SO CUTE!!!!! Who ever owns this towel is so lucky! I wouldn’t use it at all, hang it for display!

[@KerrisCrochet]

I gave a couple as baby shower gifts. I gave my mother a flamingo towel like this one and she doesn't use it, it's an ornament.

[@nekolesingleton5601]

Thank you so much Ms Kerri! I had so much fun making this! I hope you have a wonderful day! Thank you for being a great teacher!

[@KerrisCrochet]

Thank you, you're welcome.

Hello Kerri, congratulations if you have just started doing the tutorials 😀 your clever than me, 😋 my techno!ivy skills are not very good. 😣 I have a tablet, I only know how to watch crochet tutorials 😀 & only just been able to subscribe & leave comments 😋 I know how to crochet, so I found your tutorial very easy with such thin crochet yarn/ thread. So I will definitely write your pattern down & crochet it on a towel, washcloth or blanket. & Things I crochet are given as presents/gifts, & honestly now my son is 20 I do not know many small children only 1 or 2. Thank you, this train & animals is so adorable 😁 Erica x

[@KerrisCrochet]

Hello Erica, Thank you. I'm not so good at technology either, My son has designed my website and edits the videos. I just design and crochet. I have all my patterns on my website which would save you from having to write them down. The website is www.kerriscrochet.com I mainly use my crochet for gifts too but do sell a small amount at a market. Kerri

[@ericabates5361]

Kerri. I absolutely LOVED this tutorial! Thank you for sharing! I just finished my engine. Looking forward to your other tutorials.

[@KerrisCrochet]

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it. I'm making the train set at the moment for a baby boy.

What a great idea! I am currently crocheting a baby blanket which is stretchy. I see this is applied to a towel. Do you foresee any issues applying it to a crocheted blanket? thanks so much. Great work. :)

[@KerrisCrochet]

I haven’t had any problems with appliqués added to blankets but I am careful and only hand wash them. The teddy bears picnic blanket was made using a mixture of wool and acrylic and was stretchy with lots of appliqués added.

[@willettejordan3785]

Ms Kerri I followed you about a year ago making your cute trains for a blanket. By any chance do you have a pattern for an elephant rug for baby's room, please let me know ASAP thanks

[@KerrisCrochet]

I have some elephant appliqués, a line of the baby elephants looks good along a blanket. I’ve also just designed an elephant granny square which has the head of an elephant worked into a square. I filmed it today but it will be at least a month before it is released. I’ve started making a baby blanket with the squares but am only halfway through.

[@abhilashaagrawal3484]

Your appliques are great.. Subscribed to your channel..

[@KerrisCrochet]

Thank you so much.

[@willettejordan3785]

I'm fairly new to crocheting. I'm expecting a great grandson in November, just found out my granddaughter is using trains as decor for babies room, this tutorial is great. I'm crocheting a blanket and want to add the train on. I've just finished the main part. I am using (4 medium yarn) cotton, is this right? I used a 4.25 mm hook, turned out a little big, do I need to use smaller hook? Thanks

[@KerrisCrochet]

Congratulations. For appliqués I use a size or 2 smaller hook than I would normally use for the yarn. I use fairly thin cotton but the appliqué can be worked in any yarn. To make it smaller use a finer yarn and hook or a smaller hook to make it slightly smaller.

[@ericabates5361]

Hello Kerri, I have just stumbled across your crochet channel 😀 This such a fabulous little train & a brilliant idea to add to a towel 😋 thank you Erica x

Quisiera hacer éste trabajo en Español para un nieto me gusta mucho

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

Such a wonderful design, Kerri! You are very talented! Especially like this train set. Just found your channel and subscribed. Always looking for designs for baby blankets and will definitely being keeping you designs in mind. Great video!

[@KerrisCrochet]

Thank you, the train set has been very popular and I've been sent photos to my facebook of some lovely blankets people have made using the train and animals.

Thank you for replying so quickly ... I'm new to crocheting, how would I scale that down to about 2 1/2 inches by 1 1/2 for my lil guys hat ?

How do I find the rest to train series please want to put it on my new grandsons blanket

[@KerrisCrochet]

Hello Di, the rest of the train series is in this playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLPAZvSi02h7vO5m99ZX2UqUhbBV8RMRU0

[@Ann-Vorol]

you don't say what size of crochet hook you use, it looks quite small for the yarn used?!

[@KerrisCrochet]

Sorry Lorna, this was one of my first videos so was just getting the hang of it. I use 4 ply crochet cotton which is fairly fine and a 1.5mm crochet hook. For appliques I always use a finer hook than I would if crocheting something else with the same ply yarn. Usually 1 or 2 sizes smaller.

[@kygirl1212]

OMG!!!! This is adorable...

[@KerrisCrochet]

Hola Elizabeth, gracias por el amable saludo. Lo siento por la respuesta tardía, estoy fuera de casa en este momento. Intentaré obtener subtítulos en español cuando llegue a casa.

[@KerrisCrochet]

Hola elizabeth He actualizado la serie de trenes con subtítulos en español. Estoy trabajando en hacer todos los videos. La serie de trenes y los videos anteriores no eran tan buenos con la cámara y la iluminación, el sonido y la edición son mejores ahora, así que espero que los videos estén bien para ti.

[@debrahayes8739]

How big is this engine cuz I'm making it for a childs hat ... Thank you

[@KerrisCrochet]

Hello Debra, I made it in 4 ply crochet cotton and it's 4" by just under 3" or 9.5 cm by 7 cm. I also use a finer hook than usual. Kerri

[@debrahayes8739]

Thank you for replying so quickly ... I'm new to crocheting, how would I scale that down to about 2 1/2 inches by 1 1/2 for my lil guys hat ?

[@KerrisCrochet]

Hello Debra, you would have to use fine crochet cotton, perhaps a number 20. You could also use about half the stitches and rows for the engine body and window. Leave off the last row for the wheels and roof and make the funnel a bit smaller. Kerri

[@jennyb7745]

Thankyou,but too miniscule for myself so hard to follow.
