🔥 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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnq1iqqhoK6Sars
*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-stitch-conversions

The blanket is adorable! Somehow missed this notification 😕. I used the flower granny in a bag! It's beautiful ❤! Thank you.

[@marilyngrayCraftandcrotchet]

I'm going to make this 🙌

[@lindajeanhouse6443]

I am loving this MAL! I am using black, white and bright pink. Twi of my granddaughters are arguing over who gets to put it on their bed. I guess i am making more than one. Maybe ill make one for each of my 7 grandchildren but change the color pop for each of them.

[@HookedbyRobin]

That is a wonderful idea Linda!🥰🧶

[@kathywelch8722]

This is a cute granny square, the tiny squares turning into a bigger square. The join is very pretty too. You are so clear with your instructions, very easy to follow. Thank you for sharing this. 🧶💜🙏🏻

Absolutely Beautiful Robin, I love it 😍

Robin You’re a terrific teacher . I’ve never seen this method of a Grammy square. Great Job

[@HookedbyRobin]

Aw thank you so much! 🥰🧶

[@adventureswithcorrine]

Super cute! I am getting started on these for the CAL blanket today. I might make the final round in the alternate color to make the center squares pop a bit more - or even in a third color! Thanks for the tutorial, Robin. You're the best!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Ooh a 3rd colour! YES! 😍

[@natashah.7840]

I'm having so much fun making the festival blanket! As usual, excellent video instructions 👌🏾 I really like the look of a 3rd colour border.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you Natasha, I’m so glad you are enjoying it!😃🙌

[@LucilleOneal-vk7be]

If we are following the Festive Pic "n" Mix CAL, I'm guessing we stop before the last round (single crochet round) I love this square, but then I love many squares in this blanket 🤩🌈☮🌼🙂💖

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yes - if you're doing the Tight Join As You Go then hang fire on the last round until you're ready 😀 x

[@davidrennie]

I'm excited to try this one out... I do think I'm going to do a third color for the final two rounds though. I can see your Coral/White looking stunning with a dark gray or charcoal black to set off the lighter colors.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Oooooh definitely!🙌🧶

I’m loving the variety of squares for this project!! How long did it take you adjust the final round of each to make sure they all came out a similar size?

[@HookedbyRobin]

Lots of trial and error! 😅 I have so many squares with the wrong stitch count / too big / too small hanging around my office - probably enough for another blanket haha!

Could you please provide a chain count instead of a miracle ring? Due to a badly healed broken finger i can not do a miracle ring. Thanks.❤

How do you join the squares together after single crochet border is done

I find that joining way you are using interested

What size hook are you using

[@HookedbyRobin]

A 6mm hook but use the recommended hook size on your chosen yarn ball.😃🧶

[@rogerskimberlyg444]

What if you don't use or don't want to use the magic ring because it's not for everyone?

[@HookedbyRobin]

You can switch it for any starting method you prefer :)
