i’m 13 and finally learning how to crochet. honestly this helped me so much. it relives so much anxiety and it’s kind of like a fidget to me, so thank you for helping me learn how to!! it means a lot. i will edit when i’m done making my blanket or half way or whatever with updates. i am making one a bit bigger than yours but not counting how many stitches because i lost track at the beginning lol, let’s hope it doesn’t turn out bad. :) edit: honestly it didn’t turn out that bad! it has some bumps and it’s a little uneven but for my first blanket, i love it.
I know this video is a few years old now but I just wanted to thank you for making this! You explained everything so clearly and it’s such a simple but pretty pattern. I’ve already made two blankets and I started my third. I’m a beginner so I’m really surprised at how well they turned out. Thank you again!
@@powellinaALDAYeach blanket I made was a different size, so it’s hard to say. I modified the pattern a bit to make a couple of my blankets a little wider and a little shorter (60 chains wide and about 40 rows). As a beginner, and wanting to take my time since it was a gift and I didn’t want to mess up, each row of 60 chains took about 10 minutes. So 6-7 hours for that size blanket. I think I used about 4 1/2 skeins of bernat blanket yarn.
I’m actually using this video as a general how-to-crochet. I appreciate the use of crochet terms and the great explanations. Since I was having trouble keeping my work straight at the sides, this has helped a lot.
I love crochet because if you mess up you won’t waste material and you can just un ravel your mistakes and try again! I haven’t finished my blanket yet but it’s such a fun project to wor on!
But sometimes it knots up and I have to cut it, but you can also use that cut up yarn for other things like stuffing for amigurumi toys (or stuff crochet toys)
I've tried to crochet many times and always give up because I get frustrated but your videos are super helpful! I'm making my first blanket for my baby due in 2022 ♡
This was my first crochet project ever and this helped a lot I’m getting another baby brother soon and I made this for him it was very helpful. THANK YOUUUU💖 My little brother loves it
Wow. I've never crocheted in my life but this definitely inspired me. I have TONS of wool - from my mom who was an avid knitter. It'll be lovely to put it to good use and make a lovely heirloom blanket for my granddaughter - who never met her great-grandmother. Thanks so much for this.
!!!!! I’ve been trying to make things using anything besides a single stitch and I could NEVER understand the tutorials and I gave up. I watched 3 minutes of this video and it clicked!! I’m so, so excited!! Thank you for this video!!!
If you’re looking for a good beginner video this is the one! I promise. I just made a nice adult sized blanket for my partner and I’m so happy with the results. I took my time with it and followed the directions and it came out beautifully. I wish I could add photos. Thank you for this video and being so clear!
@@bellacococrochet did you do a border for this blanket? I love this pattern but I usually make a border for blankets. What kind of border would you recommend?
I'm due next month and I've used this crochet technique for three baby blankets and two baby sleep bags already. LOVE how easy it is to understand and do. Thank you!
I've been trying to learn how to crochet a simple, basic baby blanket to nearly a year now and this is the only video I've found that I can actually understand
11 here! I’m currently learning this as I have been very sad and couldn’t go to school cause of COVID so I’m staying home and crocheting! I’ll have a fuzzy blanket to keep my company!!
I watched this about a year ago as I was planning on making a blanket for my boyfriend for Christmas. I used this baby blanket tutorial to make a queen sized blanket and it ended up turning out really nice. I haven’t crocheted since BUT I come back wanting to make a baby one for the future. Thank you ❤️
@@sophiadean2849 Hi :D I made a blanket for myself that is about 5 feet, but narrow so I only need about two whole balls of the white yarn and two of the purple (I used the same colors as her) and still had some left over! Hope this helped :)
I made my first blanket a few years ago and this video refreshed my mind! Thank you so much! I’m working on my second blanket now for my soon to be here son and I think I’ll make one as a gift for someone who’s having a baby as well
This was my first project that I did! Made it for my baby on the way! I am so happy and excited! Now I’m going to make one for my 18 month son that he can have during these cold winters here out west. Thank you so much!🥰

I used my free time during 6 rounds of chemo to make a blanket for my baby girl 💕 I'm now making myself a matching scarf with my leftover yarn. this pattern was super easy considering I haven't touched a crochet hook in about 10 years. thank you!!
I used this pattern with a wave border to make a baby blanket and pillow. I found using stitch markers on each end each time I turned made it easier to find the last stitch in each row.
My grandma, my mom, and my aunt all failed to teach me because they didn't slow down enough for me to get it... now I'm gonna learn. Once IK get the basics down, I think I'll make this my first project. :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! Easy to follow, simple yet detailed perfectly! I watched this on reply for a few weeks and practiced the single foundation chain and today finished the first half double row. As a mom of 2 littles under 3 I needed an outlet at night and this is definitely it! Very calming to listen too and follow along. Definitely will be searching this channel for other projects after this one!
My daughter who is 6 has been learning to crochet with her Grandma this summer and has loved your videos. She is making this baby blanket and is really enjoying it, thank you.
I have the same hooks they are fantastic! They feel great in my hand for hours. Also purchased the purple yarn a few months back. So happy to have a tutorial for baby blanket.
A year ago today I learned to crochet and do many projects by the help of mostly your videos and some others. I wanted to do it so badly at first and assumed there would be no videos on UA-cam and That I would have to take classes. I made lots of projects for friends, family and my animals that they love so much. I just want to thank you so much for uploading videos to youtube for everyone to learn. It made me realize how happy and grateful I am for some people who just want to spread information regardless if their is a price on it. I learned so much and I cannot thank you and so many others enough!
I had to restart 4 times because I was following a book at first, and then when I realized it wasn't working, I saw this video...but I didn't finish watching it, so even though it worked for a good bit, I missed som stuff and yes, had to undo it and start all over again...so it was a total of like 6 times I had to start over again. Once I followed the video almost EXACTLY I didn't have much trouble, and it came out pretty awesome.
Currently trying to learn to crochet, noticed my cat took an interest in my soft fuzzy yarn and decided I’m going to try and make him a blanket. This video was so easy to follow but my nails are slightly too long to work with right now so I’ll use it when my nails are shorter. Thank you for having such helpful videos. I’m a very impatient person but your tone of voice helps me relax whilst I’m crocheting. So again, thank you
instead of “honey where’s my super suit” it’s going to be “HoNeY wHeReS mY cRoChEt SuPpLiEs” 😂 (Edit) I DID NOT EXPECT THAT MANY LIKES THANKS YOU SO MUCH 😂💕💕
OMG thank you soooo much, I've been struggling with crochet for a while. I have a newborn baby cousin that is going to love this blanket. Little Claire will have a nice warm blanket hand made by her favorite cousin
I randomly thought oo lets crochet since I've been sick for the past week. I thought I was foolish but I told myself, let me find one youtube video that explains it well enough and looks good enough for me to follow. Saw your vids and popped my order for the materials right away. It came today and I am planning to make this blanket. My first yarn I ordered was Bernat Baby blanket and its soft and heavenly but my god is it chunky and hard to play with. But all day I've been playing around with it and got used to it. Now I plan to make this little blanket! Thank you so much. I love all of your videos, I can't wait to learn and see what I can make!
Absolutely love this pattern but I’m nearly finished with my first 300g yarn after only 6 rows! Will need more but I’m so excited to finish my blanket and give it to my niece for her first birthday !
Yeah I’m not sure how she claims only 600g to make the blanket.. I did make it slightly wider by like 10 stitches. I’m almost done 1 skein and it’s only the size of an adult scarf.
Thanks for the tutorial! I made a blanket (200cm x 180cm) for my boyfriends birthday. I've been working on it for a total of 2 months (and started over twice). I think I'll make one for myself too, because I really don't want to give it away! :)
@@fynn2614 I googled it and to make a 200cm x 180 cm blanket, it said about 28-30 Yarn Skeins are needed. I'm not making it yet coz its an approximate calculation but I'll be gald if this helps. 😊
@juulzxo, well done you for doing your blanket and we all have a little habit of getting some parts mixed up but so what 🎉you smashed it & dead right to keep the next one for yourself,you put the word into it and reward yourself. Iam going to make a baby blanket for my nephew's new little arrival so I'm hoping that l can do as good as you did🎉🎉😊Sorry what yarn did she use & what size knitting needles 🪡 only if you get a chance to reply🎉
This is soooooooo helpful, I have only been crocheting for a few week and I was able to get the knack of this way of making the blanket I have now finished and teaching my mum to do it too! ❤
I have also loved making this blanket. It was the first project that I have done in about 20 years. You explained everything so well verbally as well as showing each of the processes. Thank you for helping to building my confidence to continue learning. I am very hopeful that when I gift this blanket it will be well loved and appreciated.
I managed to get the first row but when coming to the half treble I got so stressed and couldn't do it Edit: I now managed to make six rows and i am almost about to change colours Edit2: sorry it was such a long gap finished the blanket the sides weren't entirely straight and it took me about a month because I kept getting frustrated and I made a bigger blanket than the one in the video
Molly It’s all about practice! If you’re just starting, I recommend making a blanket just for yourself to see what you need to work on, what patterns work best for you, etc. that’s how I started crocheting, started with one blanket for myself to see my weak points, and how to improve, etc. It helps you see how you’ve progressed! If you were planning on making it for someone else, continue, and when you’re all finished, start with one for you to help you
I love your videos! Your voice is so soothing and calming - I say that because as a beginner listening to your calm voice instructions it really helps relieve the stress of being such a newbie at crochet. I'm going to try this but I'm going to use a dual-color yarn for my first time so that I don't have to worry about changing colors. Once I see that I can do it properly I will attempt the two-color like you've shown here. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
I’ve progressed so much since you taught me to crochet 5 years ago and have enjoyed following your patterns along with the videos. Once again, thank you, you’re a wonderful teacher. I’ve been churning out star blankets for ages and love the simplicity of this gorgeous blanket. I can’t wait for you to do a CAL making a jacket or even an Ella sized cardi. Xxx
My first ever Crochet pattern for a baby blanket. I have l get if right so your tutorials are fantastic and a life saver.Thanks ever so much for giving people the opportunity to making such a beautiful blanket 🎉🎉😊😊❤
Thank you for the demonstration! This inspired me to try a bath mat with this yarn. Seeing it's acrylic, it should dry fast, and machine-wash no problem!
Thank you! I know this video was made four years ago, but I am a semi beginner crocheter, and I want to crochet this blanket for my new baby cousin that is coming in February. I haven’t attempted yet, but I wrote down notes to try and attempt it tomorrow. Thank you again ❤❤
@@bellacococrochetJust a quick question on the pattern. Are there a certain number of rows that might be best for the blanket? Or is it just what works best?
Loved this pattern! Thank you so much! I made my 1st baby blanket from this. Wish I could send a picture to show you how it looks. Thank you for taking so much time to explain each step throughout, it’s greatly beneficial for new crocheters, like myself. ❤️
I watched this video about month ago when I first started learning (I'm still learning why I came back to the Original video I 💙) but to make a long story short I spent like 60 dollars on 5 ball of yarn plus tax for this beautiful yarn(different yarn from the video ) to make my first blanket that was my first mistake should of started off a little more simple but I dove right in took me about a month to finish my first blanket I'm wrapping up that blanket now and it looks good if I don't say so myself butttt looking back at the original video I have some work to do to make improvements because have way through I guess I started doing my own thing and my edges are not so great and my stitches are definitely not organized and neat but I'm just proud I got this far to be able to rewatch and learn even more that I can do to make my next blanket even better I appreciate this video..Definitely easy for me to follow and keep learning from thank you.😁
I just finished my first ever crochet project by using this video as my teacher! it's not perfect but it's close to, and this video was SO helpful! even thought i'm pretty certain I either invented a new type of stitch or accidentally didn't do the same one you did 😂 I can't wait to make more blankets!
This is such an awesome tutorial video. You are so patient and the explanations are so easy to understand and follow. I am making a baby blanket for my son's first baby. I'm so excited, I cannot wait for the finished product. Thank you ❤🎉🤩
I just started crochet and this is going to be my first project after practicing with some other yarn. I’m not making a baby blanket though. I’m making my daughter a regular sized blanket. We went and picked out the yarn and we’re both so excited but I think her expectations of how fast I’ll finish it are pretty high 😆
Bella, I really enjoyed watching and learning from you. Thank you very much for posting this easy to follow instructions for crocheting. Now I can get a blanket done that is going to be for my second blood grandchild. My youngest daughter and her husband are expecting their first. You are a great teacher.
Amazing! I made a blanket from this tutorial this weekend. All your tips were really helpful. I missed a few stitches and learned a lot about my tension and that I should have used a slightly bigger hook. But it turned out to be very pretty. I made it for my niece
Thank you so much for this. I started to teach myself a few weeks ago and have now made three blankets using your tutorial. I am thrilled, thanks again 🥰
Love the video! You’re making this so easy for me! I’ve never crocheted anything before and here I am crocheting a blanket! All because of you and your kickass video, thanks so much! My daughter is going to ❤ the blanket I’m making her and she’ll keep it and remember me for ever! Again thanks so much!
My first time crocheting and this was beyond helpful. My first ever baby blanket came out super cute and your directions are very easy to follow. Definitely subscribing and checking out more of your tutorials. ❤
I love the pattern in fact I crocheted a baby blanket in those same colors for my 1st great-grandson the year he was born (he’ll be 5 yrs old in August this year). And his Mommy my oldest granddaughter still has it to give him to keep when he’s older.
Thank you for the video. I was having trouble with my piece folding up in a ball. But, after complaining to my husband, he searched UA-cam for a video and found yours for me to watch. I am doing so much better. Your instructions were so easy to follow and it actually looks like a blanket now. Thank you so much.
This was an amazingly beginners video that I just found doing a video search in UA-cam. I had not crochetted anything for 30 years soo I needed something to get started. I 🙂was able to make a beautiful blanket for my new grandson in just a short time!
So glad I found this, I’m wanting to start a crochet blanket business. Are these a good size for crochet throws or baby blankets? 🥲 I’m doing a few practice ones and I struggle with the sizing 😂
The completed size is 25 inch (W) x 29 inch (H) approx, this maybe different depending on the type of yarn you use, your hook size and your personal tension. I would say that this is a baby blanket size. I wish you the best of luck with your business :)
I just wanted to say your videos have helped me so much. I’m not usually a visual learner but your tutorials are really easy to follow and I like that you don’t rush it. Thank you for sharing 🙂
I thought I would never understand how to crochet until I watched your videos; I've learned do much and now that I believe can do it, I'm more excited about crocheting again. Thank you
You’re welcome 😊 As this is quite a simple blanket I think it would work best with a simple border too - you could try a puff stitch edging or just a simple crab stitch to finish it off. You can find tutorials for both on my channel 😊
Hi so glad I came across your video🤗🇨🇦💯 I am going to give it another go , from Sudbury Ontario Canada🇨🇦 I did crochet a blanket way back at the age of 16, now 48 & wanna jump back into another for my Grandchildren ♥️🤗💕 thank you so much can't wait to watch more of your videos.❤
Thank you sooooo much for being so thorough with your explanation. Your voice sounds so sweet and I have officially learned how to crochet easily. Thank You New subbie ❤

i feel this on an emotional level.
And it always curls or curves 😐

Try using a larger size hook, I personally find it easier especially with the thicker yarn

I watched this on reply for a few weeks and practiced the single foundation chain and today finished the first half double row. As a mom of 2 littles under 3 I needed an outlet at night and this is definitely it! Very calming to listen too and follow along. Definitely will be searching this channel for other projects after this one!
You're very welcome and I'm so glad that you have found crochet as a way of relaxing :)
Me a person with no intentions of crocheting: *watches the whole video*
Ha!
Old chicken.. Ha! Ha!
Me 2
lol
yup
My daughter who is 6 has been learning to crochet with her Grandma this summer and has loved your videos. She is making this baby blanket and is really enjoying it, thank you.
You are very welcome, I love hearing about little ones wanting to learn how to crochet :)
I have the same hooks they are fantastic! They feel great in my hand for hours. Also purchased the purple yarn a few months back. So happy to have a tutorial for baby blanket.
Wonderful :)
@@bellacococrochet can we do it by hands ?
What hooks are they?
@@kathyt1128look up “ergonomic hooks”
This is a very beautiful design and using the yarn you chose makes it very soft and snuggly.
A year ago today I learned to crochet and do many projects by the help of mostly your videos and some others. I wanted to do it so badly at first and assumed there would be no videos on UA-cam and That I would have to take classes. I made lots of projects for friends, family and my animals that they love so much. I just want to thank you so much for uploading videos to youtube for everyone to learn. It made me realize how happy and grateful I am for some people who just want to spread information regardless if their is a price on it. I learned so much and I cannot thank you and so many others enough!
You are very welcome :)
I have restarted my baby blanket 7x and I think I finally got it😴
I had to restart 4 times because I was following a book at first, and then when I realized it wasn't working, I saw this video...but I didn't finish watching it, so even though it worked for a good bit, I missed som stuff and yes, had to undo it and start all over again...so it was a total of like 6 times I had to start over again. Once I followed the video almost EXACTLY I didn't have much trouble, and it came out pretty awesome.
Lol ive started this blanket an have takken it apart a 200 xs
same.
I really really appreciate this.. as I new crocheter your thoroughness and slowness is unmatched. Thank you very much!
You are very welcome :)
Currently trying to learn to crochet, noticed my cat took an interest in my soft fuzzy yarn and decided I’m going to try and make him a blanket. This video was so easy to follow but my nails are slightly too long to work with right now so I’ll use it when my nails are shorter. Thank you for having such helpful videos. I’m a very impatient person but your tone of voice helps me relax whilst I’m crocheting. So again, thank you
You are very welcome :)
instead of “honey where’s my super suit” it’s going to be “HoNeY wHeReS mY cRoChEt SuPpLiEs” 😂
(Edit) I DID NOT EXPECT THAT MANY LIKES THANKS YOU SO MUCH 😂💕💕
100th like all like: I AM THE 100th LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ixharlo6717 OMG I JUST NOTICED 😂😂😂😂
@@v9nillaa418 lol
Yes! Anytime my husband and I go to Walmart if we walk by the crocheting supplies he yells no more yarn 😂😂
This is me every single time I wanna crochet lol. I can find everything just fine till I wanna do it.
OMG thank you soooo much, I've been struggling with crochet for a while. I have a newborn baby cousin that is going to love this blanket. Little Claire will have a nice warm blanket hand made by her favorite cousin
You are very welcome :)
I randomly thought oo lets crochet since I've been sick for the past week. I thought I was foolish but I told myself, let me find one youtube video that explains it well enough and looks good enough for me to follow. Saw your vids and popped my order for the materials right away. It came today and I am planning to make this blanket. My first yarn I ordered was Bernat Baby blanket and its soft and heavenly but my god is it chunky and hard to play with. But all day I've been playing around with it and got used to it. Now I plan to make this little blanket! Thank you so much. I love all of your videos, I can't wait to learn and see what I can make!
You are very welcome and I hope you are feeling better :)
Sewing, knitting, and crocheting are my favourite things to do, this is such a good project to work on? Thanks so much for this. 🧶🧵🪡❤️
You're welcome :)
I have used this yarn and I love it. It’s soft and thick so it works up fast. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome :)
This was VERY helpful! My sister-in-law is having a baby, and I wanted to make the baby a blanket! I will use this tutorial for the rest of my life! 😌
Glad it was helpful :)
Absolutely love this pattern but I’m nearly finished with my first 300g yarn after only 6 rows! Will need more but I’m so excited to finish my blanket and give it to my niece for her first birthday !
Yeah I’m not sure how she claims only 600g to make the blanket.. I did make it slightly wider by like 10 stitches. I’m almost done 1 skein and it’s only the size of an adult scarf.
Thanks for the tutorial! I made a blanket (200cm x 180cm) for my boyfriends birthday. I've been working on it for a total of 2 months (and started over twice). I think I'll make one for myself too, because I really don't want to give it away! :)
Hey. Could u please tell me how many yarn balls did u use to make the blanket ? I'm thinking of making one for myself but idk how much yarn to buy.
❤️
@@snugglypotato3262 This is exactly what i’m wondering! and roughly how many stitches wide it was
@@fynn2614 I googled it and to make a 200cm x 180 cm blanket, it said about 28-30 Yarn Skeins are needed.
I'm not making it yet coz its an approximate calculation but I'll be gald if this helps.
😊
@juulzxo, well done you for doing your blanket and we all have a little habit of getting some parts mixed up but so what 🎉you smashed it & dead right to keep the next one for yourself,you put the word into it and reward yourself. Iam going to make a baby blanket for my nephew's new little arrival so I'm hoping that l can do as good as you did🎉🎉😊Sorry what yarn did she use & what size knitting needles 🪡 only if you get a chance to reply🎉
This is soooooooo helpful, I have only been crocheting for a few week and I was able to get the knack of this way of making the blanket I have now finished and teaching my mum to do it too! ❤
I'm so glad that it helped you :)
Just made my first project ever and it was this blanket ! Excited to make another one you’re the best teacher !Thank you ❤
Them : *makes a baby blanket that Is super cute with a good design*

Oh no...
Ironically I am an aunt trying to make blankets lol
@@arianatrevino169 lol
@@arianatrevino169 lol
@@arianatrevino169 me too! But I don’t think my sister will like a black baby blanket
I have also loved making this blanket. It was the first project that I have done in about 20 years. You explained everything so well verbally as well as showing each of the processes. Thank you for helping to building my confidence to continue learning. I am very hopeful that when I gift this blanket it will be well loved and appreciated.
You are very welcome :)
This is so funny I had just going to Walmart and bought the same yarn she has I'm so excited to make my first crochet blanket!!!
I managed to get the first row but when coming to the half treble I got so stressed and couldn't do it
Edit: I now managed to make six rows and i am almost about to change colours
Edit2: sorry it was such a long gap finished the blanket the sides weren't entirely straight and it took me about a month because I kept getting frustrated and I made a bigger blanket than the one in the video
How far are you now?
Molly It’s all about practice! If you’re just starting, I recommend making a blanket just for yourself to see what you need to work on, what patterns work best for you, etc. that’s how I started crocheting, started with one blanket for myself to see my weak points, and how to improve, etc. It helps you see how you’ve progressed! If you were planning on making it for someone else, continue, and when you’re all finished, start with one for you to help you
I feel your pain girl I have 2 sisters and 1 brother
at least you're doing it! My first project would fit your description
I followed this too, and my blanket kept shrinking and shrinking!
2 years ago I made a blanket in earth tones exactly the way your doing this one and it turned out beautiful.
I love your videos! Your voice is so soothing and calming - I say that because as a beginner listening to your calm voice instructions it really helps relieve the stress of being such a newbie at crochet. I'm going to try this but I'm going to use a dual-color yarn for my first time so that I don't have to worry about changing colors. Once I see that I can do it properly I will attempt the two-color like you've shown here. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
You're very welcome:)
Me too 😊
I’ve progressed so much since you taught me to crochet 5 years ago and have enjoyed following your patterns along with the videos. Once again, thank you, you’re a wonderful teacher.
I’ve been churning out star blankets for ages and love the simplicity of this gorgeous blanket.
I can’t wait for you to do a CAL making a jacket or even an Ella sized cardi. Xxx
You are so very welcome :)
My first ever Crochet pattern for a baby blanket. I have l get if right so your tutorials are fantastic and a life saver.Thanks ever so much for giving people the opportunity to making such a beautiful blanket 🎉🎉😊😊❤
You are very welcome :)
this is my first crochet project for my baby brother or sister and it's really fun and simple to do

Thank you for the demonstration! This inspired me to try a bath mat with this yarn. Seeing it's acrylic, it should dry fast, and machine-wash no problem!
You're very welcome :)
Thank you! I know this video was made four years ago, but I am a semi beginner crocheter, and I want to crochet this blanket for my new baby cousin that is coming in February. I haven’t attempted yet, but I wrote down notes to try and attempt it tomorrow. Thank you again ❤❤
You are very welcome :)
@@bellacococrochetJust a quick question on the pattern. Are there a certain number of rows that might be best for the blanket? Or is it just what works best?
Loved this pattern! Thank you so much! I made my 1st baby blanket from this. Wish I could send a picture to show you how it looks.
Thank you for taking so much time to explain each step throughout, it’s greatly beneficial for new crocheters, like myself. ❤️
You are very welcome :)
How many rows is in this pattern I can't find it
This is the easiest explanation I’ve found so far. Thank you!
You're very welcome :)
I watched this video about month ago when I first started learning (I'm still learning why I came back to the Original video I 💙) but to make a long story short I spent like 60 dollars on 5 ball of yarn plus tax for this beautiful yarn(different yarn from the video ) to make my first blanket that was my first mistake should of started off a little more simple but I dove right in took me about a month to finish my first blanket I'm wrapping up that blanket now and it looks good if I don't say so myself butttt looking back at the original video I have some work to do to make improvements because have way through I guess I started doing my own thing and my edges are not so great and my stitches are definitely not organized and neat but I'm just proud I got this far to be able to rewatch and learn even more that I can do to make my next blanket even better I appreciate this video..Definitely easy for me to follow and keep learning from thank you.😁
I just finished my first ever crochet project by using this video as my teacher! it's not perfect but it's close to, and this video was SO helpful! even thought i'm pretty certain I either invented a new type of stitch or accidentally didn't do the same one you did 😂 I can't wait to make more blankets!
Well done, remember that crochet is practice and patience so keep trying and it will get easier :P)
This is such an awesome tutorial video. You are so patient and the explanations are so easy to understand and follow. I am making a baby blanket for my son's first baby. I'm so excited, I cannot wait for the finished product. Thank you ❤🎉🤩
You are very welcome :)
I just started crochet and this is going to be my first project after practicing with some other yarn. I’m not making a baby blanket though. I’m making my daughter a regular sized blanket. We went and picked out the yarn and we’re both so excited but I think her expectations of how fast I’ll finish it are pretty high 😆
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It's great! There's no way I could have ever figured this out without your video! You make it so easy to learn! ❤
You're very welcome :)
I just do a huge chain, and triple crochet along in stripes. I use bernat blanket chunky yarn. This is for a big blanket
I’m making a baby blanket for a friend and now I’m like, imma need one too! This is such a nice pattern and tutorial!
YAYY I FINISHED MY BLANKET THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUXHHHH
You are very welcome and well done :)
Bella, I really enjoyed watching and learning from you. Thank you very much for posting this easy to follow instructions for crocheting. Now I can get a blanket done that is going to be for my second blood grandchild. My youngest daughter and her husband are expecting their first. You are a great teacher.
Thank you and you are very welcome, congratulations on your grandchildren :)
THIS IS HOW A REAL TUTORIAL MADE
GREAT WORK
IVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO LEARN SOMETHING SO FAST🥰
Thank you :)
Amazing! I made a blanket from this tutorial this weekend. All your tips were really helpful. I missed a few stitches and learned a lot about my tension and that I should have used a slightly bigger hook. But it turned out to be very pretty. I made it for my niece
You are very welcome and well done I bet she will love it :)
Thank you so much for this. I started to teach myself a few weeks ago and have now made three blankets using your tutorial. I am thrilled, thanks again 🥰
You are very welcome :)
Love the video! You’re making this so easy for me! I’ve never crocheted anything before and here I am crocheting a blanket! All because of you and your kickass video, thanks so much! My daughter is going to ❤ the blanket I’m making her and she’ll keep it and remember me for ever! Again thanks so much!
My first time crocheting and this was beyond helpful. My first ever baby blanket came out super cute and your directions are very easy to follow. Definitely subscribing and checking out more of your tutorials. ❤
I'm so glad it was helpful and well done :)
I love the pattern in fact I crocheted a baby blanket in those same colors for my 1st great-grandson the year he was born (he’ll be 5 yrs old in August this year). And his Mommy my oldest granddaughter still has it to give him to keep when he’s older.
Thank you for the video. I was having trouble with my piece folding up in a ball. But, after complaining to my husband, he searched UA-cam for a video and found yours for me to watch. I am doing so much better. Your instructions were so easy to follow and it actually looks like a blanket now. Thank you so much.
You are very welcome and I'm glad it helped you :)
What lovely colour you picked it looks like it'll work up real fast and make a perfect gift ! You inspire me all the time 😍thank you so much !
This is such an informative video! You have so much patience and teach well. Making my first blanket for my unborn baby! Thanks for this 💗💙
You are very welcome :)
This was an amazingly beginners video that I just found doing a video search in UA-cam. I had not crochetted anything for 30 years soo I needed something to get started. I 🙂was able to make a beautiful blanket for my new grandson in just a short time!
I'm so glad that it helped you and congratulations on your Grandson :)
Me: does crochet for over a year
Also me: still looking for youtube tutprials
Just started my 4th one of these. I love them for baby gifts!
Making a baby blanket for my best friend. Learned how to crochet from a couple videos but mostly this one. ❤ Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Woah! This is actually really easy and I love how colorful it is. Tysm for this video!
You're very welcome 😊
So glad I found this, I’m wanting to start a crochet blanket business. Are these a good size for crochet throws or baby blankets? 🥲 I’m doing a few practice ones and I struggle with the sizing 😂
The completed size is 25 inch (W) x 29 inch (H) approx, this maybe different depending on the type of yarn you use, your hook size and your personal tension. I would say that this is a baby blanket size. I wish you the best of luck with your business :)
I just wanted to say your videos have helped me so much. I’m not usually a visual learner but your tutorials are really easy to follow and I like that you don’t rush it. Thank you for sharing 🙂
You are very welcome :)
This video was amazing. I’ve watched so many and this one really demonstrated actual step by step perfectly. It was super helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome :)
I love watching your videos. Even though I can do this I still found myself watching to the very end. Nice yarn and nail polish🙂
Thank you! 😊
I thought I would never understand how to crochet until I watched your videos; I've learned do much and now that I believe can do it, I'm more excited about crocheting again. Thank you
You are ver welcome and good luck :)
Tysm! I really needed this and I’m making my first blanket now!
You are welcome :)
Sorry I'm off to watch the left handed tutorial! 😁🧶😆 It's just beautiful by the way! 💜
I'm left handed. Right behind u
I'm left handed too but find it easier crocheting right handed! Lol
I made this for a gift, and it did came together quickly! It was a big hit at the baby shower today! Thank you for sharing this video.
You are very welcome :)
Also do you think you could do a C2C Blanket with this yarn thank you for taking the time read comments
Angels Hugs x
You’re welcome 😊 As this is quite a simple blanket I think it would work best with a simple border too - you could try a puff stitch edging or just a simple crab stitch to finish it off. You can find tutorials for both on my channel 😊
You are absolutely amazing!! Step by step in details. Many thanks. Keep up the great work.. 😊
Thank you :)
@@bellacococrochet ❤️
Hi so glad I came across your video🤗🇨🇦💯 I am going to give it another go , from Sudbury Ontario Canada🇨🇦 I did crochet a blanket way back at the age of 16, now 48 & wanna jump back into another for my Grandchildren ♥️🤗💕 thank you so much can't wait to watch more of your videos.❤
You are welcome :)
I think I've somehow messed up the first few rows because of how chunky my yarn is and how it wants to curl😂 oh well, here's to trying again!
It's quite normal for work to curl, it will get better the more rows you do. You may have to block it once it's finished :)
It does curl. It will work itself out after a few rows.
Thank you sooooo much for being so thorough with your explanation. Your voice sounds so sweet and I have officially learned how to crochet easily. Thank You New subbie ❤
You are very welcome :)
you are the only person who goes slow enough and clear enough to make this understandable :D
I'm glad it helped :)
Idk why I binge watch these, I don’t crochet 🥲
Cause it’s relaxing just like when I crochet it’s relaxing and it melts the stress away
