How to Crochet a Blanket Step-by-Step (for Complete Beginners!)

[@hunteryoung3586]

I followed your tutorial and made a blanket for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift. I’m glad I got the idea to do this in late November because it took me a month to finish. Almost 33 hours of work. Your tutorial was insanely helpful and very easy to follow. Everyone I’ve shown has loved the blanket and says it looks amazing. Thanking you for that

Just finished my blanket. I used 5 x 223yrds which is 1115 yrds total. I also used a 8mm hook. I am in love with my blanket! Instead of 74, I did 80 and it is the perfect length and height. QUICK TIP, I know she says go to the second chain hole, but doing that made the first row shorter, so I refused to skip the first and go to the second. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@WanderingWassoms]

I am a beginner and I just made this blanket. I love it! Only thing I wish I had done different is to have started with a chain of 125 instead of 75, which I feel makes this more like a baby blanket size. I added more rows for additional length as well. Thank you!!

I've been crocheting my first blanket for almost a week now. A little here and a little there. I haven't picked up a crochet hook since around 2014 or 2015 so it's been a minute! A good tip that I learned is to complete a swatch of the project you're looking into creating. That'll build your confidence and will give you a little "warm-up session' before you get started. The blanket I'm creating is completely single crochet so easy peasy! :) I learned right off the bat as well: COUNT YOUR STITCHES!!!!! I count my stitches as I am crocheting and it keeps me from having to go back. I can't wait to complete my first mixed-color blanket. :) Thanks for the video.

I followed this tutorial after falling in love with crochet after getting my first Woobles kit (and subsequently ordering 6 more and finishing them all in two weeks). This was a great starting point for any beginner and yields such a gorgeous end result. I made mine 100 stitches wide instead of 75, and ended up using about 1.5 skeins per color block. I would love to try this same pattern using neopolitian ice cream colors next!!! Its such a fun project to fly through while you're watching TV and sipping on a yummy drink!

You are a great teacher. I followed everything you taught and in 2 weeks I made a blanket!!!! Thank you.

[@jennymister]

This made it look so easy that I had to try it myself! I wasn’t ambitious enough to do the full blanket so I did a scarf to try it out. I finished it within that same day after about 3 hours of work. It’s so soft and nice and it was easy to do after I got a pace going. In the beginning it was having some difficulty since after the first row I was trying to get the hang of the new double stitch but I got it!

I started to crochet about 18 months ago but became discouraged with it. I have been knitting for a few years but see so many pretty crochet projects that made me want to learn. I recently decided I want to make a Christmas afghan to have ready for next year, lol! In looking for a pattern tutorial I discovered your channel. I was SO impressed with the way you teach and explain everything. But the best part is how you so clearly show the stitches!!! Thank you!!! That's just what I needed to clear up some confusion. I got so excited and just had to start on the beginner crochet scarf. I am making several for friends as gifts for next Christmas. They are turning out great! I have been watching lots of your other tutorials and found your website and signed up for the newsletter today. Thanks for what you do. You do it well!

[@elsiehahn1418]

This tutorial is great! I couldn’t find the yarn recommended so I’m using 8 different colors, a few different brands, same size (6), and 100% polyester yarn, and only changing the color when I run out. They didn’t have the hook size so I bought a 15.75mm and a 10mm. 10mm works great! Even 15mm seems gigantic. Starting it was extremely difficult as I couldn’t see my stitches and even with multiple tutorials I couldn’t find exactly where to insert my hook. I’ve evened out since. One skein made 19.5 rows for me. I’ll update when I finish! Update: Finished! Took me about 2 weeks. I used 5 full skeins and 8 rows of 3 different colors. It turned out great! Very heavy and thick, and long enough to cover my whole body. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@elsiehahn1418]

@@feiryifah I used 5 full skeins/bundles or size 6 yarn. Then, I used a little bit of 3 other skeins but I’m sure you could use just 6 different skeins to get the same size blanket.

[@nagelyortiz]

I bought a thick yarn and it wasn’t too flexible to be a blanket so now it is a rug for my room! 💖

[@betterthanwolves]

This was a really good video on getting started on a blanket. I would recommend using stitch markers on each end of the blanket which helped prevent me from missing stitches on each row. It's also a good idea to measure your chain when you start out because your initial count may not be the same as what is shown in the video (will be different depending on the yarn you are using). I had to restart a couple times and it seemed that 90 chains was better in the end for the type of yarn I was using.

[@alysongreen8663]

Did you tweak the pattern at all? One color calls for more yarn

@@alysongreen8663 I bough the exact same yarn as this pattern and followed the pattern 1 to 1, using the same size hook and everything. For me I bought 9 skeins of Oatmeal and 7 of Petrol Blue. I had 3 Oatmeal and 2 Petrol Blue left over after I was done. So I only needed 6 skeins of Oatmeal and 5 of Petrol Blue. I found that every stripe was just over one skein of yarn. I could see someone modifying the patter to have the stripes 11 rows high to make every stripe one skein. But I will say that when the yarn arrived some skeins looked bigger then others even though they were the same brand and color so maybe have a bit extra will be good if you are ordering the yarn online.

[@ireneedmonds4712]

My aunt taught me how to crochet when I was young, I might’ve been 11 or 12, now im a whopping 25 years old 😂 I can’t wait to see how this turns out ♥️ thank you for your tips and lessons!

[@awallacedoula]

How may skeins of yarn did it take for that project?

[@tabithahoward6621]

I've heard it can take about 10 or more but I wanna try to do this with just a clay or terracotta color. That would be pretty or a sage green.

[@adelinamansoor8493]

for a blanket, it's usually 7

[@jennymister]

On the site she recommends about 1700 yards to get the full blanket

[@b1oodyk1llz89]

Think you for the video I am a beginner at crocheting and I just made a nice blanket different colors for my little niece and nephew. You just earned yourself a new subscriber thank you so much.

[@suemiller4897]

Thank you so much! Love your instructions…! Has anyone used a different yarn? This one is really a yarn guzzler…thanks for any suggestions

[@BekahMarie11]

Use bernat blanket yarn!

[@mrs.doodlebug2659]

I'm still new to crocheting, I've made a bee and two small hearts before this. I have worked on this for about an hour and a half now and have 4 rows done. You explain it so well were in other videos I have watched I found myself confused. I'm doing this with an 8mm hook and it's still pretty easy.

[@gailsams758]

It would be nice to know how many skeins are needed to do the project

[@Sophiaruth_elliott]

Wow! Thank you so much for this it was so helpful especially the part where you said to count your stitches! I'm a begginer and when ever I try a crochet project that is strait it usually turns out uneven 😅 I will count my stitches

[@BunnyLover99]

How many skeins of yarn for each color (A and B) did you use for this project? And did you use #6 yarn, larger, or smaller? Thanks so much! I love this tutorial and will definitely use it as soon as I get the materials! I am a beginner and am so excited to begin my crocheting journey!

[@LucyEllis-hh8bz]

Did you end up making it ?? If you did please tell me how many skeins of yarn she use because I am completely lost

[@BunnyLover99]

@@LucyEllis-hh8bzHi! I did end uo making it, but used a different brand of yarn. I think I used 4 of each color, but it might be different for you depending on the size you make it! Hope this helps!

[@sarahjayne8243]

Thank you for this tutorial! :) You we’re so helpful! I’m an absolute newbie to crochetting and you made the whole process so easy! I made a blanket for my mom for Christmas which ended up being the perfect gift because she also just had a knee surgery and has spent a lot of time resting and recovering. She loves it so much and it felt good to give her something I made myself! It was my first ever crochet project after only practicing some different stitches. It took me quite awhile to finish but that was mainly because I didn’t have much time to work on it. Definitely helped me get the single crochet stitch down so I can crochet a lot faster now! Great video! Great beginner pattern! Great blanket! 🥰❤️

[@Chamanmonet]

Idk who needs to REHEAR THIS BUT PLEASE COUNT THE DANG LOOOPs😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@HowToBeAlone]

I have no crochet experience but I want someone special to have a nice hand-made blanket so here I am. Love makes you do silly things haha

[@FBI_VALGAR91]

I CANT MAKE A DAMN SLIP NOT

[@jtaysma]

🤣 It’s easier than the way she showed. Checkout some other videos about slip knots.

[@teeghananderson9000]

Wrap your yarn around two fingers and make an X with the yarn still attached to your skein. Pull the part still attached UNDER the yarn wrapped around your fingers

[@teeghananderson9000]

Then hold onto your tail (loose end) and pull until tight

[@sweett5896]

​@@teeghananderson9000this is what I do too. Check out Happy Berry crochet she has tgat slipknot technique in her beginner tutorials

[@FreeMare1042]

Sound like me with plants. I can’t grow one to save my life!!

[@pattysapp8688]

This is a lovely blanket and easy pattern….I’ve never crocheted before and I am really enjoying making this! You have such a soft soothing voice….you are easy to listen to….thank you for this pattern and video!

[@yvettelopez214]

2:50 I have been using the first bump, and I'm so far in that I don't want to redo it. Does it matter too much?

[@rosieposie7028]

No it shouldn’t matter along as you keep everything even!

[@martinebeard6848]

Bought my wool and hook this morning and just purchased the pattern! Cant wait to start this on my road trip. Love how easy and clear you make your tutorial. Thank you!

[@pegasigaming9322]

Hi, thank you for the tutorial! I'm looking to make this soon. :) How many "bunches" (sorry, don't know what they're called) of yarn did you use for this project in total??

[@syrena3762]

Hey there! I just started making my blanket based off of her tutorial, and I'm using the exact same yarn type she is, I bought 12 spools of yarn total. Each stripe uses a little more than one spool of yarn and this blanket has 9 stripes in total so if you're doing it in 2 colors like she is, you'll wanna get 4 of one color and 5 of the other color, and then one or two extra spools of yarn for each color, so like 11 to 13 spools of yarn total. Hopefully that makes sense lol

[@Sophiaruth_elliott]

@@syrena3762 thank you! So helpful

[@Sophiaruth_elliott]

@@syrena3762 I'm a complete beginner so this is also helpful

[@Sophiaruth_elliott]

@@syrena3762 and also what type of yarn is it? I don't know if I have the right yarn....

[@shelleywelch03]

I bough the exact same yarn as this pattern and followed the pattern 1 to 1, using the same size hook and everything. For me I bought 9 skeins of Oatmeal and 7 of Petrol Blue. I had 3 Oatmeal and 2 Petrol Blue left over after I was done. So I only needed 6 skeins of Oatmeal and 5 of Petrol Blue. I found that every stripe was just over one skein of yarn. I could see someone modifying the patter to have the stripes 11 rows high to make every stripe one skein. But I will say that when the yarn arrived some skeins looked bigger then others even though they were the same brand and color so maybe have a bit extra will be good if you are ordering the yarn online.

[@latrh6217]

I'm a beginning left-hand person who learned from youtube. I am proud of myself cant wait to finish.

[@Ali_Sky_Violin]

Man.. that turns out to be an expensive blanket 🥲

[@Sarah-gx7zy]

Buying yarn from Temu has saved me SO MUCH MONEY on any project. I personally recommend looking there. You can find most yarn types. They're not brand name, but just as good. I always look at the reviews first, as well, before buying.

[@leeanne8702]

This was the BEST crochet video I’ve seen yet. I just started, and I’m getting into the groove. Thank you, soooo much for sharing.❤️

[@nataliajuravliov4194]

Thank you for your sharing project, for your explanation and video. It’s really work. I have finished one blanket ( only in one color), but for 3-4 days - it my first work in so big sizes. Thank you and Happy New Year 🍀

[@SquidtheOct0]

This was my first ever crochet project. Safe to say the blanket is massive bc of the yarn i chose but i have just finished it! (And now someone else wants a blanket😂) thank you for this❤️

[@NasihaLuqman]

I love your tutorial so we'll explained. Can I just ask how many skeins of the wool ease I need to make it?

[@iselarodriguez6585]

I just wanna thank you so much! I am a slow learner and video after video I still was so confused & almost gave up.. until I came towards your video ❤.! I got the hang of it omg thank you 🥺❤️.!

[@deedolly6144]

I love this tutorial! How long is each ball of yarn and how many balls of each colour yarn will it take to create this exact pattern and blanket size? Many thanks!

I'm a beginner wanting to make a blanket so this is perfect. Thank you and you're a good teacher!

[@LucyEllis-hh8bz]

How many balls of yarn do you need in each colour ???

[@dynan-spired6377]

Hi! Thank you for sharing! May I ask...? The pattern tells us to use approximately 1700 yards. Each skein is 87 yards at $5.83 (approx) each. That calculates at a total of 19 (approx)skeins, correct? That's a total of $110.77. Whoa, I need bigger pockets. It's an awesome investment for those who can afford this. I think you're an awesome teacher and thank-you again for sharing your hard work and time! ❤

[@marylinsadventures1677]

Thank you. I love it and purchased most of the stuff… but now I am not sure if I ordered enough of the yarn. I ordered 6 of each color, please help. First project ever🤗
