    OMG I am dyslexic and really struggle with any written patterns so I follow videos, this video has blown my mind I understood all that you said about how many skein’s and found this so easy to follow, thank you so much I am now an avid fan of your tutorial’s 😊

    I have been crocheting for 4 years. Experienced crocheters have just told me how to figure it all out. That was so discouraging to a beginner.
    Now I have a solid formula that will go into my binder that will be my master copy. A very huge heartfelt Thank you Tiffany 🎉

    @debbiegsyarnylove8424 3 роки тому +25

    Great information! I’ve been crocheting for years and still always wonder exactly how much yarn I need, and never really asked, just over bought or under buy! Thanks for sharing this information!

  • @guiltyhedonist
    @guiltyhedonist 22 дні тому +1

    This is great! The one problem with both of these methods is that it means you need to buy at least one "starter skein" before you know how much you will need. Some of us live 50 miles from where we can buy yarn or need to order online. So, either we may over or under-buy initially or will need to make another trip or wait on another order to be delivered to get the rest of the yarn - and run the danger of getting different dye lots. But this is great info! Thanks!

    • @CrochetWithTiffany
      @CrochetWithTiffany  15 днів тому +1

      Totally understand your situation! Honestly the BEST way to figure out exactly how much yarn you will need it to make a swatch. I have a whole Swatch Series where I show you exactly how I figure out how many stitches, rows AND approximately how much yarn I will need for a blanket project just from a swatch. But no matter what, you will have to have some yarn on hand that matches the size of the yarn you will use to figure out how much yarn you will need. With so many yarns having different thicknesses, different amounts of yards in the skein, all the different patterns, different blanket sizes AND the different stitch tension one might have, it is just impossible to provide accurate information without sampling first. 🤷🏼‍♀️💖🧶

  • @mypurplesub
    @mypurplesub 3 роки тому +8

    Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, looking at the comments I'm not alone in being incredibly grateful and happy to have this info laid out so simply and clearly. All the best for 2021 😊

  • @BabyDoveMe
    @BabyDoveMe 8 днів тому +1

    So I have to make the blanket in order to find out how many skeins I need to make the blanket, hmmmm. I am not a newbie but by far not a pro but this seems a waste of time and yarn. The 4x4 swatch seems to be easier, less time consuming, & no yarn consumption.
    However, not everybody uses the same methods so I can appreciate how you have presented a different alternative method for all of us.
    Thank you

    Thank you Tiffany. I do feel spoilt, you really look after us. This information is invaluable. Now I am in the know. I usually buy a few skeins of yarn, start off and hope for the best. Now I can be more mathematical about the whole process and not be inconvenienced by having too much left over or not enough!! Happy New Year.

  • @grammy4255
    @grammy4255 Рік тому +2

    You made a comment about starting your foundation row using a larger size hook (one up). I've noticed that my foundation row tension is a bit tighter than the rest & this should help me immensely. So often I just fly by the seat of my pants with a project.
    I just started crocheting this past December(2021). I've always admired items I've seen & FINALLY said "enough" & started watching UA-cam to teach myself the basics. I can't tell you how much I enjoy this art. I also have been working on loom knitting for 4+ years yet lately I've been doing more crochet projects than loom kintting. Every project, though not perfect, has taught me so much to apply toward another project. Thank you!

  • @negrieruiz8630
    @negrieruiz8630 2 роки тому +1

    Tiffany gracias. This will help me in the future. Sometimes I have to frog a whole blanket because I make it too long and I do not have enough yarn to finish. Now I try to make them smaller and start the border with the same yarn. If it is not big enough I used colors to make them bigger. I order yarn on sale with no specific project in mind. Most of my creations are for donations and at the same time, I learned different patterns. Every time I am ordering yarn my honey tells me "Make sure you buy extra, I do not want to hear, I do not have enough to finish this project". LOL. This video will be very helpful, thank you.

      Haha I love watching Elephants too! Love it! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like watching my videos. It's extra special when we can use our talent of crochet for good and help other people. Spreading love is one thing that if we did it more this world would be such a beautiful place. Thank you so much for making things for Features and Limited. I'll check them out. 😊🧡🧶
