WOW! Working between the posts is *so* much faster and easier when you’re using a bulky, fuzzy yarn! I’m using Bernat Blanket Yarn for this project and I love how it looks. Thank you!
Love that you took my request to heart about not showing too much of the faster speed of crocheting! I know for me it made watching this video SO much more enjoyable!!!! Thank you! And I have 2 skeins of a similar yarn that’ll make the larger sized blanket. Thanks again!
I love this tutorial so much! I've made 3 blankets using this pattern and they are incredibly easy and work up so fast! I even made one with 3 whole cakes of this yarn..it's massive but so cozy to cuddle on the couch with all 3 of my kids at one time lol Thank you for this video!
love this! this is the one of the easiest patterns i've learned so far and so quick moving. very easy to follow along video. thank you sigoni macaroni!
Hi Sigoni! You''re so right about it being easier to crochet in the spaces with yarn like this. I'm using Bernard Blanket with a 12mm hook. I'm making a larger blanket starting with 72 chains. Thanks for this easy to follow video. 💕
Thank you for this. I am a self taught crocheted, and although I know most stitches, I didn't learn them by name so thus helps me with that. And I could make my own pattern however I'm never sure on chain art. So thanks again
I’m making a blanket for my mom and I think she’ll love it! I’m using a much thicker yarn then expected 😂 but I think it’ll work, especially with working between posts! 🥰❤️❤️❤️
You are an awesome teacher! I watched some of your 14 free master craft videos too and started this blanket as my first project. I used what yarn was available locally so ended up with Bernat Blanket Extra and I am using a “Q” hook. So far so good🤞
I just subscribed as I needed to work up something fast for my BIL in the hospital. I am using Bernet Blanket Yarn. Thank you so much for this pattern!!❤
This is my go to video. Thank you so much babygirl. I look forward to going back to this because I always forget after taking a long break. This video is everything. 😊🤗
I am so glad that I found this pattern! I am using Bernat Baby yarn. How much should I make for a baby? I love this pattern and I love everything that you do and I was love you lots. You do so many wonderful things:):)
I'm just getting started learning to crochet and this video helped me make a decent lap blanket! I'll be making a larger one next with this same technique. SO easy to follow as a beginner. Thank you for the video!
TFS! I’m working with the same yarn, color, and with following your instructions, this made the blanket a lot of fun to make. The next time I’ll do 100 chains to make the blanket a little larger.
I’ve made a few blankets but so far this is the easiest and the prettiest! This works up so quickly! I’m on my second blanket with Bernat Blanket Tweeds and so far, it gorgeous!
First and foremost, thank you so very much for all of your videos. They’ve been a huge help to me THANK YOU! This is the first time I’m attempting to crochet since I was 6 and now I’m well past 50! Idk if bulky, fluffy yarn was a smart choice for my first project, but that’s all I had on hand since I’m disabled and I can’t get out often. You mentioned that you had a video to show how to crochet a single stitch border that could possibly be used to help with wonky edges, but I didn’t see it posted in your video description. If I missed it I’m sorry.
Thanks for the idea! I have two of these huge cakes for my 10-year-old grandson’s blanket and I wasn’t quite sure how to work it up. If I want to make it 42 inches wide though how many would I chain initially? 72?
Love this so much! I have already made one, but it came out uneven, because I am new and did not count. This time I am using stitch markers, but wondering where to place? I want to put one on each end. Thanks!
Can one of you lovely people tell me, how many shein I would need if i would like to make a queen size blanket. This blanket is so gorgeous. Thanks for sharing
Is this only for thick puffy yarn? I’m a beginner beginner. Thank you for making a short tutorial for it is hard for me to focus for long with brain injury.
Aw no! The last stitch should be placed in between the ch 2 and last hdc of the row. You can try marking that spot with a stitch marker to see if that helps
Hi! With this pattern, is it any even number of chains? I would like mine to be a bit on the larger size. And your little boy is so adorable with those curls ☺!
I wanna thank you so much for your video tutorials. I also want to let you know that on your Etsy page, the link for this tutorial is actually linked to the shawl.
Oh if you mean the listing I linked to on Etsy, that's actual for the entire bundle for all patterns included in the 12 Days of Crochet Christmas. The shawl is just the cover photo 😊
Hi Andrea! Good question. I used an 11mm because it gives the blanket more drape. You can use a 9mm but it will make your stitches tighter creating a stiffer fabric. It will also turn out smaller than the one I designed with the 11mm
Is the 52 chain the 36” part or the 46” part? I want to make one that is 60” wide and 80” long, so I’m not sure if I should make the first chain my width or my height? First timer here!
If I want to use 2 skeins to make it a larger size, how long should the initial chain be and how big would the finished blanket be? I know you said these details are in the "premium PDF" but I really don't care about all the other patterns in the bundle. I'm thinking i'm gonna have to just take a guess.
Curious beginner here. So 52 rows doesn't seem long enough or wide enough for a good blanket size, do I just trust the process because it does get wider? In the beginning it looks long and wide so I'm just curious.
hello, i love this pattern, the half double is my favorite stitch 🤗is there a reason that you have 52 stitches in your starting chain, like if i want to make the blanket wider do i need a certain number of stitches or no ?
No you can absolutely customize it yourself. Just chain until you reach your desired width. I used 52 because I wanted it to be wide enough to wear it covered my lap (and then some) but also long enough to reach past my toes without running out of yarn. If you decide to make yours wider and longer, just know that you will need more yarn than what I used
Can you do this blanket with multi colours and change them up, as my nana has only even me one colour balls of wool not like what you have shown in video? Need help.
Do u put ur first half double in the very first space? And also, I noticed at end of row, you chain 2, but does that include the chain to close your half double stitch? (Half double, close, then chain 2 or are you closing the stitch with 1 of those 2 stitches?
To start the half double crochets you insert hook into the 3rd chain from hook (not counting loop on hook). At end of row... work the last double crochet then chain 2 and turn. Begin working the half double crochets in the next space. The 2 chain will count as a stitch unless pattern says other wise. Hope this helps.
Hello there. Very impressive blanket. I am 5 feet 7 inches. What size needle, how many stitches, what r the size of my blanket. Thanks for sharing. Sorry don't know what a pdf is.
Took 9 days to finish a blanket using your pattern and I'm in love. Thanks for such an easy tutorial.
I’m a newbie and used this as my first project. Love my new blanket and about to start another. Thank you!

That’s great! It’s the best when you already have the yarn you need 😊
All you have to do is slow the video speed down
Thanks for the simple explanation! I think I can handle this. I like the colors on your blanket. It reminds me of a calico kitty. 🐈⬛

Love this. How many chain stitches to increase size to 50 by 60?
To make a 50x60 blanket you would need to chain 72 and make 69 rows.
@@rpgjunkie8095how about a 60 x 80 blanket, how many rows and chains?

Thank you so much for your sweet words Rhonda. I'm so happy that you feel that way because that's exactly why I create these patterns and videos! ❤️
Thank you thank you it's awesome
I love the half double crochet stitch! What are the multiples to determine the width?
I would like to know as well. The multiple method gets me confused.
Fortunately you don’t need to do multiples for this stitch. You can just chain the width of the blanket.
I love it. Beginner here and I mess up so many projects lol. I will try this.
That blanket yarn turned out nice. I don’t have any nor have I ever worked with it.
Im new to crocheting and i was confused about how to do it but now i get how to do it
I love this! So quick and easy. I've been wanting to try this yarn, so now I have a lovely blanket to make with it! Thank you!
Love this..thanks for the quickie
You’re so welcome!
Love this series
Thank you and I hope you and yours are having a wonderful holiday season
Thanks so much Betsy! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season as well ❤️

Is this only for thick puffy yarn? I’m a beginner beginner. Thank you for making a short tutorial for it is hard for me to focus for long with brain injury.
This is gorgeous! I’m having an issue keeping my sides even. Grr!
Aw no! The last stitch should be placed in between the ch 2 and last hdc of the row. You can try marking that spot with a stitch marker to see if that helps
@@SigoniMacaroni Thanks ever sooo much!
Anything for you!
@@SigoniMacaroni Aww 🥰 I need to email you. I’ve been slacking cuz I’ve been sick again. My kid’s might get their blankets in January.
I just love this pattern, but if I wanted to make a little bit bigger one then this what would the chain multiple be.
No chain multiple, just chain until you reach your desired width 😊
Can you use a medium #4 with this stitch? I have already made this with this actual yarn but love the stitch, curious if you have to use bulky yarn?
Hi! With this pattern, is it any even number of chains? I would like mine to be a bit on the larger size. And your little boy is so adorable with those curls ☺!

Can u do a video on how to make a herringbone half double crochet throw blanket????please
Hi! Quick question, the cakes label says to use a 9 mm hook. Why did you use an 11 mm? And is there a difference if I just use a 9?
Hi Andrea! Good question. I used an 11mm because it gives the blanket more drape. You can use a 9mm but it will make your stitches tighter creating a stiffer fabric. It will also turn out smaller than the one I designed with the 11mm
I only have a 9mm as well and it definitely is making it stiffer, started last night, thinking of purchasing an 11 for this project
What about using 15.75 with 2 cakes
Is the 52 chain the 36” part or the 46” part? I want to make one that is 60” wide and 80” long, so I’m not sure if I should make the first chain my width or my height? First timer here!
Starting chain will be the width of your blanket. 36” is the width for this one
Can you make it bigger? What would be a good size for a 6ft tall person lap blanket?
If I want to use 2 skeins to make it a larger size, how long should the initial chain be and how big would the finished blanket be? I know you said these details are in the "premium PDF" but I really don't care about all the other patterns in the bundle. I'm thinking i'm gonna have to just take a guess.
Hi! What happens if I run out of yarn and need to start a new skein? How do I attach? 😳 (I’m a major beginner)
I’m going to use 4 cakes. How many chains should I make and when should I start decreasing??
How many yarns I will need if I make a queen size blanket
I haven't finished the blanket but my yarn has run out. How do I crochet a new yarn in with the blanket?
Question do you skip to the third each time? Or just that one?
Curious beginner here. So 52 rows doesn't seem long enough or wide enough for a good blanket size, do I just trust the process because it does get wider? In the beginning it looks long and wide so I'm just curious.
Just got the yarn at Joann’s door buster 19.99
Hey, can you use Bernat’s baby blanket poly 300G/10.5 OZ yarn for this pattern? Thanks 😊
Oh absolutely! Both yarns are very similar 😊 however you will need to purchase more yarn. I used about 540 yards for this one

@@SigoniMacaroni How many yarns did you used for your blanket?
@@kaycee6036 Just one with this big skein
What should be the size for baby blanket for a new born or 1 year old please
How many skeins of yarn did you use? How many what I use if I wanted to make a bigger blanket let’s say.
To double the size would I simply use two cakes and double the number of chains? Do you have another suggestion?
Can you tell me how many chains and yarn yardage for a 60x84 afghan for a full size bed with drape?
Do the two chains at the beginning of each row count as part of the 52 chains?
What is the best or popular stitch for a chunky blanket, single, double, or half double? Also, which stitch save or use less yarn?
Could you please show going in between the last two posts in the 2nd row?
Can you do this blanket with multi colours and change them up, as my nana has only even me one colour balls of wool not like what you have shown in video? Need help.
This is my first blanket and I absolutely could not keep up lol I have rewound and rewound and rewound and I still am clueless. Going elsewhere
Do you just tie it like regular if you run out of yarn and want to connect another roll
Yes you can do that or you can try this method ua-cam.com/video/7YY8sUFX81E/v-deo.html
Is there another type of yarn that can be used?
How did you weave in the ends of that bulky yarn? It seems to thick for a darning needle.
Do u put ur first half double in the very first space? And also, I noticed at end of row, you chain 2, but does that include the chain to close your half double stitch? (Half double, close, then chain 2 or are you closing the stitch with 1 of those 2 stitches?

Does this use the full skein. I only have 440 yards of yarn
I’m almost finish with my blanket but my blanket is bent up . I’m not sure how to get it stretched out . Did I do something wrong while stitching ?
Can you tell me where I can find this pattern? Thx
So you only used 1 skein for this blanket? What yardage did you use?
Where did you get your yarn?
How many chain stitches to increase size to 90 x 100?
Can I make82 chains for this blanket ?
could I do this same pattern just with a 25 mm hook?
If I want a bigger blanket do I add more chains in the beginning and more rows.
Yes exactly!
@@SigoniMacaroni thank you
HOw do you get the premium pdf? I'd like to make a bigger blanket but not sure how many to initially chain?
