Make in a Day Crochet Chunky Blanket ! So EASY 🤩 🧶

- In this video I share how to make a big, squishy blanket using a modified version of the "blanket" stitch. This is even easier and faster resulting in a similar look with a beautiful fabric with excellent "drape".
A 4x5 ft blanket will take approx 6-8 hours of crochet time depending on your speed. For example, each ball took me 1.5 hours to crochet.

As a brand new crocheter, I really appreciate how thorough you are with your explanations where other tutorials gloss over things or omit the info altogether. Thank you also for filming your work up close so newbies like me can see what we are supposed to be doing and for showing EXACTLY where the hook is supposed to go on each stitch. You take your time to show the stitch pattern repeatedly, and what to look for at the end of the row and how to continue to the next row, and that is SOOOO helpful for a middle age newbie like me. You are an EXCELLENT teacher! You have given me the confidence to attempt crocheting again as I had given up on even trying after a disastrous attempt at a scarf years ago. I want to make something for my son as a housewarming gift for his new place so I am going to try making this blanket for his sofa. After watching this video, I am inspired to try crocheting again….and might even try tackling that scarf again at some point too! Thank you for sharing your talent here so others like me can appreciate your work and learn! 😊❤🙏
Your message means the world to me, thank you so much for taking the time to share this ❤️💕🧶
I second this!!! I can’t just watch. I can’t just read directions. I can follow along with instruction. Was about to quit altogether. Very good teacher!!
@@LisaT_ thank you so much ❤️
I totally agree because it’s hard for me to tell the difference between single and double crochet. ❤❤
Your tutorial is the most simple and easy to follow that I have ever come across. And your voice is perfectly matched for a soothing guide to the relaxing and beautiful art of crochet! Thank you so much for sharing on UA-cam. God bless you!❤
You have made my day, thank you 😀💕
Great tutorial. Easy to follow, good tips for working with chenille yarn. Thank you.
Appreciate it, thank you ❤️
I discovered the suzette stitch through this video and I made a blanket with the perfect phasing in teal and I want to thank you, because of you I *made* the most luxurious item I own. It’s so wonderful.
Oooh , it sounds gorgeous 😍😍😍 so glad I was a part of your journey , thank you for telling me ❤️👏🏻
Excellent video!! One suggestion: Please include the written instructions (the same ones you put on the screen which were very clear and concise).😊 It’s too difficult to go back and find rows 3-6 on the video because the time stamps don’t always start at a new row. (I had to go back through the video and write them down which was a little tedious.) But other than that, great job! I’m happy to learn how to read crochet instructions while I was following your video! I look forward to seeing others.❤
I have been loving the Suzette stitch these days. I’ve made bookmarks with size 3 crochet thread. Working on dresser scarves with same size thread. Also cotton washcloths with same stitch. It’s so easy to do on autopilot, like you mentioned, and pretty too. Thanks for this video.
Oooh, bookmarks! What a lovely idea. Yes , this such a great “go to” stitch I’m discovering! 🙌🏻💕
Why would anyone want to “rush” a crotchet or knitting project? Never! ❤
Well -if you’re a procrastinator like me and you’re asked for something like this for Christmas… well… that’s my big why 😂😂💕 Happy New Year 🎊
Just starting my second blanket . It’s gorgeous and as a beginner it’s given me confidence, seeing such lovely end result. Your explanation was nice and easy. Thanks
Oh, that’s wonderful, I’m so glad 😀💕
That kitty intro is my favorite 🥰
Thank you for introducing me to the Suzette stitch too, never heard of that one before 🤗🧶
He’s a ham 😺❤️
Thank you, NV , hope you enjoy the stitch , it’s really versatile 👏🏻💕
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you 😊 I appreciate it 💗
My kitten climbs all over my crochet creation. They love the blankets.
@@debrawolleycrochet aww yay that's nice 😊
I've never made a blanket before and just finished this one yesterday. I found this process to be so relaxing and enjoyable.. was sad for it to end! I am already planning to try your Rice stitch one. Thanks for the inspiration and great instruction! ❤
That’s so wonderful to read! I’m glad you enjoyed making this one as much as I did 😀🧶💕💕
You are the best and most understandable teacher I’ve seen so far. Thank you from a newbie.
Thank you so much , I’m so glad I’m making sense in the videos 👏🏻💕
Roz… Thank you for your many valued videos and dedication to the art of crocheting. Holiday Hugs❤️
Have a wonderful holiday and thank you , Kat 😀🎄💕💕
That finishing needle is a brilliant idea❤
Love the blanket thank you for sharing with us all
Thanks for watching , Katrina 😀🧶💕
すっごくお洒落！！！！！！素敵！！！！
Thank you 😀💕
Love the kitty and the blanket.
Thank you so much ❤️
I've made about 20 blankets with this yarn. All half double crochets. My next blanket will be this pattern. Thank you.😊
Love this quick blanket!
And love your photo bomber! My helper is currently assisting by means of a deep nap! 😅
Hahaha love it - I guess we can say they are testing it , right 😂😻
Thank you ! 🧶💕
We have a long car ride coming up for Christmas, this will be a good (and warm!) way to pass the time!
Great idea!! 🧶💕 I just finished a 10 hour car ride so I know what you mean 😆
I wish I could crochet but I'm the driver. 10hr ride coming up here too
@@vernaeagle7308 awe dang - enjoy your trip 💕
What an excellent video. Clearly explained and filmed. I’m in the UK so will use double and treble stitches. Thanks!
Absolutely on the stitch conversion😆 👏🏻💕Happy New Year 🎊
Once again, a very lovely clip and stitch. Cheers.✌🏻🌷🌿
Thank so much 😀🧶💕
Hi Roz
I love this yarn. It's so soft. Love new designs that are easy but make a beautiful blanket. Thank you so much!!
I want a stack of beautiful blankets, each one a totally different pattern. I think they look so pretty folded and stacked. Thank you for another wonderful tutorial. Can't say it enough, I love your channel and content. ❤🥰❤🥰❤
Have a wonderful and blessed Sunday!!!❤😊
Thank you so much , Linda. I’m with you on that one. I love the look of stacked blankets … probably even more than actually using them, 😆😆😆🧶💕
Love this! Thank you!
Love the Suzette stitch
Absolutely love your tutorials. The tips to increase speed are great. Will be making these also for charity since they are relaxing and fun. ❤❤❤❤❤
What a great idea!! 😀👏🏻🧶🧶❤️
Such a nice pattern. Thank you for sharing
Thank you! 💕
Great pattern! Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate it, Joanie 😀💕
Thank you! This will definitely be my next pattern. I appreciate you!
Wonderful! 😀💕
Absolutely beautiful, ty.❤
Thank you 💕
This is my favorite stitch for blankets. It's so pretty.
🙌🏻🧶😀💕
Yes, this is a lovely blanket with an easy stitch to remember.
Thank you ! 🧶💕
Lovely!💙💙💙
Thank you !
Great video ! I love the pattern and can’t wait to make it
I love working with Bernat Blanket yarn
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful blanket pattern ❤
Thank you , so glad you enjoyed it ! ❤️
I made my mom a scarf in this stitch, and it took barely any time. I also worked out a way to use it in hats, complete with decreases. It's super handy!
That is awesome! 🧶
Thank you! It's beautiful! Blessings on your New Year!🎉🎉🎉
Happy new year!! 🎊 😍💕💕💕
Ur so easy to hear. Follow. I'm returning to crochet. Enjoying your Instructional videos. Thank you.
Thank you very much 😀💕🧶
I’m going to start a blanket with this today! Very inspiring video, thanks so much!
Wonderful, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did ! I’ll be right there with you soon. My husband asked that it be a little longer so I’m adding another skein as soon as the yarn arrives 😂💕🧶
You are wonderful and so talented and such an amazing teacher. This blanket is fabulous. Thank you for posting this pattern! I’m going out tomorrow and buy this yarn. I can’t wait!
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 👏🏻💕🧶
Thank you for explaining thing so well, I have just discovered the Bernat blanket yarn. I will be using the color Tourmaline and can't want to see how the multicolored turn out. Please make more videos using Bernat yarn. Have a great day!
Awesome! Yes, will definitely make some more, they are a lot of fun 😀🧶💕
I love this stitch, and I’ll be using it to make my blanket. I also Love how simple it is too. My mom uses the actual blanket stitch to make her blankets, so, I’m going to call this stitch the modify blanket stitch😀. Thanks so much for taking the time to show us how to make it, and I’m excited to get started☺️!
Good name! 👏🏻😆💕
Thank you! It’s for my husband, too! ❤️❤️
😀👏🏻👏🏻🧶💕
Thank you this is exactly what I’ve been looking for 😊 I only started crochet a few days ago and I wanted to learn how to make my own blanket, this was so clear and easy to follow ❤
I’m so glad , let me know how it goes! Good luck 😀👏🏻🧶💕
Loved your video. I was actually able to crochet my first blanket because of your video. I feel so accomplished! Thank you.
I’m so glad to read this! 😀👏🏻💕
I adore your kitty cat❤
Thank you 😽😽😽
I love it!! I am finishing up wraps with ribbed topped pockets (from your tutorial,) for Christmas gifts, but after Christmas I'm making this for me! Thanks so much. 😊 Merry Christmas! ❤✝️❤
Oh that’s wonderful!!! 😀💕🧶👏🏻👏🏻
Merry Christmas! 🎄🙏🏻❤️
That is a great weekend blanket! Thank you! Can't wait to get to it! Off to Michaels I go. Lol
Yeah!!! 😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕
Beautiful work. Hugs from Brazil
Thank you so much 👋🏻 👏🏻❤️🧶
Interesting and beautiful puffy stitch. Thank you. I have made blankets with hdc which is my fav stitch. Thank you 🙏 wishing you a lovely 🥰 Sunday xx
Happy Sunday to you too, Miss Crafty. 😀
I made one of these blankets with a hdc v stitch and love it. My daughter stole it, though 😂
You’re right , hdc’s are brilliant.
Have a great week 👏🏻❤️
@@PlayHookywithMe hdc v stitch ? I shall check that one out. Mine were just classic hdc . I can’t blame your daughter 😉 I bet she couldn’t resist its beauty 😁 bless her. Xx
Thank you 😊 😊😊
Suzette stitch is my favorite! I’ve only ever made scarves with it, but this squishy blanket looks totally doable. Thanks for sharing this pattern!
Very doable yes! 🙌🏻💕
One of my favorite stitch to crochet. I’m using this right now to make headbands/earwarmers. Instead of skipping stitches I start with an odd number then sc in first st dc in next st ending with a dc giving it a nice texture.
Oooh lovely 😍😍
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching! 💕🧶

I agree , thank you 😻💕💕💕
I’m so excited to try this! I have my yarn - I chose the bernat cream. - just need to pick up a 12mm hook ❤
What a beautiful color 🤩🤩🤩
I like it , will try it , looking forward to the next video.
I am planning to open my own business , and skills development also
Exciting on your new businesses! 🎊👏🏻
Looks expensive and chic! Pairs well with everything. Tons of compliments!! Great piece to add to your collection *luxdups*
Thank you so much ❤️
Very helpful
Especially with number of chains per foot and yarn needed
Cool I did this pattern & then a crochet one using single crochet and half double crochet .1row all single 2-20 row till completion row i did single then half double.😄
Fantastic 😃
Thanks!
Thank you very much , Karen 😀❤️
My love goes to you 💜
Thank you 😀🧶❤️
First time viewer of your channel, but this is excellent! A month ago, I was looking for this VERY stitch for some yarn that's also very thick (I did find it, after much searching). It looks LOVELY! Insta-sub. I first started using this stitch on cotton washcloths from a pattern on Ravelry; but it had been years, and I had no idea what it was called! Maybe you know how it is, you use so many different stitches, you'll remember one you did and go, "What was that stitch?" The Suzette stitch has to be my absolute favorite stitch. It goes very quickly, is fun to do, and I haven't seen a yarn yet that doesn't look great with it. So glad I know the name, now! BTW, love your channel name! Great video. Thank you!
Happens to me all the time too 😆🙌🏻
So glad you enjoyed the video and glad to have you here! 💕🧶
I made a scarf from the suzette stitch for my best friend whose name is Suzette. I also have a cousin I'm doing a blanket for after the NY and my aunt, her mom, name is Suzette and she has passed. So this might be the best stitch for her blanket.
QUESTION... I've bought 4weight yarn to double to make her blanket. Going to try different size hooks to see which works best.
Awe how lovely ❤️
Not sure on you’re question but yes, I’m sure you’ll find the right hook for the job 👏🏻💕
I can’t wait to make this blanket! I’ve been looking for a blanket pattern specifically for the Bernat yarn! How many skeins will I need to make to 5’ x 6’ blanket you made? Thank you!!
I used 6 balls but it was just shy of the 6 ft mark so I bought another one so 7 in total. It was for my husband and he wanted it extra long. 💕
Thêu 🪡 đẹp quá vậy bạn thân
Thank you so much 😀💕
Looks like a good blanket. My question is, how warm is this???? I have family getting ready to move to Alaska-- I want to make warm afghans for them. Waiting for your answer-- thank you. God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon. Your instructions are very well taught & able to follow
Highly recommend for warmth, yes.
If you want this to be even warmer, I’d recommend going down to a 10mm hook size to tighten the stitch a little to make it more dense.
Another option would be this pattern … no gaps between the stitches making it nice and warm :
ua-cam.com/video/dNBADKiLAv4/v-deo.htmlsi=oxR4kA1HgbQAYYWU
I started today and have done 1 skein so far. It's very dense and firm and i think, i should give it a try with a bigger hook. Have you ever made it with a bigger hook? Your's is looking soft and cuddly! I enjoy the pattern very much but i'm unsure about the outcome of my blanket. Thank you for this video!
What size hook are you using?
Like you I use a size 12 hook. Perhaps my crocheting is tighter than yours.
Thank you for great explanation and example. Did you do a border on your blanket ?
Thank you ! No, I didn’t add a border. It looked nice without it 💕
I thought so too. Beautiful blanket 💕
Hi! I'm excited this came up in my feed! I recently tried two other tutorials with this Suzette stitch and one swatch ended up too tight on the edges and the other swatch made one side taller than the other so i gave up on it before starting a large project... I'll give your version a try and hope it ends up even and flat. My concern is theres just a single crochet on the ends of each row but it has to be the same height as a double with a single... has anyone had issues with this? Do you need to make your last sc a bit looser?
I see what you mean … somehow … and maybe it’s because of the larger hook size, it seemed to even out for me on the sides. But , you might find you like it more if you you replace the sc with a dc or even a hdc . It’s not going to affect the stitch count so I’d give it a go.
Otherwise the stitch itself is going to be a bit lumpy throughout because it’s puffing the stitch out a bit.
You might find ,Stacy, that a larger hook helps.
Please keep me posted - I’m curious if you find a solution that works for you that can be passed on to other crocheters that are having the same issue 💕
I end my rows with the double crochet (US), and it's giving it a nice beveled look to the sides. I had to do several rows before I saw it, though. Even with the dc, I also add a chain 1, and if you try that, you'll see it looks very nice. I don't know if my count was off or what, but it wound up being a happy accident.
@@gracefire7 so glad you found a pleasing solution, it sounds perfect 👍🏻 👏🏻
Hi. I am working on this blanket in Bernat BB yarn. It is a beautiful pattern. Is there a trick to fastening off and weaving in the tails so that it doesn't pop out? The yarn seems to have a mind of its own when I apply the usual techniques. Thank you for your help!
With this yarn that can be a pain with popping out. The only thing I’ve found that really helps is to tack it down with a needle and thread .
I show what I do at the end of this video:
ua-cam.com/video/yFHTO6uevPM/v-deo.htmlsi=p4xkHT5FiNLff8_Q
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you for responding. The tutorial is very helpful.
Good morning! I have used this yarn in making a couple of blankets. They are beautiful and very cozy when finished. My only problem is the yarn wants to twist. I find it very difficult to work with. I didnt notice any twisting in the video. Do you have a secret? Enjoyed the video just the same. 🌍☮️🌲
Hi Jennie, I’ve heard this before but I’m not really sure what causes that. I wish I had a good solution to share!
🎄💕
I have heard about people not using the yarn because of that like me. Darn I was hoping you could tell me why. 🎄
Hello thank you for sharing, silly question, but would something this bulky fit in reg washing machine? Or do I need to take it to laundromat and use the huge washers or the cleaners? 🤔
This one will fit a regular washer … the ones using the next size up of yarn is more of an issue.
I do those in my washer as well but they hold a lot of water when they are washed . Depending on the machine, it could put the drum off balance so you have to keep an eye on it . That’s only happened to me a couple of times . To fix that, I just shift the blanket around so it can balance itself back out.
That’s beautiful I don’t know if I missed it but what size hook are you using? Thank you so much I appreciate your reply.
12 mm 👍🏻💕
@@PlayHookywithMe
thank you so much 😊
I’ve been working on a Bernat blanket for my grandson but my stitches are too tight. I usually crochet very tightly. Think I’m going to set aside what I’ve started and re-start with a new skein and use this tutorial
Or retry yours with a bigger hook? Im a tight crocheter as well. That might be what’s happening but I think you’ll enjoy this one too 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe I’ve already frogged it 3 times. If I continue, it wouldn’t ever be able to be washed, except at a laundromat. Luckily I’ve got extra skeins. Just looking at it frustrates me at this point. (18 rows, full bed size) I think I’ve a better shot at starting fresh. Thanks so much.
How many did u chain for yours? So with the suzette stitch the ends will come out once weaved in?
4x 5 ft - approx 60
I made a 5 x 6 ft so I started with 86
Wondering if the yarn worms it's way out with this stitch? I've tried different stitches with it and always ends up coming out.
I only noticed an issue when I was getting too loose with my tension but otherwise it was ok. I know what you mean, though.
I made one with sc’s that you might like better that’s linked at the end of the video. Less loopy so hopefully less risk of loops falling out 💕
I liked your crochet hook. Where did you get it?
Michaels Craft Store - if you check the description box under the video, you’ll see a link for it 👍🏻
💞💞💞
Can I ask please, how do you colorblock the yarn so that if you're using different colors, they don't bleed on each other?
I haven’t worked with more than one color for this project but from what I understand , these acrylic/polyester yarns don’t bleed colors.
I’m sorry I don’t know 😕
If I use a 10 mm crochet hook instead of a 12.. will it make the blanket shorter?
Yes - just a little -it will make the stitches slightly tighter.
Could please tell me how many rows you crochet as you said you started with. 86
I don’t count my rows - I just keep going until I reach the measurement I want or when I run out of yarn 👍🏻💕
Help! I think I missed a stitch from the previous row, as there are two of the single stitch holes next to each other. What do I do? I'm going to rip out the previous row because I want to keep going, but if it happens again, is there a way to fix it?? TIA
No, you’ll have to rip
It out and fix it but great that you caught it quickly! 👏🏻💕
Is the wool like a chenille.
Very similar - it’s described as chenille but it’s not as slippery/soft as other types and doesn’t shed as much as other chenille style yarns.
What width and length is recommended for a baby crib blanket?
I’m not sure off the top of my head , but you can Google that easily to find out . Search “width and length for a baby’s crib blanket “
Then use the width measurement to create your chain.
@@PlayHookywithMe thank you!!
Gourgous
How much will is required to complete a blanket ?
I explain that in the video and description box
Could you show this video for left handed people. Thank you.
Can you put a border around this?
Sure 💕
This stitch is called the “wattle” stitch lots of nice tutorials out there on this
From what I understand, the Wattle has a ch between the two stitches.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what stitch to do for the border ?
Thank you and many blessings 🤍🤍🤍

@@PlayHookywithMe thank you so much! This was very helpful🤍
How many skeins for 5 x 6 foot?
I used 6 skeins but it was just shy of 6ft at 5.5 ft. So I’d recommend 7 if you can buy them individually.
I bought by packs of 2 when I ordered . 👍🏻💕
Is a skein equal to a ball?
Yes 👍🏻
I don't get it. I was trying to sample it. When i chain 12.add 2. Go into second chain. Follow pattern. I get to the end and have 4 stitches left when i should have two. I am counting my stitches as i go along. So i get 12 stitches on the finished row and have two chain stitches left over.
That’s odd , not sure why that is happening 🤔
@PlayHookywithMe yeah, so I had 13 stitches working. It works out the same design wise. I'm not a great crocheter apparently lol
I somehow lost stitches and didn’t realize it until I was done. I lost A LOT. I want to make another blanket but cautious as I am not sure what I did wrong. My foundation row is about 5 inches wider than my last row. 😮😢🤦🏻♀️
Oh damn , were you counting along the way - it really helps to check in with yourself every few rows. You’re not alone, it’s very common with crochet regardless of the projects.
💕
I put a stitch marker each end to help me keep an eye on my end of rows. Hope this helps
I want to learn putting two stitch together in one space
Watch this and practice it on a small sample . You’ll get the idea of it quickly 👍🏻🧶❤️
@@PlayHookywithMe that is a good idea and then I can a scarf or table top runner.
@@debrawolleycrochet yes!! 😀👏🏻
@@PlayHookywithMe I finished a table runner using the suzette stitch it's rose with cream sc boarder. Iam now working on a scarf with bulky yarn with this stitch. Awaiting next week for my bulky yarn todo the blanket.
My bulky yarn was discontinued so I have to go to the yarn store and see what they got. I was going to use that bulky yarn for this blanket.
You lost me at slip knot I'm 😭😭 I'm trying to figure out how tf you did that what
If you watch my most recent video on amigurumi , I share how to make a slip knot more slowly.

I’ve watched your video many times and your instructions don’t match. In your video you do 1sc and 1dc in the same stitch then skip a stitch. Your instructions say to do 1sc and 2dc in the same stitch then skip 2 stitches. You may want to correct this. Thanks
Hi Michael. It is not the same pattern as the video tutorial. This is the pattern for the "Blanket Stitch" which is a variation to the Suzette stitch that I share in the beginning. I wanted to share that stitch in case someone wanted to try that option. Thanks!
If you listen to the intro you'll see what I mean.
