🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on KZbin yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re welcome Angie!😃🧶

[@TiffaniShontelle]

Mrs. Robin back at it again with another artsy banger 🤗 I LOVE THIS! Simple yet it snags your attention. IMO, strikingly beautiful and for some reason, it doesn’t look like a yarn eater pattern!!!! What I mean by that is it probably won’t take balls upon balls (or skeins however you prefer to say lol) to work up a project. *Adds to list of new stitches*!! Thank you so much for the lesson ❤🎉

[@TheCatlady63]

[@teresavalenti1647]

Beautiful stitch. Think it would also look great as a rectangle shawl. BTW I was wondering if you can do a video on how to make a little poncho for a toddler. My granddaughter’s birthday is next month and she will be 3 yrs old. I would love to make her a little poncho. I seen one made of just 4 granny squares sewn together but they are always adult size. I thought how cute it would be in a toddler size.

[@D9P323]

This is so beautiful, could you make a hat or cowl with it, how would that be accomplished?

[@hayleyhills3208]

Hi Robin, this is such a lovely stitch and so well explained. Sometimes I watch a tutorial and think “I can’t possibly do that” but you always explain it so well that I feel I can actually do it! I really like the colour of your yarn, it has a nice sheen and gives the stitch definition. Which yarn are you using please? 😊

[@CraftyLurex]

Aww what happened to your beautiful ring? Lovely video as always by the way. Much love!

Not excessively but it will always use a little more yarn than a plain stitch pattern 😀🧶
