 I have used both sport weight Merino wool and fingering weight alpaca and wool blend to make baby blankets with this pattern. They both turned out very nice😊
Im a little confused on how row 7 would go
Round 7 will be a repeat og round 5.
