It would have been really great to see you pick up finished blanket and just show it what’s so hard about it?I know why,because you didn’t make it right and the part you do show is just kind of ok looking I can do better I’m sure

[@P00py8UTT]

@@Pattys1967 it would be really great if you had anything else to do than be miserable in the comments on KZbin. You can see her step by step making the blanket and she clearly explains how she does it. You can get the idea of how the finished product would look off of what she worked on in the video, also nothing hand made will be perfect. I don’t understand the reason for such a nasty comment. Yes it would be nice if she would hold the blanket up when she’s finished but honestly how many other tutorials do? Very few that I’ve seen. If you can do better please do I will subscribe and will be waiting for your upload! LOL you’re a nasty rotten patty

Awe your comment is so touching and familiar. I found a love for this craft bc of my late Mom. I too found hers and seeing some of her unfinished products (she passed unexpectedly)... Made me want to help make her a more proud of me and probably presently surprised that I took a quick and quite fun new hobby🥲. May God bless you and yours THIS Mother's Day & ALWAYS... I hope you'll forever keep your Mom's honor, spirit and life alive and well within your own creative sprinkling of sunshine upon your home and others'. ☀️💕🙏

[@azby7933]

Maggie, You need to show the finished blanket at the end for AT LEAST 20 seconds (on bed, on sofa, around shoulders etc) so we can appreciate and feel satisfaction - we did it with you! Many viewers will never make this in reality (I won't) but we've made it virtually so we NEED to see finished product for longer. Thank you 😌

Hi! I recently was gifted some normal size 4 yarn by a friend who needed to move back home and I don’t have a crochet hook. I was looking on Pinterest for hand crocheting patterns but I don’t really understand the written patterns so I searched for it here and found you. Although I was only using size 4 yarn, and I didn’t double up or anything, watching this video made it SUPER easy to follow along because your movements were so much bigger than mine. I did a 15x16 square and think I’m going to try using it as a wash cloth for my kids in the bath or something. Obviously it will be easier to crochet when I’ve bought a hook but I’m pretty proud of what I’ve done by following this video. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for this. I first learned to crochet when I was in middle school buy never went anywhere with it beyond turning a skein of yarn into a ball of single chains. I wanted to fo more buy never learned. After watching this video I have successfully made a blanket out of the barnet extra blanket yarn which is super soft and fuzzy. My kids all fight over it so I now need to make 3 more. I also plan on making a blanket for a friend to give her as a wedding gift along with a cute crochet bag after watching your other video. I am so happy and pleased that I was able to make something. I now have a hobby. I finally have a hobby. Thank you so much!!!

[@lucyroark4189]

Thank you for being so straightforward and clear with directions. Unfortunately the first time I made the blanket was a couple of months after I'd watched the video (big mistake!). The one I made for my husband had loads of problems. I had a fair amount of yarn left and decided to try again, so I rewatched your video and immediately saw why my first attempt went wrong. The second blanket looks amazingly better. Whew! I've now subscribed to your channel and expect you'll show beginners like me even more do-able projects. (BTW, I'll be 72 in a few weeks and want you to know your kindness and encouragement reach people of all ages - thanks again.🤗)

Getting my yarns out now and keeping this video by my side lol. Now I'll try THIS first bc the arm knitting one appears that I'm gonna need to call the fire department to help me unravel MYSELF before I cut my circulation off and there's a chance they'd think I tried to fake my own kidnapping bc THAT would MY luck one day whenever I'm a master finger knitter, I'll be sure to try the arm knitting. I'll be sure to invite a friend over to learn with me so we're able to save each other and set ourselves free if need be. I love your channel and if you can teach a simple way to make a crochet hand bag the same way and/or a tank or swimsuit cover up to match the bag that would be awesome. Been wanting a crochet bag for a while but rather make it than buy it. Thanks AGAIN for your great and easy to follow steps. I'm so thrilled I found your channel.

Well, 6 hours in I was only done with 2 sets of skeins when I noticed the sides moving inward. 😫😫 I pulled it apart and restarted 5-6 different times and then finally started getting the hang of it, lol... After 7 hours, I put it away to give my back a break and will start back up today and hopefully finish it. I can’t wait because I’m making it in fall colors using the Lion Brand WE T&Q colors in Fisherman, Spice & Mustard. It’s gorgeous, thick and heavy already!

Hello friend.... How are you doing?

[@tonyasymonds638]

I have to say: knots will unravel! My first big crochet blanket was a granny square and as tight as those knots were they did come out after washing. If you're tempted to knot, then at least weave in ends a little as well. And don't clip right at the edge of the knot. I'd hate for anyone else to feel the despair I did. So glad I saw this though. I know of arm and finger knitting but had never considered finger crochet. This might just be perfect for my Gramma whose hands can't comfortably grip a hook anymore. I'm hoping this clear easy video she can follow along when I'm not there to work on it with her.

[@cazcann4188]

I have had to modify the way I do the reef knot as it can slip out, whereas a granny knot shouldn’t come undone. You could add an extra twist perhaps to the second half of the reef knot to make it stay better, but I also like to have some ends to weave in as I go.

[@jerryleroy9187]

After I do my weaving and knots, I also put a couple of knots in the working yarn right after the initial knot. That way if it wants to unravel it has a hard time getting through the initial knot. Like making beads in the yarn so to speak. I leave it hang about an inch or so and call it my signature yarn tail. LOL. I have never had anything unravel after I started doing this. Good luck and take care. Happy crocheting everyone!

I’ve watched so my videos in learning to crochet and done couple items. I have one I started making a blanket but when I came back in working on it I forgot what kind of stitch it was😭. Now it just sits in my drawer. Your video makes it so easy.. I can’t wait to try this. Hopefully it’ll work. TY🥰

[@deenieamara6339]

I just discovered your videos Maggie. I just started back into crocheting. I love this hand crochet technique! Can’t wait to do my first blanket this way.

[@chrystellebiotteau3385]

Bonjour ! How wonderful ! Now I want to do it as well , ! Thank you Maggie, you are inspiring and Soo gifted 🥰

[@alesiamurray7509]

I tried it and made a mini blanket for my dad with the finger crochet. I enjoyed it so much. I dabble with crochet but was my first time with finger crochet. Thank you

[@karasaunty9823]

Ohmigoodness! Thanks to your clear instructions, I - an absolute screaming novice with the intellect of an amoeba and the attention span of spoon - made a huge tricolour blanket. You. Are. Fab. Many thanks!

[@misspeach3755]

This was the best tutorial I've seen so far. Easy to follow, inspiring - you made me lose my fear of crocheting, and I now want to make a rug. Thank you! :)

[@SimplyMaggieblog]

So glad you enjoyed!❤️

[@FasterThanLina]

thank you for the tutorial!! you’re helping me make blankets for christmas this year and it was super quick and easy to do it thanks to your instructions. ive been coming back to the vid every so often to make sure i’m on track and i have it saved 😊

[@sophiadean2849]

Hey! I want to make a hand knot blanket for my mamaw on Christmas. I don’t know what yarn to get or how much. What do you think I should get? Something as cheap as possible.

[@leatricematthews583]

New subscriber here! I'm so glad I found this tutorial. Thank you so much for making it and sharing it with us. You take the time to explain everything and demonstrate several times. I really do appreciate this. I've always wanted to learn to crochet. At 56 years old I think I can do this!

[@britzel71]

I appreciate how you explained this slowly and showed each step. That the camera is filming what you're doing so we can see the 'whole' project and yoyr hands. It's frustrating trying to learn when they fly through and or they are in and out of the shot. Great video

[@JuleeChristensen]

Your channel just showed up in my recommended list. I've had surgery on my arm and trying to get dexterity back. Hand knitting and crocheting seems to be helping. Can't wait to give this a try. Wonder if using two stands, you could do shell stitches or others so it wouldn't be as lacy.... 🤔 Thank you.

[@SimplyMaggieblog]

Julee Christensen that’s so great! And yes, if using less strands you could fit more on your fingers to create different stitches! I’ll have more videos on this soon.

[@lesliev7874]

I'm going to show this to my 11 year grand daughter.

[@mlewis8579]

me too! Wonder if we could do this with just two yarns, would be less bulky on my grand daughter's hand.

[@arinc6284]

Girl it’s midnight and I just spent 50$ on yarn😂

[@holdmeimscary]

Lmao lmao I can relate so hard

[@sarahrose7212]

I spent more. Accidentally made my blanket huge and have now used over $70 worth of yarn and I still have half left to go!

[@zambizambini]

I'm bout to do the same !! Yasssss 🙌😍

[@larissafae2135]

[@nicholesmith2883]

Lol... I love it

[@kae5717]

I learned to crochet with finger-crochet earlier this year and ended up switching to hook after a while because it was just impossible to do finger fast enough for something Big. I'm glad I found this video! It's a great excuse to pick up finger crochet properly again. I bet I could do something fantastic with this pattern and three different colors!

[@lisarico469]

Great idea, 3 colors sounds beautiful!

[@maribelh8935]

Thank you for showing me how to make a blanket. I just finished making my first blanket following your instructions and it came out amazing. I’m going to give it to my friend for her baby shower. Thank you!

[@christypoos9728]

This looks so fun. Cant wait to try it. Crochet hooks hurts my hands because of Arthritis. This I think will be alot easier for me.

[@uzmaakbar4497]

I have same problem arthritis. Maybe i do this.

[@heiroot]

I'd love to to hear an update

[@oliviab8929]

Very awesome idea!!! Never thought about it , using fingers 😍

[@bonniekornfeld6662]

Very nice understandable instructions. Would love to see you hold your piece up at the end. Can’t wait to try this. Won’t name the decade but in the 6th grade “everyone” had to learn to crochet. The boys were “what?!” 😆 Some surprised themselves & started to enjoy it. I remember the basics and want to try with my fingers on a bulkier yarn. Thank you!

[@cheriealecia830]

You are such a fantastic teacher! It takes a lot for me to actually understand and work along with someone but I’m doing it! Thank you!

[@jacquelinecimaglia5725]

I love this. I haven't crocheted for several years. I would have liked to see the product finished laid on a bed or the floor or something.

[@SimplyMaggieblog]

There’s a picture of it on a chair at the end 👍🏻

[@KKBoomer57]

It's scrumptious! I hope to teach my granddaughter when she's a little older.💖

[@rosetrivette634]

@@SimplyMaggieblog I saw the picture but it doesn't tell me very much. It would be helpful to see it on a bed.

[@SimplyMaggieblog]

rose trivette it’s pictured on a large chair. Measurements are 59” by 37”. You can use another blanket with similar size for reference.

[@amaliattidiya8896]

i love how you explained every tiny detail and confusing areas....... i tried to learn knitting by myself and gave up cos i was confused..... thanks to you im gonna start again......

[@SimplyMaggieblog]

Amali Attidiya yay!

[@tjolley7423]

Excellent teaching! Slow, up close, and repeated several times! Very well done! Thank you, can’t wait to make for my babe ❤️

[@lisawemple4707]

Great tutorial! Im so glad I could reference this, because I was “ Doing it Wrong”…and I finally saw the light! A couple things, it will take much longer than an hour, if you have achy joints in your hands, this will give you a hard time. I am taking my time, My grandmother taught me how to knit, but I only learned the basic, knit and pearl… I can do these without looking! And know I can say I can do a basic finger crochet without looking too!

[@nuvoclassic]

My grandmother taught me to knit & PURL, too - and also to crochet. I prefer crochet - easier to fix mistakes....

[@kimberlyannforster3554]

I wish you had shown the blanket completed. I can't wait to try this!

[@kimberlyannforster3554]

I just realized it"s in the beginning of the video lol

[@SimplyMaggieblog]

[@sparklegirl2669]

This video was a LIFESAVER!! Thank you!! I used this tutorial instead of the other ones to make a chunky knit blanket because I just could not understand the other tutorials. There were WAY TOO MANY loops to keep track of. The instructions were super clear thank you so much!
