I think its important to say that u have to keep the loops on the beginning pretty loose, as a beginner i did not know that:D

[@heidigresham8012]

I usually do the beginning chain 1 hook size larger than the rest because I’m a tight crocheter

[@HaleyTesch]

I second this! Don’t have a crochet hook bigger than 12mm so had to really focus on making those stitches looser and keep them even!

Dani, I’m sitting here watching this video over and over and taking notes. My daughter and I are beginners and will be making this throw. I love jewel tones, so that’s my color choice. Taking notes helps me with video instructions. Haven’t started but will post when finished.

Thanks Dani! This works up just as Quickly as you say and the Bernat blanket yarn makes for such a Lux blanket . I have a special tip for you! I end up with a small amount of yarn after each blanket. I have worked those into a blanket for MYSELF! This gives me a special memory of the loved ones I have made blankets for in the past.

[@bramsrockhopper3377]

It’s because she made a mistake with the audio - she said to yarn over for all three parts of the stitch, but actually you just pull through the second part of it. You only yarn over before putting the hook through the next stitch and before pulling through the last two loops, not in the part where you should just pull through one of the loops. In that part of the audio she said to yarn over at all three stages… Hope it helps

[@ASkylerRAlex]

I have to say THANK YOU!!!! I am using your technique to make my first item ever. It’s a blanket for my sister. It’s coming out really nicely so far! For my first try you made me feel like a pro. I’m still getting comfortable so I’m moving slow but my stitches look really nice! ♥️

[@2KITTIES-CLRR]

The method of joining yarn you've used here seems quite easy to do. I've been crocheting for over 45 years, and, saw it being done many years ago. Had forgotten about it until seeing this video, and, am so glad to have gotten the reminder of it here. TYSM for sharing this video with us. Love your channel bunches !!! 😉❣️🥰😻

[@heather4455]

Made this blanket today, I did adjust the size though because I wanted a larger blanket. I’ve gone through 4 skeins, I’ll need about two more to finish. I’m already in love with this blanket 🥹

[@mckennawiseman954]

How do you go about adjusting the size? Just increasing the initial start length?

[@vanillavinepottery]

This is a beautiful soft & cozy blanket. Thank you for the tutorial and the pattern. It is an easy pattern to follow and is much appreciated. That said, I'm not as fast as the creator of this blanket but I'm fairly fast once I get in my zone. She obviously is able to crochet this blanket in 6 hours. That didn't happen for me. I'm using 3 different colors #6 bulky yarn with a size 10 mm hook. It has taken me approximately 6-7 hours to get 1 foot of blanket crocheted. That means I have 4 more feet to go for a total of 60 inches and another 24 hours of crocheting. That's a total of 30 hours for the entire blanket. I'll need a border around my blanket as well because I tied the yarns together at the end of two rows/rounds per color and will need to hide the knots. This is a more realistic time frame for a novice or intermediate- beginner crocheter. Still, it can be done in a weekend and that's awesome! Happy Holidays to you all. I hope if you make this blanket as a gift your recipient enjoys it for years to come.

[@flaviafrohlich562]

I would like to start this pattern and am about to order! How do you close the blanket in the end? How do you make a border to not see knots? I am confused haha

I sincerely enjoy your channel the most for crochet instruction and I LOVE that you don't repeat the same thing for every-single-stitch. Unfortunately though I have used this join method on many projects and the knot doesn't hold. If the knot gets enough movement it comes undone for me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but it's a very simple knot lol

I made this blanket once, and on my second one. The first one the 68 chain seemed to short so I added 10 stitches which I didn't think would be a big deal... I ended up adding 2 more skeins and now it covers my full/queen size bed. I am now on my second one, the 68 chains still seems too short (I know it is an afghan but I like mine a little bit bigger) so I added 4 chains, I just finished up one skein and it seems like 4 wont be enough
