Hello! I love this blanket, I’m n the process of making one. When I did 75 chains, once I did the first stitch it seems short. I’m using wool-ease Thick & Quick. Help!

[@Linrn35]

A few months ago I decided to learn how to crochet, and I watched a lot of tutorial video's. My blanket was HORRIBLE! I couldn't figure out what in the world I was doing wrong. I was so frustrated! Then I came across this video. You explained things so clearly for a novice like me! I'm on my way to crocheting beautiful blankets now! Thank you so much!

[@furnitureduchess9103]

This is beautiful and seeing your pups playing adds a lot to the video.

[@PlaidLawnchair]

Thank you, Christine! Crocheted my first ever blanket from your instruction!! We love it. Thank you!

[@janegendreau484]

[@msberry2011now]

I weave the tail in whenever I change yarn or add a yarn saves time later. Love this yarn I had to save the type so I can get some.

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Great Idea!! Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🙏🎨

[@margaritavilla8533]

Hello!! I just started my blanket 😃 I can't wait to see the results 🙈🙈😃 I'll let you know how looks. Thanks so mucho for this tutorial, is so easy to follow even when I am a beginner 😬😆😄🥰🥰

Lindíssima essa colcha de crochê.👏🏼👏🏼♥️🇧🇷

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you!!! ❤️🎨🙏

[@mariavieira8520]

Muito obrigada 💋💛💐

[@marietroutman4584]

I really like your voice, but I have that crochet hook and it is the worst Crochet hook I ever had. I don’t like that each time you have to go over that bump so I would definitely try this throw, but I would never use that crochet hook. I’m looking forward to seeing other tutorials that you do. Thank you.

[@livingcreatively1]

That throw is gorgeous. I love those colours together. Navy blue would look just as good for a bit of colour as well. Have a great weekend 😊

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🎨🙏

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Good morning Christina, what a lovely "dense" blanket! I love the colours, and as you used single crochet this really is a snug blanket for a rainy or snow day. I agree, they make wonderful gifts to a special friend or family member, this really becomes a treasure and if care is taken it can be passed on at a later stage, not that I would part with such a precious handmade throw. I have to agree, your teaching is excellent, every area where we could go wrong you have emphasized the could be problem later on, the working away of the yarn tails are lovely, they will not come lose and if they do, we can just weave them back in. The dogs are lovely, Pascal is like a battery operated toy, he just keeps going and going. Hadley just looks and keeps his thoughts to himself, he is not wasting his energy chasing after his toys it seems. Any idea when the big move will take place, have you found your new home or are you still searching? Wishing you all the best, take care, Kind regards.

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

I really appreciate your thoughtful comment 🙏 Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes you are absolutely correct about Pascal lol 😂 he is a battery that out does mine lol. He has such a beautiful face and lovely character too! Best wishes to you and your family 🤗♥️♥️

[@lisadehner1991]

Love your video! Do you count the first (chain) row as a row? I'm following your video to make sure I have 7 rows before changing color.

[@pamelahammell1881]

The best instructions I have seen, thanks

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Glad it was helpful!🙏🎨❤️

[@lorenamendoza1717]

Hi. The yarn is. Now 8.99. At Joanns. Where did you buy it? Loved how easy you explain it.

[@dowlathulfasila8619]

Hi. Thanks for the video. Im planning to make baby blanket can I know how much number of stitches for baby blanket?

[@tooshieg2059]

This was an awesome video with clear and concise instructions. Thank you for sharing. I'm inspired to give it a try. Got a coupon for savings this week!! One thing you didn't talk about but I noticed that your loops always went down the crochet hook to the skinny portion. I assume this helps to keep your loops uniform in size?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you so much for your kind comment and yes 🙌 you are absolutely correct 👍🏻 about the loops! 🤗♥️♥️

[@jaredschrock5270]

I want to single stitch a bernat blanket for an adult size (full or queen size blanket). How many chains do I need to make? I saw some do 50 for baby blankets.

[@marileesavage9938]

Where did you get the yarn at that price? It’s my favorite!

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you so much! Michael's Craft store. I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🎨🙏

[@pulsar3566]

I have always wanted to learn and you have been a wonderful teacher! I know it has been awhile but what size yarn would this be classified as? I would like to make a blanket for my dad

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you so much!!!! oh Gosh, I believe this was a chunky yarn I used. I think on the video there is a shot of the yarn label, if you can take a look in my video chapter description it should take you to that section. I hope you enjoy today's new video as well! ❤️🎨🙏

[@kimpm2117]

I like the wool you chose. Did you buy it at Michaels? Regarding the chain at the end I have always chained 2 regardless of the pattern. I Al going to attempt one of the patterns you posted in a previous video. Kim in Niagara.

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you so much! yes I get mine from Michaels on sale. I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🎨🙏

[@ritwikbhatia2174]

Hi, what adjustments would need to be made for a 15mm hook?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

not much you will just make them larger, I used I believe a 12mm hook. Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🎨🙏

[@jackienelson-champagne3246]

I chained 1 at the end and it is getting wider for some reason- do you know why?

[@LisaBromfieldInspires]

How many inches wide are each stripe?

[@MrsSPaG]

I love this project and I'd like to try it. In the UK, three skeins of Lion Brand Easy Quick and Thick cost £50. Could you recommend another brand at all? I'm new to crochet, so don't know much about wool or yarn.

[@glynnismonaghan9032]

I think any chunky wool would be fine.

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you so much! Take a look at my video description, I have a link to amazon that may be cheaper for you. I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🎨🙏

[@cathyobrien9890]

I really want to try this blanket. I’ve never crocheted before and I’m confused by how you grab the loops for the single crochet. Maybe I’m wrong but it looks like when you go into the top of the loop you turn your hook to the right and then you turn it to the left to pull thru to complete the single crochet. Am I seeing it correctly?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

It can be confusing to see crocheting as a beginner, I know I was lol 😂 It is correct of you to mention the turn of the crochet hook. Everyone is a little different on how they feel comfortable to using the hook. Try a small sample of the pattern of single crochet, maybe 5-10 stitches to start and make a couple of rows and get a feel of how the hook fits and turns to grab the yarn. How you described it sounds correct 👍🏻 🤗♥️♥️

[@cathyobrien9890]

What brand 16mm crochet hook did you use? Don’t see the brand.

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Hi Cathy! No particular brand just find one that’s comfortable for you. I prefer the plastic ones. 🎨🙏❤️
