HOW TO FINGER CROCHET A JUMBO BLANKET

[@wanda9740]

I am riding in the truck with my husband and have been trying to hand knit a chunky blanket leaving loops at the top, my space is limited and moving it from side to side on the bed, I have dropped stitches and it looks tacky. I am not a knitter, i bought 13 skeins of Main Stay Chenille at Walmart and its beautiful teal color, an ivory and soft silver.... not on sale but 35 yards and so soft and cuddly. Since I do know how to crochet, I will start my next s,kein of the fancy teal color in single crochet and remake the entire thing. With little movement knitting it by hand, it can literally come apart with one wrong move! I appreciate your video and I know enough on my own to use all 13 skeins of Chenille yarn to make an awesome blanket/throw that's large enough for me and my husband! Thank you for the inspiration! ~ Wanda T

@@wanda9740 I know where you’re coming from on that. You have to find your rhythm. That’s when it starts to feel like it’s finally coming together

[@stefaniedeschenes7759]

I bought yarn exactly like this to make a blanket for a new momma. I never stopped to think that I didn't have a suitable hook. I'm so so so excited to have found this tutorial 🥰 thank you!!! Clear and lovely video, simply perfect!

[@pearlrichardson4179]

Thank you for this video. You are so soothing to listen to during the demonstration & easy to follow. I always see these type of blankets on design home or apartment websites or HGTV. I know how to needle crochet but doing it with the fingers takes it to a whole new level. I can't wait to try it.

[@sinafilifili5111]

Ithak God that I had a chance to find you channel on You on u tube to tell the truth this video made my day I use to crochet an knit but see you video I thank God cause wen I became sick nearly 5years now my left side is paralyze now holding a needle an the yarn is so difficult but I'm trying the hand crochet it's look easy so I thank you for this I praise God that I found you an your introduction cause hand craft is my kind of life from the bottom of my heart I thank you so so very much you brought my life back on have nice day an God bless

[@MrsShamrock1]

I tried "hand knitting" with this yarn, but as a crochetter, I just couldn't get it right. Your tutorial is very helpful! Thanks :)

[@BecBec1967]

Thank you for explaining the "loop" so simply, I'm a beginner, have hand/dexterity issues, can't use a hook due to lack of coordination in left hand. I'll try this, whenever I begin my project!

[@elessadore9293]

Thank you so much for this! I may or may not have made a whole queen size blanket after following your video! I also posted it on an adhd facebook craft group and have been sharing your link because it was SO helpful

[@dazzling_belgian]

Hello! If you can remember, how many yards of jumbo did you use for a blanket that size? Also how many chains? Thanks a lot:)

[@staceyharrison5925]

32 yards and 25 chain than add another to make 26 chains in all​@dazzling_belgian

[@PaulaJohnson-d6m]

I love how you clearly explain how to hand crochet. Can you share how to tie on the next roll of yarn please?

[@shawnlusarreta5885]

How do you add in new yarn and how did you finish the last row to “tie” off the yarn? Love this yarn and your blanket.

[@nooralaswad4615]

You can also tie in new yarn and hide the knot i the middile of the loop

[@jessicaemanuel7705]

You light it and put the two yarns together

[@astro.phells]

thank you so much! i have all this random yarn but never knew how to make a blanket and my mom's birthday is in a few days! this helped me a lot!

I suggest that1st-time users use a light-colored yarn. DO NOT USE BLACK!!!

[@lauraallen140]

Why?

[@Esha_A]

Laura Allen Black and other dark color yarns make it a bit difficult to count stitches/chains. For most beginners, this leads to mistakes like: space skipping, unnecessary increases, and uneven edges.

[@lauraallen140]

@@Esha_A Oh ok

[@nickeypiohmy1031]

Ieisha Andrews you are absolutely right!! I’m a beginner and I bought a darker colored yarn like a blue green color...I had a horrible time trying to see where the chains and stitches were lol

I would love to say I have watched so many of these beginner videos and you are PERFECT! so easy to follow. I want to say more but I’m not good with words or typing! Thank you again!

[@alyssafox9986]

How did you cast it off

i’ve tried so many tutorials and your worked for me! thank you so much

[@judeiz2203]

Do you ever work on a knitting loom?

[@carmengeheheheyrryrjejeutu9845]

How do you end it/tie it off?

[@heathercooke3210]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks. Have you tried doing a triple crochet or double crochet stitch to make a chunky blanket? Wondering if that would work out or not.

[@brookewashington3383]

My new favorite pattern when using big chunky yarn!! Thank you!!

[@stormh.784]

Yes! You did great job explaining it and I’ve been looking for one more close and less holy and this is literally perfect! ❤️

[@caseymiller7431]

This is the first video that I've found that explains it so clearly to me! I'm so excited to start tomorrow 🥰

[@chasityheppard1307]

How did you end the blanket? I made one with 10 rolls 😅 and im bout finished just dont know how to end it

[@xxswordplaysxx]

Are these types of blankets machine washable? or will it have the possiblity of falling apart?

[@Avaa_z4]

If you want some that don't fall of go to micheals

[@zayzay4969]

Love this so much helped me so much!! But only problem is my blanket keeps making a circle! Anyway to fix that?

[@AbbyAvon]

I ended up just using the one ball and turning it into a scarf as I was just trying to use up a single ball I had of this type yarn. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@kathrynnsteele7662]

Love the blanket. How do you launder it and how well does it hold up? Should it be dry cleaned?

[@sabellafaccio5682]

It honestly depends on the type or the brand of your yarn. Normally the way they can be cleaned is shown on the packaging.

[@jhal6802]

Very useful video, first time for me with Crochet and I didn't know how to do it. Thanks you ....

[@melodykimbrough-vu3qo]

Can you show how to finish the blanket

[@carieannasecondlife]

How do you bind off the end of the blanket though? Because I made a large blanket with these finger crochet stitches and I need to know how to finish the blanket off

[@capri102]

Very interesting, I'm going to try this technique.

[@zachareyabbott165]

Thank you so much for explaining this better than any other person could.

[@lm7488]

Thank you for the info. I was wondering if you could show how to bind off or end the last chain for closure. Thank you

[@siscarmichael2949]

Good video! You did a good job of explaining how to do this, but I have the same question....how do you tie it off?

[@Tnc874]

How do you end it and how do you add yarn like if you start using a new ball of yarn

[@lorrainecremin8971]

What was the final measurement with 2 balls please?

[@aliciablunt4857]

been following a lot of your videos recently. i love how you make really cute projects, true to your taste in style. they don't look clunky or outdated lol

[@DianaWcraftyDIY]

Also what size of blanket does one ball of yarn make so that I can determine how many I will need?

[@marooqi]

im worried crocheting dulls the mind because this is the 2nd tutorial on this where the creator either doesn't really want other people to learn how they do it or they leave out information that the audience wants to know to get started. They use white yarn with a white rug background with similar texture, they forget how it felt to be learning it for the first time, why make it more challenging than it has to be?

[@wowplanet961]

I've crochet with an elephant toy once. Its trunk was kind of bent so I used it to crochet... It was very funny to everyone around me. I didn't have any needles so I needed somethin!🌸

[@queenm.4310]

Can we use any yarn?

[@alexisstendalen9731]

How did you finish it… like how did you tie the end so it doesn’t fall apart

[@karlakfox8554]

Please show how to connect two ends together when you end one skein. Thnx

[@maddena977]

You tie them together and then cut off the excess tails close to the knot that you just made

[@sherryweaver2490]

Super easy instructions. Thank you

[@millieh353]

How do I connect the second ball of yarn to continue the blanket?

[@jenniferalpiner7974]

You are a perfect teacher!! Thank you!!!!

[@sisleidyssunolsunol89]

Good morning Dana B What size is that blanket and what amount of planting did you use to make it ? Thank you very much for sharing and it was beautiful .

[@cab6092]

How do you make the blanket to look more square? Is it just adjusting the loops?

[@colleenjacobs9466]

I've been crocheting for a number of years and am just getting into working with this size yarn. Most of my projects are using either a #1 fine or the crochet thread. I suspect this is going to be very bizarre at the beginning. Your explanation was amazing, it's the first one that popped up and frankly I don't think I'll need to look at any more. How easy are these to wash? I've seen the labels on the chunky ones that state hand wash cold-lay flat. I'm wondering how difficult that would be.

[@britbrat8159]

How do you add the second ball of yarn?

[@isaalonso2206]

Brittny Melendrez you tie the end of the first one with the second one

[@rosiesaunders3334]

[@brownieplayzthegamer]

all you do is cut the yarn with about 6 inches left do a chain and pull the access yarn and then don’t cut yet you want to tie a know then cut

[@aimeee316]

How would you add in a 2nd color if for example a grey and dark grey blanket?

[@Nina.ellis1220]

Can you please do another video showing how to add another thing of yarn, as well as how to do the last row & tie it off?

[@lil-redLeaf2621]

Would this still work for a mini baby blanket?? I only have one roll of this style yarn an couldn't afford another roll 😂

[@judeiz2203]

I really do love how beautiful this came out and your voice and instructions were easy to understand and informative. If I could make just 1 little suggestion for your upcoming videos, could you use a different color background from the project itself? It's difficult to see the project seeing as it's the same color as the background. New subscriber & finger crochet beginner 🧶🪡🧶

[@Jayariee]

What size was the blanket when one yarn was done?

[@debbiemcwhorter1998]

I recommend if you are going to demonstrate with light yarn darken your background color…for beginners.

[@joyflinchbaugh3916]

I need help! My first rows come out in a "u" shape! I have taken it out twice now and it keeps doing it. What am I doing wrong?

[@Ongslay]

Hi, how many yards did you use for this project?

[@huckle_berry5081]

I noticed that you didn't flip it for the 2nd row after the first chains . With my regular crochet, I usually flipped after my beginning chains. Maybe this was wring for me to do. But the way you did it looks so much nicer and easier. I just wanted to make sure that i understood ( saw) that correctly. Mine was so uneven and looked a mess when i flipped too soon. Make sense?

[@maddena977]

This is so crazy!!! I have been crocheting for a long time and this is so cool!!!!

[@Belindasdiys]

Great instruction 👍

[@whitneyhernandez8682]

I started making one for the first time. I think I did it too tight or wrong. I’m 144 yards in and my blanket is only 17x68. I wanted to make it wide. But the yarn is not going quite as far as I expected at this point

[@heidijaeger5400]

Can you use “normal” size yarn?

[@debbiefinch7445]

I don't know if i missed it, but you stated you would give the measurements of the 2 balls when you had finished but apart from seeing part of the finished 'blanket on screen i didn't hear you say the size? It would be good to know so people(well, me anyhow) could work out how many balls for different sizes. Can you maybe add this into your 'notes' bit please? xx

[@michaelomalley592]

I get all of mine at Michael's. They have a nice selection and I live by their Acrylic yarn which doesn't shrink of which makes it easy to clean and care for using cold water and a non-abrasive cleaner (I use Dawn Dish Soap) - DO NOT machine wash, always hand wash - wash with cold water only!

This is GREAT!! Thanks for sharing. However, if I may add, in my opinion it is a little difficult to see and closely pay attention since the yarn matches the background. Overall, great tutorial especially for me as a beginner. Thanks!! :-)

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

The slip stich uses too much yarn for the same dimensions. It is a smaller stick so you will have to crochet more rows. I would use single crochet for a similar look and faster completion.

@Marie Osborn I saw another video where the lady made a big chunky throw, she would hand sew the end of 1 skein to the beginning of a new one, not overlapping but sewing it so it looks like 1 giant looooooong yarn. Lisette Bencomo is the gal that did the video, her video is super simple and easy to understand...its a pink and white blanket.
