🔥 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...

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Helen!🥰🤗

[@user-lh8ph3yo5f]

So grateful for this pattern! I have been trying many different patterns using boho spirit and nothing was working well. This one is working beautifully😊 You are a brilliant teacher - I have taught myself to crochet watching your videos and I’m obsessed. My late sister was a very good crocheter and I wish I could show her how I am progressing. Thank you for your excellent videos x

[@HookedbyRobin]

You are so very welcome, I am glad you are enjoying it.😃🧶

[@janetwalsh7961]

I followed you stich for stich on my trial ball that i keep for this purpose , that's a lot it looked beautifully. I will now make sevral for Christmas as this is very easy. At 81 and just recovering from hand surgery due to carpal tunnel syndrome. My physio therapist said I should be using the hand more. Many that for this easy pattern

[@HookedbyRobin]

Lovely idea Janet, I’m glad you like it!😃🎄

[@sandraanderson217]

Oh! Finally! One that makes sense to me… you wear a shawl for warmth… while all the other shawl patterns are very pretty… they are extremely holey… not sure how that will keep you warm! Thank you! Definitely starting one tonight and I have the perfect yarn for that too! ❤

[@debbiejones9990]

How simple and beautiful! You are my only crochet teacher and I'm spreading the word about you to all who show an interest in learning the craft.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Debbie!🥰

[@tonichrysostomou2559]

Well, here I am crocheting yet another one of your beautiful shawls. I am working this one up in "Feels like Butta" in the color way of Dusty Blue. This is going to be the softest and coziest of all of them. I think I have made about 10 of your granny and solid granny shawls. I love them all. I made one HUGE one with 3 large skeins and it is almost like a blanket. I can't wait for cooler weather to sit by the fire wrapped up in my shawls. Thank you so much, your granny shawl was the very first thing I learned to crochet and there is no stopping me now.

This has been added to my favorites. I already made one with a different yarn. Got the Caron Cloud Cakes & was looking for a pattern to use & decided to try this one. So far, so good. I'll try to remember to let you know how it turned out. Thanks.

Thank you so much Gail! 🤗🧶

[@tonichrysostomou2559]

Hi, Robin. I have probably made about 10 of your shawls, both open and closed granny. It's getting chilly here in Arkansas, in the states and I am making this up in Bernat Crushed Velvet in colorway Cranberry Cider. Love, Love, Love your tutorials. Stay warm and mind how you go. I almost forgot, I am adding tiny little bells with clear thread, so you can't see them but you can sure hear them, though they are ever so tiny.

[@HookedbyRobin]

ooooh a crushed velvet shawl sounds AMAZING 😍 and tiny little bells are an adorable touch! x

[@vickiegentry7124]

I made this shawl and love it, but the sport weight yarn made it a bit of a challenge to keep it on while wearing it, when the shawl was a bit shorter. So, for my second shawl I modified it a bit and I am thrilled with the results. What I did was to do a second increase at the start and end of each of the first ten rows, in the second and next to the last stitch of each of these rows. After ten rows, I only made the increase in the first and last stitches (as well as at the center back, of course). These additional few stitches made it so that the middle of the top of the shawl curves slightly in the area that falls at the neck, so it wraps more naturally around the neck and shoulders. For Christmas I am making shawls out of Red Heart Heat Saver yarn, which has a great deal of body to it, I would say it is almost stiff, really. But by modifying the neck, it wraps beautifully around the neck and shoulders in a more natural way, so the shawl fits better and stays in place without trying to fall down the wearer’s back. With softer yarns, it would not be needed, but with yarns that have more weight, it is a small change that makes a big difference. Hope this helps!

[@KishB65au]

I know this video is old now, but I just want to thank you for this simple pattern. Without people like you, people like me would never think of something so simple yet so pretty. And the link you have to the magic circle/loop is the only one that I have actually understood...so again thank you very much :)

Thank you again Robin for another excellent tutorial. I appreciate the link to the magic ring. You explained it very well and I was able to accomplish it with ease. I am working this up in a lovely gray tweedy type yarn. It is going to be so pretty and so snug. I followed your advice on previous tutorials and make all of my shawls huge. I can basically cover up in them whilst sitting and this shall be no exception.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Huge shawls are the way forward! 😃

[@sandygrogg1203]

Thank you! This will be perfect for the Prayer Shawl I am making for a friend. My yarn is a 3, so a solid fabric will make up for the thinness.. I want to make one with a heavier yarn... I see you are using a Clover H-8 hook. I love my Clover hooks. They are so comfortable in my hand. The best part is that each size has it’s very own color. Thus us a huge help for those of us who are visually impaired. A tip... Rsje a picture if your project, with the hook you are using right on top of it.. That way, you will never have to worry about forgetting what size you are using...

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I started working this as a "how to" for the technique and have loved it so much I've used 2 balls and have ordered 2 more to finish up a decent size snuggly shawl (Boho Spirit in Eden.) I will be using your tassel tutorial to finish the project.

[@nrrdgrrl4life365]

i'm working on one of these using hobbii yarn. specifically, the twister halloween limited edition one. can't remember the name of the color but it's making such a beautiful shawl. it's my first time making one, so i hope it comes out alright. but since i'm watching your tutorial, it should be simple because you explain things so well. (: anyway, have a wonderful day (or night, depending on when you read this) & thank you for being so good at teaching me new things even though i've been crocheting for around three years, i'm still learning. much love to you & yours, miss. dos

Later: The hardest part was getting the magic ring right! I always have trouble with it.. but it works.. The pattern is so easy.. The best part is that I think the pattern will work well with the Ice Cream Parfait yarn I am using.. The whole point is to not have to knit the shawl... Knitting takes way too long, snd I make too many mistakes. Thank you again, for solving my problem,, Added.. I am nearly done with my pretty shawl. And I am already planning another one...i want to use a warmer yarn next time. The Lion Brand Ice Cream Parfait produced a very pretty fabric... all warm, well saturated pastels, with no white. I’m very happy with the shawl, and I hope my friend likes it.

Thank you so much for simplifying this process and making it easy to follow. I'm trying to understand why you're able to make it work this way when other patterns take a more complicated approach to achieve the same result. For example, why would anyone do a ch3 and count it as a stitch when there's just no need?

[@HookedbyRobin]

I don't really hold it at all - I can't do the fancy shmancy wrapping around my finger like most do 🤔 It just kind of dangles through my fingers and does it's own thing! Don't worry too much about how you hold it, it'll sort itself out 😊

[@sandygrogg1203]

I am hoping this will work well with the yarn I am using... It looks too crazy in a regular granny shawl, and a knitted version will take eons.. I’m not a great knitter, so there is a lot of frogging involved... Going to give this a try...

[@sjpuck48]

I’m making this rn with Lionbrand Mandala. I decided that on every other color change of yarn, I would do all stitches (except for beginning and end stitches and the peak DC2, ch2, DC2) in BLO to give my shawl a bit of texture. Don’t know what it may look like in the end but… 🤷🏻‍♀️
