Easy Yet Beautiful Crochet Blanket Tutorial - The Dorothy Throw

[@rosiosalas5792]

Beautiful blanket! I learned this pattern 20 something years ago when the wife of one of our church elders held a crochet class for us young mothers. This is the pattern she taught. Her mom who was 91 years old, later made me a blanket in this stitch. I’ve been making beautiful gifts using this stitch since then. I also use it for scarves and hot pads, but instead of the chain three, I chain two and double crochet twice instead of three. It gives a tighter effect and perfect for scarves and hot pads, but I love this original pattern for a blanket.

[@Pakrs61]

@rosiosalas5792; Thanks for posting your tips, I was trying to figure out how to make a scarf and washcloths using this stitch without as much space. Perfect 😊

[@Pakrs61]

.S. Did you use a smaller hook for the scarf & washclothes? Thx again

[@Pakrs61]

Hot pads not washclothes! It wouldn't let me edit above comments

[@rosiosalas5792]

@@Pakrs61 you’re very welcome! It’s a beautiful stitch. ♥️

[@rosiosalas5792]

@@Pakrs61 I use a size 5 hook for scarves and hot pads.

[@angelacreson2098]

Ok, what the heck?! I just went to Joanne’s yesterday and bought this exact yarn. I told my daughter I’d have to go look through your blanket tutorials. And what do I find? This video!! What are the odds haha.

[@beckysteinmiller338]

Do you use a crochet hook or is that a magic wand?? You create such beautiful things! I hope you will keep and enjoy your blanket!!❤

[@marthathatcher2216]

I love your patterns, they are so easy to understand. I am not aloud to watch anymore until I finish my blanket because I see another one of your patterns and change my mind and restart with the new pattern. I have no idea how many times I have done this. I NEED HELP. LOL😢

[@tracywenzel6163]

Same here! 😅

[@peggybrillant1432]

This looks very much like the C2C pattern, but without having to do the decrease. I love making C2C blankets, but doing the decrease is a drudgery for me. This is the perfect alternative!! Thank you, Crystal❤

[@Emerald_Warlok]

Girl I know you made the comment 9 months ago but it's not the decrease for me but the increase. I just never know how much to increase

[@tonid7490]

I always love how you say "skip skip skip" Beautiful blanket! I have been wanting to use that ombre yarn as I think it is so pretty. This will be on my Must Make list.

[@janiceguy8752]

I catch my self silently saying it ..😊

[@shannonhawbaker1378]

I love it too! Skip skip skip!

[@mistyblue5312]

As winter slowly approaches this would be a nice gift for Christmas ! ❤❤❤

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

I think so too!

[@kathiemccune5436]

Beautiful, aww, the throw has my sweet aunt's name ( my she rest in peace )

[@PeggyF]

This blanket is wonderful. I always enjoy a 1 row repeat and love the border.

[@Dawn6761]

Crystal I really enjoy your videos and it keeps me motivated for crocheting because I started crocheting back in 2016. Since my mom passed, she was my “cheerleader,” and I always looked forward to going and getting yarn, which I have endless amount of yarn in totes. With mom passing I couldn’t crochet for a long period of time. But you, Crystal, give me a reason to get back into crocheting again. Thanks for sharing and giving me a “purpose” again. Your an inspiration to us all 💕 Keep up your amazing work

[@memmie1104]

Oh, wow! This is so much like the C2C stitch that I use but in a horizontal format instead of a C2C format. That means it's a quick and easy blanket to make. I LOVE IT! I always wished I knew of a way to make it horizontal and now I can. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching it to all of us. Blessings!

[@DorothyMiddleton-y2h]

My name is Dorothy. I made this blanket and it is one of my favorites. I so appreciate your tutorials and this one especially hit a home room for me. I made exactly according to your instructions including yarn and colors. Thanks so much!!

[@MissJenaCrochets]

As soon as I saw this I picked up my hook and yarn! Just started the first of the repeat rows! I'll be using the colors of the rainbow and I think it will look perfect with this beautiful pattern! I spent hours last night, all the way to 3am, trying to find a the perfect pattern & couldn't find just the right one... then this showed up! It was meant to be 😁 Thank you Crystal! ❤

[@lindapearson3340]

This blanket is so beautiful. A friend of mine just moved into a new Condo and he asked me if I could make him a blanket for his couch so I am thinking of making this blanket but in Brown Colors. Thank you for showing us how to make this beautiful blanket. You are the best. Love your channel and your patterns. Your a wonderful teacher.

[@brendabrown7864]

It’s absolutely beautiful Crystal🤎

[@amydavis4945]

I'd forgotten how much I love the herringbone stitch! I'm not ready to invest the time into a huge blanket, but you did get me cranking out a herringbone scarf, LOL!

[@sandratanner8138]

It’s beautiful. I love working the herringbone stitch

[@kimhall9967]

Its very beautiful afghan Crystal

[@kimberlyrivard6945]

Stunning work. The herring none stitch I absolutely love. I’m just finishing my first blanket and might use this border. Thanks so much. God bless

[@elizabethburnett2486]

I made this Blanket about 50 years ago I was only about 10 and I got the yarn and crochet hook from my Aunt Fran and Uncle Don for Christmas and she showed me how to do the stitch and she called it the brick stitch and I still have this blanket to this day. The border I did was the same stitch . Love this stitch now I know what blanket I’m going to be doing next thank you for putting this

[@kathyhanley1292]

That is a beautiful blanket love the herringbone border xxxc

[@kellybarteaux9151]

I'm making this throw for my granddaughter right now and it works beautifully. She is very excited and loves it already. Thanks for another awesome tutorial, Crystal!!!

[@patriciajohnson6272]

Beautiful blanket and I love the border.

[@Court-And-Crime-With-Tia]

As a small crochet and crime channel myself. I absolutely just love your videos and this blanket looks gorgeous. Wow I love love love this

[@lonestargal1]

Corner to Corner (C2C) done straight instead of on the diagonal, with a few easy tweaks. How awesome is that! LOVE THIS!

[@dianarodriguez4581]

Finally, I found the blanket for my son. I love it. You are a great teacher.

[@crochetcarri]

I love the tulip stitch. It makes a very pretty blanket. I appreciate patterns that are the same on both sides for blankets.✌️❣️🧶

[@crochetizlife]

Its gorgeous ❤❤❤but that herringbone border is gorgeous stunning❤❤❤❤😊

[@DianneMc]

This is such a pretty blanket! The colors are perfect and the herringbone stitch makes a beautiful border.

[@lynnechapman6204]

I love this. As soon as I finish my 2 baby blankets, I'm making this one. Thanks, Crystal. And yes, keep that blanke!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@marion4351]

I have an idea keep this one commission someone to do one for the auction. Or maybe someone will do it as the one they donate. Likely in a different yarn. If I didn't use a walker and was able to easily get a package to the post office that person would be me.😊I always love this blanket stitch. For some reason herringbone and I though don't get along lol. I love these boarders your doing lately. Even the post stitch ones which I hate doing. If the look is right I'll do it.😊

[@brendascuccimarri8138]

Beautiful blanket,the border didn’t look as difficult as I thought. Thanks for the tutorial

[@l.a.w.79]

Oh my gosh I did not know that this stitch had a name. I used this stitch to make my closest friend’s first born a baby blanket. I lost the pattern and couldn’t remember how to start it!! Gonna keep this video and make one for myself 🤩

[@cindybraddock5319]

I love this stitch thank you for sharing

[@sandraparker3194]

I just made a 12 point star blanket from this very same yarn and color. It turned out as beautiful as yours. You made my day in that we chose the same yarn. You have taught me well. Thank you so much❤❤

Gorgeous! I'll be starting my last of 9 blankets that will be Christmas gifts this year. I've been looking at a ton of designs for my brother and sister-in law's mom, who lives with them. This decided it! I've learned so much from you over the past 2 years, Crystal. I'm really excited to be making one of your blankets.

[@sandrapalmer5642]
