[@emilie1012]

Thank you! Easy to follow along! Some people who do these tutorials go too fast or don't explain very well.

[@ernestinemiller5155]

@Vicki Hicks @

[@logancampbell7924]

i agree, or they seem to talk forever about the type of yarn and then vaguely explain what to do.

[@janquinn261]

I LOVE that you demonstrated how to hold this yarn. I love the softness and look of it, but, it's a bear to work with. I have arthritis and every time I work with it, my hands hurt and are sore. This technique rocks!! You are brilliant!!

[@HowToWithKristin]

Thank you! ❤️

[@kaylala26]

This video was so helpful. I have been tearing my hair out trying to find a video I could follow for my cousin's baby blanket. I really appreciate how slow you went AND that you repeated the steps multiple times. This was great! Thank you so much.

[@HowToWithKristin]

Forgot to put in the video that I used 2 balls of yarn but I made a very small blanket. You will need more if you want to make a larger one.

[@emmamarieblair1555]

How did you add the other ball of yarn to the blanket with out making it look bad?

[@delilahgillis5287]

YOU NEED TO LEAVE A LONGER PIECE OF YARD & GO BACK & FORTH 3 TIMES . ONLY 1 TIME & REAL SHORT COULD UNRAVEL

[@bncsmom1]

I love your crochet videos! Could you please do one for the broomstick stitch? I'm just starting, can't read crochet patterns yet, though, so tutorial videos are my only option to learning at the moment. Other tutorials are confusing but you really break it down and make it easy to follow you! Thanks!

[@rhondamartin8767]

AWESOME!! Tyou..FOR THIS PATTERN.

[@veronicaedwards9098]

Kristen I really appreciate your video. my question is I have seen v stitch done with a chain one stitch inbetween the 2 double crochet stitches for a more pronounced v. would you know if I still need an even amount of stitches using the technique I've seen

[@hayleyschneider424]

thanks for this vid i made this for Rainer days and sold it for $35 is what the people offered for it. and could you still do this blanket but with a different type of yarn.

[@rosalindasanchez1923]

Awesome tutorial

[@sudhadewesar3511]

Very easy and so beautiful baby blanket 👌😊 I love ❤ it Please tell me how much yarn is needed for this project

[@FaatimahsDollsllc]

Thanks so much for this video!!! truly It helped me a lot...

[@cindyelrod6288]

I love your tutorials and I just finished my v stitch blanket but mine is huge since my 5'10" tall [21-yr old] g-daughter wanted it for her bed. (It measures 68" wide X 76" long.). QUESTION: Can you please recommend a border to use with this stitch? I can really appreciate your input on this. Thanks a bunch and I am super excited as I've only been crocheting 11 months now and I'm proud of my project. looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials.

[@HowToWithKristin]

a lot of times when I do a border, I do a single crochet. I have a video on how to do that in my Crochet playlist.

[@emmamarieblair1555]

Did you have to add more yarn? How did you do that?

[@Witieri]

Quick question... at 5:00 it is explained how to start that next row by going in the smaller edge loop - is that the same for each new row start? If so, I got confused by the statement about continuing the project using the big spaces and my sides started tapering inwards. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@HowToWithKristin]

It’s kind of hard to explain it in writing but you can check out this other video I just uploaded where I demonstrate it really slow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIasl4ljhsikaMU

[@Djb1976]

Good video!

[@melissagreen725]

Ok so you said make chain 64 how many rows do u come out with for this type blanket and I have say your amazing so videos with me starting out they go to fast and u don’t I thank you for that !

[@debbyduarte2334]

Can you link to where you got your crochet hook for this pattern please.

[@sueknott1498]

Hi. On your answer to - How many balls did you use? you said 1 ball but when somebody else asked you later on you said 2 balls. I would like to make this but don't know how many balls to buy. Also cpuld you tell me how many chains you casted on with as I like the size you made. Thanks

[@HowToWithKristin]

The one must have been a typos, I used 2. I also pines that at the top for future viewers. Thanks for mentioning the different responses

[@rozainasajdin8545]

Thank you

[@lisabinney4163]

My problem is when I get to the end of a row where do I go in to keep the rows straight as I find my blanket become lop sided

[@BrookelexiMusic]

Lisa Binney same

[@OGKrushy]

I'm using a 19mm needle. Would it look ok doing this kind of stitch? Although it's a really big needle?? Lol

[@HowToWithKristin]

ya that would work, it will just be pretty loose

[@dianacrutchfield923]

How many skeins of the chunky yarn did you use to make a baby blanket ? ( 32 x 40 )

[@francesrivera9547]

I love that you're a Lefty.

[@HowToWithKristin]

I'm actually not :)

[@brelynngrammer1835]

Do you think this is a pretty good method for someone who has never crocheted I need te o make two blankets and I am clueless.

[@HowToWithKristin]

I would actually start with a single crochet or a double half crochet. My other channel has detailed directions on those styles. It’s called Kristin’s crochet tutorials

[@susangoldstein4210]

Can you use this yarn to make a small blanket with single crochet, I do not want holes because I make them for premie babies

[@HowToWithKristin]

Yes, you can but it will be more difficult

[@alishacoffey9802]

how big do you make this blanket and can you change colors on the rolls?? my sons baby crib is grey and teal green...or can you put all in one color then do a boarder in off color??? very awesome video thank you for showing this..going to go get some yarn yay...

[@HowToWithKristin]

you can do two individual colors together or do a border...both are good options. This blanket ended up being about 30x40

[@maryhanson7391]

What size hook is she using

[@Ellinesscrafts]

Awesome

[@jennymessier3570]

i am having trouble keeping even sides on the blanket - i know i started loose and as i became more comfortable my stitch a bit tighter so the blanket has a funnier shape to it. is there something i can do to fix this without having to take the whole thing apart? I just taught myself to crochet from youtube videos a week ago and this is my first project! other than wonky sides, it came out pretty good. :)

[@HowToWithKristin]

usually if the sides are off, it's because the rows don't have the same amount of posts. Do you count your stitches?

[@tamaracrochet2326]

How many scanes of yarn did you use for the baby blanket

[@quinncrochet19]

Is it possible to put a boarder around this v stitch blanket??

[@samanthanock9058]

I'm just asking what's the multiple of the starting chains please

[@brookaleena4277]

Hi, great video!! What are the multiples of this blanket? I have read your written pattern and it does not specify. I also asked on your other tutorial about the multiples, howver you never responded !!!

[@HowToWithKristin]

I’m not sure because I don’t really use patterns or work with multiples.

[@jacquelineso630]

Question do the first 2 V rows alternate or do you just continue the last row you did until the desired length? Making a blanket for my sister I just want to make sure I do this right. Thank you so much!

[@HowToWithKristin]

I'm not sure what you mean by alternate, you go in between the V from the previous row. Does that make sense?

[@jenniferzeorlin4941]

I have thick yarn for blanket and Im confused on whr to put first double crochet

[@marissadanielle5648]

will you show us how you did the end of a row like the last stitch on a row cus im having trouble? im doing this blanket but im getting discouraged as i feel im doing it wrong.

[@Damselfly54315]

What size was it at finish for the whole blanket?

[@teresacort4551]

How many balls did you use?

[@cassandragonzales7729]

After the first 64 On your second row how many did you do?

[@paulacarrack1594]

At the end of the first row, do you only put one double crochet and then 3 stitches before you turn ?

[@HowToWithKristin]

+Paula Carrack you just finish out the V-stitch, then do three single crochet and turn

[@amazedbyhisgrace1606]

@Kristin...3 s/c at the end or ch 3 at the end?

[@homerthetruckguy5324]

forget the baby this is for me!

[@reneewebster4645]

if I want to make a bigger blanket how do you figure the number of chains?

[@HowToWithKristin]

pretty much you just need to make sure you have even numbers

[@amazedbyhisgrace1606]

Kristin, I have noticed over time that most people add extra stitches to the end of their chain, depending on what stitch they are using...like adding one extra for s/c, etc. Do I need to do this for this project?

[@delilahgillis5287]

CHAIN & THEN MEASURE THE LENGTH OF CHAIN I MAKE MY BABY 36 INCH BY HOW EVER LONG YOU WANT IT

[@chrissyreagle3044]

I may have missed it, but how many skeins did you use for this blanket?

[@HowToWithKristin]

I can’t remember offhand but I’m pretty sure it was 2. Please be aware though that I made a small blanket for an infant. May need as many as six depending on the size of blanket you’re making

[@chrissyreagle3044]

How To With Kristin thank you so much! This gives me an idea of how many skeins to buy. I want to make sure I had enough!

[@amazedbyhisgrace1606]

Does it matter what your multiples in your chain are?

[@HowToWithKristin]

+AmazedbyHisgrace1 are you referring to the amount of chains you do at the beginning?

[@brittanyliotto2272]

I need too know the same. The ones at the beginning, does it matter multiples when you make it larger

[@cathyruppe2350]

You should have finished row two and did a third row to make sure the edges were straight lost after on end of row two

[@lisagonzalez6546]

I made a blanket for my grandson with the pattern that comes with the yarn

[@HowToWithKristin]

+Lisa Gonzalez awesome!

[@7575Nikki]

I'm already 1.5 balls into it and it looks like a scarf not anything close to a blanket. I am using a 10 hook tho. wth am I doing wrong?

[@pathund1]

Is there a printable pattern for this blanket? Thanks.

[@sevay22]

Did you use 300 g of yarn? 1 big ball?

[@delilahgillis5287]

2 balls are neeyes. Each ball is 220 yds.

[@francesrivera9547]

How long did it take you to finish this baby blanket?

[@HowToWithKristin]

I worked on it for about an hour for 3 days or so. I just did it while I was watching TV

[@richellebrown1844]

i cannot keep straight edges im not to sure were to put the turning chain

[@darriusgardi3702]

What kind of yarn was this

[@skinnydolldiana4398]

Hi thanks for the vid... what size needle did you use?

[@HowToWithKristin]

I used an 8mm

[@laticiajohnson2977]

Skinnydoll don't

[@marissadanielle5648]

How To With Kristin is that a boye size L 11 8.00mm im so confused on the hook sizes??? please help

[@shannongg2014]

Southern Gypsy Soul I wld say yes for American size we go by letter hook size but other places use the mm to measure their hook sizes. Hope this helps

[@shannongg2014]

Southern Gypsy Soul I however don't have an L but I have a K and an N so i jusr used my N hook but its really up to you unless you need exact measurements, such as if making a sweater

[@BrookelexiMusic]

I don’t get how u get it a square my blanket goes lopsided

[@jenniferzeorlin4941]

on the second row

[@sonyaimbody6616]

How many rolls of yarn did you use?

[@sonyaimbody6616]

Never I just read the other comment 😬

[@HowToWithKristin]

sorry, I forgot to mention that in the video

[@Lyndeejo88]

How do these wash?

[@HowToWithKristin]

+Lyndee Day I usually just wash it as a delicate item

[@rk212005]

I have been trying to make this blankets my phone me simple instructions from this video for last 15-20 minutes and it's coming out looking like a circle I don't know what I'm doing wrong

[@HowToWithKristin]

Maybe try watching one of my slower demonstrated videos on my other channel here: kzbin.info/door/AEhf_aQR3dSQIvPwnsqWdg

[@kanikajohnson4533]

Could i use this yarn for a jumper

[@tkachev_andrey]

класс , я понравиться

[@Ktr731]

Any written pattern

[@HowToWithKristin]

no, sorry. I do this all by memory.

[@jackiewhite9006]

I must be stupid because I am having trouble following. I just want to make a blanket.😖

[@HowToWithKristin]

Just don’t give up 😊

[@aklimasuchi2794]

What hook size you used in this video

[@HowToWithKristin]

Size 7

[@kaytiecrenshaw4198]

how do you finish out a row?

[@HowToWithKristin]

I'm not sure I could clearly explain it in text, I would just suggest watching that part of the video again

[@tinamccartney3778]

I didn't see where you ended a row other than on the foundation chain. Quite confused.

[@sallypeaches4066]

Not a good yarn for beginners hard to see stitches.

[@jasminenystrom9074]

Thank you
