How to Crochet the Alpine Stitch Blanket tutorial - Easy Crochet Blanket Pattern

[@cathy1625]

You are doing a great job explaining everything! The idea for the triple crochet was fantastic thank you very much!

[@zoewynne8433]

This is a great tutorial that explains a lot of elements clearly 👍! As a long-time knitter, it can be difficult to understand how to visually recognize various things. Your description of where to work the front post is helpful too. I don't think I've ever seen a tutorial where the teacher worries that they're explaining anything that could pop up, it's really cool of you!

[@Yarnhookneedles]

Zoe Wynne what a wonderful comment to read this morning! Thank you so much for taking time to say these things ☺️ I’m really glad you enjoyed it!! 💕

[@MariaN-om1jr]

I liked how you explained it , very clear.

[@lorihannon-theaker7531]

Thank you for such a clear tutorial! I just scored 14 skeins of slate blue hygge yarn to make a blanket for my Minnesota son and his wife. They get COLD, so combining this stitch with this yarn will be cozy and lovely!

Hi Jerica this is my all time favorite blanket to crochet I'm currently crocheting my 3rd alpine blanket I've made one for each of my daughters now I'm crocheting one for myself but I'm making it as a weighted blanket I'm using bulky 6 yarn with a 9mm hook .. I've done some reseach and apparently weighted blankets help with chronic pain I have fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis severe depression and anxiety so anything that helps us good sending you hugs from Canada 😘🤗💖🇨🇦

[@Yarnhookneedles]

🇵🇹Tina Ferraz 🇨🇦 that’s wonderful you’ve made several! I’m glad you like it so much ☺️💕💕 I too have heard that weighted blankets can help with these issues so I pray you find success when you finish the alpine you’re making for yourself!

[@Phoenix-Ash1111]

@@Yarnhookneedles that's all thanks to you for teaching me how to crochet this beautiful blanket 😘🤗

[@Yarnhookneedles]

🇵🇹Tina Ferraz 🇨🇦 🙈 awww thanks! It’s my pleasure to help and teach!

[@angelwilly5621]

I'm trying to use a bulky yarn right now. Did the 9 mm work really well for close together stitches? Also do you work tight stitches or loose, cause I know I crochet tighter and I don't want to worry about curling

[@kristakeller9712]

Thank you for this easy to understand tutorial.

[@yvonnemariereibin9891]

thank you very much, i’ll be making several blankets for christmas 🎁 gifts

[@katyfeinstein9940]

Thank you for moving slow I’m trying to learn how to crochet and with you in my corner I can do it. Thank you very much.

[@eleanortalmadge9202]

How I Learned I was 2324 years old bye just looking at it and going home and crocheting whatever I was looking at that's a doorley a tablecloth or bedspread I did it all now I just can't get enough of it I just want to crochet crochet crochet but the only thing is I don't know how to do I get that big long face in the middle it takes a while I love it

[@ErikaMSchreck]

Thank you so much! Love the texture and definition. What a lovely find. Gratitude for your generous share and inspiration. I've been crocheting a little more than 30 years.

[@gerryrouse7537]

Thank you so much for your suggestions. Had started a throw for my cousin which turned into a tube. Now I’m using the front post treble and it’s turning out great. Really appreciate your recommendations 😊

[@estellecano8301]

I did the alpine stitch and really liked my results . Thank you for your tutorial on it . I loved how my blanket turned out.

[@Yarnhookneedles]

Woohoo!!

[@teresagriffin]

Thank you! Yes, mine was curling and had a ridge through the middle. Tried yours and worked perfectly! Using Bella Coco instructions and watching her video….mine didn’t look anything like hers.🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[@julies5515]

Yes I have run into this problem. I even switched hooks. It still curls. I may try this version.

[@sharonfrench7005]

Thank you for this very detailed video of this awesome stitch.

[@Yarnhookneedles]

Sharon French my pleasure!!!

[@bettylouneace8956]

I feel you are a really good teacher!!! I'm anxious to try this Alpine stitch for an afghan. I 'm very glad there are no BPDC because they are hard on my fingers. I've been looking for a pattern similar to the basket weave stitch but without the BPDC. This is perfect!!!

[@Yarnhookneedles]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it!

[@ordeenduke8421]

Thank you for such a clear explanation of the stitche

[@gg-zz5zr]

Thank you so much for the tutorial it’s very easy to understand. I do have one question though I want to use two different colors when would you do the color change of yarn?

[@BeccaJay]

g g I’m wondering also...

[@Crystalorchids]

During the row of single crochet.

[@donnabracho6925]

Excellent. I totally get it now. Huge thanks

[@irismorio110]

I really enjoyed your teaching thank you can't wait to make Eagan this fall or winter. Looking forward to see more of your teaching video.

[@JazzyJude]

FAB tutorial! This clarifies what I did wrong. Thank you

[@pamelatomkinson1153]

Beautiful stitch so glad you made this adjustment for the curling issues. I tryed it as a border and it wasn't laying quite right. I will try again but if you or anyone has any suggestions for using this as the border for a blanket any advice would be appreciated

[@HoiYin78]

Wow thank you. Brilliant stitch

[@sandynorlock4056]

Thank you for sharing, that’s a beautiful stitch.

[@lindavanderwesthuizen7839]

I purchased the pattern on Etsy. Still waiting for the pattern and I am so disappointed as I needed it urgently.

[@RobinHB84]

Great tutorial. Can’t wait to start!

[@brendahamilton6491]

where would i place my stitch marker at end rows till i get going good? i’m doing a practice swatch before i start on the full size blanket?thank you for the great pattern i have purchased the full size

[@Yarnhookneedles]

You would want to place your stitch marker into the top CH 2 you do at the end of each row. This will help you make sure you're going into the last stitch. Hopefully that makes sense!

[@TheAlabardios]

The best tutorial I've seen on this stitch! Thanks!

[@jennifermiano9026]

Could I use a heavier yarn, or two strands at once and a larger hook so it is a heavier blanket when complete (and grows faster!), or does the definition depend on the weight of the yarn and size of the hook?

[@HrafnNordhri]

Thanks for this. The blanket shown on your blog involves a color change. Would you be changing color at the end of the SC row? Also, are you splitting the work evenly in 3 and chancing color on the 29/30 row? EDIT: And right after posting this.. I read my answer on the blog :)

[@Yarnhookneedles]

Yay!

[@cldymond83]

FYI, if you start with a US dc foundation stitch instead of chaining and working US dc back into the chain, multiple count is any even count, plus one stitch. Happy Crocheting!

[@zulmahornfeld7825]

thank you for the vidio. I just started a blanket but is curling, is the curling staying to the end of the blanket?

[@Yarnhookneedles]

You’ll just need to block the blanket once you’re done and you should have any more issues! ☺️

[@joshuareece8730]

Hi Yarnhookneedles - I've just purchased your pattern and you state to change the colour every 7 and 10 rows but this will produce thin stripes of colour as compared to the picture which is quite chunky stripes. Am I making a silly error here? Love the video and the pattern though they are super easy to follow! :)

[@englady]

Very good tutorial thank you, could this be done in 8 ply ?.

[@laurelgirard8475]

You can do any stitch with any yarn or hook. You just have to adjust your pattern. I believe that it would be a size smaller with 8 ply. You would need a larger hook to balance it out. I’m pretty sure that’s how you’d do it. If someone more experienced with changing hook sizes and yarn weight could comment here it’d be appreciated. I’ve been crocheting 45+ years but have only been found sweaters and things that need adjustments, etc. Thank you.

[@crazygamerchickcrazy-g-c7569]

This reminds me of the waffle stitch but the front posts don't line up with this pattern..... Such a simple pattern. I've just subscribed to your channel.

[@Yarnhookneedles]

Yay!

[@nakaluleelizabeth6116]

Hi, can I use this stitch using super chunky yarn

[@LifeofKriswithVSG]

So when I do this you can see open this like do you know how you have years laying on the table at 1339 on mine I can see the table through my work on yours you can’t I don’t know what I’m doing wrong?

[@djappave]

How much wool I need for a baby blanket thanks ,I love your tutorial.

[@Yarnhookneedles]

If you follow the link in the description box it will take you to the blog posts that has all of those details! ☺️

[@ashleythomas5094]

Can this be made with Bernat Blanket Yarn? And does the back of this blanket end up looking weird with this stitch?

[@mckeesusan1958]

Does this stitch take a lot of wool? Anyways you are an amazing crocheter!!!!

[@meba444]

My trees keep ending up slanted! Do you have any advice? It always starts on row 4 (the second row where you're doing the repeat) 😭😭

[@lahirko1961]

Love how this looks! The texture is awesome!

[@brendahamilton6491]

hello i just purchased the pattern on etsy but i don’t see a border and not understand the twin size instructions where can i go for help please?

[@Yarnhookneedles]

Hi! I didn’t create a border for this particular design. But you can easily add a single crochet border around the edge. As far as the sizing, the throw and twin size are exactly the same. The reason for this is because the throw size is very subjective and I figured a twin size would be large enough to cover and fit the needs of most people.

[@brendahamilton6491]

@@Yarnhookneedles thank you so much i can’t wait to start the pattern making a blanket for my daughter

To begin with the chain should it be even or odd number of chain stitches 18:45

[@katyfeinstein9940]

Yes

[@arianaterrazas]

If I use a 6.oo hook will it come out ok..

[@Rumozamonien]

It's a nice stitch, but unfortunately still curls up considerably and has edges that skew. Don't think I can finish this blanket :(
