Crochet Fan Blanket. EASY Crochet for absolute beginners. (This is STUNNING)

I am so glad I found the Lovecrafts website for yarn and other crochet and knitting products. They always have a sale on some yarn up to 75% off. The Red Heart soft baby steps yarn on this video is only £1.99 per 100g ball. Just amazing as this is super soft baby yarn. They have many other brands too. Cheaper than I have seen them elsewhere. www.lovecrafts.com?a_aid=2aeb6671 *Some links may be affiliate links which will allow me to make a small commission on any products purchased through my recommendation.

I could not do this pattern either. My shells became stack shells not alternate. I was so frustrated I ripped it out and have done another shell version were they are stacked. I think it's the conversion issue.

Try and go through 2 strands and the v sitich goes into the valley part between the fans. Just shove your yarn through the top of the double.

Hi Alison from Philadelphia again! You're videos are not only methodical and clear....but so calm and distressing! I am supposed to be grocery shopping for my family, but instead took time out to follow your lovely stitching! I don't know if you get this brand in your area, but I had some Lion Brand Comfy Cotton Blend laying around and used that for my practice swatch and it came out beautiful! Comfy Cotton Blend is machine washable and dryable and even though it tends to split somewhat....it works up great for baby items! Have a wonderful day and thank you for your post!

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

(when you say Alison from Philadelphia is your name Alison or Kathy?) yes, we can get Lion brand cotton. I have some cotton had it for 3 years I'v never known what to make with it. I got it in a charity shop in a big bag. I got light denim blue 8 balls of i. some milk cotton in cream and a white and some darker blaue. any ideas would be welcome.

Hey Alison, I was reading the post you said you have lots it Lion denim and white color yarn. Denim is such a popular clothing item. Maybe a cool casual poncho (a longer one) or shopping bags or long strap purses. Or cowls. To compliment apparel. Just a thought.

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

I just hold it so im comfortable, everyone finds their own way. Just pick yours up dont think about how you hold it and just work. Don't try to copy how others hold it because it might not be comfortable for you. If you stop thinking about how to hold it and just go for it that might help a lot. I jst say no one sees you much when your at home crocheting so hold it the way you want and is comfortable.

Melissa, I have athritis so can't always do a full size, I can't say how many balls because I wouldnt know what size of blanket the person is making. With this stich 4 x100g balls would make a good size param/stroller blanket. The small ones I make are cuddle or comfort blankets.

Beautiful as always. I have a favour to ask if you don’t mind. I know you research old crochet patterns but I am looking for the 1950’s Knitted Pixie hat pattern for ladies and wondered if you might know where I could find it.I did find it on the website “Etsy UK” but they wouldn’t let me download it even after I’d paid for it. Forever grateful if you can help.It’s for my granddaughter’s Xmas play.

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

Google FREE vintage knitting pixi hat, also here is a site with free hats you need to look for the pixi type your looking for but there are many vintage and FREE sites. Old vintage patterns shouldnt be sold as they become free to download but not to sell. So etsy sellers selling photocopies of very old vintage patterns shouldn't be doing it, you coan sell origional patterns if you have a proper old printed one but you cant copy them and sell them on. look here for the free downloads of hats www.woollywormhead.com/free-patterns

[@maryummawji9038]

[@heatherburnell1313]

I wonder if you can help with my confusion over how many rows do get to do the half fan of 5 trebles? I am thinking it’s a 2 row repeat as suggested but when doing 2 row repeat the half fan only showed in the first set of green rows, I did not do a half fan again in the rest of tutorial , it’s me I know but can’t see where I’m going wrong .

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

you need the half fan to stagger the green if I remember correctly its every 3rd row the beginning fan is 4 stitches and so is the end one of that row. If you watch the video again. I am intrigued to ask if yours worked out without the half fan to make them stagger in and out? or did it build one fan right on top of each other? or did you just end up with a gap at the begining of the row that staggers in (on mine its the green)

[@sheilastein681]

I can't seem to get the edges right. I love the blanket and would like to make it. One in here and one in there isn't enough information.😕

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

Sheila, if you get your hook and yarn ready then turn on the video and pause it as you work you will get the hang of it. Try that, sometimes working along helps a lot.

[@nuttycrocheter2010]

I never end on a double crochet, what am I going wrong?

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

You must have 1 stitch less, no matter if you are on your 1st row working on the chain. Use the tail end to make 1 more stitch then finish on your double. I do it all the time, sometimes a stitch gets lost under the big fan as it pulls tight on the stitches next to it as you do your 8 stitches to make the fan. if its not right at the begining tell me where you are when out.

[@donnar9102]

Does anybody know how much grams of yarn would be needed to make this for a baby blanket? Just curious, before I get started. I don’t want to run out of yarn half way through. 😅 Thanks in advance.

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

if you are going to do 2 colours the 200g of each will make a decent size of about 15 shells wide, (make a long chain do your shells then stop when you are happy with the width ( snip off the remaning chan about 6 inches away from the blanket if you have a long chain left, then pick out the remainder to the edge of your work)If you dont have enough use the tail end to make more chains) thats what I do at home so I don't have to stitch count.
