Very well explained, and shown!!....I can’t tell you the number of blankets I get excited to make, see the directions, buy the yarn....then when I get ready to begin, I realize there’s crucial information left out for beginning and ends of a row. You did such a great job showing beginning and ends, I am going to begin this blanket pattern right away!! I also appreciate you showing how to join a new ball! That was excellent information! You’ve made my day!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!...you’re a born teacher!

[@CutesyCrafts]

Oh, thank you so much! Your comment made me tear up a little (maybe quarantine is getting to me? 😆 ). I love teaching people how to do new things, and I'm so glad I was able to help.

[@Diane_McDon]

Same!

[@kaemance8733]

Clear directions for a newby like me. I am making my second loop blanket (several mistakes in my first) for my first grandchild, and this one is absolutely beautiful! Thanks to Jessica for helping me make a beautiful blanket which I am proud to give and for him to use.

[@annfoehner4240]

This blanket is so cute. Do you have a pattern for the stitches for each row? And I love the border you put on it. Great video I have some loop yarn to use up and was considering making a baby blanket.

[@candyjaeger6176]

Love your video, step by step directions is just what I needed .. Was perfect for my first attempt!! Thanks so much!!

[@silvanaribeiro8168]

Thank you! - Silvana

[@sharongaskins4831]

Thank you for the step-by-step instructions. Made my first loop yarn baby blanket in 6 hrs. yesterday and another one today. I love working with the loop yarn it would have taken me at least 2 weeks working with a crochet needle.

[@jojosbigsis]

Made one....starting another!! Great video...very clear instructions! THANK YOU!

[@itsmelaurenx]

This was the best tutorial I’ve seen so far! Thank you so much!!!!

[@shahdsaffarini460]

Thank you so much for this amazing full detailed tutorial 🙏🏻 I followed your instructions to make two unique newborn blankets, and they were fascinating. THANK YOU🌹

[@srbumblediva]

Thank you! Very well explained! The border is simple and beautiful.

[@user-do3zo5sr5u]

Thank you for your very thorough and easy to understand video! I just completed my first loop yarn baby blanket - I am hooked! Can you tell me how to add a braided border to the bottom row of the blanket so it would match the other 3 sides? Thank you!

[@shiranhonigmetsuyanim97]

If I want to have a longer blanket, 40*60 for example, how do I calculate the number of skeins I need? thanks :)

[@cherylguardino4030]

Thank you you make it look so easy. Gonna try making one.

[@reneaosborn7063]

Beautiful blanket! I’m wondering if there is a way to chain st the bottom edge ( first row) of the blanket so it will match the top edge? Thank you, Renea. I love your work

[@CutesyCrafts]

Oh yeah, that's a great idea! I think you should be able to do that. Just chain it together and then come back with the loops through the chain. Some math and experimenting would probably need to be done. Haha!

[@alisayurgelas6183]

Thank you so much for making this tutorial! It really helped me to make a blanket for my grandfather’s birthday. I’ve also tried your another version of making a blanket which I absolutely enjoyed, but baby blanket is way cuter! Again big thanks❤️

[@dianechicklo7961]

Came out beautifully but had some loops break or not made. But the colors are so brittle hoping they will not see the flaws.

[@deebubzy21]

How many rows total was this blanket? I want to alternate between five different colors and am wondering how many rows each color should take up.

[@danielkeenen4502]

You are so easy to follow can you do this with the loop showing thanks pam

[@darlenerenshaw5565]

Omg this is so beautiful

[@violetwhitnah1622]

This is so exciting I can’t hardly wait to one for my expected granddaughter.

[@helenmaysonet627]

Hi this is my first time doing this.

[@cherylrichardson7898]

Thanks for the video! My blanket is done but I have a few loops that I missed. How do I tie them in?

[@gurlgamer05]

This is so awesome. I can’t wait to make my first blanket.

[@annfoehner4240]

I loved how well you explained everything and demonstrated it as well. I have a couple skeins of loopy yarn but am going to save it for something else. What I want to know is do you do regular finger knitting with blanket yarn? Can you make the same boarder with regular blanket yarn? and is it still 50 stitches? Do you have any video's on using the regular blanket yarn? Thanks for sharing. When making the boarder you have 50 stitches the 2 stitches on each end are part of the 50? correct you don't add any more?

[@CutesyCrafts]

I wish I could answer, but I don't have much experience with other yarn. I've done a bit of simple crochet, but that's it.

[@annfoehner4240]

@@CutesyCrafts I decided to make a baby blanket out of baby yarn from Hobby Lobby. I casted on about 48 stitches, I did your pattern that you did on the loopy blanket and it seems to work out pretty well. I just wish on the loopy yarn you could have a different edge like you do for casting off. but I did try it with blanket yarn and it did okay.

[@michelleirigoyen4681]

Do you have any videos showing how to make change the yarn to a new color? With your new end technique?

[@CutesyCrafts]

Oh I haven't thought of that. I can't think of a way to do that without having both colors going at once.

[@SherylKatz]

Lovely!! Would you consider creating some projects using a knitting loom? A baby set would be so great!! There are no baby bibs shown for loom knitting. Maybe even a layette to go with a baby blanket or stroller blanket etc. I do hope you will consider this request you are awesone and clear and if you can do loom knitting we all benefit from you showing some projects 🤞🤞🧶♥️

[@CutesyCrafts]

Thank you!!! I'll add it to my list of things to try, but I'm not making any promises. Haha!

[@valeriecooper532]

I accidentally bought the alize small loop fine yarn instead of the large loop what is the best stitch to use to make a throw....the loops seem small for the twisted stitch I wanted to use.

[@Iceland874]

What yarn and color are you using? I really like the color.

[@dianeshelor3894]

Do you have a tutorial for the chunky yarn without the loops?

[@katiefoster1382]

Will this border method keep the edges from curling in on themselves?

[@vixen200008]

Need to figure out how to cast on with a crochet stitch then it will look the same on the bottom

[@CutesyCrafts]

Ooh, I don't know what that means, but I'll have to look it up.

[@sandimiller5187]

Very nice! What if you have to walk away or continue the project later? Do you run a string or something thru the top loops so not to have them come apart?

[@jordannfirst1203]

Is there machine to do blankets by loopy yarn

[@tammyginn4313]

Can you alternate skeins of loop yarn with regular big blanket yarn? And how?

[@CutesyCrafts]

I don't know, sorry. I only know how to use loop yarn.

[@tammyginn4313]

Thank you for replying back. I think I am officially addicted to finger crocheting. My car is full of loopy and big blanket yarn and I have more on the way. I just can't get enough. Thank you for your very easy to follow videos!

[@CutesyCrafts]

@@tammyginn4313How fun! So glad the videos are helpful! :)

[@johnawrzosek6127]

I saw a pattern for a baby hat.Where Can I get that pattern?

[@SpunOfLight]

I love your style of baby blanket so much that it inspired me to make a baby blanket for my best friend who just announced her pregnancy. I have a question though. Due to gender neutral colors because we don't know yet, the colors I'm using are mint and cream. I plan on alternating colors every three to five rows. Would the loop overlap work with two different colors or would you recommend your method in the first video?

[@CutesyCrafts]

Use the loop overlap method. That way the strings don't come loose everywhere.

[@patriciajennings7918]

Is there a pattern available yet

[@sa90tami7]

🌷🌷🌷

[@karendaniel8901]

Love this!

[@lucynichols7703]

where can a written pattern be gotten. Can't take computer everywhere.

[@megan_7578]

Do you have to do a pearl stitch because I’m already on row 5. I thought you were doing a knit stitch on the whole thing.
