Thank you for the backwards stitch idea! It gives the blanket character and I love that! I can’t wait to try it myself.

[@TeddieBeary]

A little tip is to count the number of loops you have every so often or every time you finish a row to make sure you didn’t miss a loop/stitch! I used to crochet and counting my stitches every other row helped me😊

[@MoonStone_Empress]

The few I managed to find are either confusing or skip past incorporating the new color. Now that I've seen it done, I suppose it seems obvious to the people who have been doing it for a long time. Until about 15 minutes ago, I was by intimidated by doing this. Now I'm ready to go.

I really appreciate your honesty about various yarns you have worked with that are in your other vids too. I also like that you don't use a glaring white background too - LOL. Most of other channels don't tell you how certain yarns shed or are not easy to use or work with, etc., etc. thank you!!

[@miangel5721]

I absolutely enjoyed watching this. I have arthritis so I had to be creative with how I did this. For me to keep the shape of the blanket consistent... I took apart a tension rod and used the two sides to hold the loops in place along with a #25 crochet hook to pull the working yarn through. Made this a lot easier for me to manage the process. It took a little longer to complete but I am satisfied with the finished product.

[@sandrarogers3896]

How ingenious!! I thought of using something like place markers, but will try ur way!! I like ur idea!

[@tracybain7692]

Luv it!! A couple months ago, I went racing thru the clearance aisle at Walmart and got really lucky. There were 6 skeins marked down to $2.50 each. 😳 🤔 I had no idea what I was going to make, I only seen pretty red and cheap yarn. I'll admit it, I'm a yarn hoarder and grabbed all 6. You so inspired me to get my red chunky yarn out and make this throw. 😏 😁

[@diggerollocady1]

I tried this and HOLY COW IT WAS EASY! I love how you went at a pace I could follow and explained what you were doing, why you were doing it, and most of all, the material information(where you got it, about how much it cost, stretchiness, etc!) THANKS SO MUCH! Super fun project!

[@irenepetrou3027]

Today I went and bought wool today to start crocheting. I bought 4 x huge chunky balls of wool, because I loved the colour and texture. On the paper wrapping, it states "for arm and broomstick knitting" -I was totally confused. Came home, googled and your video caught my eye. First one I watched, LOVED your technique. Completed the blanket in a matter of 3 hours. If it were not for your detailed video, I would not have done this. Can;t wait for my next challenge. Thank you for being an amazing instructor/teacher :-)

[@IamROYALTY_]

Thank u.. I actually was sooo inspired by your video. I went and bought my yarn. It was very easy to do. Unfortunately I made my loops to big and i missed some loops as well. But overall I love my very first project. Next time I will make smaller loops and closing it off was very frustrating but I think I pulled it off just fine for a beginner

[@19Celia57]

TY so much for putting this video up! A few days ago my grandson's girlfriend texted me asking if I could make her a blanket like this. I watched a few YTs and I must say that yours was hands-down the best! Your genuine sweetness shows through in your voice. Have a good one, sweetie. ♥

[@diannewest8469]

I choose your video to try my first chunky blanket. There is a craft store in my area giving classes for $85 including the yarn. This was better. I wasn't brave enough to try the change in direction. It took me around 3 hours. I am thinking not too bad for the first time doing anything like this. Thank you for your instructions.

[@rukiddnreally]

Beautifully done!! I’ve made a dozen or so of these and wanted to see if there was a different/easier way… I LOVED your biz partner’s idea of changing the stitch up to make it lay flat. To do this, i just flipped the blanket over so my hand crochet movement was still the same. I just made a baby blanket watching your video for my friend’s baby shower today!!! 💙🙏🏼 Have a wonderful weekend, and thank you for sharing!

You are truly a blessing sent by the gods, I've been trying for days to get it right but your video really helped my understanding it. Thank you so much 💞🥰

[@debbieharris1628]

Thank you for making this super detailed instruction video. I had 2 pounds of wool shag that I tried to crochet (fringe made it impossible to see stitches) then arm knit (too loose) into a rug. I'd almost given up on this shag when I found your video around 8:35 pm. By 9:15pm I got the first 3 rows done and now I'm finished roughly 2 hours later. This is perfect and it's all thanks to your how-to guide! Side note: because the yarn is so thick and an acrylic it's more likely to come out in the wash if you just weave in the ends; I'd suggest stitching the ends into place after weaving in about 2 inches. ❤

[@jpal1080]

Thanks so much! I recently made my first two throws but your instructions were so much clearer & definitely love the idea to change the stitch. Your throw was beautiful! Thanks again!🙏❤️

[@naomilopez8595]

I love how down to earth you are! You’re relatable and I don’t feel like I’m watching someone who is way too advanced for me to follow. I’m following your “change up pattern” technique right now and it’s coming out lovely! I made a giant blanket for my queen sized bed using the Bernat Blanket Big yarn which was WAY more expensive and it definitely could have come out better since some of my stitches came out much larger than others. I noticed the length wasn’t the same so I tried to compensate for it and ended up with much larger stitches in some parts and my toes definitely go through the blanket in those areas. My tip (as someone who is literally only doing this for the second time ever) is to each those stitch sizes. You’re right about not being able to measure each stitch if you’re making a big blanket but maybe use a different way to measure like using your hand. The buckling and curling at the ends is an issue but I’m hoping this time it’s better. Thanks for the video and hope you and the family are safe during these times!
