Oh my! I just tried your way of closing off a round and I am so pleased with the result! Many folks have different takes on how to close out at round and I have been trying them all as I encounter them without being completely satisfied with any of them……till now! Thanks!

Robin, I just discovered you after doing a quick Google search here in California. I’m so happy your video popped up because you are amazing. I’m usually very easily irritated by instructional videos because they never seem to hold my attention. But not yours. Just the right amount of instructions. Just the right speed. Great information and amazing follow into with all the links, printable instructions etc. Great channel I’m sure. Can’t wait to explore more of your content!!!!❤❤❤

I love the colors. They give the project a sort of antique or vintage quality.

[@HookedbyRobin]

It's very muted vintagey yarn - I love it! X

[@rachellegge5988]

you are the first crochet expert I have seen using this method of holding the yarn and needle! I taught myself using this way as I could not get to grips w ith holding my fingers up for the yarn and holding the needle the way others do. So glad to see this. I also love this blanket idea and have sent off for some yarn - many thanks for the wonderfully clear instructions

[@HookedbyRobin]

I can't get on with the fingers in the air thing - my finger says no 😅

Haven't started a project yet. I will practice on some scrap yarn. Then I'm doing a baby blanket. Very excited to do this. Beautiful pattern and that border is delightful. Thank you for this tutorial. ❤️

[@bettygraham818]

Hi Robin. I was a late learner but I can honestly say that I have learnt more about crochet from your videos than the books I bought ! Incidentally, my 13 year old granddaughter ,who lives in Sweden, showed me her crochet bumble bee and I discovered that she had found you as well ! I am doing your cluster stitch circle in a square blanket with the Hayfield yarn and I wondered if you had any tips for calculating how much yarn is needed to do the squaring off and joining in the Scheepes Colorcrafter ?

[@juliemeanor6531]

You can crochet over the tails, no weaving in later. Such a time saver.

[@Buclady72]

Beautiful colors!

[@HookedbyRobin]

[@cheyennebarton]

I know this is an older video, but I'm using this motif to make a baby blanket for a friend and I'm so excited! I just started crocheting last month and your tutorials are my fave. My only trouble is I have such trouble with the treble crochet..mine always end up loose and awkward looking, and the stitch on top is often too big/wonky. Do you have any advice for a tidy treble crochet?

[@nx5224]

I also just started a blanket with this pattern & am having the same issue!

[@deborahm4484]

Hi it's probably a tension problem, try using a smaller hook, Good luck,

[@suzannewallace6216]

I’d really like to make this as a baby blanket for my friend’s new grandchild. I love the colours you’ve chosen and wondered if you could advise how many balls of each colour I would need for a standard sized baby blanket, sort of cot size I’m thinking of? 😊

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hmmm good question - you'd probably need at least 2 balls per colour for the circle sections? The balls are only 50g so not massive amounts per ball (I'm not the best at gauging how much yarn for a project as I have a tendency to just "wing it" 🤣) You definitely need more of the cream for joining! At least 6 balls? *disclaimer* I'm guestimating! It all depends on your tension and overall size of blanket If you aren't a fan of just eyeballing it and wild guess work (LOL) then the sensible thing I'd recommend is perhaps getting one of each, see how many squares you get from that then you can calculate how much more you'd need :-)

[@suzannewallace6216]

Hooked by Robin I have a tendency to overestimate how much I will need and end up with many left overs for that stash busting blanket that never gets made! So I’ll take your advice, one of each and see where I get to with that - thanks for your time and help, it’s very much appreciated. 😊👋

[@Grandmasterrett]

If you wanted to do one more round, would you just repeat the last round (including the trebles in the corners). I would like to make my squares a little larger.

[@HookedbyRobin]

I'd do a normal standard granny round for a second round (so just double crochet granny clusters all round) 🙂

[@Grandmasterrett]

@@HookedbyRobin thank you SO much! You must have been right at your computer….what a fast answer!

[@carolvissers1914]

Hi from Carol in Australia, I'm trying to crochet sunflowers following Anita Louise's design and your technique, however I am having terrible trouble keeping my 2nd round flat, I have adjusted my tension, and added a chain between the double crochet stitches in the first round, but it still crinkles. HELP!! I am becoming very frustrated. I know there is a solution, because yours are always lovely and flat.

[@julielefebvre2414]

So so beautiful !! Hi how much yarn did you used of each colors ? (Sorry for my english i’m French ) ! Thank for this lovely pattern ❤

[@TheMsAngelaS]

Do you have a tutorial on doing the border for this blanket?

[@ClarecraftCollections]

Hi Robin, I started this crochet project quite some time ago and had got as far as joining them with the continuous join as you go method. I have about 24 joined currently and lot s of circles ready to go. My problem is I cannot now find instructions of how I did the joining, all I can find are videos showing how to join a granny square. Can you point me in the right direction please?

[@slizr111]

If I want a 4th round of color before squaring off, would I continue in the same pattern and do 4 dc in ea ch sp? And then follow the same directions for squaring off?

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yep! You'll need one extra side section on the squaring off round too :-)

[@vickigreen4000]

Join as you go for this pattern I can’t see the description box do you complete one round before joining to the next round?

[@Alice-mt9lu]

@hookedbyrobin Hi Robin, thanks so much for this tutorial! I've made lots and lots of circles and want to do the continuous joining method. When I follow the link, it goes to a video which shows pre-existing square rounds, rather than circle. I'm not sure whether I'm supported to follow your squaring technique in this first video (I'm commenting on!), I guess so, but you say in the video to only to that if you want to join it one by one ( rather than continuous joining). Sorry if I'm totally missing the point :-D Would be so grateful if you can clarify, thank you xxx

[@Inalaf]

Very nice ❤️🇨🇦

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you!

[@ritatannehill7487]

Love this granny variation! Do you think you could start your rounds, after the first one, with a standing dc?

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yes absolutely!

[@andrearogers6383]

Could I do this is one solid color?

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yes definitely Andrea!😃 It just won’t give the same look, but it is person preference.x

[@kathleencrawford5438]

Since I'm fairly new to this, I'm wondering if you could tell me how many squares I need to complete a throw/afghan size blanket?

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hi Kathleen - there is no set answer as such as it depends on a couple of factors; how big you want your finished blanket to be and how large each individual squares works up :-) I'd advise to make a square, measure it and then you can work out how many you will need to make a blanket of the size you want! (I hope that makes sense!)

[@kathleencrawford5438]

@@HookedbyRobin thank you, yes it does help and makes so much sense lol

[@samanthaslater9665]

[@jessiecolver4422]

How do I use just one color?

[@huntercharles3458]

Where am I supposed to be placing the last double crochets on round two? Somehow I always end up with 11 stitches even though I'm following exactly what you're doing. All my Granny squares are wonky cause I don't have a stitch for the last 2 double crochet

[@huntercharles3458]

I followed the video to make 40 of the first round cause I have a big project but now I can't use any of them cause somehow I always end up losing the last stitch. I'll probably have to redo it all and do 12 double crochet in the magic ring just to get this to work.

[@paulapomeroy830]

Think I must have missed something. Can you do the continuous join as you go from the circle stage or do you square them off first?

[@HookedbyRobin]

From the circle stage! So just treat the squaring off part the same way you would do the continuous join as you go with squares (I hope that makes sense!) X

[@HookedbyRobin]

OR you can do the Continous join as you go AFTER you've squared them off - totally up to you! 😍

[@paulapomeroy830]

Think I’ve got it - presume you still use the trebles on the corners? So needy.........😉

[@HookedbyRobin]

@@paulapomeroy830 yep! Still need the trebles - use those instead of ordinary doubles in the CJAYG if you are doing it from the circle only stage 👍 P.S. not needy at all! I'd rather you ask and have it clear in your brain box! 😅
