Thank you for sharing. I understood the pattern very easily but got confused as to why you tied it off before you even added the second color then when you did add the second color, I didn’t really see or understand how it was done. You didn’t tie the colors together which is how I have done it but somehow just started crocheting with the color. Maybe a better closeup of the color transition would help. Again, thank you for helping us beginners. I’ve recently realized, I prefer crocheting over knitting. I thought it was the other way around but decreasing in knitting to me is a nightmare and I dislike perling so crocheting is what I’m going to put my focus on now. It seems a lot easier. I’ve been learning a lot of new patterns on KZbin and having success on my projects unlike knitting. 😎
@DIYOnTheHouse4 жыл бұрын
Sorry about that! Still practicing how to do the camera angles! To start a new color, you make a slip knot on your hook, insert it in the same place you tied off the last color, and start again. I totally agree, I LOVE crocheting and tolerate knitting. Thanks for the advice -- I am always learning!

I am excited that you want to make the blanket! I don’t have one started right now to measure - but doing it as a mathematical problem, 21″ wide equals 4.75 chains per inch. That would mean that you would need to chain 168 + 1 to get it to be roughly 36″ wide. If you don’t mind, I would love to know how close that calculation is! Have fun!

How many do you chain to make a full size afgan?
@DIYOnTheHouse4 жыл бұрын
I would chain as wide as you want, then go back and count your chains. It needs to be a multiple of 3 + 1. Let me know if you have more questions!

Very nice stitch. Suggestion- relocate camera at an angle vs directly above as it makes watching video wavey and hard to watch.

Thank you so much for this video. Can you tell me how to add the half shell stitch to the straight bottom base row.
@DIYOnTheHouse4 жыл бұрын
Certainly! Attach your thread on your first chain at the beginning of your blanket. Do the pattern across in the hole that is created by the half-shell on the first row. If that isn't helpful, email me at diyonthehouse@gmail.com and I can send you pictures.
