How To Take Apart Yarn Cakes to Design Your Own Color Gradients

[@kaylab1157]

This is very timely since I'm making a baby blanket with 2 cakes but wanted a different order of the colors

[@RavenStealstheNight]

Mind blown... Gosh, can you imagine all of the colour gradients one could come up with? This really puts one in control of truly creating a personal piece. Usually we're limited to the colours presented. Thanks for all the good info. So glad I watched this.

I'm so glad I found your tutorial! There was a fingering gradient from an overseas brand with colors I really loved together. Now I can make my own fingering cake! Wow!

[@beverlyvankavelaar6687]

Thank you for sharing this video! I am in love with this yarn. I bought random skeins of it and just went to town crocheting a blanket and it is beautiful in all the random colors, each skein seems to compliment each other.I tried to make a cardigan the same way, not so nice! So now I know how to make a piece of beautiful clothing with this yarn thanks to you.

I love this plan because a lot of times I don’t like the abrupt color change especially in knitting I’m more of a crochet person person. And a new knitter 😊 I will try this

[@makedocrew1717]

Yes, I know what you mean! I like how this allows it to change colors more gradually, or at least give you a little more control over when it happens!

[@margaretgrubb-eg7zl]

I agree the scale is so helpful

[@J17music]

Thanks for sharing! The video was so detailed and helpful. I had never seen the mathematical side of crocheting! I’m a lover of both :-)

[@thingsretiredpeopledo3060]

What an awesome idea - many thanks! I love how you can map it all out beforehand.

[@makedocrew1717]

Yes, the planning stage is exciting! Happy Crocheting!

[@kathleenchamp3764]

Super Duper Awesome Info~ THANKS BUNCHS🤗😄 I'm not able to spend as I'd like but I'll be figuring out a plan to get the PDF ur talking about. Hoping sooner than later. I'd love a cardi that's the right fit for me.. thicker & taller. I hope the pattern is easy to make for y'all & a bit larger. Thanks again!

[@dizzyk54]

Thanks so much! I've never thought of using a kitchen scale. This is very helpful for all kinds of projects! Definitely going to make this pattern for nieces bday!! .....vicki

[@kerstinrolf3944]

I m really fascinated to your video and the idea with the yarn cakes.👍🏻😀 I love all the yarn cakes from lion brand. I’m from Germany and sometimes it is difficult to buy this cakes. Thanks for this wonderful video.

[@makedocrew1717]

Thank you, Kerstin! Yarn cakes are so fun, huh? I hope you can find some good yarn in Germany!

[@sweetmelisamakesmore5344]

I noticed you got a few thumbs down. I follow you on a few different social media accounts, you are so nice. Your video does not deserve a thumbs down. I'm sorry people are so mean. You are so talented. Your designs are so awesome. I get so excited every time I see you've come out with a new pattern or in this case made a video tutorial for an older one. Thank you so much for making these videos. I love seeing them. They help me so much. Keep them coming!😀🌺🌈

[@makedocrew1717]

Hi Melisa! Thank you so much for your sweet words, they really brightened my day! I am so happy to hear that you love the designs and videos. Thank you for your support, and Happy Crocheting!

[@mickywaters4106]

Loving this and decided to give it a go with some Caron Cakes I have. Love this pattern too! I need tutorials through as I am a crochet newbie. This is such a great video thank you!

[@makedocrew1717]

Awesome! I bet it'll look so pretty when you're done. I'm glad the video tutorial helps!

[@melodyjwilloughby]

Thx so much for all of the great lessons in this video...

[@makedocrew1717]

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful for you.

[@RameyRocks]

[@dorothytoman3864]

i need to ask one more thing can i just use one color

[@dorothytoman3864]

Thank you

[@charlettecooper9457]

How about for those of us who are a knitter?

[@bobbi7052]

👍🏻🤗lovely tfs

[@jexikavindictive]

This is so patronizing.

[@morganvernie]

How so?

[@fahimehparvaneh3667]

دورد هنرمند کار خیلی خوب ولی خیلی حرف می زنی 😢😚

[@dorothytoman3864]

Can I just use the mandala just let it flow and not cutting the yarn

[@makedocrew1717]

Hi Dorothy! Yes, you certainly can do that. It will simply create a different look with the striping. It will still be beautiful, though! :)

[@lolaad5137]

Which size u wear plz S, m or L???

[@makedocrew1717]

I am wearing a size small in this :)

[@lolaad5137]

Make & Do Crew thnx

[@denissensantana]

I've separated like 40 mandala cakes 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@beverlyvankavelaar6687]

Your not alone!!!!!!!

[@sweetpeaak18]

You should actually do a tutorial on this actual sweater

[@marielittle690]

She said the pattern for the sweater is free on her blog.....

[@ElenaAshe]

Very pretty, but too much work for me.

[@bossebrittany]

Great video of how to deconstruct the mandala cakes, but this isn't a true gradient. It's basically just striping. A gradient will seamlessly fade from one color to the next without the sharp color changes.

[@stephenpisarcik5828]

Thank You Very Much! BRILLIANT plan & FABULOUS outcome! Love the yarn samples on your sheet to identify your plan. So much detail, but you guided us through the process in a gentle, easy approach. 🧶👏👍🤗 I will use this as a guide for combining my Sweet Roll & Sweet Roll Fruits. Appreciate your time & talent to map it out for us. 😉 🤡 Therese Pisarcik 🧶
