Super precise and to the point! Thank you so much! I’m going to make a sage and blue blanket!

[@Simplegirl1.2.3.1]

That is going to be a BEAUTIFUL blanket

[@claireis_slay22]

This way is so creative!!! I’ve never seen anyone make one of these types of blankets with normal straight yarn. For me, I just use loop yarn because I find it easier. :D

[@Jangwon33]

Can you make a short slower video shoeing how to make a slip knot

[@Gallant-nc1if]

That seems simple😮

[@user-um4gh5mf2b]

Nice ❤❤

[@user-tu4zl6ng5d]

Nice! Just wondering if it matters how many stitches to start with, an odd or even amount?

[@mortsterwallace2788]

Doesn't matter! I don't count mine and I've never had a problem. I just make the first chain a bit smaller than what I want the blanket to end up as, and just wing it the whole time. As you're always using a previous loop to make a new one, it doesn't matter. Or for the end, you use your new loop and an old one, and since you always have an old loop and your new one, odd or even does not matter. I'd highly recommend making these blankets!

[@YourlocalZara]

@@mortsterwallace2788 THANK UUUU I just started crocheting and it was DIFFERENT all the tutorials so I decided to chain then start to knit then start to change colors while doing my project and that’s how I learnt how to crochet so I just make small plushies but today I’m getting my dream yarn and it’s similar to this tutorial one and I rlly want to make a blanket so this rlly helps

How do you incorporate more yarn once you reach the end but haven’t finished the blanket yet

[@B.Christine_W222]

You can burn the ends together of the new yarn and old yarn or tie them together

[@wvp07]

Overlap the start of the skein with the end by 5-6 inches and continue weaving. Do not tie it in a knot. ::edit:: uhhh, I feel like this is common knowledge but, FTLOG, please do not burn it either.

[@nonagone9570]

@@wvp07 why not tie or burn it?

[@khadijaaboo9184]

Can a crochet hook be used .To avoid stitches being pulled away inadvertently

[@mortsterwallace2788]

It could, but you'd have to pull the hook out on every loop (which will save your fingers from cramping, I just did 5 balls in 24 hours and my thumb is killing me because of the way I hold it). But don't worrying about the loops coming loose, they're easy so save if they do, as long as you pay attention. My first 2 blankets were very loose loops, and now that I've gotten the hang of it, I can keep them very tight and I can always save the loops that "fall out".

[@Kaori-ng8km]

I lam trying to learn to do this they need to make it slower for me cause I am slow learner.

[@ellaconnor1757]

Looks great! How much yarn do you need?

[@macx6215]

I'm no expert but I've made two of these before, I've used 5-6 skeins of yarn but it really just depends on how big you want it. There's a lot of good diagrams online showing size = skeins amounts :)

[@WanSyazlina]

How big was ur blanket in inches? ​@@macx6215

[@audettep]

What the sigma

[@audettep]

O la la

[@kaseypostel7942]

Waaay too fast for a how to video

[@tigerlilygirl6662]

It would be nice if you didn't speed thru not all of us learn at super speed

[@armitamehdipour]

That's crocheting not knitting.😢😅

[@mortsterwallace2788]

Actually it's knitting as you don't complete each individual loop before creating a new one. Crocheting is 1 loop at a time, and you have to finish the loop before making a new one. Knitting has many open loops that you "close" at the end of each row as you make your new row of "open" loops.

[@alexandreamartinez2489]

Make it more clear😖

[@sassysara88]

How many balls on average do you need?

[@alexandreamartinez2489]

It gets on my nerves

[@alexandreamartinez2489]

And go slower
