Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 січ 2019
- Possibly the easiest and fastest crochet blanket! Ideal for beginner and also a great stash busting project. I decided to add this version after receiving so many messages asking what to do if you couldn't get your hands on super chunky yarn... So here we are, my most popular tutorial - version 2!
This beautiful stitch looks so great and gives a lovely, textured look for blankets and other projects, it's very dense and thick and wonderfully soft! You can use multicolours or you can simply use multiple strands of the same colour, they choice is yours..!
I am using 6 strands of DK yarn and a 15mm hook, the colours I'm using in the tutorial are Scheepjes Colourcrafter in Weert, Lelystad, Heerlen, Leien, Leek and Hayfield Spirit in Sundown. You can buy all of your supplies HERE with great international postage rates too! : www.snufflebeanyarn.co.uk?ref=2
The possibilities are endless when it comes to colour combinations, I have made lots and will be sharing more photos on my Instagram!

That looks so warm and cozy. It makes me want to wrap up in it in front of thee fireplace and take a long nap.
Absolutely! It’s SO thick and cosy! 🔥 😍
Finally, a video on how to make a blanket on a budget. The blanket yarns I have seen are so expensive especially here in the UK. I will definitely purchase lots of DK yarn - I like the idea of a giant ball of yarn.
I found a very easy way to keep yarn skeins separate for this kind of project. Go to a place that sells a lot of wine and ask for the box that a case of wine comes in. They usually have a cardboard insert that keeps the bottles from hitting each other. This insert has 6 to 8 divisions that are the perfect size to hold a skein on end.
That is such a great idea
Great idea ! I think I need a glass of wine now 🍷🤣
Thanks!!
Brilliant!
Beautiful! I love the way the colours all come together. Happy, happy colours 😊
I've worked with multiple strands a couple of times but never thought to roll them all into one before I begin 😀
Thanks for sharing 👍
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
I believe I will make them for my future grandchildren for their nap times in pre-school.
What makes a perfect crochet blanket is the edges and it goes with all crochet projects. I enjoyed your video. It looks hard to but it actually easy to do. 😊
Thank you. I have had to order super chunky from the UK as it's difficult to get here in Australia. I can't believe I didn't think about using multiple strands. How brilliant. Bless
Brilliant idea! You are really very creative! Thanks a ton for sharing such a beautiful video!
This is one of my favorite patterns for a blanket!
Gorgeous blanket....love the colors!
I absolutely love mixing yarns… I often make my constant white…add in various colors..and you get abn icream look. So nuce and squishy, too. ❤
So true! Sounds great 🥰🧶
I thought this was a wonderful video. Rolling the multiple strands in one ball was something I wish I had seen before my last double strand project that drove me crazy trying to detangle skeins. I love the general pattern. It is simple but has such a beautiful texture. Using many strands of any budget color allows the user to create an endless array of beautiful eye-catching color combos. Also the bulky weight of many strands looks like it is almost self-blocking. What a great method to rapidly create a gorgeous gift baby blanket!
It’s beautiful Rebekah! Thanks for sharing!
I love this. I am going to use it to make a pocket shawl. I think it will be nice and snuggly. Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish you much peace, love, and happiness.✌🏻💐🐾🧵🇺🇸
I luv all the colors. So cheerful and relaxing... great choice
Came across your Sight this evening !
It's Just was what I was looking for a while now !
with The Thick Wool I have for a Couch Pillow Cover !
This Pattern is Beautiful ! Am Excited to get Started !!!
Plan on a Throw on My Bed Too ! Love It !!!!
Thank You SO much ! One Very Happy Person ! ❤️👍
Gorgeous! Love this idea! Definitely putting it on my list of things to try!
Hi just want to say I luv that awesome blanket 🙂🙂 i crochet 2 strands together all the time as i luv the thickness of the wool 🙂🧡 thanks so much for your teaching on crocheting as i have learnt so much from you 🧡🙂
Definitely going to give this a try as I have loads of yarn to use in multi coloured projects,thank you as always your patterns and tutorials are so gorgeous and tutorial easy to follow have so many of your patterns written to go back when I finish the three items I am working on at present!
This is the most beautiful blanket I ever saw! This will be my next project, after I finish the blanket I am currently working on. And I will also make a smaller version for my cats, they will love the tassels :o)). Thank you for sharing this with us :o)
Love it! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Just love this pattern and your blanket colors are beautiful. Thnku for sharing. 🌹
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!! I love this. I am using two different Mandala yarns plus a Mandala Sparkle and it is coming along beautifully. I am making it for a gift but I really want to keep it LOL. This is the best blanket ever!!!!
LOVE it!! I will be doing this soon. Thank you for sharing.
It’s beautiful 😍 I just love it.
Absolutely love this blanket, but especially, I learned your turning method instead of the typical chains. Super excited about this, so thank you ever so much! You’re a fabulous tutor speaking proper English - I find American tutorials harder to understand as I am not a native English speaker. Tusind tak 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Great idea wth the yarn now I can start winding all my 8 plys in storage I hve my 15mm hook already 👍
In 4 words..LOVE IT VERY MUCH.!!
Wow. That looks fabby! 👌 👍👏💞
Those yarns look really pretty all together!
Thanks as I’ve decided to try 2 yarns strands for a baby blanket.
Very pretty, thank you for sharing ❤️
Love this pattern have loads of yarn to use up,have been making various blankets and throws,cushions etc for my recently married daughter and their brand new home,they have several projects that I have done for them already,but this is definitely another project I can make for them ......once they have furnished their home bit by bit! Thank you for your tutorials and easy instructions,one thing for sure I will have to figure out how I will get all of my crochet finished projects to her as she lives in Ireland!!
Love this! One idea:: incorporate the ending length into your tassel, if you are making a tassel for each corner; this will eliminate the need for having to weave in all the ends...and I love all the talking/detail you provide in your videos...very thorough and precise which is perfect for teaching crochet (which can be a fiddly hobby); I find I need details through visual and audio; some tutorials one cannot even see the stitch into where the teacher is inserting the hook....so this is great.....will prob. find some yarn today to bring along on a trip coming up...
I really like this!simple and beautiful! 👍😊
Thats a perfect name! I thought along the same lines. It looks fruity 😻
Absolutely gorgeous 👏 👏👏
Glad to have stumbled on this, wanted to make a king size+ blanket in merino and haven’t been able to really find large merino yarn, a bulky that is really a heavy worsted is all I’ve found. Never thought of using multiple strands together.
Love the pattern as well!
I just love this!
This is a lovely pattern Rebekah, and the colours are amazing.
Thank you very much for this lovely tutorial.
Hope you and your lovely family have a very bless week end.
I hope you don't mind me saying this. I feel I have gained a lovely friend in you.
Blessings from Essex
💐🌹🌻🌼🌸🌈🙋
WOW - very pretty 💖
Gorgeous
wow great tutorial, thank you!
Thank you that would be grand if you do video on making a big ball with the 6 yarns. I'll get my 3 big sons my daughterand husband to do the hard work.
Ann Marie xxxx
Yes. I would love to see a tutorial on making a ball of yarn with multiple colors as well. I have a back of left over yarn that would be great for this project.
oh so wonderful! thank you :)
very nice - good video 😃
Thank you for this wonderful vid. I am making it now. I have a suggestion (for beginners like me) make sure you are showing where the hook goes in each time, and make sure you are closer to the camera. Sometimes I could not see and was confused.
I did start to make a larger blanket but found that 6 strands tended to twist and pucker even though I used giant balls of prewound yarns,so for me I think I will have to stick to a smaller project, saying that I think I had to use a crochet hook several sizes smaller so possibly that made a difference,but absolutely love this tutorial, and thank you as always for such easy to understand tutorials.
Multiple strands works with any pattern and have used this method several times. It makes great afghans out of leftover or partial skeins of the same yarn weight. Especially good for use in baby blankets when you want a soft blanket for a child to lay on when you (or gift recipient) have a hard floor.
Yep! Working with multiple strands is great, and you're right, you can use this technique with any pattern and the finished item is so thick and beautiful!
Rebecca this is very beautiful wow Lucy is going to be so snug and warm 😍😍 love this idea 😍😍 thank you for another fab tutorial
She loves it Lorraine! It’s the softest and squishiest blanket ever! 💗🌈
Blossom Crochet aww it looks it too. Bless her 💖💖
I made this and I love it
Love the both. Thank you.
Love this !! So helpful !
easy easy easy I want to difficult one :D joking all are difficult for me ;) thank you showing so detailed 💚💛🧡
Lol
I am making this blanket now and loving it. I have taught myself to crochet recently largely due to your wonderful tutorials, so thank you for that! Could I ask, if I use Aran wool how many strands and what size hook would you recommend to get a similar effect? Also could I do a granny blanket with multiple strands? Thank you again for your brilliant videos!
What method do use to change colours at end row I usually use the magic knot but can be difficult to gauge when to make magic knot so that you start next row with the 3 different coloured yarns? Absolutely love this pattern and thank you for all your fabulous patterns and easy to follow tutorials, even though I still make some mistakes and have to unwind or start from beginning again!
Hi I love all of your blankets. You give a great tutorial. Can you please tell me how I can make sure the ends stay straight on both sides. It’s my first blanked💕💕💕Thank you
Such a very pretty stitch! 👍
Look very hard I love it
Hi, it is such a pretty pattern I just can't wait to get started and also to see the finished product.
I am planning to make a throw of the same pattern with 4 strands of 8ply multicolored yarn ...should I go for 10mm hook or 15 mm ...and also if you could give me an approximate amount of yarn required for a 52"*60" throw
Thanks
Absolutely beautiful. What an idea you're so creative. Any tips on getting the 6 yarns into the 1 ball?I'd prefer to work from the 1 ball. So delighted you did this. I voted for it. I have my 15mm hook and loads bought it today in hope you'd do this. Can't wait till get started.
Ann Marie Murphy xxx ( From Ireland)
Hi Ann, you just go as if you're making a normal ball but it will just get HUGE! It will kill your thumb and wrist but it's worth it. I hope to do a really quick video showing how to do it soon, if it would be useful.
How many yards of each color do you need for this? And what size blanket did this make? Sorry is I missed the answers already
This video is fab! Roughly how many balls of yarn would you need for a single or double blanket? Thanks!
I love both of them. I personally would rather the super chunky yarn than use 6 strands.. I don't do well with multiple strands of yarn.. but it does create a very pretty effect.
🌺
What a lovely blanket and it looks like fun! I'll be ordering the same 6 yarn colours that you used in the video. How many of each skein did you use? I've been using your videos to relearn crocheting. My grandmother taught me when I was a young girl and I had forgotten. I am enjoying your teaching so very much! Thank you.
Hi was wondering could this be done in an Aran weight yarn as well love your method of using all the strands together love your tutorials looking forward to your bobblle pattern, bless your talent,lm 70 years young and crocheted all my life it's great to see someone young so talented and with the same love of crochet, xxxii😊😊😊
Hi Deborah, thanks so much! Yes you could use any yarn that you like or have in your stash! It would still work beautifully.
And the Bobble Tutorial is live on my channel now and you can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/aFCHvv5dc7I/v-deo.html
Thanks so much xxx
Hi. I want to do one of these but longer (for a blanket). Can you tell me how many 100g balls you used for this project please? I have just ordered by 15mm hook. Thanks
Brilliant! Quick question, how many individual balls of each of the 6 strands have you used? I'm thinking of doing this with a few leftover balls. Thanks!
Exactly how my mother had taught me as a little girl, 💞🍷
The yarn is standard size worsted yarn? Medium 4? I'd like to confirm so I can buy the correct yarn. Beautiful blanket! Love this! Thank you.
Beautiful!!! Question: is putting this at the foot of the bed simply decorative? Or does it have a purpose beyond that?
I made this as a decorative piece at the request of my daughter for her bedroom, but I have since made much larger ones as full throws/ blankets 🌸☺️
@@BlossomCrochet thank you SOOO much for your reply! Very beautiful! No doubt a beautiful and warm throw as well!💜💜💜
Do you have a video of how you made the mixed yarn strands into a big ball like your did with the six colours and made it into a ball instead of pulling as you go along because i tried pulling whilst going along and it just gets all tangled up
Beautiful blanket. Has anyone found a video or site where there are more examples of what people have made using this method? I've found lots of tutorials but they hardly show a finished blanket. Want some inspiration for a grown boy blanket. Thanks
How do you make the chunky tassels?
Sorry you said where you got your 15mm hook 😋
can u please show us how to make big ball of wool
How much wool for single bed size please
@blossom crochet. Is it possible that you can do a video on how you merge several strands of yarn into a ball of yarn?? Is it easy or the process is a bit troublesome? Thx!
I found a video where a woman was creating her own yarn ball using scrap Yarn. Look up how to create your own yarn cake or ball.
I’m a little confused with the stitch numbers. Eg. If I foundation chain 100 Will there always be 100 stitches to crochet into on the subsequent rows?
Amazing tutorial thank you. If I use 4 strands of DK wool, could I use a 10mm crochet hook ? Thanks in advance xx
Hi Liz, that would be perfect!
@@BlossomCrochet Great thank you very much 😊 xx
Is there 3 loops on the last full stitch of the second row?
How many strands of medium (4) weight yarn would you suggest? I did not know what DK meant...so I bought 4-medium yarn before looking it up. I think DK yarn is considered 3-light yarn?
I bought a blanket made just like this at a thrift store for $5.00 . There are 5 strands of yarn used. It is very heavy and I use it almost every day.
what is a good border for this baby blanket?
Thanks for the tutorial I'm ordering a 15mm. You sound local to me warringtonian? 😂 👍
I am local indeed! Grew up in Widnes 😊
How many yards of yarn will I need to make a throw?
How many yards of yarn dow we need, approximately, to make a 50X60 blanket?
Another fab tutorial. Could this stitch be used with just one strand of dk or does it have to be a chunky yarn?
Hi Emma, you can use as many or as few as you like.. the pattern will still give you the ridges but just not as thick 😊
How much yarn did you use for this project? You mentioned the colorways but not the actual amount you used. Thank you.
How much wool is used
how many skeins total for the completed project
Do you find using multiple strands means you use MORE balls of yarn or LESS than you usually would with one strand? I want to try 3 strands with a 6mm but I'm scared incase I run out of yarn 😂
Would this work up alright if I were to do it with 3 or 4 strands instead of 6, and using a 10mm or 15mm hook?
Yes it would work nicely, I would suggest a 10mm hook for 3 or 4 strands :)
I do that all the time. I join 2 strands together.
Luv this. But ive got one question. Wuts the best way to keep ur multiple yarns from getting all twisted and knotted as u go?
It’s MUCH easier if you take the time to wind it into the big ball first. I know it’s annoying to do it but it makes it much better to work with and doesn’t get all twisted up as you do your stitches 😊
Find a Ball Winder at Michael's and use a 40 off coupon; this helps in winding yarn into balls.
So maybe 3 or 4 stands of worsted ??
Hello, where did you get your 15mm hook from? 😁 Erica x
Look on Amazon, Wal-Mart, etsy, hobby lobby, Michael's, Joannes
That is beautiful my favorite blanket as a beginner crocheted but what is DK yarn.
I am a beginner don’t laugh. LOL
DK just stands for ‘double knit’ 😊
Blossom Crochet Thank you so much. Have a merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year and again thank you for all the beautiful patterns, your instructions are great, love your voice very ez to follow. Regards, Donna. Thanks for the quick response
What of you didn't want the wavy part. Could you keep everything else you're dping the same and just ho through the whole top loop?
Yes absolutely 👍🏻
Are there written instructions?
You said DK yarn what is that?
