Making Scrap Yarn Blankets ! Swirl Blanket, Granny Square Blanket | Scrap Yarn Projects

[@AndrogynousFatale]

When I started crochet, I assumed that granny squares would be the easiest thing to make, but one week in I’ve made three scarves, two key chains, two tapestries, and one crop top. Granny squares are harder than I thought they’d be. Same with making a flat, 2D, circle.

What’s really helped me with hand pain when doing yarn work is wearing compression gloves (And a wrist brace on my dominant hand when crocheting because the asymmetry really messed with my joints), taking regular breaks every 40 min at least and stretching for about 5 min during each break!

[@CaughtBetweenPages]

Oop ok I didn’t get far enough into the vid to see you got gloves! I’m really glad they helped ♥️

[@kaiiimee]

Finallyyyyyy, the gloves!!! You go girl! Take care of yourself queen ☆

[@gabSnack]

My day just got so much better!!!☺

[@ikoxun]

you're so sweet 😭

[@e.scrochet]

get the arthritis gloves for your hands and if you can just take a couple days off, coz for me when I don't take enough break I have shooting pain up my entire arm.

WAKE UP OUR QUEEN POSTED❤️

Your random comment about weighted blanket from various squares gave me another idea - you can make just two squares and put inside some fillers or some heavy fabric or like cut an old warm blanket, and sew it inside two squares, then make a lot of those and you will get kinda quilted puffy weighted blanket.

I swear ikoxun always gives me the biggest inspiration for my crocheting

[@MissCassieCrochets]

I never thought of a spiral blanket! You always give us the inspiration and ideas we need!

[@CRIMSONarteries]

Babel is one of my "tattoo" books. One of my all time favorites. Cried my eyes out.

[@rusted_ursa]

I don't usually make suggestions right as the video has started, but I just discovered crocodile stitch and I can't remember you using it, so I wanna give it a shoutout. Anyways, I'm joining you on a stash-busting quest. Beautiful blankets! I have some leftover light and dark purple yarn that I might use to copy that spiral idea.

[@maryeckles482]

I’m so happy the compression gloves helped!

[@siracornful]

Sometimes your hands just can't knit and crochet for as long for a bit. Either your arms cramp, your fingers feel weak or a certain spot gets too sensitive for yarn to touch. It's important to work a little less during these times and your body will recover. Or work slower. Unrelated but when you showed those green and brown balls to the camera my brain just went "wait??? Is Ikoxun a tiny person or are those just giant yarnballs?"

[@Yokopalu]

i actually really like the swirl color scheme! it looks like chocolate mint!

[@ep2848]

I like seeing the timelapse of planning the colors for the blanket c: i should probably plan out colors in my drawing app more often for projects

[@soyblessing]

I might make this with all the yarn I have left. I want to make new projects and buy new yarn, but wanted to get rid of my current supply. Literally starting tonight!

[@Lady_dromeda]

I found a pattern today that I might use for my scrap worsted weight yarns. Its got three granny squares in the middle, some rounds of double crochet around that and then a border of granny squares around that. Feels like a good “make over time” blanket” i dont buy new yarns often so i dont have much scraps

[@sandaramoore9660]

I really love both of your blankets!!! Stay safe and be blessed ❤🤗🧶

[@godslittlestidiot2984]

One thing i do for breaks regularly is throw on an album and when its over or 2-3 songs from being over i stretch for 2-3 songs / up to around 15min! Doing that feels way more natural than having to pause because I hit a timer. Im sure if youre listening to a book you could see when its like 10 minutes left to a chapter and do the same

[@EverChasingFireflies0]

Ugh im absolutely obsessed with your room 😍 I have no idea how you have motivation to make granny squares that large, i give up after 7 rows usually

[@Bluemoon-7am]

Square blanket is beautiful

[@pennyconnell69]

Beautiful Blankets ! ❤ watching your videos !

[@Unplacedhuman]

[@haileymarie7866]

I loved making the star blanket! It goes on my couch lol

[@charlottecaywood1099]

Ahhhh now I gotta make one!!! 😍

[@hiu83d]

I loved your swirl blanket. It is like a mint chocolate swirl! 😋😁

[@KelliMariePy]

The swirl sweater reminds me of the chocolate mints in the UK. An acquired taste.

[@thriftshopmillionare]

crazy how I was just thinking to make one of those swirl ones!

[@Gabibell97]

I'm obsessed with the granny square blanket! 😄😍

[@tootification]

Just as i came back from school!!!! Yayyy

[@godslittlestidiot2984]

I love your videos! Ive been doing embroidery for years but just started to crochet and after seeing your green color challenge video i am determined to one day make a skirt ❤

[@tinalin7180]

The adrenaline rush I needed ❤❤❤

[@rachelhagen9176]

great job

[@emmmalovesrandymarsh]

you make me want to crochet more 😭😭😭❤

[@AnnalieseMeyburg]

This is so useful. Thank you!❤

[@Velvetkate1]

I had to stopped crocheting for a month once because I hurt my wrist trying to crochet Halloween plushies as fast as possible 🤦🏽‍♀️. But I do recommend doing gentle wrist and hand stretches before & after crocheting hopefully that’ll help with the pain. & take as many breaks as needed your health is always more important !

[@davidsalimi7720]

yes new vid

[@Jaylilo]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSS IM SO EXCITEDDDD

[@koallawangja]

3:27 I have the same issue sometimes, usually I find that the position I’m in just doesn’t work with me. Like crocheting or knitting while laying down hurts me, or sometimes you just find a position and it doesn’t work, as least that’s how it is for me, lol

[@amarahangelina]

i’ve been waiting for a blanket video!!! thank you Ikoxun 🥰 you’re so swag

[@carmenshelp9019]

I’m so early! EVERYBODY WAKE UP IKOXUN DROPPED A NEW VIDEO

[@ssickhyun]

for future blankets i think the aura blanket video might help with squaring a circle blanket, idk if that's how it's made but you can give it a try lol. lots of love for you ❤

[@KangaandtheFish]

9:52 i think it might be a warm brown and a cool green

[@lindasakseide282]

Hihi... You made a little "joke", involuntary I guess... You said that "the swirl is pretty straight forward" hihihi... Since the swirl swirls you know hehe... I love watching your videos, and you ALWAYS have the most amazing color combinations ❤

[@desadraws3564]

Usually if mine hurt I’ll also take a break and before I start back up I’ll massage my palms mainly by the thumb

[@altanshagaianu1810]

8sec❤ i love your videos

[@gracielacerdeira3102]

Muy lindos, me gustan las medidas😊

[@lyricwatson1824]

y'all, I can NOT do granny squares for the life of me. I've tried like 4-5 times (2 different types). So yesterday I tried tapestry, it wasn't exactly a fail but it wasn't clean cut. Any tips for either?
