🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on UA-cam yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

Love it! How do you end the last row? (Fill in the spaces)
Ah! Good question!!! I can't believe I didn't add that into the video 🤦♀️
For the final row, instead of doing double crochets either side of the spike, do *SINGLE crochet, double crochet spike stitch, SINGLE crochet*
So sorry to have left that off! I will pin this comment for others to see 🙂
Thank you so much for asking that! And thank you, Robin, for answering 💚
Literally cannot believe I didn't film that. 🤦♀️
Hooked by Robin I don’t get it? 😕 I’ll try it once I start a practice piece. Love the pattern though.
@@dianeky617 I can do a really quick video to show you if that helps? X
Robin, you are the best person to learn from ❤. I have been learning from you for a couple of years. God bless you for helping all of us crocheters!❤🌺🌼🌹🥰🧡
Awh, thank you so much - that is lovely to read!🥰
Excellent tutorial! Great explanation and You went slowly enough to follow along. I can't wait to try this stitch. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I never knew about this stitch, it's lovely. I love your tutorials you make them so clear and easy to understand 😊
Thank you so much Vanessa!🥰🌸
This works up really well using Lion brand Mandala or other similar yarn. It makes a lovely baby blanket.
Your videos are always so clear-love this stitch. Thank you!
Love this stitch pattern! Gorgeous color choices, too. Thanks for sharing your process!🌸
I love the larger hook & yarn-
much more visible.
A game changer!
Thank you!
💖🌸🌼🌺🌹🌻💐☺🌷
Robin - this is a fabulous looking version of the granny stitch! Thank you so much for sharing!
Love the texture & combination of stitches. So simple.
Thank you Robin what a lovely stitch and so bright and cheerful ( you and your blanket ) just what we need right now 😊Amanda xx💕💖
Loved the tutorial! First time learning about the spike stitch, this will be my new project 👍🏽
I love the colors of your 2 blankets. I will have to do this for my scarfs and maybe try it in a hat.
You make these stitches very clear and doable! Thank you!
Thank you for explaining the stitch in simple terms. Looking forward to getting started.
I really love this stitch. I have not used it before but it will look great on a blanket. Beautiful colors too
Absolutely love this pattern and right up my alley. I also love your reference to the naughty corner. I’ve got a couple of those for projects that were a little advanced for me and taking me FOREVER to get through a row. Thank you for giving a FREE tutorial especially now at the time we’re all stuck inside.💕☮️✝️
I love the way the stitch comes out. So easy
Fantastic ❤ I love that pattern in yellow and white . You are really professional in choosing colours 👍
A very simple pattern and I really like the stitch. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm going to give it a whirl. Thumbs up for a nice video.
New stitch! Working it in the round . Thank you for the wonderful easy to understand tutorial 😊
This is a first for me. I think it's AWESOME stitch to do. Thank you for sharing.
Creative Grandma has a "Granny Twist" that's just like this. Seen and tried it a few months ago. Love your channel, a good source when I get stuck with what to do next. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your pattern. I love that your yarn color choice and your background color is great-very easy to see what you're doing. And I love that it is closed up. Keep it up. Thanks again. I shall use your patter as soon as I finish my WIP project.
So easy and a pretty variation on the granny stitch. Your explanations are super easy to follow. Thank you so much. I'm making a throw pillow cover now.
This is new to me. I've always loved the old stand by granny square by never heard of the spike. But I do love patterns where a color dips into another like a spike, or the Larksfoot etc. I'm terrible at reading patterns. I'm more of a visual learner. Thank goodness for wonderful people like you on UA-cam!! 💗
I'm a fan too - anything that looks interesting colour wise / stitch wise but has nice straight rows - far less brain power required than for a chevron 😂
I am terrible at reading patterns as well. But Robin makes her videos so clearly and easy. I always come to Robin to learn any new stitches. ❤❤
This is a new stitch to me and I think it will become a favorite. Thank you
This is a simple, beautiful pattern. I love this.
First time doing this stitch. Love it, thanks for great instruction.
I love the yellow, grey and white and will copy it. Thanks for a wonderful tutorial
You are brilliant! AND, a marvelous instructor. I love your accent! Good job!
This is a new stitch for me. You are very easy to learn from and my go to for tutorials. Anytime that I want to learn a new stitch, I immediately look for a tutorial by you. Thank you for your time and being such a pleasure to learn from.
I am new to this Granny Spike Stitch. I am making it for my sister and just love how it works up! Thanks for your tutorial!!
This is a beautiful stitch that I will be using to make a blanket with my scrap yarn. I love a scrap blanket.
Thank you so much for this tutorial it's very clear and easy to understand. I'm visually impaired so don't find it easy to read patterns so really appreciate your tutorials and learn new stitches with your help :)
I love the gray, white and good blanket. It was beautiful colors
I love your instructions" I love learning new stitches. I was looking for an interesting stitch for my next multi color blanket. Thank you

What current crochet project are you on Liesel ?
You're always the best teacher, making the impossible quite possible!
Thank you so much Carol, that’s so kind!🥰x
Your choice of colors and yarn for you “naughties” (I think that’s what you called them) is beautiful. I’ve used this stitch for a couple of projects a while back but not lately.
This is such a pretty stitch, I love to have yarn amount needed for afghan.
Love this stitch, ty for teaching it. Im using it for a purse and its awesome!!!

Excellent tutorial; thank you. I love the steel, mustard and white blanket- it should definitely come out of the naughty bin. 😊
One day! 🤣
Yes, I love it too and using my sample in a cotton for a small wash cloth. Its doable for a beginner like me.
I love this twist on the granny stitch…I like the fact that there are not a lot of holes in it, and the fact that it looks like waves when you change colors…thanks for such a beautiful way to do the variation of the granny square stitch…I am going to make a lap blanket for my best friend now….I know she will love it like I do!
Thanks
I love your channel, you are such a good teacher!!! I'm so glad I found your channel I've been crocheting for about 2 years but I really haven't learned alot of stitches, so thank you and please keep the tutorials coming!!!
What skill was the biggest challenge for you ?
i love this pattern and how your voice is so clear and easy to understand. thank you
Awh! Thank you Patricia.🥰
Totally loving "Hooked by Robin"!
Lost it earlier and tried many other tutorials - could NOT get organised - ended up with 16 fingers and a horrible mess.
Thank you going slowly and exact directions. x
This stitch is new to me. And yes I love it. I plan on making a scarf with this stitch. Thanks for your page.
You're welcome Yvonne! A scarf in this stitch will look lovely.😃
This is an new stitch for me. I love it. Great to make for a male afghan. Your videos are excellent. I am not a beginner. Keep up the good work.
I made a beautiful blanket for my grandson in a variegated yarn. Thank you Robin!
Thank you! Your tutorial was so easy to follow and understand!! I look forward to you teaching me other stitches!! I really liked this spike stitch--was fun making!
You’re welcome Beth!😃🧶
Love this stitch. I love the effect the rows create. I’ve been a knitter for 40 years. Psoriatic arthritis has started to make knitting very difficult and it seriously has depressed me. I’ve always been kind of intimidated by crochet but I’m staring at my yarn stash and dying to give it a go. So thank you for these tutorials. 💕
Just starting this tomorrow for a graduation blanket! Never done this stitch before! Can’t wait!
You are my favorite crochet mentor!
Its a lovely stitch..., i've worked with this stitch before using multiple colors, "chevron style" I really love your creative color mixes... Thanks for sharing.
Спасибо! Всё очень понятно, а главное, как вы сказали, подобрать цвета и по желанию, сколько душе угодно рядов. У вас золотые ручки, благодарю!
Fabulous video! So easy to do and easy to understand. Great to have a video without useless small talk wasting time. Thank you so much. 💜
You’re so welcome!😃🤗
I’m gonna make me a throw right now ..I have lots of yarn that can be used up and a very pretty pattern thank you 😊...u just got yourself a new subscriber 😊.
The yellow, white, dark blanket is lovely.
The gold, white, & dark blue/black is a nice color combination. Looks good. Other one I separated the blue green colors and make another blanket with them. Great job on both Nice stitching
Love this new stitch can't wait to get yarn and make a chair cover for computer area. Thank You.
I have not used this stitch before but will in the future. A nice blanket. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love it.😃
Have you ever made a blanket and how long did that take you ?
Thank you so much for your tutorial on The Granny Spike Stitch, I’m so excited about the throw I’m getting ready to begin! You are so right about colors they are so important! Choosing your tutorial was easy because I could clearly understand your instructions and see it! I am a deep East Texan and older, so I really enjoy your accent! Thanks again, Shirley
Oh and I like your finger nails too!!!
WOW....OMGOSH....SUPER EXCITING!!!!
If you couldn’t tell I’m really excited to try this stitch. I’m a new self-taught crocheter and I’m a new subscriber!
You explained this so well and it all made sense to me. I promised my daughter an afghan and this will be the stitch I use.I’m looking forward to watching your other videos.
Thank you so much 🥰
Love this different spike stitch. Making a lap blanket as I type.....Thank you for sharing.....
love it, so simple but very elegant. Going to make one in a variegated purple and variegated grey.
Ooooh I really really like this!!! Thank you so much. BTW... I LOVE your voice! It's just so pleasant to listen to. Definitely subscribing!!
"Everything is folding up and being quite angry" may be the best sentence related to yarncraft ever; it certainly made me chuckle. Thank you for another great video, I enjoy them almost as much as I enjoy putting the information to use!
That sentence could also be applied to me personally LOL!!! 🤣🤣🤣
That is a great phrase!! Made me laugh too 😜😂❤️🧶 Thank you for the fun learning experience Robin!!
I laughed at that expression too! Robin is a very entertaining communicator!💜
Yeah I tried and my yarn was screaming at me. Row 2 was definitely fiddly so what I did was make a single crochet foundation row to thicken up the chain, before working the first row. Seemed to "squish" a little less. I was able to pull up a bit looser having that thicker base row. I looooove this pattern!
So true! ☺
Was always WA dering how this interesting been made. I do like this spike stitch. Thank you for showing.
Love this stitch!! I have made 3 scarves with the double crochet V cluster that I learned from you and am going to start a blanket with the cluster. Thank you, love your videos, would love to see more.
The cluster V is one of my favourites 😍 So glad you have been using it! Xx
I’ve been looking for a stitch I haven’t done before for a winter blanket and I’m going to try this stitch thanks for the tutorial. 😊🇦🇺
It's a new stitch for me. I look forward to using sometime in the future. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely enjoyed the tutorial and I am working on a blanket as a result.
I love this stitch and have never tried it before, but I plan to very soon.
I really loved and enjoy doing crochet in my spare time. I will try this one.
I've made three scarves with red heart ombre yarn so far, and I absolutely LOVE how they look and feel in this pattern! Thank you so much for all the heard work you put into these videos, they are lovely and you have a great voice for teaching!
Las instrucciones no se ven claras porque aparece n unas oraciones explicando lo q dices,y no se ven bien los puntos,tienes q grabar sin poner esas orasiones,para q pidamos ver el tejido
Love this! The colours you've chosen too would make an amazing Harry Potter Slytherin scarf or blanket 😍😍
ChloeLou ....I was thinking the same thing about the Color combo of that one!!
Great instruction and great camera work! I’m definitely going to make a blanket. Your nails look really pretty!
I really love the stitch and it so beautiful you do some amazing work
Thank you so much Dawn, that’s so kind of you.🥰🧶
I seen this but never realized it was a version of the Granny Stitch! This is really nice thank you! Something to do well we're all social distancing!
The colors are gorgeous on both. Especially the gold white and gray
My biggest fear is how long it takes to finish a blanket . Have you ever started something you couldn't finish ?
I can’t wait to try this in my next handbag! Btw, that blanket you put in the naughty bin is beautiful! It reminds me of a landscape painting. 😘
They both look amazing loveeeeeee the colours
Thank you so much for this lesson and pattern. I started my blanket and I love the stitch. so quick and pretty
You’re welcome Linda, it’s a fantastic one for blankets.😃🧶
Ive always wanted to do this one. Can't wait to start and your instruction was done so well! Thank You
Thank you Christine and you will enjoy it! 😃🧶
I love the gold, white, and charcoal. Hobby lobby has a great mixed yarn in I love this yarn
