Crochet This Chunky Blanket in ONE DAY! 🧶 Beginner Friendly Pattern 🤩

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi friends, I hope you enjoy the video. If you are looking for a quick blanket project, this is the one! It's an easy one row repeat and grows very quickly with this yarn and hook size. I hope you are enjoying your weekend and have a wonderful Easter if you acknowledge it! xo

[@paulettedigiorgio6082]

Thanks so much I was looking for a new pattern. I love this,will try making it soon. Thanks again ❤

[@tonih9051]

Thank you! Very nice blanket. I'm gonna try it

[@danijohnson1038]

How many chains do you need for a full blanket?

I love your teachings also and your pets as well.

[@jmheller9268]

Love this. I'm a beginner. I love the Bernat blanket yarn!

[@Kelli_withan_I]

OMG... the tips at the end were just what I needed. I finished a blanket recently, and it was nowhere near straight. It killed me to undo it all. After wiping my tears, I decided to try again and found your video. I'm starting again now. Just wanted to say thanks.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Keep me posted , I hope it works out better for you 👏🏻💕

[@cindyhill5689]

I love that you include your cats in your tutorials! My black cat, Tazz, passed away over 4 years ago and I still miss him every day. I had a short-haired Maine Coon, named Monster, that reminds me of your other cat. I miss him too. Both were gentle giants.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Awe ❤️ I’m sure you do miss them. I’m so glad you are enjoying the cats in the video. I appreciate that because sometimes people don’t. But that’s ok, there are plenty of other videos on KZbin… and really it’s much easier to record now that I just keep filming 😆❤️

Just finished making a throw for a friend for Christmas with this stitching, started making a blanket for my grand baby. I am a long time beginner and this was so easy and fun to make. I did however use a smaller hook and found the blankets much thicker.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Yes, the hook size makes all the difference . I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😀💕🧶

[@cherielferguson]

Thank you for this video! I’ve crocheted for years but have difficulty reading patterns. I wanted something “brainless” to do while watching TV as I have a hard time sitting still. After trying several other stitches and a couple of patterns, this one just clicked right in my brain. I increased the width to 88 stitches and added another skein as my husband wanted it bigger. I’m enjoying the project - thank you!

[@kzbaby2002]

I just finished my second blanket. I really enjoyed this pattern. Here are a few of my observations : I bought 4 skeins in Bernat Blanket plum chutney and 4 skeins in tidepool. For whatever reason the plum chutney blanket was well over 4x5 ft and the tidepool was under 4x5. I found this very odd as each skein said 220 yards. For the chain I gave in and bought a 15mm hook. I could not get the chain right. Either it was too loose and sloppy or too tight and made the blanket curve. I frogged the first blanket A LOT. Also, because the yarn was variegated and my frogged yarn got curly it was really hard for me to find each chain. I ended up marking every 10th chain and that helped a lot. I got in the habit of every so often counting the V stitches in a row to make sure I had 31. (I did 66 chains). Also when I would make the Vs I got in the habit of saying 1-2 for each hdc so that I didn't make Ws or Is by mistake.

[@kzbaby2002]

Also I love the join technique. It is such a secure knot. One other thing I did - with the two tails - after weaving them in I used a small piece of thread in a similar color to tie the end to another strand in the blanket so that it would not pop up. Because the yarn is chenille the thread and knot just disappears in the fibers.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Awesome, thanks for sharing your experience! 👏🏻🧶💕

I always have this problem. No matter how loosely I do my first chain, all the above rows grow wider and curl, even tho I'm following the pattern correctly!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I think it’s just a tension issue - you might be working a little looser at times and not realizing it. We all do it. You could add a sc border around after you’re finished to help tighten it up if it’s really bothering you. You could also try omitting the chain in your v stitch occasionally but that might make it hard to see where to place your next stitch . Or try a smaller hook to bring it back in line .
