CHUNKY Crochet Blanket for Beginners QUICK and EASY Pattern

[@sherritarainey3567]

Took 9 days to finish a blanket using your pattern and I'm in love. Thanks for such an easy tutorial.

[@cynaminginger8182]

I’m a newbie and used this as my first project. Love my new blanket and about to start another. Thank you!

[@midwestmama1808]

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!

[@teenmomAT14toRN]

Bingo

[@gloriakueker2641]

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!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

That’s great! It’s the best when you already have the yarn you need 😊

[@moniquemartakis4541]

All you have to do is slow the video speed down

[@sarahbruns2137]

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!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Aww I love that! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed the pattern so many times!! ❤️❤️

[@ms_terri]

What are the dimensions of the blanket you that used 3 skeins for?

[@spazwolfmutt6250]

than you so very much for this video. i work 12 hours a day in a guard shack and it really helps pass the time!

[@IdahoTricia]

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. 🐈‍⬛

This is honestly THE EASIEST video I’ve seen and the smartest. Subscribed!!! THANK YOU

[@lindatreend254]

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. 💕

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Yes absolutely! I’m so glad you found that technique helpful 😊 I would love to see your blanket when you’re finished!

[@andreamatthews4103]

How did it work out? I only have a 12mm hook as well

[@adrienne7374]

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

[@lisabethm-h6k]

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!

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!!❤

[@Amy-lw4dm]

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🤞

[@teenmomAT14toRN]

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. 😊🤗

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.

[@candiedisilvio9596]

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.

[@janmissourian2867]

I'm making this blanket and happy with pattern and ease. Thank you!

I love the half double crochet stitch! What are the multiples to determine the width?

[@kaycee6036]

I would like to know as well. The multiple method gets me confused.

[@antoinette-mays]

Fortunately you don’t need to do multiples for this stitch. You can just chain the width of the blanket.

[@betsysears3027]

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 ❤️

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!

[@stockinettestitch]

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?

[@heidimcglothlin8424]

I just love this pattern, but if I wanted to make a little bit bigger one then this what would the chain multiple be.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

No chain multiple, just chain until you reach your desired width 😊

[@LadyFaith-sm8ix]

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

That blanket yarn turned out nice. I don’t have any nor have I ever worked with it.

[@cheshiremercury7061]

This is gorgeous! I’m having an issue keeping my sides even. Grr!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

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

[@nightcorequeen4934]

Omg I was doing this so wrong thanks so much

[@AndreaGonzalez-ss4wx]

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?

[@SigoniMacaroni]

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

[@adrienne7374]

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

[@helenbarker2061]

What about using 15.75 with 2 cakes

[@margaretdeadmon1548]

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?

[@elizabethvogt3665]

Can you make it bigger? What would be a good size for a 6ft tall person lap blanket?

[@summerrayne42]

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 ☺!

[@2WheelinT]

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!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Starting chain will be the width of your blanket. 36” is the width for this one

[@niemand1314]

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.

[@alexamacintyre]

Do the two chains at the beginning of each row count as part of the 52 chains?

[@janetcurran8188]

Can you tell me how many chains and yarn yardage for a 60x84 afghan for a full size bed with drape?

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)

[@nataliecaygill2708]

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.

[@sabrina11422]

Question do you skip to the third each time? Or just that one?

[@Sharebearbears]

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.

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

[@MeleaC]

@@SigoniMacaroni Thank You 😊

[@oi.0234]

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 ?

[@SigoniMacaroni]

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

Do you just tie it like regular if you run out of yarn and want to connect another roll

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Yes you can do that or you can try this method kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYq8aaaLe71rZ6c

[@margaretdeadmon1548]

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?

[@Kathy-G]

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.
