🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on KZbin yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthev... 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.hookedbyro... 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.hookedbyro...

Granny AND Puff stitch!! My two favourite things!!!!!!! Brilliant, Robin!!!!!😍☺😚🤗❤❤❤❤❤

I think they're absolutely fab. Now, I have to go shopping! Love the way you teach, too.

[@zara6673]

These look so lovely! I honestly could not wrap my head around the magic ring until I watched your tutorial. You deconstruct the anatomy of these techniques so well, making them make sense. I really appreciate how much work you put into making sure everyone can understand.

[@HookedbyRobin]

This is such a wonderful comment, thank you Zara! 🥰🤗

[@eviedun]

Nice one Robin. I know what I'm doing this afternoon. Thank you for sharing with us. As always, excellent video 👍👏👏😘

I just wanted to, Thank you, for the way , that you show , somebody how to make stuff, This is the second granny square, that I've made with you, showing how to make it. I have dyslexia, and I learned better, if someone shows me, then I can do it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hi Charlotte, I’m a visual learner so I totally get that!🤗 I’m glad you managed the granny square.x

[@kristinakorpi6979]

Hello! I just started learning to crochet three weeks ago at age 54!! I learned the magic circle from one of your tutorial videos and I LOVE THE MAGIC CIRCLE!! I am going to crochet this next!! I thought at one point during the first part the video was on double speed!! No, that was just you crocheting faster than anyone in the UNIVERSE!!! ( Now crochet yourself a GOLD MEDAL - YOU EARNED IT 🤗 )

[@amandawhite6953]

Your tutorials are the best I have found. So clearly explained. Thank you.

[@suev3339]

The beauty of this stitch is doing it in variegated yarn. 🧶 Absolutely gorgeous Robin! I’ve never done puff stitches but this may be where I attempt it. Thanks for your creativity.

[@HookedbyRobin]

It definitely lends itself to variegated yarn, hope you give it a go Sue! 😃🧶

[@nw7408]

I love your tutorials. Very easy to follow w/o going too fast or slow. All the books in the world do not compare to watching it "live."

I really love this alternative to the granny stitch. I mean, I love granny squares, but this is a lovely option. I’ll have to experiment to see how I can combine both styles into one blanket. I think they would contrast with each other well. Thank you!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Love that idea and they definitely would go well together! 😍😃

[@HookedbyRobin]

I'm still working on my vintage hexies too! I'm not sure I'll ever actually finish them 😂🧶

[@melodied4314]

2022 had lots of videos for granny square vests and sweaters. Since I don't have lots of remnants, I passed up those patterns. Using the self stripping yarn and starting the center with a different color would somewhat solve that problem. The puff stitch gives a whole new look to the granny square and I love it. Excellent instructional video. I'll be subscribing

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Melodie, lovely to have you here! 😃🥰
