@@AmandaJaneCrafts yes, I would like to make a rectangle blanket for my son . I'm confused on how to start . Some say start with 23 stitches others 33 and I'm confused how to go about it . If you could enlighten me ,I would appreciate it . I'm using bulky 6 yarn ,too which I know makes it a little bit more challenging. Thank you❤️😇

[@AmandaJaneCrafts]

The first step is to decide on the width of your blanket and to make a chain to that size stopping when you have a multiple of 3. You can then start the pattern from 4 minutes in. Just follow the same pattern and it will work up very quickly with bulky yarn.

Thanks , what’s side needles you using?🙏🙏🙏

I used a 4mm crochet hook and double knitting yarn. If you are using aran or worsted weight yarn then use a 5mm hook. Also remember that everyone crochets to a slightly different tension or gauge so you may want to go up or down a size of hook to suit your project. For a blanket the exact tension or gauge does not matter too much.

[@AmandaJaneCrafts]

I used a 4mm crochet hook and DK weight yarn but if you use aran or worsted weight then use a 5mm hook. If you are unsure then look at the recommended hook size on the paper band around the ball of yarn.

[@AmandaJaneCrafts]

I used a 5mm crochet hook.🙂
