How To Change Colors & Yarn Strands with Bernat Blanket | BEGINNER | The Crochet Crowd

[@rainafire2012]

7 years later and you're helping new people! You're the only video I've found that shows how to join out this size of the Bernat yarn. Thank you!!

[@kristiarcher1106]

I don't know what it is, but you always make things so easy to learn. I am not really a beginner, but I never really learned how to crochet the proper way. So thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

[@rockthebells3826]

This is awesome. I was in another tutorial and was running out of yarn. The host used a bigger skein and had nooooooooo instructions as to what to do🤦🏽‍♀️. Luckily for me, someone posted your link.

[@nanakathleen541]

You're a life saver. I wish I had known this sooner. All the weaving in of ends I have done on row changes after the blanket was finished.

[@thorina6604]

Thank you! I am on my 5th blanket (or mom hugs as I call them) and the color change ALWAYS made me crazy! This was so much easier. I especially love that you are worried about ends pulling back out, because I am also unreasonably worried about that! Your method of color change at the end of a row is perfect for me!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You are so welcome!

@@TheCrochetCrowd do you buy your wool from Amazon

[@silasozzie]

I have saved many yards/meters of my bernat blanket by using the change in the middle of the row you showed once before. i also hardly have ends to sew in thanx to your crochet over method. thanx

[@Thuuunderous_Wizard]

Wow thank you so much. It's my first time working with Bernat blanket yarn and I was so concerned about weaving my ends because it was thick I had no clue how to do it. Didn't even think to use my darning needle I was using my crochet hook to weave in and out. Weaving ends stresses me out. 😂😖

[@BonnieRatcliff]

Great tutorial!! I think you covered about every possibility there is. Thank you so much. I'm saving this for future reference.

[@carlyncarter4064]

First off, let me say I'm one of your big fans, too! Love your how-to videos, and couldn't make a thing without them....until now!!! The one thing I've had an issue with since I've decided to "yarn it up" is that no one has told me, showed me, offered a single way to join anything but multi-fiber/ply, or "tube" yarns!! I guess what I mean is this: I can find no reliable, simple (not necessarily "easy") way to join #6-#7 (super bulky/jumbo weight) yarns without sewing them! While the Blanket yarn and Baby yarns are awesome, the 'type' is the only thing it has in common with BIG. Aside from sewing it, can you advise how to correctly and invisibly (that being the most important) join Bernat Blanket BIG size yarn (and similar) in the middle of a project, ie., to change colors or when running out of a skein? Any words of wisdom would be appreciated since the yarn is discontinued, but it's an awesome critter if I could just use more than one skein a project!! Thanks again; you're the Boss!! C~

[@mariemarrazzo4492]

Thank you so much for your video. It was such a GREAT help.

[@laura12060]

That's an awesome demonstation! I've been crocheting for years, but think i'll use this method from here on in.

[@andilivia6]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@luckyjawa777]

Thank you, I'm still sort of new to crochet. This helps a lot.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You’re welcome 😊

[@katknits2105]

Thank GOD for this video! 😂😂😂 played yarn chicken this last row literally 2 stitches from the end of the row ROFL!

[@mscamille3139]

Awesome! Thank you so much for this wonderful how-to, very helpful.

[@idasoh]

Awesome! This is so useful for an absolute beginner like me. Thank you 😊

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Glad it was helpful!

[@idasoh]

@@TheCrochetCrowd I used the first method shown in this video and it worked so well. I also love the no wastage part. I am so stoked. Now my only problem is to whether to stitch my project up to make a bulky cowl or leave it as it is lol

[@ilyruiz2762]

I love your Tutorials !!!!! Your a great teacher 😊

[@Levi_The_One_The_Only]

Oh wow this is awesome!! So helpful!

[@renabee8246]

Very very helpful. Thankyou!

[@klytning]

what a great tip about color changing mid-row ... thank you :)!

[@maxyr.8879]

omg thank you so much for making this so easy. i really needed this!

[@leonoraacevedo1154]

I am so glad I found this video too.Now I can buy some of this yarn💯

[@SaundraClare]

Hi Mikey...Im a lifetime knitter...I don’t crochet...Have watched your videos in the past 🙂 Been using this yarn in 2020....my family members are getting warm blankets for Christmas in place of warm hugs Im “sewing” these connections with this yarn with a thread & needle ...after a very small knot connection....Its an easy 5 min task, no ends to weave...clean, NO yarn waste & have a difficult time finding the join after the fact

[@bfvargas8]

thank you mickey u are a great teacher!

[@katelynfitzsimmons1608]

Mind blown..... great tutorial.

[@JamesYakov1990]

Hi, I’m crocheting a jacket piece with super chunky 50% wool/acrylic. Do you think the ‘burying’ technique of changing colour or ball of yarn will hold securely with this type of yarn? Thank you!

[@VickyCooksalot]

you're the bomb! I was worried about when I got to this point. Thank you so much!😘

[@evalinemama]

This is so helpful, thank you!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm glad. Have an amazing day.

[@kristiporay-breistig2497]

That trick is freaken amazing!!! Thank you so very much. New crotcheter here.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You're on a roll! Keep at it. Michael

[@jessicamerkert111]

Thank you! This is very helpful.

[@lenak7554]

I been doing that for a while now, I love it!

[@reneematos5382]

I have done this, but 2 of the blankets I've made for others have come loose!!! I'm so upset, I'm afraid the other ones I've made will come loose also...I even tied a knot with the 2 ends!! I love this yarn but I'm afraid it will keep coming out...anything I can do to make sure this doesn't keep happening?

[@isabellewerder6485]

Thanks!

[@LisaComperry]

Does this blanket look a lot better after blocking? How does one block a blanket like this?

[@nancycoy9510]

Great demo! Thanks!

[@lcameron]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@Mzdiana82]

Excellent tutorial as always! 🖒😍

[@kristiporay-breistig2497]

Yes!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Glad this helped you.

[@1Bonnie777]

Hello. May I ask if this join is strong enough for machine washing? Or do you recommend handwashing? Thank you.

[@deewelch4264]

Thanks, that was sooooo helpful!

[@karencutchey2905]

Thanks!!!

[@Junkie4UrLuv]

Thank you for this video!!

[@cc-xu3mc]

okay this works for tight or close stitches but, what about loose stitches? How do I add more, do I tie a knot?~~cc

[@bhadrapatel9157]

Thank you good tutorial.

[@malikastone]

Mikey, how do you change colors when working in the round to create a clean line of delineation between the two colors? I'm working on a hat in all hdc. Thanks for all your great tutorials!!

[@Mzdiana82]

The same exact way. He covered it in the last step.

[@misscrafty5904]

What size of hook are you using please? Thank you

[@pattymayes3326]

I've used these methods but unfortunately with use and washing/ drying the blanket the yarn ends came undone! I had crocheted over them for 6-8 stitches. I don't understand how this works so well for others but not me...😢

[@Anonymous-dr8qn]

I love your tutorials. Can you tell me what brand type of hook you are using?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I believe this one is a BOYE hook. I would suggest a CLOVER 8 mm or L though.

[@judithdelrosario5080]

Does anyone have a video on changing this Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn in KNITTING???? Please help. PS. Your tutorial is very clear and I do crochet but the project I'm working on is knitted. HELP SOMEONE!!!!!!

[@Motherfightingdcfs]

What do you do with the little pieces after your tutorials? My god-daughter says you can use them for barbies as blankets and curtains. I would love to hear what you do with the left-overs?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I frog it and re-use it. :D

[@kitkatrn]

what is "frog It"?

[@Motherfightingdcfs]

Undoing the project

[@msmikkic9738]

When did "tear it out" become "frog it"? I've been away from crochet for a few years and had never heard this term until a couple of months ago.

[@DH-qz2so]

'Tear it out' became 'rip it out', which became 'ribbet' out'....so ribbet ribbet (rip it rip it)...is now 'frog it' .... referring to the sound that a frog makes....so now it is Frogging it out, or Frogging...!

[@Beth-cc3en]

can you please tell me what crochet hooks you are using? mine are that style, but only go up to a J. That yarn calls for L and I have yet to find one that size in the same style. I do not love the plastic hooks and those seem to be the only ergonomic ones in my area.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Size 8 mm or L hook. I picked up the hook at Michaels Stores.

[@msmikkic9738]

I totally agree with you about the plastic hooks. The yarn seems to stick to them and it really slows down my crocheting.

[@andreahuggins2642]

I agree I hate the dragging feel when I try to use a plastic crochet hook. The metal ones in larger sizes can be difficult to find in my area.

[@vidragon8180]

Does this method hold up against washing? My only concern would be the ends or stitches coming apart when I go to wash

[@angelasexton6068]

Wash on delicate cycle will be fine.

[@karendewillers5190]

How does this work in knitting?

[@msrottingroot46]

Very helpful! Thank you!!

[@mireyahernandez4784]

yea but what ur doing if the designe is different and the treat is showing up.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You use a darning needle technique to sew into the area using the same colour. If you cannot bury it, you have to hide it with a darning needle.

[@gamingkenneth4585]

What stitch is this?

[@andreamackey4154]

Iris Ordoñes this is a double crochet stitch (US).

[@gamingkenneth4585]
