Hi there. I love knitting this pattern. Im trying to figure out how to make the bottom 1/2 triangles in order to keep the center stitch running in the same direction. if i do them like to top ones wont the center stitches be running in the opposite direction? Has anyone thought of this?
Well, it's taken three years to knit what was supposed to be a baby blanket but is now a nice afghan for my granddaughter. I'm just going to add a small seed stitch border around the whole thing. Thank you for the tutorial!
I am on my last row of triangles and looking fwd. to ending this year and a half project. It was awesome to make and is a great feeling to have made this accomplishment. My thanks to this series of videos by lady bug🐞🧶💛😊
Feel like I'm missing something stupid but I keep ending up with one fewer stitch on the right when starting a right-side row. I'm working a 33 stitch pattern, so picking up 33 stitches on the right-side. Knitting 32 on the wrong-side (last 2 knit together as instructed) so when I turn back to right-side there's one fewer stitch on the right than the left.
After watching the 1st video I found myself watching all 6 in one go, everything was explained so well! Any questions I had would always be answered further on in the videos. Thank you so much for inspiring me to knit something other than another bloody jumper! :)
I really wish you'd shown how to pick up the bottom triangle from the double tail cast on edge. It's not the same as picking up from the top stitches. I ended up with a row of stockinette stitch at the bottom of my base squares when I picked up no matter what I tried.
I love this blanket & would love to make it. I have a large range of assorted coloured wool & would like some tips on how to place these in my blanket. Most are solid colours & a few variagated ones.
Honestly, what I do is I plan out a chunk at a time, and make sure everything looks somewhat random but also there's not too much of one color in one place or something. I'll plan out about 10-15 squares at once, and then I'll knit them, and plan my next chunk. This way, I get the "random" look, but without the odd color combos of true randomness, and I don't have the mental overhead of having to know everything at the beginning. Another way would be to plan out the whole thing at once, maybe putting like colors in the same areas. The advantages of this would be that you can really create cool hue-shift effects, but the downsides are having to know everything at the beginning and not being able to add later scraps. Some people take randomness to the extreme, too, and out all their minis in a bag and just pull the next one and they have to knit with it no matter what. No matter how you decide to do it, though, it'll be lovely. I can't wait to see!
@@ladybuglaboratory One more question. Roughly, how many balls of the same colour would you use to block each square &/or fill the edge pieces. And if I don't fill in the edges, but put on a icord edge in the same colour? I'm planning on doing it 156 (12×13)squares big. Maybe bigger. I have made a similar blanket prior to this, but would like to do something more challenging.
@@carenkelly7615 You mean for the contrast color? (In my case, black). What I would do is weigh it! Figure out how many grams you use in each square, and divide that in half to get about the number of grams you would use for each of the side triangles. Then, you should be able to add up all the yardage you'd need and look at the yarn ball labels to see how many grams are in each ball. Does that make sense?
Oh! Hmm. In order to do that, you'd have to pick up half of the stitches and cast on half of the stitches and then knit like a regular square. Does that make sense?
Hello! I love this pattern, and I am so thankful you posted it free for us to follow 💚. I am making this blanket, but I am having trouble with this part. I feel there is an error in this video. When you finished your second row (the one with the first center double decrease) you should have ended with the same amount of stitches on both sides, but you didn't. It's like you lost a stitch on the second half of the second row. Therefore, you end up having the same amount of stitches on both sides before starting a right-side row, when it should happen before starting a wrong side row. Please, help!

Hiii I need to learn something here can you tell me why at the beginning of a row you slip as if too purl when you take yarn behind and proceed to Knit stitch ... I don't know if I'm complicating things but usually if I have to slip at beginning of pattern I will slip purl wise if I'm purling and knit wise if I'm knitting can you do it either way is there a specific reason Is it too complex to answer can you do both I heard or read somewhere that the reason for slip at beginning is to neaten the work ?... Can you provide me with a video link on these subjects / questions ??... It's interesting to learn and obviously useful and a purpose I'm currently knitting a shawl for my daughter at moment all in one peice and it requires slip at start of every row I will be crocheting a boarder into it tho but I'm keen to learn the reasoning for the slip In all ways and when it's best to use iv seen some tutorials where they say I leave out the slip stitch as it makes my work messy those kind of comments be glad if you can enlighten your beginner viewers also I love your work the blanket with black edging is very nice peice 👌 happy knitting
So the short version is that slipping at the edge of every row gives the edges a straighter, cleaner, feel, and it makes them slightly shorter than the middle, and therefore the middle is squishier. The direction you hold the yarn before/after the slip and how you slip determines how the stitch lies along the edge, which can change of it looks, or what it's like to pick up in different ways/directions when you come back later. Hope that helps!
Another ? when my blanket is completed with all the mitered squares and I want to put a black border around the outside to match the inside squares how do I do that?
Good question! That's a video I'm planning to do at some point, but not for at least several months. In the mean time, try looking up garter edging, applied garter, or applied icord.
Good question! What I did was put the two pyramids next to each other and knit a joining square (video 2, I think) between then, and then know body squares (video 4?) up from that, just making a bigger pyramid! When I was ready to make it no wider, I added the side squares, and then worked up from there.
Hi, thanks for your tutorials, started to knit a blanket for my Granddaughter. Really enjoying myself and your tutorials are so easy to follow (up until now I was very untalented concerning knitting!) Anywy, I've got my blanket finished and would like to finish it off with a boarder all the way round. However, no tutorial to be found...can you help me?
Kristl, I'm so glad to hear you like it! I should have a 7th tutorial out. You could try an "applied icord" border - there should be plenty of tutorials around. Is that the type you're looking for?

OMG!! You are awesome! I am a fairly new knitter and am in total AWE with this blanket!! Your instructions are so clear and make it look really easy since I do know how to do all of those stiches!! Any idea when the written pattern will be available? I would gladly purchase it! Also, what kind of yarn are you using for this blanket? That is my biggest down fall as a beginner as I do not know which yarns to use!!
You can use any yarn for this. I use leftover sock yarn, but the idea is to use up little odds and ands, so pick whatever works for you. :) I believe in you! You can do it! The written version should be available within a few weeks. :D
you are using auto focus so it will try to focus on your hands vs what you are talking about. Want to avoid that, turn to manual focus, focus on your garment and you can move your hands and not have it go crazy to keep in focus. good luck

Hermosos , me gustaría hacer un poncho con esos lindos cuadros saludos ,pero no me qué el menguado en vertical,
Can you please show us how to do the corners of this blanket?

I’m in the same boat. Somehow I have a corner I cannot square off no matter what I try.

Hi, did you ever do a final one showing how you put the blanket together and did the border? I would love to see how you do the border.
Gracias saludos muy hermoso.
I don't want to square of my blanket. I like the edges to have a zig zag finish & knit a icord around it. So how do I fill in the side squares?
Oh! Hmm. In order to do that, you'd have to pick up half of the stitches and cast on half of the stitches and then knit like a regular square. Does that make sense?

I saw in one of your videos you did separate pyramids (6 blocks) to connect together later. Questions how did you do that? Hand sew?

Obrigada! ❤
I am making a blanket following your directions. However, my blanket is turning out square without having to do any 1/2 squares
Ah! That must be because you joined them straight instead of at an angle. Either one works! :)
Great work.. I love your channel sooooo much!👼💖🌷💚💙💐💖
Thanks! I'm glad to hear it!

how do you edge the blanket?would love a tutorial on that
would love an episode 7
pas besoin de connaitre l anglais vidéos très bien expliquées. merci beaucoup. existe t il un livre et ou le trouver ?

Hi Lily, would it be possible to knit the top/bottom triangles without having a ridge? more like the side triangles look. i am simply curious.
Absolutely! All you would do is knit the entire wrong-side-row (instead of purling in the middle) and that would give you a garter effect.
