I took a break crocheting because I lost my daddy in December.. but I’m back and honestly this is what I needed!!! I’m putting all of my love for my daddy into this one.. Thank you for this video! -love a grieving friend from Chicago 🩷
I'm so sorry to hear that 💖 I hope your blanket turned out well, I'm just starting to learn at 36 😅 Haven't even gotten the hooks I ordered yet but I'm looking for an easy blanket to start with. Sending love and healing hugs from Ireland 🇮🇪💖
I’m so sorry that you lost your daddy. I lost my dad when I was still in school, and it was like I was in a new club with members who didn’t want to be in the club… It’s like you either know, or you don’t.(about how it feels to lose a parent.) it will get better in time, I promise, but it will still be there. It will just change, where you can remember and talk about happy things without being so devastatingly sad all the time. (Someone told me that and I hung onto it really dark days. So I’m now saying it for you to hang onto ) I bet your daddy loves you to the moon and back, and he wouldn’t want you to be sad forever… He would want you to live your life until you can see each other again!
after playing with this stitch, my son with sensory issues fell in love with the swatches. Took me a while, but I made him a queen size blanket in this stitch. We spent a fun day shopping for a yarn he liked. I just want to say thank you for this tutorial.
I have watched many videos and yours is the first one that I have ever had someone cheer me on. 'You've got this' 'I will see you at the end of the row' you area great teacher!
I have been crocheting for 40 years and watching / learning on youtube for many years ! YOU ARE THE EASIEST PERSON to listen to 🤗🤗 so cute and fun ! Thank you and im subscribed !!!! Have a happy day Tiffany !!!
I don't ever comment but I really need to say thank you. I love crochet and knitting but I can only basically do chains. I cannot read patterns and any other videos I found stress me out and overwhelmed me. I am so thankful I came across this video and I am almost in tears excited that this is a pattern that I can understand and do! Thank you so much!
I crochet baby blankets for a local hospital. Ever since I discovered you, I only make your patterns! They are all beautiful and work with any yarn I have used. I especially love your Easy Baby Blanket for Absolute Beginners, sleepy baby blanket. I just finished my THIRD blanket using that pattern and couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
This is a fabulous beginner project. I literally just taught myself to crochet on this blanket. I love how it turned out. The first few inches went slow bc I was starting from almost no knowledge but the rest flew by! Thank you.
Omg... I am a beginner... And I over committed to making blankets for my 5 younger neices and nephews, and eventually their parents... But I love this pattern, love that I can do it.... And I am so excited to get started. I let each child and set of parents pick their yarn, and thank you for the turns and completion of the blanket in this video! I've got it saved for when I question myself 😅
Thank you love… new follower here! I’m planning to make an afghan for every one of my children before they grow up and move out! I did the margarite stitch for my daughter, now this for my son… then I have a cluster and popcorn and a granny planned… thank you!
Started this blanket with 300 stitches, man o man, it’s taking forever for it to grow. The stitch produces a heavy blanket though and will be lovely when it’s finished.
Oh my goodness! That will be a big blanket! Yes it will grow slowly but that’s just because of the size. It will look beautiful!!! Keep with it. Hopefully you picked a yarn color that you love to keep you inspired with the project. 😊❤️🧶
Hi I Like Squirrels 1234! I love that you and your mom have started crocheting together! That is so heartfelt and just so cool. I hope you like my videos. Let me know if you have any questions. 😊🧡🧶
The glue. O-m-g! Game changer. I’m currently making a blanket and using this glue as I go. I’ve been knitting and crocheting for 40 years and just over the top excited and happy with this glue. I use the tip of a toothpick to shove it inside a stitch and it’s hidden and secure. THANK YOU for the best and helpful tip ever! 👍🏻❤️
Love your tutorials! As a newbie to crochet, I just completed my first blanket using this tutorial and it turned out awesome! So easy to follow. I am definitely subscribing to learn more. Thanks!
Just want to say "THANKYOU" for all the great tutorials and tips & hints! You are a wonderful instructor. So easy to follow...love how you show us how to join yarn. And love watching you also on the Crochet channel.
Hi Tiffany! As a crocheter for almost 30 years, I love your clarity if both speech and demonstration. Not a criticism -- I'm so glad you put in the " info boxes" that clarify that these are POST stitches, not front or back LOOP stitches! New crocheters can get terminology overload and this correction is appreciated! I've been making blankets using the alpine stitch for years... most recently using a 7mm hook on size 3 yarn (Baby Bee Sweet Delight). I find that using a slightly larger hook like you did works well, but a relatively HUGE hook gives a very lightweight drapey fabric that is still warm because of the 3-D nature of the stitch pattern. Keep on posting! 🎉
So glad I watched this love the stitch and the glue went right out and bought a bottle and it works perfect thank you I have been crocheting for 50 years and never knew about the glue I started crocheting when I was 10 😃
Be forewarned! This pattern makes a very heavy blanket. For a throw it would be fine but my super queen blanket is super heavy and there's no way my washing machine will be able to handle the weight when wet.
Thank you so much for teaching this stitch, which you do so clearly! I absolutely love this stitch, perhaps it’s the woven look of it which seems so fresh & new. I’m doing a soft variegated cotton yarn of Peaches & Crème brand, and it’s so pretty & so relaxing as you said. I especially like how you do the end of each row. You have made it all so simple to follow! Thank you!
Very nice stitch and your explanation is straightforward and easily understood. Thank you for this pattern. I will be doing it a bit tighter as I will be making a child's blanket for Keep America Warm. Something a little more special than single and double crochet. Thank you again!
Hi Alixandrina! How awesome! I'm glad you like this stitch. So happy it will be used to make a blanket to help Keep America Warm. Thank you so much for sharing. 😊🧡🧶
I'm using Bernat baby crushed velvet yarn and I'm enjoying making a throw with this stitch. Your really know how to transmit knowledge, you're a great teacher Tiffany. You are also sharing finishing tips, I will definitely apply them too. Thank you so much!
Hi Neyda! I love that you are using the crushed velvet yarn. I bet that is so pretty and so soft! Thank you so much for the compliment. I am so glad that I could be helpful. 😊🧶🧡
First of all thank you for the specific details in your video. Would not have been able to use this stitch without your video. However, I had to modify the pattern. The first row came out perfectly, front, back, front, back. Unfortunately, when I started the second row, crocheting opposite of the first row, it was too bulky for me. So instead, I did the first row with the front/back, the second row a plain double crochet all the way across. Going back the other direction for the third row I did the front/back stitches. I alternated rows the rest of the blanket & its beautiful. I've made a lot of afghans both for babies & for adults. I think this might be my favorite pattern. Thank you from Omaha, Nebraska
Thanks for sharing! I’ve crocheted for over 30 years and never thought to use fabric glue. I always use a needle to weave in my ends but you are correct that no matter how good you are those ends WILL pop out eventually. Just because your family/friends don’t tell you doesn’t mean they don’t pop out! I appreciate this tip and thanks again for sharing!👍🏻
You are most welcome! I'm so happy I could bring up something new for you after 30 years of crocheting. That's really cool! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊💖
I’ve got a crocheted lap granny rug my mum made 80 years ago and it’s been used constantly and not a single end has come out. I think it depends on how you weave them in.
I've crocheted over 40 years and used many different fabric glues. It does works but you need to be careful to make sure to use the smallest amount or it will to dry very hard and be noticeable in touch as well as sight.
@@Soffity Probably, also, what fiber the yarn is, will affect the outcome. I have bamboo yarn that I don't think I would trust to hold it's ends in, for example.
@@ashleyvincent1860 I’ve used bamboo 70% wool 30 % yarns but not 100% bamboo. The ends haven’t come out so far and it’s been 6 years. I hear you can get glue that stays soft when it sets so you don’t have hard lumps but I’ll stick to my crochet in as I go technique as it’s worked for me so far.l fingers crossed.
I made an afghan using this stitch with Lion brand Mandala yarn Made it with the stripes running vertically. I think it turned out very well. I love this stitch.
I'm late to the party, but from jewelry crafting... we always glue our knots. I'll be blending our ways and glue both the knot and the end of the woven tail. Thanks for the glue knowledge! But I came for the pattern and it it so pretty and so easy. And reversible! Thanks again~
Tiffany, thank you so much for teaching me this stitch. I have a #6 bulky yarn I bought for my daughter and did a sample. You were absolutely right, this stitch looks gorgeous on all yarn types! I also glued my ends as you suggested and have had great luck with that method. Nice and secure! Love your channel and your manner of teaching! Thanks again! 😀
I am so happy that you had such a great experience with this pattern and the fabric glue! Not surprised, this pattern is so pretty. Thank you so much for watching! 😊❤️🧶
In my 58 yes I never glued any yarn. Might want to think ahead of your project and use a old fashion knot. Over time and washings there is no way my kids blanket could survive. Love your work and keep up the good work.
I just loved your video on how to work this beautiful stitch! Thank you so much for offering this to the public that wants to learn. You are so pretty and explained everything very clearly and with a smile! Can’t wait to see your other videos!
You are so right. I am doing this stitch with my current project. Its simple and versatile with any wool. Beautiful pattern formed and if you do make an error, you soon find out a few stitches ahead. Thank you so much
I'm starting mine today. So far all is going well, I'm a beginner self taught through youtube. I have made several beanie hats and scarves and even a pair of mittens. This is going to be my first blanket. Wish me luck!
i must say what beautiful manicure you have with the perfect nail color, (not a distraction color)what a beautiful crochet stitch, it looks 3D. it looks warm and tight. thank you for sharing. God bless you beautiful little hands 🤗🙋🙏
Yes! SAME!!! I've tried crochet over the years and will make a few things(basic endless sc or dc) and get bored because new stitches are so hard to get being self taught but this video is very clear so I have subscribed and cant wait to learn new stitches from this woman!!!
This is the first time me viewing your channel I absolutely love the way you teach step-by-step I am absolutely a beginner please keep up the good work
This blanket is gorgeous!! A few things I need to mention: .....I learned to crochet when I was 18 and now I am in my 60's. I have also won many awards for my work. Always leave a long tail for weaving in ends!! Never leave a short tail. When the piece is washed over and over the ends WILL come out!! It must be sturdy to last a lifetime! Make sure you weave in with a needle and weave every thread in opposite directions. NEVER use a hook or glue when weaving in ends! !! Your ends should be at least 7 inches long or more for a secure weave. If the yarn has multiple plies you can also separate them and weave all of those in instead. It's up to you but this makes it much less able to undo when washing and using the blanket.
Watching from the highlands in Scotland and love this. My grandson has autism and I feel this pattern will be perfect for him he’s next on the gift list. Subscribed and watching xx thank you
Hi Jayne! Welcome! I can't tell you how excited I am to have reached you. UA-cam definitely makes this world seem smaller as we can connect with each other. I hope to visit Scotland one day. On my bucket list. Thank you for sharing that you think this pattern would be good for your grandson with autism. I am all about helping people and if this texture would be intriguing for someone with autism I definitely want to incorporate it in a sensory project I've been working on behind the scenes. 😊❤️🧶
Tip: Instead of having ends sticking out where you attach a new skein, I use an invisible join. It produces a very small knot with no ends and is virtually undetectable.
Hi Luna! Yes! I completely agree. I made this blanket tutorial before getting introduced to the invisible knot and now yes that is the way I would go. Thank you so much for the tip 😉❤️🧶
Thank you ! I hadn't crocheted in a very long time. I just finished a little baby blanket using this tutorial. I used yarn that had multiple colors so I never had to switch colors and with this pattern I did not have to count. Great way to get back into it. Also loved the info on joining up the yarn from multiple skeins.. Great explanations.
What a lovely stitch! Thank you for sharing. It makes me so happy to see young women who love yarn and who love making beautiful projects that will be treasured for years!
It amazes me that of all the patterns and whatnot I've looked through, you're the FIRST to suggest fabric glue to keep those darn ends from coming out. I've finished maybe 4 projects now and woven the ends in and kind of looked at them distrustingly....definitely buying fabric glue now though! Thanks for the video!
Awesome! So happy I could provide a possible trick for you to keep in your pocket. 😉. I’m actually releasing a video Friday about weaving in ends and I do talk about the fabric glue a little more in detail. You should really check it out especially if you’re thinking about buying some! 😁👍🏻❤️🧶
that's because most crocheters and knitters never use glue. google a spit-join or a russian join. that connects your two pieces of yarn as you're crocheting them and you don't have ends to weave in. it's also strong and you don't have to worry about them coming apart. if you do have ends to weave in, use a tapestry needle and make sure to go into/through the stitches (splitting the yarn) as you weave the ends in. they'll be fine without glue. if you use a hook like in this video they aren't really bound to anything and they'll work their way out.
I love the stitch and your blanket is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your time and the information, great tutorial. I have a learning disability, so I learn by re-watching all of my you tube gurus, y'all are so brave doing videos. I love being able to come on and learn at my own pace for free. I'm too OCD to glue 🤣 I totally worry about my work falling apart in the wash, so I leave decent length tails in sew them in nicely. Tails are my personal security blanket, pun intended lol.
you just changed the game by giving the fabric glue trick! OMG! I am fairly new to the crochet world having only been crocheting for two years. I took it on because I had knee reconstruction and needed something to do and just kept it up and LOVE IT!
Haha nobody’s said that yet. Change’n the game. There are definitely people that are excited to try it out and well some people that aren’t and that’s ok. But for me, it’s magic 😉. So glad you started crocheting! It’s so much fun ❤️🧶
I always am learning something new. Thank you for the fabric glue secret. I will be using this in future projects. I've always hidden tails but never used the glue. I will from now on.
Do not use glue on a yarn project. Just weave in the ends correctly and they won’t come out. First of all, she doesn’t leave ends that are long enough in the tutorial. Ends should be at least 8” long, and you weave them in with a yarn needle, not a crochet hook. Follow the curves of the stitches and then anchor the ends in the last couple of weaves by piercing through a yarn strand to hold them in . They’ll never pop out in the wash.
Loved this tutorial, you explain everything so clearly and I appreciate that you go over the same thing plenty of times, thankyou. I recently returned to knitting after many years and I’m looking forward to having a go at crochet. I think this would be a great place to start. Thankyou for sharing😊
Loved this tutorial! I've crochet baby blankets for years..have done alot of front posts and back posts to look like a basket weave. I absolutely love this stitch..how beautiful..especially with that yarn! I have always sew-in my ends with the same results you talked about. Can't wait to use the glue! You couldn't even see it when you are done! Well done!
Thank you so much! I’m excited for you to give the fabric glue a try. Make sure that the fabric glue you use dries clear and flexibly. Some don’t. I put a product link in the notes section. You can either purchase from the link or just look at what it is for a visual reference. Let me know if you use the fabric glue and what you think 😉😊❤️🧶
I am just picking up crocheting again and I love your channel to help teach me. I never really got good, so with your videos I think I will stick with it this time and get better at patterns. Thank you!
Thank you for this! Your instructions were clear and easy enough for a beginner crocheter to get. I now have a new way to make a blanket besides the never ending granny square. 😊🧶
I always wash after I complete a project, (blanket) it’s amazing how much softer a blanket gets in the DRYER. A lot of the weight of yarn is the dye. Of course never do that with wool. Never saw anyone use glue before, it’s not a bad idea. Nice stitch, btw.
I love the way this pattern is working up I'm making my sister-in-law and Afghan. I went up a hook size like you suggested. It's coming out so much softer I just love it thank you so much
I have boxes of yarn that I fell in love with at the store and bought with no idea in mind what I was going to do with it....Just knew I needed to have it! lol
I just received my beginner kit to try crochet out. (i know it's not recommended to buy kits but i tend to give up on projects I start) I used to crochet with my grandma when I was 4-5 years old and thought I'd give it a new try as an adult. Found a video about beginner projects from Elise which lead me here. This seems like a very good project to just begin and get used to using a crochet hook. So I'm going to gather a bit more wool of the same color and fabric glue and I'm going to give this a try. Thank you for the clear instructions!
Hi @Inariann! I'm so happy for you to keep trying on your journey with crochet. I'm also so glad that you found my channel from Elise! She's amazing and has an amazing channel. I hope you have fun making this blanket! Please let me know if you have any questions. 😊💖🧶
I’ve been crocheting for over 50 years and wove in my ends the entire time, I have never heard of fabric glue, I’m going to buy some tomorrow, thank you!
Hi Susan! I am so excited to have you give the fabric glue a try! Side note, I learned how to do the Invisible Knot trick after making this video to join a new skein of yarn into the project that completely takes away any need to weave in your ends within the project. I would highly recommend only using the fabric glue to weave in your beginning and ending tails now. Check out my tutorial link here to see me showing how to do the invisible knot. It's crazy easy and so fast. Time Stamp 16:58 ua-cam.com/video/lLlzouuSwv4/v-deo.html 👍😊🧡🧶
I'm new at all this - just finish a baby blanket and decided I'd store it away - all because I did crochet my ends "into" the blanket - but they all see to be coming up...so I am now going to try the fabric glue - it might actually save this project! thank you.
Hi Patricia! Oh my gosh this is the perfect situation where the fabric glue really shines. Make sure that when you get your fabric glue it says on the label that it dries Clear and Flexibly. Super important. Not all Fabric Glue does. I have attached product links in the description part of my videos if you want to check out what I use. You don't have to buy from the link but it gives you a visual of what you should be looking for. Good Luck with those ends! Oh I am so excited for you to finish this baby blanket and have it ready for baby! Let me know what you think of the Fabric Glue if you try it. 😊💖
I have used Dritz Fray Check for many years for the same purpose you use the glue. Wet the knot or woven in ends with it before trimming close to the knot. Let dry before trimming. Also, using a tapestry needle and weaving through the plies of the yarn will give a stronger hold.
Love the blanket, love the way you teach. But in over 40 years of crocheting and knitting I can give you two tips - Never join in the middle of a row & never use glue
I’ve been crocheting for 40 years too, and I was like: “what are you doing?! You never use glue on a project!” She didn’t leave ends that were long enough to weave in correctly. I think she was given very bad info when she was taught to crochet. I think she really doesn’t know any better. She also doesn’t know how to weave in the ends correctly and anchor the ends of the stitches right. I think that if she knew how to do it right she’d be an excellent teacher, but that part alone is really throwing people off.
@@kaprikablitz4476 the point is, that its not working for her if she has to use glue and she is putting this out there as a tutorial for others. Handcrafts such as this can be handed down from generation to generation with much love and reverance for the hard work and love that is included in every stitch - this can all come undone (pardon the pun) at some point
I have over 50+ years crocheting. My mother taught me a knot to join yarns and for the end of the project that not even my husband can pull apart or can you tell where you joined. And if use it at the end it is so invisible I have my own mark so I know where my project ends once you know how to make it and place it. I perfected it over the years. I have projects I made ten years ago that have been washed and dried more times then I can remember using my knots. But hey those are my knots and choice. So if she uses glue to make sure her excess yarn doesn't pull up from where she joined. If it works it works. After all it is the excess yarn after she joined yarns together. Hey I have seen some very strong glue out there for crafts.
Thank you for really explaining how to end a row. As a newbie crocheter I find most tutorials and patterns don't explain this well and it can be confusing.
Hi Tiffany just ran across your video very interesting n thank you for sharing I’m going to try your blanket stitch soon so will keep in touch blesses n cheers from Pacific side of Canada 🇨🇦
I absolutely love this. Having worked with front and back loop crochet, I know exactly how to do this and I can't wait to get started. Looks so soft yet durable. BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you.
@@moniquecaton3285 I am so glad others caught that. As you know they are 2 completely different stitches and will be done wrong if a beginner is working on a pattern and uses her terminology which isn't the standard.

I'm using Bernat baby crushed velvet yarn and I'm enjoying making a throw with this stitch. Your really know how to transmit knowledge, you're a great teacher Tiffany. You are also sharing finishing tips, I will definitely apply them too. Thank you so much!
Hi Neyda! I love that you are using the crushed velvet yarn. I bet that is so pretty and so soft! Thank you so much for the compliment. I am so glad that I could be helpful. 😊🧶🧡
First of all thank you for the specific details in your video. Would not have been able to use this stitch without your video. However, I had to modify the pattern. The first row came out perfectly, front, back, front, back. Unfortunately, when I started the second row, crocheting opposite of the first row, it was too bulky for me. So instead, I did the first row with the front/back, the second row a plain double crochet all the way across. Going back the other direction for the third row I did the front/back stitches. I alternated rows the rest of the blanket & its beautiful. I've made a lot of afghans both for babies & for adults. I think this might be my favorite pattern. Thank you from Omaha, Nebraska
I was looking for just this!! I bought a beautiful yarn so I want the Yarn to be the star of the show!!! Thank you, thank you!!
THANK YOU!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PATTERN. CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT!!!! AND THR GLUE TIP.... CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! GENIUS!!!!
👍🏻😊❤️🧶
Thanks for sharing! I’ve crocheted for over 30 years and never thought to use fabric glue. I always use a needle to weave in my ends but you are correct that no matter how good you are those ends WILL pop out eventually. Just because your family/friends don’t tell you doesn’t mean they don’t pop out!
I appreciate this tip and thanks again for sharing!👍🏻
You are most welcome! I'm so happy I could bring up something new for you after 30 years of crocheting. That's really cool! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊💖
I’ve got a crocheted lap granny rug my mum made 80 years ago and it’s been used constantly and not a single end has come out. I think it depends on how you weave them in.
I've crocheted over 40 years and used many different fabric glues. It does works but you need to be careful to make sure to use the smallest amount or it will to dry very hard and be noticeable in touch as well as sight.
@@Soffity Probably, also, what fiber the yarn is, will affect the outcome. I have bamboo yarn that I don't think I would trust to hold it's ends in, for example.
@@ashleyvincent1860 I’ve used bamboo 70% wool 30 % yarns but not 100% bamboo. The ends haven’t come out so far and it’s been 6 years. I hear you can get glue that stays soft when it sets so you don’t have hard lumps but I’ll stick to my crochet in as I go technique as it’s worked for me so far.l fingers crossed.
What a great instructor and pattern. I just weave in differently which is tighter.
I made an afghan using this stitch with Lion brand Mandala yarn Made it with the stripes running vertically. I think it turned out very well. I love this stitch.
Glad to learn the front and back post. No need to count is great. Thank you.
Wow, great video, great info. You covered all the big questions with easily accessable information to download or print. Thank you so much.
I'm late to the party, but from jewelry crafting... we always glue our knots. I'll be blending our ways and glue both the knot and the end of the woven tail. Thanks for the glue knowledge! But I came for the pattern and it it so pretty and so easy. And reversible! Thanks again~
Also our yarn and glue is different now than it was traditionally so if someone want to be historically accurate there are other channels for that~
Tiffany, thank you so much for teaching me this stitch. I have a #6 bulky yarn I bought for my daughter and did a sample. You were absolutely right, this stitch looks gorgeous on all yarn types! I also glued my ends as you suggested and have had great luck with that method. Nice and secure! Love your channel and your manner of teaching! Thanks again! 😀
I am so happy that you had such a great experience with this pattern and the fabric glue! Not surprised, this pattern is so pretty. Thank you so much for watching! 😊❤️🧶
In my 58 yes I never glued any yarn. Might want to think ahead of your project and use a old fashion knot. Over time and washings there is no way my kids blanket could survive. Love your work and keep up the good work.
My favorite tutorial by far!!!!! Love the way you explain the steps!
Yay! Thank you so much! So glad I could be helpful. 😊🧡🧶
Thank yu for explain it slow
Beautiful pattern. I started already different blanket, but I'm thinking that I will make this one. Thank you. Greetings from Poland.
Love the blanket just learning to do front and back post so timing is great thank you
Thank you for teaching this beautiful pattern. I appreciate your teaching method.
I just loved your video on how to work this beautiful stitch! Thank you so much for offering this to the public that wants to learn. You are so pretty and explained everything very clearly and with a smile! Can’t wait to see your other videos!
You are so right. I am doing this stitch with my current project. Its simple and versatile with any wool. Beautiful pattern formed and if you do make an error, you soon find out a few stitches ahead. Thank you so much
i Sadiyah! I'm so excited you are making this blanket! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊🧡🧶
Thank you very much for sharing your pattern. I love it. You have an amazing day too ❤
I'm starting mine today. So far all is going well, I'm a beginner self taught through youtube. I have made several beanie hats and scarves and even a pair of mittens. This is going to be my first blanket. Wish me luck!
Wishing you Good Luck Debra! I'm excited for you to make this blanket! 😊🧡🧶
I love how thorough you are in your illustrations. Making it easy for us to follow your example.
i must say what beautiful manicure you have with the perfect nail color, (not a distraction color)what a beautiful crochet stitch, it looks 3D. it looks warm and tight. thank you for sharing. God bless you beautiful little hands 🤗🙋🙏
Have been trying to master this st. forever! Your video is so clear. Thank you. I am going to watch everything you do from now on.
Carol S. Ortiz Ortiz awesome! I’m so glad I could help! Thank you so much. Let me know if I can help in any way 😊❤️🧶
Yes! SAME!!! I've tried crochet over the years and will make a few things(basic endless sc or dc) and get bored because new stitches are so hard to get being self taught but this video is very clear so I have subscribed and cant wait to learn new stitches from this woman!!!
Hi, I like you teaching and showing very clearly makes is easy to understand and I will keep watching your video . Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching! I'm so glad my explanation was easy to understand. 💖💖💖
This is the first time me viewing your channel I absolutely love the way you teach step-by-step I am absolutely a beginner please keep up the good work
Thanks Tiffany I am watching all your videos and enjoying them ,thanks for all you share ,you are amazing ,xxx
🥰🥰🥰 Thank you so much for watching!
This blanket is gorgeous!! A few things I need to mention: .....I learned to crochet when I was 18 and now I am in my 60's. I have also won many awards for my work. Always leave a long tail for weaving in ends!! Never leave a short tail. When the piece is washed over and over the ends WILL come out!! It must be sturdy to last a lifetime! Make sure you weave in with a needle and weave every thread in opposite directions. NEVER use a hook or glue when weaving in ends! !! Your ends should be at least 7 inches long or more for a secure weave. If the yarn has multiple plies you can also separate them and weave all of those in instead. It's up to you but this makes it much less able to undo when washing and using the blanket.
Im 9 and i know to chrochet
You are awesome! Thank you so much for making this video! Have a great night!
Watching from the highlands in Scotland and love this. My grandson has autism and I feel this pattern will be perfect for him he’s next on the gift list. Subscribed and watching xx thank you
Hi Jayne! Welcome! I can't tell you how excited I am to have reached you. UA-cam definitely makes this world seem smaller as we can connect with each other. I hope to visit Scotland one day. On my bucket list. Thank you for sharing that you think this pattern would be good for your grandson with autism. I am all about helping people and if this texture would be intriguing for someone with autism I definitely want to incorporate it in a sensory project I've been working on behind the scenes. 😊❤️🧶
Thanks
Thank you so very much Amanda for the Super Thanks. It truly means a lot! 😊❤️🧶
Tip: Instead of having ends sticking out where you attach a new skein, I use an invisible join. It produces a very small knot with no ends and is virtually undetectable.
Hi Luna! Yes! I completely agree. I made this blanket tutorial before getting introduced to the invisible knot and now yes that is the way I would go. Thank you so much for the tip 😉❤️🧶
You are the VERY first person that I have ever seen, that holds your thread exactly like I hold mine!!! ♥️
I'm so glad I can represent! There are not many but more than a few that hold their yarn like this. 😊❤️🧶
@@CrochetWithTiffanyit’s yarn, thank you!
Thank you ! I hadn't crocheted in a very long time. I just finished a little baby blanket using this tutorial. I used yarn that had multiple colors so I never had to switch colors and with this pattern I did not have to count. Great way to get back into it. Also loved the info on joining up the yarn from multiple skeins.. Great explanations.
You are so welcome! I am so happy I could help you get excited about crocheting again. 😊🧡🧶
I’m looking for the part where it talks about joining yarn. Help!
@@jenniferhamilton675 U can find few tips vids like this one to help u joining them ua-cam.com/video/s6fd6uLAZIA/v-deo.html
Thank you! Love your work! Will try making this pattern! I am a knitter for 75 years but crocheting is not that easy for me. Will try ❤
What a lovely stitch! Thank you for sharing. It makes me so happy to see young women who love yarn and who love making beautiful projects that will be treasured for years!
I LOVE this! TY ❤ - went up from 5mm to 6mm and what a beautiful baby blanket it’s turning into!!!!!
It amazes me that of all the patterns and whatnot I've looked through, you're the FIRST to suggest fabric glue to keep those darn ends from coming out. I've finished maybe 4 projects now and woven the ends in and kind of looked at them distrustingly....definitely buying fabric glue now though! Thanks for the video!
Awesome! So happy I could provide a possible trick for you to keep in your pocket. 😉. I’m actually releasing a video Friday about weaving in ends and I do talk about the fabric glue a little more in detail. You should really check it out especially if you’re thinking about buying some! 😁👍🏻❤️🧶
Me too.x
that's because most crocheters and knitters never use glue. google a spit-join or a russian join. that connects your two pieces of yarn as you're crocheting them and you don't have ends to weave in. it's also strong and you don't have to worry about them coming apart. if you do have ends to weave in, use a tapestry needle and make sure to go into/through the stitches (splitting the yarn) as you weave the ends in. they'll be fine without glue. if you use a hook like in this video they aren't really bound to anything and they'll work their way out.
Me too. Funny thing is.... I already have some of this glue and never knew to do this. Thanks Tiffany
I just bought that yarn a few days ago. I fell in love also.I really love Hobby Lobby cotton yarns. They are so soft.
Yes, the softest cotton yarn I've ever used!
I love the stitch and your blanket is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your time and the information, great tutorial. I have a learning disability, so I learn by re-watching all of my you tube gurus, y'all are so brave doing videos. I love being able to come on and learn at my own pace for free. I'm too OCD to glue 🤣 I totally worry about my work falling apart in the wash, so I leave decent length tails in sew them in nicely. Tails are my personal security blanket, pun intended lol.
Where have you been all my life of crocheting?
You are so slow and easy to understand 😊
Thank you for putting this pattern up! I started doing one of my own and it’s coming out beautifully.
Hi Liza! Oh YAY! I'm so excited for you to make this project! It is one of my favorite patterns. I'm so glad it is coming out beautifully for you. 😊🧡🧶
you just changed the game by giving the fabric glue trick! OMG! I am fairly new to the crochet world having only been crocheting for two years. I took it on because I had knee reconstruction and needed something to do and just kept it up and LOVE IT!
Haha nobody’s said that yet. Change’n the game. There are definitely people that are excited to try it out and well some people that aren’t and that’s ok. But for me, it’s magic 😉. So glad you started crocheting! It’s so much fun ❤️🧶
Thank you for the measurement chart. That will come in real handy.
I m so happy for You classes good explain good understand I M great ful Now Feeling not waisted my time thank you I will started to do a new project
Wow Tiffany, your instructions are wonderful. So well explained. Again your camera focus is just perfect, the best ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
AWE!!! Thank you so much Deirdre!! 😊🧶🧡
I always am learning something new. Thank you for the fabric glue secret. I will be using this in future projects. I've always hidden tails but never used the glue. I will from now on.
Do not use glue on a yarn project. Just weave in the ends correctly and they won’t come out. First of all, she doesn’t leave ends that are long enough in the tutorial. Ends should be at least 8” long, and you weave them in with a yarn needle, not a crochet hook. Follow the curves of the stitches and then anchor the ends in the last couple of weaves by piercing through a yarn strand to hold them in . They’ll never pop out in the wash.
Loved this tutorial, you explain everything so clearly and I appreciate that you go over the same thing plenty of times, thankyou. I recently returned to knitting after many years and I’m looking forward to having a go at crochet. I think this would be a great place to start. Thankyou for sharing😊
Hi Kathryn! I'm so excited for you to make this blanket! I hope you love it! 😊🧶🧡
Very pretty stitch for a blanket. I want to try this as a stash busting blanket thank you for sharing
Oh that will look cool! Love Stash Buster projects! 😊🧡🧶
Loved this tutorial! I've crochet baby blankets for years..have done alot of front posts and back posts to look like a basket weave. I absolutely love this stitch..how beautiful..especially with that yarn! I have always sew-in my ends with the same results you talked about. Can't wait to use the glue! You couldn't even see it when you are done! Well done!
Thank you so much! I’m excited for you to give the fabric glue a try. Make sure that the fabric glue you use dries clear and flexibly. Some don’t. I put a product link in the notes section. You can either purchase from the link or just look at what it is for a visual reference. Let me know if you use the fabric glue and what you think 😉😊❤️🧶
I am just picking up crocheting again and I love your channel to help teach me. I never really got good, so with your videos I think I will stick with it this time and get better at patterns. Thank you!
Thank you for this! Your instructions were clear and easy enough for a beginner crocheter to get. I now have a new way to make a blanket besides the never ending granny square. 😊🧶
I love it! So excited that I could help you try something new!!
I always wash after I complete a project, (blanket) it’s amazing how much softer a blanket gets in the DRYER. A lot of the weight of yarn is the dye. Of course never do that with wool. Never saw anyone use glue before, it’s not a bad idea. Nice stitch, btw.
I love the way this pattern is working up I'm making my sister-in-law and Afghan. I went up a hook size like you suggested. It's coming out so much softer I just love it thank you so much
Hi Carol!! Thank you for watching! I’m so happy you’re enjoying the project. No doubt your sister-in-law is going to love it! 😁❤️🧶
I have boxes of yarn that I fell in love with at the store and bought with no idea in mind what I was going to do with it....Just knew I needed to have it! lol
I just received my beginner kit to try crochet out. (i know it's not recommended to buy kits but i tend to give up on projects I start) I used to crochet with my grandma when I was 4-5 years old and thought I'd give it a new try as an adult. Found a video about beginner projects from Elise which lead me here. This seems like a very good project to just begin and get used to using a crochet hook. So I'm going to gather a bit more wool of the same color and fabric glue and I'm going to give this a try. Thank you for the clear instructions!
Hi @Inariann! I'm so happy for you to keep trying on your journey with crochet. I'm also so glad that you found my channel from Elise! She's amazing and has an amazing channel. I hope you have fun making this blanket! Please let me know if you have any questions. 😊💖🧶
Thank you for sharing this pattern, very easy to follow!
I love her encouragement. It's a beautiful project and I will definitely do it.
I'm so excited for you to work on this blanket! It is so much fun and so pretty!
Hi, just found your site; love it! You really explain stitches so completely, slowly... I'm a lefty and I can follow you easily. Thank you!!!!
I’ve been crocheting for over 50 years and wove in my ends the entire time, I have never heard of fabric glue, I’m going to buy some tomorrow, thank you!
Hi Susan! I am so excited to have you give the fabric glue a try! Side note, I learned how to do the Invisible Knot trick after making this video to join a new skein of yarn into the project that completely takes away any need to weave in your ends within the project. I would highly recommend only using the fabric glue to weave in your beginning and ending tails now. Check out my tutorial link here to see me showing how to do the invisible knot. It's crazy easy and so fast. Time Stamp 16:58 ua-cam.com/video/lLlzouuSwv4/v-deo.html 👍😊🧡🧶
I'm pretty sure glue is not nesseery at all.
I'm new at all this - just finish a baby blanket and decided I'd store it away - all because I did crochet my ends "into" the blanket - but they all see to be coming up...so I am now going to try the fabric glue - it might actually save this project! thank you.
Hi Patricia! Oh my gosh this is the perfect situation where the fabric glue really shines. Make sure that when you get your fabric glue it says on the label that it dries Clear and Flexibly. Super important. Not all Fabric Glue does. I have attached product links in the description part of my videos if you want to check out what I use. You don't have to buy from the link but it gives you a visual of what you should be looking for. Good Luck with those ends! Oh I am so excited for you to finish this baby blanket and have it ready for baby! Let me know what you think of the Fabric Glue if you try it. 😊💖
Thanks for fabric glue suggestion! I am definitely going to get some.
I love this pattern . I am going to make a super king size blanket using this pattern . Thank you for this tutorial 😊
Susan Gardner oh wow! Please send me a picture of your super king size blanket when you finish! I would LOVE to see it 😄❤️🧶
I have used Dritz Fray Check for many years for the same purpose you use the glue. Wet the knot or woven in ends with it before trimming close to the knot. Let dry before trimming. Also, using a tapestry needle and weaving through the plies of the yarn will give a stronger hold.
Love the blanket, love the way you teach. But in over 40 years of crocheting and knitting I can give you two tips - Never join in the middle of a row & never use glue
I’ve been crocheting for 40 years too, and I was like: “what are you doing?! You never use glue on a project!” She didn’t leave ends that were long enough to weave in correctly. I think she was given very bad info when she was taught to crochet. I think she really doesn’t know any better. She also doesn’t know how to weave in the ends correctly and anchor the ends of the stitches right. I think that if she knew how to do it right she’d be an excellent teacher, but that part alone is really throwing people off.
Why does it matter as long as this is what works for her?? As long as her project looks good who truly cares. I think she did good.
@@kaprikablitz4476 the point is, that its not working for her if she has to use glue and she is putting this out there as a tutorial for others. Handcrafts such as this can be handed down from generation to generation with much love and reverance for the hard work and love that is included in every stitch - this can all come undone (pardon the pun) at some point
I have over 50+ years crocheting. My mother taught me a knot to join yarns and for the end of the project that not even my husband can pull apart or can you tell where you joined. And if use it at the end it is so invisible I have my own mark so I know where my project ends once you know how to make it and place it. I perfected it over the years. I have projects I made ten years ago that have been washed and dried more times then I can remember using my knots. But hey those are my knots and choice. So if she uses glue to make sure her excess yarn doesn't pull up from where she joined. If it works it works. After all it is the excess yarn after she joined yarns together. Hey I have seen some very strong glue out there for crafts.
@@kaprikablitz4476 you got it right.
Awesome awesome!! Thank you for the tip of the glue
You are so welcome! 😊🧶❤️
Thank you for really explaining how to end a row. As a newbie crocheter I find most tutorials and patterns don't explain this well and it can be confusing.
Hi D R! You’re most welcome! I try to think of what question I would have and go off of that. So glad my video was helpful. 😊❤️🧶
Hi Tiffany just ran across your video very interesting n thank you for sharing I’m going to try your blanket stitch soon so will keep in touch blesses n cheers from Pacific side of Canada 🇨🇦
I absolutely love this. Having worked with front and back loop crochet, I know exactly how to do this and I can't wait to get started. Looks so soft yet durable. BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you.
Except for the fact that she is not doing a front loop double crochet she is doing a front post double crochet.
@@moniquecaton3285 I am so glad others caught that. As you know they are 2 completely different stitches and will be done wrong if a beginner is working on a pattern and uses her terminology which isn't the standard.
Awesome tip about the glue! Thanks
Hi Mariza! You are most welcome! 😊❤️🧶
I am so glad that you taught this stitch. I never could figure it out on the pattern and now so simple. Keep up the good work!
Hi Patty! I am so so glad that I could help you with this stitch! It's my favorite to work with. Hope you make something fun with it! 😊🧶💖
