And she was crocheting very slowly! I imagine that, like many of us more experienced crocheters, she actually works at a much faster pace than she uses to teach with. I certainly do, but I've been crocheting almost 49 years now.
I'm using a thinner velvet yarn, and I had to restart 4 times because the yarn is tricky to work with, but I finally got it going and it looks and feels great! It will take me a few days to finish it since the yarn is smaller, but I'm looking forward to the final blanket. 😊
@@DearestMamacita I fixed it by pulling it apart and starting over. There are videos that address curling issues. They helped me, but unfortunately it's been a very long time since I did it so I can't remember enough advice to give you here.
I plan to make an afghan for each of my children. I have two adult boy and girl, and I’m at the age to start creating heirlooms. I already made several items for my granddaughter to be born, and now, afghans for my kids. Thank you so much!!!!
Its so easy to make it. I learned crocheting in our school first I really like yarns to make pom poms. And our teacher teach us how to crochet and now I make scarfs bonnets and anyting that I can make with yarns
Most precious lady 💟💞 thank you for this ive been crocheting for years and trying to learn new stitches that are easy is amazing thank you again for sharing you're beautiful work
Well I agree with all the lovely comments. You are a wonderful teacher & I am understanding this double crochet now. I’m 76 & have just started to crochet as I too are quite house bound with very bad Fibromyalgia & arthritis. My other half passed 13 years ago so I live alone now with my little Yorkie. A friend comes in to exercise her but she is my little shadow & loves to cuddle up. She snuggles into my back & shoulder but it doesn’t stop me crocheting or trying to.
Hi dubbel croche is two yarn round the needle you work with ,in sweden do wi say, 1 stolpe ,that is one yarn round the needel. That is beutiful. Mvh Helena
I just want you to know on how I enjoy using this type of yarn I'm doing a blanket using white and green but using this pattern and it is looking very nice my mom will be getting it for christmas and she dose not even know it.agian thank you
it looks so easy. you go so fast. can you make an afghan in a night? an under-taking for sure for a beginner. I have done macrame and some knitting. quite comprehensive and the hardest part i think would be knowing what size(yarn weight) to use. Hoping if i start now. maybe by christmas a nice afghan to gift. Looks simple. just loop the yarn around the hook and pull through.. what can possible go wrong.
Okay, so I'm following your instructions and for some reason my Afghan is growing longer and longer and is now nearly twice the length of my bed! Lol! So where am I messing up other than binge watching House of Cards? 🙃
I have made this exact blanket a few years back and I love it! The only exception was I did not use the chunky yarn or the chunky needle. I will be making some your way for two reasons, ☝️ I have arthritis in my hands so it has been hard for me to use the smaller hooks and✌🏻It will not take as long to get the project done! Hope to be finding some new ideas from you since I have just subscribed. Thank you for showing this old gal some new tricks!😀
How long should I crotchet the single row prior to starting the second row? It's a baby blanket and I just want to make sure I have a decent length. Thanks! I'm a beginner and still figuring out the ropes.
How many skains did it take you to make the blanket? I started with chain of 130. And I started out buying the same yarn you used I bought 4 to begin but can tell it's going to take alot of skains to finish. Was hoping to get a rough idea of how many it took you!
I am looking for a good pattern or video on how to crochet skate toe guards, I found a few videos on youtube but I can't see the video it is too blurred on my computer I am a beginner I need all the help I can get PLEASE HELP!!
So Im confused. On the end where she says it may be hard to understand, and you crochet into the 3rd chain, do you do this only once throughout the blanket, or every other row? Thanks!!
After the first stitched row, and after the triple stitch do you go through both pieces or yarn or only one. Like on the edge of the stitch there’s two loops, do I go through both? I can’t tell from the video....I’m kinda blind 😂
You went a little to fast for me, I'm a beginner at crocheting and your hands just moved to fast to actually see what you were doing,you do beautiful work.
😇💜 I know that it is a year later, but I saw your comment, about how fast she is crocheting. I'm not a beginner to crochet, but at any time you feel like, someone is crocheting to fast for you, just pause the video, and also I like to follow, different You Tubers and watch there tutorials.🤗
Hey guys ! I currently am using ergo crochet hooks but I have MS and my hands tire easily or my grip fails sometimes, any suggestions for a bigger handled crochets hooks?
I'm having a little trouble with the last stitch on each row. That one does not look the same as the rest of the stitches and is hard to get my hook into. What's wrong?
So when you skip the first stitch do you end up with one less double crochet then your set up row? I'm trying to follow a pattern and it says I'll have 112 DC for my set up row and then after that it just gives me directions for the remaining rows but no specific amount of DC I should have.
This is probably a dumb question but how are you supposed to turn over your project if it’s a whole blanket? Is it easier than it sounds? Because it sounds like a pain 🙈🤣

Hi Robin, if working with the same Premier Yarns Serenity Chunky Yarn used in the video, you would need approximately 1,800 yards of yarn. We hope this helps!
Hi Robin, if using a medium weight yarn, you will need somewhere around 3,000 yards. We have an article about common yardage here: www.allfreecrochet.com/Tips-for-Crochet/How-Much-Yarn-Do-I-Need. And The Crochet Crowd has a helpful yarn substitution calculator here: thecrochetcrowd.com/calculator-yarn-substitutions/. Hopefully this helps a bit!
Hi Michelle, the pattern repeats in double crochet until the afghan reaches your desired length. There is no need to switch to single crochet unless you wish to customize the design or add a border. We hope this helps!
I'm an "intermediate" crocheter, but I don't do it for a while and need a brush-up. This is perfect to get me back into crocheting with some tips I did not know before and will make my projects look better. She does a very nice job of explaining and showing exactly what to do. Watch this if you already know how to crochet, but are not an expert, and also watch if you are a beginner.
As simple as it is, this is one afghan a person could reach for every time to get warm, with such a soft texture and rich color. Nice patient tutorial, thank you!
I love d/c, because it's so easy for my MS brain to remember and it's easier on my MS/arthritic hands. ;) I learned to crochet from my gramma, when I was about 13, but could not remember as an adult. So about 3 years ago, friends suggested I look up how to crochet videos here on UA-cam. I did, and have come a long way. Once I got the hang of it, I looked up videos on how to change colors and have done so in afghans and scarves. ;) I am so grateful for people like you who take the time to make videos like this! I won't drive anymore, (due to the MS and seizures, so I don't have a car), and my friends all work (of course) and many are busy with family, so I am home alone a lot. So crocheting has literally helped keep me from going bonkers! ;)
AmazedbyHisgrace1 Hi, I'm bedridden due to "Failed low back surgery syndrome", and am home all the time as well. Except for once every three months, when I have to "go" to hospital to have my morphine pump implant refilled. I feel very lonely too at times, and am also beginning to pick up crocheting again. Itt's hard for me as well, because it's so painfull after a while, because my arm muscles don't work properly anymore either (I have a neck implant as well). I would like to learn how to knit again (used to be able to, but that was when I was in my twenties), but am hesitant, because the knitting needles might not be as handy to work with in a bed as opposed to a crochet hook. I don't know if you will get this answer to your comment, but I hope you do, you are always welcome on my FB, just maybe, if you're interested that is, send me a PM first, so that I know who you are, since I don't know your username on FB. Hope to "hear" from you soon. Take care and God Bless !
Nadia Verbeeck...I am so sorry! I have been homebound at times, but am usually able to get out when I need (or want), to. I will pray for you tonight. God bless!
Keeping you and Nadia Verbeeck in prayer for healing and relief from pain. I too learned crochet from my beloved granny! Her pieces were coveted by young and old alike. I too put down this lovely hobby for many years...with the wonderful news that I am a soon to be "glamma" myself I've turned to youtube for crochet refresher and find these videos amazing and very helpful! I wish you and Nadia Verbeeck great success with your crochet projects.
Hahaha. That was me when I first tried. I ended up taking it apart two times because it started getting wider as I was going along. Then attempt two I started losing width. Lol. It took me two weeks to do a 10x10 square.
@@lisabrattoli4283 making mistakes is how we learn.I'm 62 and just learning to crochet. First time I tried, but quit, years ago, I made a baby bootie,,,,I was impressed beyond belief. Only problem was that I didn't know exactly what I was doing so I could never make the second one the same size!! I think I'll attempt that next, now that I have an idea of what to do LOLOL
TobyMcfarland I’m still trying. This blanket is turning out ok. But when she says using thicker yarn makes the project fly by is kinda being positive. Lol. I’ve been working on my blanket and it’s been about three months now and I’m still on the same blanket. I must’ve made it way too big because so far I’ve used about 10 bundles of yarn and it’s maybe 1/3 of the way done. I just bought six more bundles of yarn, Michaels was having a nice sale. It looks nice but will be huge! Lol. Maybe one bootie for when the baby is one age and another bootie for when the baby is older? 😂
That's EXACTLY How I Crochet ALL MY Blankets!!! My Gramma Taught Me How To Crochet When I Was About 13. I've Made MANY MANY Double Crochet Blankets!!!!
Wow, you make it look so easy! I only started crocheting today so I'm not very good at all but can't wait to improve my skills and start on blankets and other fun projects!
I taught myself to crochet watching videos on YT. What helped me learn faster was doing a big project. I decided to make a maxi cardigan sweater and I noticed as I was almost finished with the back panel how well I was doing and how loose some rows were at the bottom 😅 so I unraveled the whole thing and started all over. Now it looks evenly nice and neat! Repetition was key for me.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried this blanket I’ve started and restarted so many times.... your tips are great. I just think I need more practice lol
I've seen a lot of videos when I was trying to learn, and none of them made sense. I finally found some bulky yarn and practiced with that and it clicked. (I need glasses so the bulky yarn made it easier). I wish I would have came across your video a long time ago. You made it sooooo simple for me, and I'm tired of making scarfs lol. So now I'm ready to venture into blankets.
Its so beautifully explained.. Ur fingers move magically.. Loved it a lot.. To watch, to hear n even to do... And so started qith a baby blanket.. Thank u mam
You, Miss, have just earned a new subscriber. It is so easy to follow your instructions. I have learned how to crochet from my grandmother about 1,000 years ago and haven't done it in almost a year. I needed a refresher course and since UA-cam is so much more than music, I came across your channel in a search. Wonderful teacher!! Thanks and Happy New Year!
Finally a crochet video that is easy to follow! Your voice is so soothing! Teaching myself to crochet at 40, and I wish I would have learned from my late grandma. Making my very first baby blanket for our first grandchild due in October. Thank you very much!!!! 💕😊
Thank you for the easy to follow explanation!! My mom showed me how to do this more than 40 years ago and I haven't done it since then... Wanted to try my hand at this but couldn't remember! Thanks!!
If you want to learn crochet.... this is the way. Slow and steady. You reap the benefits of accomplishment and you feel relaxed. Thx so much for sharing and for doing it in a way I just love. Happy crochet 🧶 xxxx Carmenia
I just have to comment on here and say thank you for this tutorial!! I am 23 years old and recently became legally blind and decided to take up crocheting. This is the best video that has helped me out the most.❤
I remember many years back, my Nana taught me this very same simple stitch! I remember I had made a couple scarves and an Afghan. I forgot how to do this stitch being it was many years ago and have not crocheted in a while. I came here on UA-cam to search a simple stitch for crocheting and this video popped up!!. I want to get back into crocheting again and so glad I found this video!! Thank you for refreshing my memory!! :)
I'm going to make this! As a Yankees fan I'm going to make it in a navy blue and then figure out a way to crochet the logo. Thank you so much! (Also I have family in West Virginia and you sound like my cousin Karen. You also reminded me of her. You both have a sweet personality!)
you are a lifesaver thank you I'm new at croqueting and I was having problems I was watching your videos they helped thank you so much !!! hope we can be friends God Bless You 🌺
You're a good teacher, thank you. I like this simple patter very much .👍❣️
This has to be the easiest tutorial I’ve ever watched. Thank you so much, my husband is going to love this Afghan !
watching the speed at which you crochet is lowkey mesmerizing.

Nice to finally meet a crocheter holds the working yarn the same way i do! Lol even when i knit i hold it same way ..... happy crafting
This Easy CAP tutorial is the Best I've seen for a beginner. Never knew about the ends, now will never have probs w/straight edges!
Thank You!!!🙄😁
Its so easy to make it. I learned crocheting in our school first I really like yarns to make pom poms. And our teacher teach us how to crochet and now I make scarfs bonnets and anyting that I can make with yarns
Thank you for this tutorial , I'm two mons behind with a blanket order , broken so many needles & tried hundreds of patterns.
Awesome. So much easier and faster than the granny square. Thanks!
I’m starting to get back into crocheting n hunted thru many videos, this is by far the best n easiest. Thanks

Very easy❤❤Thank You😊
Do you have any suggestions on how to get it to stop curling?
How long should I crotchet the single row prior to starting the second row? It's a baby blanket and I just want to make sure I have a decent length. Thanks! I'm a beginner and still figuring out the ropes.
They make it look so easy but lol when i try to do it 😳😀😀
Miss..if i want to make it adult aize, usually what is the length and width? And usually how many yarn will be use to complete the project? Thank you.
Do you put a border on this double crochet afghan? If so, what kind to you recommend? Do you just border the top and bottom?
FIRST TIMER ~ do I need one ball of yarn to make a twin size blanket or more. Would be great if I can get a ASAP answer ~thank you
You will definitely need more. I use a couple skeins on a baby blanket.
How many skains did it take you to make the blanket? I started with chain of 130. And I started out buying the same yarn you used I bought 4 to begin but can tell it's going to take alot of skains to finish. Was hoping to get a rough idea of how many it took you!
i have really thick polyester chunky yarn and i bought 2 things of it how much will i need to make a blanket the size of a quilt ?
How many skeins of yard do you need to make an app again

You could always slow down the video to frame by frame if needed
What do you do about the holes at the beginning of each row?
Hey guys ! I currently am using ergo crochet hooks but I have MS and my hands tire easily or my grip fails sometimes, any suggestions for a bigger handled crochets hooks?
what is the best size to use for a lap blanket?
I'm having a little trouble with the last stitch on each row. That one does not look the same as the rest of the stitches and is hard to get my hook into. What's wrong?
How many steatch the big afgan
Thank you but a little to fast for me ...I am writing it down as u speak. Have a nice day.
So when you skip the first stitch do you end up with one less double crochet then your set up row? I'm trying to follow a pattern and it says I'll have 112 DC for my set up row and then after that it just gives me directions for the remaining rows but no specific amount of DC I should have.
Is edging necessary? Other blanket patterns I see have edging. 🤔
How do you 'finish' off the blanket?
This is probably a dumb question but how are you supposed to turn over your project if it’s a whole blanket? Is it easier than it sounds? Because it sounds like a pain 🙈🤣
it would help if their was a written pattern to this. ive watched this video 20xs and im just now getting it

Hello,
How do I end this blanket?
What yarn is this?
Is this live??
Can I do this with an medium sized hook
What color and brand is that yarn ?
Just can't figure out how to turn at the end of your chain stitch. Confused about the bump also.
I'm going under the bump, is that right?
yes

So true dont give up when the light bulb goes of there are basically chains, v stitches, rounds, and squares with a variety of puffs ... that's it
My problem is keeping my chain consistent lol
For beginners I thinks you go too fast to really follow have to keep going back but I will getter done. Thanks for sharing

Thank you soooooo much! This was my first crochet project and it turned out so lovely 😊
Finally a crochet video that is easy to follow! Your voice is so soothing! Teaching myself to crochet at 40, and I wish I would have learned from my late grandma. Making my very first baby blanket for our first grandchild due in October. Thank you very much!!!! 💕😊

Thank you for the easy to follow explanation!! My mom showed me how to do this more than 40 years ago and I haven't done it since then... Wanted to try my hand at this but couldn't remember! Thanks!!
If you want to learn crochet.... this is the way. Slow and steady. You reap the benefits of accomplishment and you feel relaxed. Thx so much for sharing and for doing it in a way I just love. Happy crochet 🧶 xxxx Carmenia

Hi how big is your blanket ad how many balls of wool did you use 😀
I just have to comment on here and say thank you for this tutorial!! I am 23 years old and recently became legally blind and decided to take up crocheting. This is the best video that has helped me out the most.❤
I remember many years back, my Nana taught me this very same simple stitch! I remember I had made a couple scarves and an Afghan. I forgot how to do this stitch being it was many years ago and have not crocheted in a while. I came here on UA-cam to search a simple stitch for crocheting and this video popped up!!. I want to get back into crocheting again and so glad I found this video!! Thank you for refreshing my memory!! :)
Grace Victoria I use to crochet but it has been a long time I go by reading instruction so I need written pattern how can I get one
I'm going to make this! As a Yankees fan I'm going to make it in a navy blue and then figure out a way to crochet the logo. Thank you so much!
(Also I have family in West Virginia and you sound like my cousin Karen. You also reminded me of her. You both have a sweet personality!)
you are a lifesaver thank you I'm new at croqueting and I was having problems I was watching your videos they helped thank you so much !!! hope we can be friends God Bless You 🌺
Where can I find a crochet hook like the one you have? Looks really comfortable to hold.
