🔥 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...

Robin, This is the first pattern my Grandmother taught me to crochet. She gave me a box of odd yarn. I was quite proud of my first Afghan. It was colorful and a bit wonky! Your color choices are beautiful. Thanks for the happy memory of my late Grandmother. She is the inspiration for my creative endeavors. Thanks for sharing.❤

[@d171982]

Dear Robin, your way of explaining actually gets processed in my brain! Thank you for making me understand this stitch to have the courage to try it again after many failures!

I AM a seasoned crocheter..but I have to say...I have never used this pattern and you are the ONLY one to explain this stitch where someone can understand it easily. Thanks for the new stitch and your excellent teaching skills!!❤

Thank you so much Linda, I am so glad it helped. 😀🧶

[@epena2805]

Excellent tutorial. Your camera angle & lighting show precisely where the hook should be placed. This stitch is really easier than it seems from just looking at a completed sample.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Oh definitely!😃 Thank you so much for your feedback too, that is so appreciated.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awwh, I am so glad my video helped you Sonia.🤗🥰

[@gloriacastro2541]

Your tutorials, directions for crocheting projects have been fantastic. I have been able to start the foundation chains, and have continued crocheting the project, e.g. Larksfoot Crochet Blanket without frustration or giving up. Your voice is soft, comforting, and you present as extremely patient. Your tutorial/video's have been the best, I have found. Great instructor, Robin. I will continue subscribing to your channel, and enjoy learning new crocheting skills.

[@shannonsullivan2109]

I have been looking for this stitch forever! I didn't know what it was called. My grandma made one for my mom over 30 years ago but she has passed away so I couldn't ask her. I'm so happy! Thank you so much! I love your channel and have learned so much from you. ❤

[@mindygrall2749]

Robin, I just started crocheting about 4 months ago and have used your tutorials to make 4 scarves, a blanket, and a shawl. Your way of explaining each stitch, and sharing all of your patterns is so appreciated. I’ve learned so much from you - I’m truly hooked! 16:16

[@remedy9648]

Easy to follow along with you and I’ve got to say I’ve seen this stitch before but I didn’t think I liked it because of the colors used to demonstrate it. I know I shouldn’t judge a stitch by it’s color but unfortunately I did (do) and yours looks so, so pretty! I’m excited to use it now! TY for sharing💜🙏💜

[@HookedbyRobin]

I know EXACTLY what you mean - the colours can instantly put you off something for sure! So glad this video didn't have the same effect LOL!

[@amandah4834]

Beautiful stitch and so well explained as always thank you Robin , colours are lovely reminds me of a parrot 🦜Amanda xx❤️

[@prophecyfields6204]

I love how this stich looks using one solid yarn for the first two rows and one variegated.yarn for the other two rows. For exame, I used Buff Chamois as a solid and Platoon as a variegated. I think it looks amazing. The yarns mentioned are from Red Heart Super Saver, which is the acrylic yarn that I use for making throws/afghans. It is affordable and beautiful.

[@dawnbowes6238]

Hello, I love watching your videos and I have learned so much by just rewinding repeatedly. Unfortunately, you make it look so easy & perfect and I want mine to look like yours. Perfect! I think I have trouble finding/counting the tops of the stitches to work into. You are a master of the craft. I’ll keep trying😂.

[@ArDeeMee]

When I startet crochet I used lots of stitch markers. It really helps to get used to how the top of a stitch looks on a return row! And especially identifying the top of the first stitch of a row, since those always get cramped/yanked sideways. Using stitch markers helped me so much that I don‘t use them at all by now, unless I pause working on something. Then I put a little slip of paper with the material and hook size on the marker (just push the marker through the paper) and secure the working yarn with it, before putting it in storage. Those 8 € for a box of 100 colorful stitch markers were a great investment!

[@pattallant2398]

I really enjoy your easy to understand videos. They are clear and precise and your pace is perfect for learning new stitches. I’m totally hooked! 😊👍

[@lieselgutierrez7439]

Robin, You keep coming up with so many fun and wonderful patterns. 💜👍🏼 So many patterns and not enough time in a day. 🤣 Thanks again for another wonderful pattern. 💜

Beautiful stitch going to have to give this a try one a . Thanks for sharing ur pattern . have a great day

[@Marialla.]

Since you taught me the joined double crochet stitch I'm doing this larksfoot with that variation, and it's working very nicely!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Perfect Marialla!😃😍

[@Marialla.]

@@HookedbyRobin I have an update: Having finished my sampler section of larksfoot with joined doubles, I'm left wondering why in row four of the design we create a space mirroring the spaces in row three. My guess is that it's to reduce bulk for the long spike stitch coming in the row above. But my problem was that I had trouble regulating the tension of that spike stitch. The hole wanted to collapse, even though I was drawing up what I thought was a roomy spike. If I do this pattern again I'll test to see whether more tension on the spike makes a pretty scalloped effect, or whether filling in the holes on row 4 with a continual row of the joined doubles gives better structure. Your sample was very beautiful! I'm not trying to diss your work. I'm just reporting how it went for me. Thank you again for sharing such beautiful stitches to try!

Hi Jackie. As this video was in 2020, unfortunately that link to the yarn does not work anymore as that shop has stopped selling it. But if you search on google for: Scheepjes Chunky Monkey then some options should come up for different websites you can buy it from. The colours in blanket shown in intro and thumbnail (in order of use)are: Cardinal Coral Deep Orange Ochre Mustard Eucalyptus Cornflower Blue Mauve Amethyst. I hope that helps. 🤗🧶

[@traceywilliams5985]

Hi Robin, thank you for a brilliant tutorial, always been a knitter and only recently found crochet, I found it very difficult at the beginning as I didn’t understand the patterns but watching tutorials seems to help, must be a visual learner, I just finished the Sirdar crochet along for the sweet blossom blanket as my first piece, it took a lot longer than the six weeks but I enjoyed it immensely. Don’t think I’ll be picking up my knitting needles for a while, so many new crochet stitches to learn and you make it look so easy, thank you😘
