How To Crochet This BEAUTIFUL Blanket, Step by Step Tutorial!

[@feliciahumphrey8603]

I’m smitten with this pattern!! I chose my yarn colors today and made it to row 6 so far by switching between the written directions I purchased from your Etsy shop and this video 😂 I love this pattern because the first one I learned was a shell pattern blanket so this feels familiar and is simple to follow with beautiful results! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous pattern!

I have about 18” of my own similar blanket done so far.. but using just the rows of plain block stitches . I am alternating various shades of blues and muted greens ( “Ocean “ colors) . And I am making ming plenty big enough for a double bed size . With 6 “ overlap on all sides. I plan to also put a nice 3” flat border all around . Works up quickly and doesn’t seem to be working up into an overly heavy fabric.. I an enjoying it and have 79 block rows to go! Maybe I’ll be finished by Winter starting! A couple of crochet tips I use- i use a safety pin or bobby pin as a stitch marker .. and I also keep a large container of corn starch baby powder on hand to use on my hands and hook as needed to help things slide easily! I love the lavender scent…

These colors are so gorgeous! I love your tutorials so much! As a newbie to crochet, your channel is one of my favorites. Your color choices and instructions make learning new patterns fun and they feel so much more doable than just reading instructions filled with abbreviations that feel like trying to decipher a different language. Thank you for your tutorials and beautiful projects!

when using the knot, finish the last stitch then pop a stitch marker through the yarn at that point - that's where the knot should be tightened once you rip the stitch out, to get the colour change where you want it

Oh my goodness Dani, this is STUNNING! I will need to check out the cloud blanket, and some more of your videos. I haven't been doing crochet in about a year, and haven't done any knitting in many years, so it would be nice to get back into it again. Thank you for all of your hard work and for your kindness! Fawn 🩷

This is absolutely beautiful!!

[@CJDesignblog]

Thank you!!

[@larainewoodruff3739]

I do the same magic knot join method now and love it. Weaving in ends makes me crazy. This is a beautiful pattern. Love your work and tutorials.

[@CJDesignblog]

Wonderful! I'm glad you liked the method, it is my fav as well, never weaving in ends unless necessarily haha

[@liliasawyer7145]

Thank you, this is gorgeous and I already know who will get it❤

[@CJDesignblog]

Yay! Thank you!

[@gildacordeiro2328]

Wonderful blanket. Congratulations. Will replicate someday. Greetings from Portugal.

I saw a nice yarn store downtown Lisbon over a year ago.I took a pix but I don't remember the name but it was near a famous square downtown.

[@JessieBenson93]

Eee so beautiful, I've been really looking forward to this one! Now just to choose which colours....x x

[@LindseyFeagins]

Hi! If we are making a larger blanket than this one, would we just restart the pattern after a row 103?

[@conniemiller4693]

Love your work ❤

[@CJDesignblog]

Thank you so much 😀

[@LauraK308]

I love this pattern, it works up beautifully, but I am having difficulty with setup row 4 and repeat row 9 and keeping the stitch count. After completing row 8, I have 48 spaces between the clusters. So row 9 = 48 spaces x 3 sts in each space = 144 sts. Add the 2 sts at each end and you get 148 not 149. I have checked and double checked that the stitch count in all previous rows is 149. But every row 9, I end up with 148. I've just been adding a 2nd DC in the last space before DC into the last stitch to get 149. Is there something I am missing, or is the pattern math not correct? I am marking my 2nd chain and all other rows are working fine. It's just row 9 where the count is off.

Hello! I have a question about the picot border. When you're making it you tell us to single crochet back into the same stitch, but when you demonstrate it it looks like you're single crocheting into the next stitch. Could you clarify that? This is such a lovely blanket and stitch pattern, thank you so much for sharing it with us. 😍

[@CJDesignblog]

It might look like I’m crocheting into the next stitch but I’m not :) both single crochet go into the same stitch 😊

[@stephaniecaza9636]

Stunning 😍😍

[@CJDesignblog]

Thank you! 😊

[@rosamcbride7705]

Gorgeous

[@barbaramcmahon3956]

Beautiful blanket.

[@CJDesignblog]

Thank you! 😊

[@flamingpixi5667]

Would this look ok if I used only a yarn that changed color on its own? And if so how many skeins would I need? I want to do it this way but I can't afford that much yarn 😢

[@AshleeMcStoots]

Could I use a different kind of yarn? I bought the loops and thread brand. It’s the chenille home slim polyester. I know there’s a difference in the size but I was wondering if it would still turn out roght

[@corry000]

I’m on row six and somehow ended up with 155 stitches. Looks like I’m adding one every row. How do I salvage this? 😢 do I frog it back and start over?

[@summerrayne42]

This blanket is so pretty! Can I make it in a size 6 weighted yarn?

[@CJDesignblog]

You sure can! The super bulky version is coming out in 2 weeks, but if you can’t wait you can totally use this pattern for it 😊

[@SackinaGoulbourne]

How many yarns she have. And did she get them and the crochet hook from amazon.

[@GrahamCracker81]

So I think this is stunning, I have a question. I picked 8 colors. The reason being is that I matched the colors of my friends pup that passed away. And this dog loved the river so much and she would just lay on the riverbed neck deep and would just lay there. She loved the river. I think this would be perfect as a gift for her. But how can I incorporate all 8 colors? I am not that experienced. Thank you in advance. ❤

[@jessicabernal5798]

Instead of going back to the 1st color after the 5th, just continue with all 8 colors before starting over again!

[@JessieBenson93]

Does anyone know of a good wool alternative for this in the UK? I can't seem to find the Lion Brand Wool Ease in the same weight as the tutorial

[@jilltunnicliffe4227]

Hi, any Aran weight yarn would work, worsted in the USA is more or less the same as Aran in UK. James C Brett, Stylecraft, King Cole etc. all are available at Wool Warehouse 😊

[@Muunbeau]

Wats the multiple, to make it ur own size

[@Honeybee-Hedgehog-Designs]

Do you sell it as a kit with the pattern printed ?

[@CJDesignblog]

You can find the kit on the Lionbrand.com website! In my shop you can only get the digital file.

[@enamuniz8008]

❤

[@daniellealexus]

You said you need a double crochet in each chain. I’m confused. Did you mean the stitches?

[@jessicapierce4925]

@The Crochet Crowd is this a Movie on Netflix???

[@SackinaGoulbourne]

I don't know which yarn is color A, color B, color C and color D. Wait is there color E.

[@SackinaGoulbourne]

Did she say 152 chains.

[@lilashephard8225]

Yes

[@mzladyt61]

I keep losing stitches....

[@CJDesignblog]

Use stitch markers at the beginning and the end of the row to make sure you’re not losing stitches

[@mollymoore2256]

Beginner here, I love this blanket but would rather not join colors every row, I like sewing in ends better can you do a sample block and show how to finish rows and change colors by cutting and adding colors with the idea of sewing in ends
