    Very good tutorial! Excellent 😊. Sometimes people who create their tutorials talk too much (over explain) or their music drowns out their voice. Good job 👏🏻

    This is beautiful. I’m wondering how the ends burned together will hold up in the wash? The checkerboard blanket is gorgeous.

    • @melissal219

      So far in my experience they are holding up better than knots. I think because the plastic cord in the centre is being fused together.
      However I see some other creators saying they prefer making a knot or tying their ends together with thread. So it might be a personal preference thing as well 😊

      They do hold up during washing

    Great video. Can you make one with more then two colors of plaid and also with the sides braided by dropping the first stitch? Hopefully you understand what I mean. Again, thanks for the great video! 😁

    • @melissal219
      @melissal219  8 місяців тому

      I think I know what you mean, yes! My next video I have planned is a striped one with two colours and a braided border (by dropping the first stitch). I’ll write down your idea of multiple colours for a plaid blanket! 😊

    Is this technique called the intarsia

    • @melissal219
      @melissal219  7 місяців тому

      I think you’re right! I’ve never heard of this term before, but I think it is called intarsia, or maybe a version of it 😊

    • @melissal219

      You would need to follow a different pattern if you want to use knitting / crochet needles! This type of pattern is called hand knitting, so it’s meant to use no needles or hooks.
      Try searching something like “chunky crochet blanket ” on UA-cam and look for ones that use a hook 😊

      you would use US 50 knitting needle. this is not crochet.
      i would recommend just hand knitting for such a simple stitch pattern. something with lace work or brioche may need the needle.
