Crochet Granny Round Blanket CAL Part 1 of 7

[@NancyMbWpg]

Hi .. I just wanted to get back to you to tell you how wonderful my toilet seat lid cover came out using this pattern. My elongated seat lid had measured roughly 16 1/2 inches long by 16 inches wide ; I had trouble finding a cover to fit . I followed your pattern using one single colour through to Round 14 and then added 2 more rows of shells ( RD #7). and then used a 35 inch thin elastic and single crocheted it in the back of last row. I love it !! Thanks so much for this !! all the best to you from Canada !

[@MrsBauckman]

Done with week 1! I'm loving these colors, even though my pink and red are not exactly the same. Still fantastic! Claire, this is a BRILLIANT project. Thank you so much for this CAL!

[@raquelvelez8991]

you are an incredible, patient, clear teacher. thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent. God bless your hands. I will do the rug with cotton yarn using double yarn. Thank you soon much, it will be a gift for my grandson's room.

[@sistasue81]

Omg! I ABSOLUTLY love it. If you are making this into a rug and want it non slip use a product called super grip. It's awesome to put on slippers and rug backing so it doesn't slide all over your floor.

[@happymeihls1484]

Thank you for getting back with me Clare. I listened to the tutorial again and found my mistake. I was only crocheting my increases in the big gaps. I must have paused the video before you said to increase in the "chain ones" too. I will use my "mistake" to make a beanie hat by frogging back to round 5. Practice makes progress lol. I hope this comment might help someone else with their crochet "bowl" rug. Hahaha < laughs at self> because there is no crying in crochet ; )

[@rowdeo8968]

I appreciate your tutorial. I wasted time following other granny circles. You are a good educator! I’m scrapping mine. Odds &ends! I gave up on fb because lol make a 2one w nicer yarn! Thank you!

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@greenck4]

LOVE this CAL!!! Have been dying to do a round granny and completely thrilled that you chose to do it!! Finished one, working on another, have plans for another AND thinking about what colors I have in my stash to make one as my work Christmas gift. THANK YOU Clare!! YOU ROCK!!!!

[@carolynbaesler1888]

Thank you for all the steps to this. I love this. And with your lessons I can make this toooooo.

[@CrochetwithClare]

To make the blanket bigger So your last increase round is ....round 36 and its is - shell into the next 5 spaces inc into the next You could try following the increases and go back to round 11 and - shell into the next 6 shells, increase into the next ..... Then follow the instruction from there....havnt tried it myself but I gave this advice to another lady and she managed to get it to 70 rounds :)

[@TinTinParksakaWestergaard]

Wow love it

[@Icydragon28]

Hello! I brought a Tunisian (Afghan) Hook to do the Tunisian stitching if I wanted to make a blanket how would you go about the length and width using the hook?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Lovely RainbowAngel Hi, I am sorry but I do not do tunisian crochet so I am not really sure what length you would need. You could check youtube for tunisian videos

[@bonnieperez9852]

[@natashakyprianou4350]

I'm up to the last row before the border. The last 3 rows was a repeat of row 7. I'd really love to make it much bigger. Can you help please Bobbi??? 😮

[@pochy252000]

[@Crafter1111-o8h]

[@hategreed1]

Thanks Bob, you're a superb teacher. It's very enjoyable to watch/listen to you.

[@ellabarnes7986]

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@kathymcconnell8912]

I love this! The rainbow rug is awesome! I can't wait to crochet this. Until then I will just do it in my head.

[@melodymaben5917]

[@kathymcconnell8912]

Oops blanket.

[@treleaj]

[@paulettebrammer4183]

[@tamarahamilton1935]

TY This looks so pretty. I have Redheart SS monet varigated yarn, multi color. I think I''l start with it then add then may add in the individual colors in this blend.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Sounds very pretty !

[@dragonfly6996]

Beautiful, so glad I found your channel 💜💜💜

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Dina Conley thank you so much ! Happy crochet ❤

[@susanssoulshines9847]

Granny clusters are chasing me in my sleep, lol, I just made a poncho with them using one of your videos even tho I added some different stitches, in; before that I made two granny cluster toilet lid covers; before that did your 17 square layout for an awesome handbag.... I might take a break for change and come back to this later, but I love this and need a rug, but need to buy an odd color of yarn that I don't have yet for my bedroom. I'm still following to watch for now :)

[@Suparna08]

What a helpful tutorial... Thanks a ton

[@denisel8353]

This is a really great video to watch bobwilson123 I like this new C.A.L series you're doing. I just want to get my yarn and crochet hook out now and start working on the piece!

[@freshlydippedhairsalonllc8977]

Love it! Love it!!! I will be making my rainbow rug soon. Thank you.

[@terrytinydancer1052]

I love this pattern and you are explaining it so well 🥰😊👍🏽👏🏽

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thanks so much 😊

[@marmike2001]

it is too pretty to have people step on!! Beautiful rug!! :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes ! I use mine as a blanket :)

[@tlbrnkmn]

I've been looking for something round to make a table topper. Tried myself but could not get the increases to look right. Thank you for your generous teachings!

[@jenniferc4870]

I'm thrilled with the rainbow colors for the tutorial. They make it so easy to keep up with what round we are on, and if I mess up and have to backtrack, finding the right place in the video is easy! My rug isn't colorful like that. I'm using burgundy now and closer to the outside I will add some tan and some black. Thank you so much for ALL your tutorials. I've only been crocheting a few months and you've been a wonderful teacher!

[@CrochetwithClare]

You are very welcme ! thank you for your great feedback I agree with the easy to know where you are up to, wish did this with my test blanket (the purple one) I made in just one colour...omg that was a night mare LOL

[@candacecron5824]

Lol.... I love your I comment “I like to massage it flat” , “congrats you’ve made a bowl” and “eeeeee” ......lol. Laughing

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hehehe :) Glad you can get a giggle

[@carmenjreguero3850]

Hello. I am very exited with the making of this project. Thank you for sharing.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Carmen, thank you for your wonderful feedback

[@colleenmisner454]

Love watching your videos and your accent

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Colleen Misner thank you so much for your wonderful feedback

[@garyabbott980]

Beautiful pattern and you explain it perfect! I ran to store and got the colors I was missing but some where really ruff on my hands esp purple my favorite color.

[@garyabbott980]

Saw video said acrylic yarn needed to be washed.

[@CrochetwithClare]

yes some can be a bit rough. they will soften up once washed. i have a friend that actually sometimes works with nitrile or latex gloves when she has to use scratchy acrylic. she says the yarn doesn't catch bad and she can use the scratchy yarns until washed.

[@balreask1]

Yes I found it thank you Claire. Love your blanket.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you! 😊

[@dyanna217]

Using Aunt Lydia's Heavy rug yarn earthy tones (have had in my stash for decades) 1st part done waiting on next instructions...Feeling like a goo goo cluster !!!

[@MsMatador7]

Week - 1 - WIP completed...I am using an I (5.5mm) hook and I chose 5 colors for my Round Granny...Those colors are: 1. Bernat-Nautical/Ahoy, Creme de la Creme in 2. Aqua Jade, 3. Aqua, 4. Bright Orange and 5. White..The white will be for my edging...

[@arelyfernandez462]

Me siento fantástica al aprender esta técnica gracias por compartir saludos desde México

[@jandydent]

I made a modified version of this! I love how it worked out. The material I used ended up being significantly thicker than what you used. So I had to leave off several rounds, as mine had grown as large as I needed. I also slightly modified the second edging pattern you provided, as I wanted a dark edging to finish of my project.Your tips on blocking were so awesome, I've never made anything like this, so I learned a lot from you about this round pattern as well as blocking. Thanks so much! How can I send you or post a photo of my finished project?

[@suealby5233]

I love it thank you so much for your tutorial I’m surely gonna make this I love it because you go step by step I’m a little slow on crocheting I would like to know if you have a tutorial on a star Afghan step by step till the end I seen all the others but they only go so far and then you have to finish it I need one with all the steps till the end like this one please do a tutorial for the star and thank you I just saved all the steps on this round one I’m gonna crocheting this one I think this is so pretty

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day sue alby thank you so much !I have one star blanket and here is the link www.bobwilson123.org/8-point-star-blanket.html Happy crochet ❤

[@gayatridash7464]

i like this work so beautifu for house decorate

[@lindasawyer7104]

my wool was bunching up so I switched to a 6.5 mm hook and still bunching up will this smooth out when it`s on the blocking mat?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, what yarn are you using and what round are you up too ?

[@fraggyDendron]

That was fun! Now the horror of waiting a week... *swoon... What ever shall I do??? Maybe start another one with different yarn...? hmmm... (Thank you so much, I'm having a blast!)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello fraggyDendron I have many others start another one :) You can always make them different sizes/colours :) Thank you for watching

[@villinovillino]

ciao can you make rettangula carpet, for bed room?

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

In finer yarn it's destined to become a cherished newborn baby girls gift over and again.

[@nancyc.8572]

Hi .. I would love to make a toilet lid cover using this granny style . I will experiment with this pattern and just finish the edges and add elastic to see if it might work ! thanks so much !

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Nancy C. Yes that sounds like a great idea !

[@canuck33]

Thanks. Now I'll Google what a meter is. (I'm in Los Angeles).😃

[@maggwhlz]

,how would it look if you didn't have any chain one and you just crochet in the tops of the stitches?

[@katiegrav]

I love this round crochet rug. I think I will do it with chunky yarn as I want it a little heavier. Does the girl who worked it with chunky yarn run into any other tips or problems? Thanks.

[@MariaMartinez-em3hn]

Las alfombra hecha con hilo de tejer son muy bonitas decorativa.

[@rowdeo8968]

Great pattern thank you!

[@CrochetwithClare]

You are very welcome

[@virginiaclough5128]

totally love this project-----I'm going to try it with crochet cotton and size 2 hook---doily ! :D ...could a person use 2 strands (different colors ) of yarn with a larger hook to give it a different look ?

[@CrochetwithClare]

+Virginia Clough yes you could double it up to use a larger hook. it may not make it look very different but it will give it a different size. if you do mix the colors they will look variegated throughout the entire project

[@oliviaschubert8581]

the introduction was a bit loner than i wanted it to be but the rest was great and very helpful

[@lesliebush285]

Wow you are fast😍 and good

[@keechero47]

Love your tutorial videos...thank you!

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you fro watching my videos

[@tonihovatter7764]

Just love the colors....would love to do this in shades of blue #bestcolorever :) Going to make this with scrap yarn perhaps...have so much. And will add dots of hot glue (i have a low temp one!) so it doesn't go skidding..I am a little clutsy...took a good tumble on my bicycle on friday :( Thx again sweetie for inspiration!!! Hope the move is going well! Best luck!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yikes, hope you are better form your tumble and yes blue would look awesome !

[@happymeihls1484]

I started with a 5mm hook. I feel like my tension is sloppy loose...but my last 2 rounds still want to curl upward. I even changed to a 5.5 mm after round 7 then used a 6.5mm on 9-10.....using #4 worsted weight yarn. Please tell....what should the diameter of the project be after this tutorial? TIA...

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, my rug is 12 inches across after 10 rounds, this is after blocking and blocking does make it grow a little :)

[@peggycollier229]

Love this. Is there a way to add yarn or ribbon so you can lay a baby on it with toys and then pick it up by the yarn or ribbon to gather up the toys only when not in use. I guess gather and go kind of thing. Hope I am not making this too confusing.

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi, yes i am sure you could do that. You would just need to weave it in and out of one of the last rounds or close to the last rounds. I wouldn't make whatever you use to gather it with too thin or it could potentially be a choking hazard for babies.

[@jerifurrey7274]

i just grabbed any old colors to do this the first time. i will probably buy specific colors for my next one. hmmm....don't see how to attach a pic

[@CrochetwithClare]

Sounds like a great stash buster, there is no way to attach a photo :(

[@MRenaeL]

What are the finished dimensions of this blanket? Or rug? I mean it looks good sized. Is it three or four feet across is it larger I'm not planning in any of the seven videos the full measurement when it's completed. I don't need the diameter I just need how much it is a across

[@CrochetwithClare]

i can't be sure off the top of my head but i know it was between 3 and 4 feet. you are able to make it as large as you like though

[@debbittybears]

You know I LOVE these colors~! Is this supposed to be a rug like for the floor or a blanket?

[@CrochetwithClare]

debbittybears you can use it for both :) Well not the same item, would want to put my blanket on the floor and use it as a rug ;)

[@ayseyurdanurozaydn9721]

Hesitate de cok guzel olmus elinize saglik 👌 ♥️

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you for watching

[@joycehiew5491]

So beautiful!

[@MsKJ2007]

I just completed round 8....well I must have done round 7 incorrectly because at the end of round 8 I have 4 shells and not enough do to the final increase and shell 2. When I slip stitch I will have a total of 6 shells. Please advise.I would sure hate to do this round over. Kellie

[@CrochetwithClare]

Round 7 or round 6 could be wrong I would check both rounds to see i they are ok I have not had this problem from anyone else and that makes me think that it is something you have done

[@dreasmom2789]

I also use bobby pins.

[@roxbookas]

Beautiful!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you! 😊

[@jayneprice6670]

Please can you tell me when you say red heart provided the yarn do they provide it free I want to start a group up and wonder if they would provide some free for me please let me know

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Jayne, they provide the yarn at no cost, however I need to make tutorial and promote their product for them on a regular basis

[@loristambulich8990]

I love this pattern I Making two circles and wanting to connect them do you or anyone have a suggestion please

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Lori, you can join in a few different ways, you can single crochet them together, sew them together or join as you go

[@momof4rugratz]

Can you tell me all the colors you used in rainbow one. My daughter wants me to try to make this please.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Virginia Yes here are the colours I used in the Red Heart Super Saver yarn Bight yellow Pumpkin (orange) Red - pretty sure it was hot red Shocking Pink Purple i can not remember and i can not find any labels Turqua (blue) Spring green

[@smurfmama2020]

So if it’s curling up I need to use a larger crochet hook or looser stitches? Thank you ☺️

[@CrochetwithClare]

depending on how far you are in the blanket and how much it is curling up you may just need to crochet a bit looser. A slight curl with most likely just block out. if it it curling a lot then either your stitches are too tight or your hook is too small. it could also be the size of your yarn and the size of your hook as well together

[@relynree]

I know this has nothing to do with the pattern, but your nails are lovely.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you so much :)

[@hategreed1]

Agreed. Teach, you have beautiful hands, as well as a very soothing voice and excellent teaching skills.

[@bernadettekhan3569]

Can I use a (uk) double knit weight yarn for this? Thanks

[@lindasawyer7104]

where do you purchase the blocking mats

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, I got these in a hardware store, but I have seen them in toy stores as floor mats

[@timothymarshall-nichols7823]

if i wanted to make this blanket bigger would i have to repeat the whole pattern

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Timothy Marshall-Nichols thank you for your comment, I am so sorry that it took me so long to reply. This time of the year is crazy busy. T answer your question, yes you can make the blanket bigger Your last increase round is ....round 36 and it is - shell into the next 5 spaces inc into the next. Follow the increases and go back to round 11 and - shell into the next 6 shells, increase into the next ..... Then follow the instruction from there....this is what others have tried and had great success with it. Good luck and happy crochet! You can share all of your Crochet with Clare projects here.

[@Lioness235]

If I wanted to make it bigger how would I go about It? Have been asked by a family member to make one for an adult

[@CrochetwithClare]

this is an adult-sized blanket but there are some notes on how to make it larger on the written pattern, www.crochetwithclare.com/round-granny-rugblanket.html

[@chitraboby3479]

Thank you so much for your detail reply. your tutorials are very good and nobody can't miss any stitch. I got this idea of mandala from the Ahilu arts, all about crochet. if you can do the samething, it will highly helpful. regards.. Chitra Boby

[@balreask1]

Clare in what video do you show how to do the picked edge at the end of your blanket.?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Off the top of my head, it is either the 6th or 7th part of the video

[@CrochetwithClare]

So sorry it was video 5! Glad you found it

[@angie.manhua7883]

Its such a beautiful rug. I am crocheting it. But do you have any rules for increasing, if i get more rounds, how can i increase? Thank you!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

To make the blanket bigger So your last increase round is ....round 36 and its is - shell into the next 5 spaces inc into the next You could try following the increases and go back to round 11 and - shell into the next 6 shells, increase into the next ..... Then follow the instruction from there....haven't tried it myself but I gave this advice to many people and have had great feedback. One lady managed to get it to 70 rounds :)

[@jennifertaylor40]

I love this pattern! I would like to use this pattern to make a blanket for an adult. Can the pattern be expanded upon to make it bigger?

[@CrochetwithClare]

JENNIFER Taylor To make the blanket bigger So your last increase round is ....round 36 and its is - shell into the next 5 spaces inc into the next You could try following the increases and go back to round 11 and - shell into the next 6 shells, increase into the next .....

i am sorry. all subtitles are sone by youtube and not myself or my team.

[@rustydip1]

Basically a (round) granny style pattern. But I'm confused about the terms you are using. When you do the 3dc, you call that a shell. Most other shell patterns I've ever done the [3dc, ch1, 3dc] is considered a shell. I'm not sure what the 3dc alone is called. Maybe a half shell? Maybe this is just an American term difference. I don't know. Since I've been crocheting for over 40 years I know what you mean & the terms used don't really matter. I was just curious about it. I might be wrong... As usual, I am enjoying your video!! You are very talented, fun & clear. Happy that you decided to do a CAL with us! I know you will make it fun!! Thank you Clare...!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello rustydip1 I have only known a shell as a 3dc or 4dc or 5 dc etc....I guess we have both learnt something new today :)

[@rustydip1]

bobwilson123 Actually, thinking about it more last night, I think you are right... I was used to 4 or 5 dc to make a shell because the tops curve over, like a "shell". Now I'm not sure what the 3dc, ch1, 3dc is called. LOL! I guess with granny "squares" it's considered a 'corner shell'. Oh well, I've been wrong before; I remember that 1 day... ha ha ha! Just kidding. Still very happy with your videos & your work! Keep them coming! And as always, thank you so much for all the time & work you put into them! I love that you don't always take out the bloopers too! Thanks!

[@CrochetwithClare]

rustydip1 Yes I think you are correct there with the curving over .....hahahhaha I remember that one day omg that made me LOL

[@wierdcobra1]

+rustydip1 3dc, ch1, 3dc is called an "increase". Just as an FYI

[@patsyhenderson1242]

Are you saying you can start back at row 11 and work back to row 36 to make it larger?

[@CrochetwithClare]

you can find instructions and faqs for making it larger here: www.bobwilson123.org/home/welcome-to-my-1st-cal-crochet-a-long

[@lizs8711]

Without changing color, could I just stay with one color and continue in the round?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes, you can make this in one colour :)

[@SaraSara-xr9hr]

Liz S frespo4t

[@Wistfu1Stargazer]

You could use a self-striping or variegated yarn, rather than cutting to change colors.

[@ياصاحبالزمان-ب1ع]

يعني تتزايد الدائر ه العاديه

[@cheryljoynson7053]

I'm thinking of using 2 DC strands together with 5.5 mm hook. Do you think this would work. Wish we could easily get red heart in the UK. X

[@jenniferahough4983]

I used just one strand DK and it looks good although will probably be used as an afghan instead of a rug. I think 2 strand DK is about the same as chunky. I'm with you regards Red Heart problem, coloured acrylic aran yarn is impossible to find in UK. Only brown, beige & boring colours available :((

[@cheryljoynson7053]

Thanks Jennifer x

[@CrochetwithClare]

I think Jennifer is correct about the chunky, but if you use the 2 strands of DK I would go with a 6mm hook (that's just me personally with my tension) remember the rules for this blanket/rug, if it curls to much with the shell in each space round, pull it out and go to the next increase round :) IF it starts to ruffle, add a round of shell in each space :)

[@janicezaw7665]

Can u do a single crochet all the way around or do u have to double crochet all the way around
