I'm making a mood blanket and was going to use the moss stitch since I need to do 365 rows. Realized I was probably going to get bored of doing plain rows so I'm so glad I found this.
@@soulavarsamakis4223 you’ll want to do a gauge swatch. There’s lots of tutorials on this, but pick your stitch, then chain up enough for five inches and write down the number of chains. After that, work your stitch as you would normally, counting the rows, until it measures five inches long and five inches wide. Divide the rows by 5 and you’ll get the average number of rows per inch. So if you have 25 rows it will be 5 rows per inch. Do the same thing for your chains. After that you can divide the number of needed rows by your average rows per inch. So 365 divided by 5 would be 72.That’s how many inches long your blanket would be. Then you have to decide how wide you would want it to be so it’s proportional. There are good recommendations for blanket dimensions, but let’s assume you want the blanket to be 60 inches wide. You want to take your average chains per inch, which we’ll say is 4 and multiply that by the number of inches wanted. So 4 times 60 would be 240 chains. Everyone’s stitch gauge is a little different depending on yarn, hooks used, and the tension they crochet with. I crochet really tight, but a lot of people crochet much looser. A gauge swatch is the best way to determine how big a project is going to be. A lot of people don’t do them and end up with a weirdly skinny blanket. Like I said though, there are a lot of great tutorials for how to do a swatch and I would be happy to answer any questions or give advice if you need it. I hope you enjoy making your temperature blanket! It’s a really rewarding project.
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. I contacted you to request a tutorial using the linen (moss) stitch in a ripple pattern. I couldn't figure out how to make it work. You answered all my questions and made it so easy to make. I really appreciate you sharing your expertise with us.
It’s a Monday🙏 Good Day, Glenda. Thank you for explaining the different yarns. I will be ordering “ice yarn.” This looks like an easy pattern. Adding this to projects for gifts. Appreciated & 🙏
Thank you so much! I had this pattern come on a sleeve of yarn. I started the project about 5 years ago, finished half way and ran out of yarn and never went back to it haha. Just bought the yarn to finish tonight and realized I lost the pattern! Thanks again, happily hookin' away now! 😊❤️
Boy is that stunning! I don’t usually use variegated or self-striving yarn with a complicated pattern. I guess the Ripple stitch is basic enough that it doesn’t detract from the beautiful color changes. Really nice. I will play around with this with some Red Heart Hello Gorgeous yarn I have. Thank you. I love the look of Ice Yarns, but their web page is sooo busy, and not organized (maybe it’s just me).It’s really hard to find what you want. I love Puzzle yarn. I’m dying to make a cardigan out of it!
Thank you once again for a great tutorial! Your demonstrations are so clear and easy to follow, and your designs are gorgeous! Can't wait to start this one! Thanks again, Glenda! 😍🌷❣💕🌼
This is so beautiful. I will definitely be using it. Is there any chance you can show us how to square it off? I really want to make a cushion out of this.
Love this pattern, I would to use this pattern for my temperature blanket 👍🏻 how many chains would I need do you think? 365 days is very long just don’t know how many chains I would need?
Hi Glenda thank you so much for explaining this on how to measure the length. A friend of mine wants me to make her a blanket from pound of love to fit a double bed. Question is how many inches do I make for hanging down the sides? This will be my biggest project and I'm still learning how to crochet. Many thanks for all your wonderful teaching.
I love this pattern , but I’m having trouble with one side edge of blanket . When I finish with 2sctog ch 1 and turn and it’s not a straight edge . Do you have a tutorial on keeping the edge straight ? ❤ thank you Glenda .
This is the second video of yours that I've seen using the Anti piling Premiere yarn in the colors pink, and grey, and the second time I've used the link to go to Premiere website, and I can't find that specific color. So, what gives??
Hi Glenda, I'm a new self taught leftie, wondering if there's any chance you could post left handed versions of your great tutorials? I'm such a visual learner, love when the mirrored version is posted by so many, makes it easy to follow for us lefties too! Thanks
I don't see the color yarn you are using in this sample on that link you gave. What is the name of the color you used. It's beautiful. Thank you for this video.
I am not sure which sample you are referring to out of the three so I am assuming it is the Magic Glitz color # 22058 purple/orchaid/salmon/yellow/green
i cant find the video where you made the baby blanket with Red Heart Stripes yarn i dont remember which stripe color it was i am trying to find the yarn can you help me please

Susankay because this is a ripple pattern using the “Moss” stitch which is made using single crochet and chain 1, single crochet in the ch1 space in subsequent row. To use a double or treble crochet would change the pattern and not result in a “moss stitch pattern “ look. In other words you would get a completely different pattern and thus completely different look.
Moss stitch is a sc pattern, using the other stitches would change it and not be moss stitch any longer. You can try to use the other stitches but it would not be a moss stitch
When I'm confused, I write out the pattern onto index cards in my own words. I'll break up the pattern into sections: row begin, uphill, peak, downhill, row end. Sometimes I'll draw it out, making a bunch of little ovals next to each other as the chain stitches, then point to what goes into each stitch, such as: chain over, sc, chain over, sc, etc.) Another trick- try it with a large hook and thick yarn so you can see what you're doing - which is the chain one space, and which is the sc. Once you figure it out, you can move to a smaller yarn size and smaller hook. Hth!
Since you do a sc2to at the begining and end of each row how do you not end up reducing your project down to nothing if your doing an afgan or blanket. Am I overthinking it? Novice here. Lol.
Unless I've misunderstood, I don't think you're really reducing a stitch. I think the first stitch is simply a sturdy end stitch so the blanket edges don't roll. You are making the first stitch of your uphill journey, lol. Instead of just putting a sc in that open chain window, you're putting in a sturdy stitch using the chain window and the first crochet. The rest of the time, you're skipping over the sc. Similar at the end.
I have never understood the multiple plus? number. The multiples yes, but usually the plus number is as a turning chain isn't that correct? So this one doesn't make me understand it all
Glenda I see on some other chanels they have been crocheting surgical masks or dust masks as some call them,,,,I know you are good at designing. do you think you could design one??? I think in the future we will all wear surgical masks all winter its silly but sad
Susan unfortunately I am not sure how safe a crocheted mask would be, my understanding a crochet mask can be more harmful then good. This is based on all the information I am hearing about the virus and what to use and not use.
The moss stitch is one of my favorites. Can’t wait to try this pattern.

Beautiful.
instead of a starting chain, could it be started by a row of foundation single crochet, and then the next row, worked as row 1?
Pretty stitch
could you make a double crochet moss stitch afghan using this pattern????

Hello Glenda why do you use sc stitch? can't we use double to triple crochet?

You can do ripples with a dc or hdc, but this is specifically the moss stitch.
