- Опубліковано 3 чер 2024
- If you have ever wanted a soft, snuggly, cosy crochet blanket then chenille yarn, velvet yarn or blanket yarns are the best! HOWEVER, they can be difficult yarns to work with so in this video, I will show you the BEST and EASIEST crochet stitch to use with these yarns. I will show you how to crochet between your stitches (so no struggling to find the tops!), how to carry your yarn up the sides to avoid excess shedding of yarn tails AND how to crochet around your finished blanket to prepare for any border you fancy!

🔥 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...

Wondering about the textured border on this blanket? I used the Crochet Camel Stitch Border: ua-cam.com/video/lOICiUPC5vs/v-deo.html 👈🧶
OK thanks
After weaving in the ends I pull off the chenille which exposes the cotton threads and then sew them in and knot.
Will this yarn stop shedding after it is washed?
😊😊
Saaaaaaafffeeeee....I currently have 4 projects in my bag eyeing for my attention 🤣😂🤣😂
Eyeing my pile of blanket yarn like “do I *need* to start another blanket??”
To which the obvious answer is yes. Yes you do... LOL
😜🧶
after watching this video, i restart my halfway blanket that use 19 balls with almost 100g per ball😌
You can make mini blankets, like with super thin cotton sewing yarn and then use them as wall hanging 😅 saves space and sells nice als 'yarnpainting'
Hahaaaa!!! Me too!!
😅 🙋🏻♀️same
If I could kiss you right now I would. You have rescued me. I have started 3 times with this yarn and was so frustrated not being able to see the stitches. What you have shown makes so much sense. I searched a lot, even under bulky yarns to no avail. Thank you so much. All I wanted was a simple scarf. Thanks again.
You’re so welcome Harvey, I’m so glad the video helped!😃🧶
Robin, you are a lifesaver. after struggling with this yarn, despite loving it and persevering anyway, your super tips are now a game changer and I can't wait to make more chenille blankets this way now. Thank you so very much for your brilliant and helpful videos. ❤️
You're so welcome Katie, I am so pleased it has helped. Enjoy making your blanket.😃🧶
I know that you made this video a couple of years ago, but I so wish that I stumbled upon it a long time ago. I bought me some blanket yarn (that’s what we call our thick fluffy yarn here in the USA), and I was looking at a ton of videos on different types of patterns to use for this type of yarn. Your pattern is like a breath of fresh air! I love how easy it is,it works up quite easily, and the pattern is beautiful! You’re right, half double crochets do work up well with this type of yarn☺️!
Thank you so much, I am glad you like it!😀🧶
I have watched a number of tutorials for crochet patterns/stitches, however I find yours to be the most clear concise tutorials. Thank you!!
This makes me so happy to read, thank you Joe! 🥰🤗
You work so fast to me (a beginner) HOWEVER your tutorial has been the easiest to follow! I was having so much trouble after making my first stitch on figuring out how to continue on making multiple stitches lol! This will be the video I refer to from now on. 😭❤️ thank you!!!
If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😃 See this video on exactly how: ua-cam.com/video/LIRYwkkI_4Y/v-deo.html
This blanket pattern is right on time! Thanks for sharing. This yarn can be a challenge. I washed the 2 I made on machine delicate cycle and in dryer on no heat for about 10 minutes. All it did was fluff it back out. I laid on a sheet on the bed to finish drying. It was soft again!
It's definitely a challenge yes! Thank you for the tips about drying it too! 😀🧶
I accepted a new job as a nanny and I'm definitely making this for the little one that I'll be taking care of!♡
How lovely! 😍🥰
Fiiiiinallyyyyyy, best instructional video EVER. I finally learned how to work with two different yarns at the same time, and how to properly change colors. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. You Robin, rock. Thanks again. I’m so happy 😀.
Aw yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful! 🥰🧶
Also you can apply the same technique to more than 2 colors you can add as many as needed or wanted
@@angelalevander1883 I was wondering that. Since I already have like 20 skeins of chenilles yarn in many different colors. I might have like 8 different colors. I love this pattern and wanna try but couldn’t figure out how to do it with so many different colors.
@@HookedbyRobin Norma’s post is the reason I am going to watch this video! 😊
Can I just use one color to make this blanket?
Thank you! I bought enough chenille yarn to crochet a large afghan, and after several failed attempts with several different patterns I gave up and stashed the yarn. I pulled it back out after seeing this video and gave it one more try - and SUCCESS!! I'm well on my way to a beautiful afghan!! Thank you soooooo much! 💖
Really love how this looks! Thank you. ❤️
Beautiful blanket. Love the colours. Thanks for sharing.
So pretty Robin, great idea for this yarn! I make cat size blankets for a cat sanctuary/adoption place so going to dig through my yarn for chenille to make one of these for the cats. They're going to love it! 💜🐈⬛
You know ... Instead of weaving in those tails, you could just crohet over them the same as if they were the floats .... That way, they're less likely to work loose
I love this pattern! Thank you for sharing. Very simple for beginners too!
Thank you for explaining everything so well.
Absolutely very Beautiful stitch and colors are nice combo 💜
Thank you so much for this tutorial Robin!!! I have a bunch of pretty velvet yarn that I wasn't sure what I was going to make with it. Since this is, by far, the most informative tutorial about this kind of yarn, I now know what I'm going to make 😀
Thank you so much!! Besides learning the pattern, I learned so much additional info about the yarn and such!!
Thank you sharing! This is so good to know! Take care and stay safe!
I love this stitch. I use the half double stitch often in projects. Every stitch stands out with the color change. Thank you for sharing. 💜🙏🏻
Girl!!!! You gotta stop!!!! I think I've got 3,245,322,453 of your blankets started! Now I've got to start this one too! 🤪💜🇨🇱
😂😂😂🧶🙈
Excellent demonstration! Definitely saving this one and recommending to others. 😊 Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I truly appreciate learning this stitch
I really like this stitch! I also really like they way you show how to do it. Your instruction is very clear and I can see everything you are doing. Thank you!!
Love this simple pattern, it’s so pretty for this yarn. Thank you for sharing! Much love 💗
🥰🧶

A beautiful stich. Thankyou for sharing this Robin. I had some Bernat blanket yarn now I will also make this stich. Love ❤️
This is the stitch I've been looking for! I have Fluffy yarn like this that I bought to make a throw blanket, but couldn't find a stitch until now. Thank you for sharing this!
❤❤❤ love how you explain everything at just the right pace ❤❤❤
Thank you Nicola! 🥰😃
Beautiful work as always my friend!! I love your color choices so much. You're so good at picking colors!! Thank you 😊 💓
Such an awesome pattern. Thank you
Talk about perfect timing! I just ordered some chenille yarn to make a blanket for my neighbor’s young son and was trying to figure out a good stitch to make it with. Lovely tutorial, so clear and easy to follow! Thank you for sharing this! Now a new sub. 😁🧶
Thanks for this! Beautiful!😍 I think this pattern would be great for blanket yarn also.
Yes definitely!
Thank you! Thank you! Now I understand how to carry the threads.
Very nice, thank you for teaching us a new way to crochet chenille 🧶
Love the pattern! It’s such a beautiful stitch pattern. Thank you for sharing 🐰🐰
🥰🧶
Another great blanket stitch. This is so pretty. Thanks for sharing.
I am glad you like it Karen! 😃🧶
I've watched tons of tutorials on different techniques & patterns, but your instructions & descriptions are by far the best. I've got a few balls of bulky yarn in various colors that will be made into a verigated scarf for next winter. Thank you so much for the excellent tutorial. YES, I subscribed!
Thank you so much Shirley for such a lovely comment and for subscribing!🥰🧶
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!! Thank you Robin! 🥰
Beautiful! I am wondering if you can use a different yarn for this pattern.
Thank you. Thank you! My first Chenille blanket was a disaster. It was a nightmare trying to keep the chenille from worming. Love your beautiful blanket. You have inspired me to make another chenille blanket using your stitch pattern. Great tutorial!
Mine too.
Love the stitch pattern and colors you used. I'm not sure I'll make this using chenille (too many horror stories). I'm going to experiment with a #5 chunky yarn for a vest.
Outstanding video.
You have crocheted so really beautiful 🌹 and lovely Granny squares
Thank you for the tip for the corners. I'm making a baby blanket out of chenille type yarn. Will check out the Camel stitch video for the border.
Thank you for this easy pattern! Just started my great niece a blanket tonight using the HDC. I’m only using 2 colors and doing 2 rows before I change color. It’s coming out fantastic!!!
Thx Robin,these yarns can be difficult but so worth it.👍😊
🥰🧶
I love chenille yarn and never could find a pattern I really liked to use my yarn. Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful blanket.
Great stitch pattern!! Love doing HDC! That yarn is a perfect choice for a baby blankie, lap throw, etc! It’s so soft and cuddly! Thank you for sharing this wonderful pattern with us, Robin! 🤗
It's SO soft - like the back of a kittens ear! You can tell I'm enjoying a project when I actually start and FINISH a blanket 😂 That's a rarity in itself lol
You’re a genius!!! Love ❤️ the look of this! Thanks for your tips on working with this yarn.
🥰🧶
Thank you so much for this Robin. I've made many blankets with this yarn and like you said it doesn't keep its shape. Looks great with the colours you have used. Always love your tutorials. Thank you.X
Thank you so much. After one very difficult project with that chenille I stayed away from it for years. Now i'm ready to try again. I love the look and feel of chenille yarn
I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying doing this stitch!! It is so easy but looks so lush. Great tutorial and I can't wait to see my finished blanket. 😊
Thank you so much Lisa, I am so glad you are enjoying it.😃🤗
Absolutely beautiful 👏
🧶🥰
Thank you so much! I totally messed up my granddaughter’s blanket using this yarn! Because of your easy to follow directions, I’m going to try again ☺️
hi! nice color choice for a fella or a neutral decor. hdc is one of my favorite stitches. thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful blanket!!🤗❤
It's so so soft! Like the back of a kittens ear 😍
@@HookedbyRobin 😊
Just started crocheting, so I’m a total beginner, but this was so easy to follow. Thank you!!
I am so pleased it helps! 😃🧶
U make it look so easy! Thanks a bunch for posting all the stuff you do!💛💛
Thank you so much Jennifer.🥰
You speak well and teach well! Thank you!
Thank you so much Robin! Your videos are very thorough and you talk us through them as if you were actually in a class in front of us. You have a great deal of patience and posses great teaching qualities. This is a new stitch, a new texture of yarn, and a new pattern for me. 😊 I am so excited to create my first baby blanket w/border for my new grandson 🥰
Such a lovely comment, thank you so much Felicia! 🥰🧶
I agree with Felicia Moss. Your video very informative. I was thinking to use this stitch for cushion covers. Beautiful. Marieta from Pretoria, South Africa
This is the prettiest blanket I've seen with this yarn!!!!! I might make one now. Thank you so much for tutorial.
What a lovely compliment thank you!
Robin, I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS!!! Your THE BEST! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Joan, that is so kind of you! x

What a wonderful comment, thank you so much! 🥰🤗
This is so gorgeous! Now Chenille is the new yarn that I really want! I love all things Purple! I only know how to loom knit, but you did a wonderful job of teaching us! My goal is to learn how to crochet! Great job!!! 💜💜👍🏼👍🏼
She does the best tutorials! You will be crocheting beautiful projects before you know it. Honestly, there are many talented great people that do tutorials on UA-cam.
A tutorial that I need. I got a bunch of chunky yarns and don’t know what to do about them. Thanks for having a great tutorial and will definitely do this 🥰
This was very helpful and informative!
Thank you for this! I love how easy this is and how great the 3 color combo chenille looks and feels. My first time using this yarn but the project is going by so fast and looks great!!
It is so soft too isn't it?😍 Thank you so much for watching.x

I love to watch you crochet. Your tension and stitches are PERFECTION!
🥰
Honestly this is by far the best channel to learn new stitches.
Thank you so much Frank! 😃🥰
This is a beautiful pattern I will make this one next.
😀🧶
Your knowledge on working with the chenille yarn was very helpful to me. I have been struggling with different stitches, trying to find one that would work with the project I had in mind, and FINALLY I can continue it!!! Thank you for the tutorial!
I’m so pleased it helps Frances, chenille yarn is so lovely to work with once you know how.😃🧶
Thank you for this tutorial. I also appreciate you leaving in your struggles. ❤ This is a gorgeous blanket.
Thank you Shannon.🥰 Are you going to make one?
Love it!!! Colours are fab. Will be making this in winter😊
Thank you Jacinta.🥰
Brilliant! This is awesome! Your blanket is absolutely stunning. 😍. ☮💜🧶
Thank you so much! My daughter has stolen it from me already 😂
@@HookedbyRobin 😂🤣. Kids are just like that. 🤔
@@lisahartmann7236 rude aren't they LOL! 😂
Awesome! For some reason I have so much chenille yarn. Great stitch for it! Thank you
I do too! Not sure how I amassed it but it was certainly nice to put it to good use and make a dent in my stash! 😅
Hermosa! Gracias desde Uruguay 🇺🇾🥰
Just want to say Robin you are amazing at teaching crochet,love the step by step instructions you give ❤
Thank you so much Fiona!🥰🤗
Thank You! HDC is my favorite stitch! I've improvised on my prep for border and corners so far! Now I can proceed confidently! Your tutorial clearly demonstrates the best technique. Love this!
🥰🧶
Such a nice stitch! I always grab some cotton yarn to make a dishcloth when learning a new stitch...it is beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial.
Great idea!
I do too. I can learn a new stitch and have a dish cloth to gift or keep
@@patriciamcgarr3183 Yes, that's the idea!
Just learning to crochet & enjoying so far. Glad to find you for some extra in-depth tips!!!
Thank you Elaine, lovely to have you here.😃🥰
Thank you so much! Your tutorials are wonderful! Very helpful and easy to understand!
You’re so welcome Tamie!😃🧶
I love making this blanket so much I'm making 6, one for each of my family members for Christmas! 😊
That’s amazing! And super organised.😃🎄
@@HookedbyRobin that's why I'm starting now! LOL
Good plan! 😂
I just happened upon your channel and this is the best instructional video I have ever seen. I love making chenille blankets but I've only done them in knitting because crochet seems to be too tight without enough stretch or the stitches or to open. This design is absolutely beautiful, easy, and as you said works well with the shedding and weaving of chenille yarn.
So nice to have you here Candace and I am so pleased my video has helped you.😃
Want to say THANK YOU for this beautiful stitch and such amazing instructions! Lovely!!
I am so pleased you like it, thank you sue! 🥰
I love this pattern! I started a blanket a few days ago and I'm LOVING how it looks! It's so easy and just beautiful!
Thank you Carra!🧶🥰
I’m so happy I happened upon this tutorial! I bought several skeins of chenille yarn for weaving baby blankets, but OMG what a mess once I took it off the loom! Wondered whatever I was going to make with that yarn, but now I know - thank you!
I am pleased it has helped Diane.😃🧶
Robin you are amazing, not only do I love every one of your projects and pieces but you explain everything so nicely. Thank you very much, you've helped me immensely with my crochet journey. Lots of love from Brazil
Awwh, thank you so much Isabela!🥰🤗
Thanks for very CLEAR instructions🤩
Thank you! 🤗🧶
You are awesome! Thank you for all your amazing tutorials ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Sharon!🥰🤗
I can’t believe how easy this is! I feel like I’m getting away with something because I’m such a beginner 😂 thank you for such clear instructions and empowering a total noob like me to make something pretty! 😊❤
It definitely easy once you know how Samantha 😃, I am so pleased my video helps.x
Pure genius. And what great timing for me. I was given three huge skeins of Bernat Crushed Velvet yarn and was struggling with different stitches of regular and Tunisian crochet and couldn't settle into any one of them because of the loops and other difficulties. I've done 3 rows and it's coming along like a breeze. So easy, fast and nice looking. Perfect! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Did u use hook size 6?
Thanks I'll buy more yarn tomorrow!
