Crochet Graphghan Blanket Pattern

[@2percent153]

New subscriber. I did my first graphghan when my son was around 5 years old. He's now 24 and we still have it. I'm just now finishing my second. I don't do too many large things because of the time. Glad I found your channel. 🥰

[@JaydaInStitches]

Welcome to our little woolly corner of the internet!

[@mzzkeely]

I've been hoping to find a crocheter like you! I've made exactly 3 dishcloths, and couldn't find a project I wanted to make until now. Thanks :)

[@JaydaInStitches]

+mzzkeely Nothing like a fun project to get excited over :) Thank you for watching!

[@fellasandfriends2914]

Thanks for the video. I wanted to try to crochet a video game themed blanket. This is a really good idea.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching!

[@magicmom123]

I am a crochet beginner and you inspired me to try this blanket out. I have learned how to make granny squares and other crochet techniques watching your videos. I have just finished my first blanket ever and it is Mario blanket. Thank you for wonderful unique ideas and your easy to follow instructions.

[@JaydaInStitches]

+magicmom123 That is AWESOME! Thank you so much for watching :)....did you ever think your first crocheted blanket would be a video game character? * giggle *

[@DEniseCHAVEZ7]

Totally awesome! I wish I could give you more that one 👍! I showed it to my 5 year old son and now he wants one. I'm going to start it this week! Thanks girl!

[@JaydaInStitches]

he he! Thank you for watching, Denise :)

[@kiki_pear3051]

I'm still a beginner but i am catching on pretty fast and this is just amazing !!! i want to try this really bad!! cuz i freaking love super mario!! probably can try to add like other characters on it around him !!! thank you so much for this tutorial!! i had watched others but i didn't understand a word they were saying again cuz I'm a beginner but you made it very clear in here!!! thank you so much!!!! for this !!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi kiki_pear! Welcome to the Crafty Family 😄 You can also make small granny squares too if you find that easier...you're right, this has SO MANY possibilities! I can't decide what to make next! 😊

[@ladylion1253]

I made my cousin a Minecraft Creeper blanket for his birthday last year and it was the one thing that he opened and had to be reminded that he had other presents to open. He was so excited.

[@JaydaInStitches]

+ladylion1253 That is awesome :) I love it when a homemade gift has that kind of success rate!!

[@monielovely88]

I'm going to make my cousin one she loves minecraft

[@abirdcalledcherry8286]

Love it

[@MissBeeHavenGoddess]

That warms the heart! Love it. I made my son a Creeper and although he liked it, he now wants a "Link" and a "Hello Neighbour!" afghan too. 😅

[@wolfbeam3915]

This gave me too many ideas! It's a wonderful and easy enough concept. Back when I was playing Animal Crossing Wild World I created my own map of the town - on graph paper. I sooo want to create a blanket/hanging of it some day!

[@JaydaInStitches]

THAT is a fantastic idea!

[@katelouise2103]

This is awesome and I love the way you present the videos - so cute and full of energy! Have subscribed to your channel, look forward to seeing more ideas and help in the crocheting world that i love so much :) thankyou!

[@Addi_055]

👏👏👏👏👏👏 I want to make the squares bigger do I can make a blanket for my brothers bday

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! You can use Granny Squares for this pattern too, either 1 or 2 rows, or even larger if you need!

[@tonihovatter7764]

I keep coming back to the idea of this... I did a goodle search under "pixel art" and they had some for minions (yay!!) and Olaf, as well as baby groot. So excited...

Thank you! I'm soooooooo excited to make this for my nephew!😆

[@JaydaInStitches]

+HappiMom These are so fun! I'm working on another one myself! :)

[@kathleenbarnett9157]

Hi Jayda. I’ve just spent 2 hours on google and Pinterest looking at images to crochet into blankets ! If there are large areas that are the same color would you ever combine the squares to make a much larger square where you can. I’m wondering if this would throw everything off when attaching them all.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kathleen, it could make things a little more complicated, and you might also lose the pixelated look (the individual squares give the design a balance)...Having said that, experimentation can be a lot of fun and you never know what sort of new look you might stumble across :)

[@Loralane75]

I finally finished mine!! A three year project. But I didn’t draw it out on graph paper, I just kept the image in my phone and kept referring to it there. Made with little granny squares. A 50th birthday present for my brother!!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Awesome! Thank you for watching 😊

[@lindasoehngen6015]

Hey Jayda, I was watching your video and my daughter ( the one i made the flower headband for) is sitting next to me. she looks at me and says OMG mom this lady is like your twin you guys acted the same. lol it made my night so I thought I would share it with you.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Linda! lol! Do people also tell you its like having 2 extra people around when you get "going"? I think I've heard the phrase "calm down" more often in my life than anything else!! lol

[@lindasoehngen6015]

Before I stopped drinking soda i was asked all the time. How much caffeine have you had to drink today. Now they all know that it was not the caffeine lol

[@Amberwood265]

Wonderful!!! My son's bedroom is Legend of Zelda inspired so I am definitely going to make Link! Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@JaydaInStitches]

+Heidi LeWren That is awesome! I'd love to see a picture of it when you get it finished :) We're big fans of Link in this house too!

Thanks Magda!

[@sarahahmed7711]

Thank u so much! This was very helpful. Can u do a video on c2c graph, I’ve gotten really good at c2c and I want to make a heart wall hanging for my grandmother🙂

[@beverlyevangerandteddy1769]

i just found this in your video list. i'm excited to watch it and make as my gr. son loves mario...... can i do this in closed grannys?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Bev, yes, you can most certainly do it in little tiny grannies, which make it easier to assemble. I am working on one right now that is single row grannies (very small) they work out to a little over an inch square :)

[@beverlyevangerandteddy1769]

i want to make my gr.son a mario blanket. do i do 3 rows or more? man, i love your channel.

[@angelathor7348]

how long did it take to make you this? This looks awesome though!

[@JaydaInStitches]

+Angela Thorsteinson Hi Angela! The squares themselves didn't take much time individually and I was pretty excited about this, so I worked at it for most of a weekend and had it all together. I put the border on a few days later (which took about 1 evening) soooo altogether I'd say around 3 days!

[@angelathor7348]

+Jayda InStitches Cool! it's taking me longer because of school, but it's coming on nicely! i'll send a pic. What media can i send it with?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Google+ is great (you can tag me in it and I'll be sure to see it) or Instagram or Pinterst, I'm @ JaydaInStitches on all three :)

[@gisorozcocruz]

Can i use a thicker yarn ?? I want a suuper fluffy blanket :3 and what about the size of the hook? Thank u so much!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Of course you can :) If you're using a size 5 yarn (considered chunky) then a size 7.00mm hook would be a good place to start:) Experimenting is always the most fun!

[@MissBeeHavenGoddess]

Is it possible to crochet this in DC rows instead of squares? If so, could you do a video (PRETTY PRETTY) please Jayda? Love your tutes, especially the geeky ones. 😀

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Daisy, anything's possible! Thank you for the suggestion :)

[@MissBeeHavenGoddess]

Jayda InStitches my 3 year old loves Mario but I'm so over crocheting squares but would enjoy DC in rows with colour changes where needed. It's something I haven't done so I'm very nervous to "have a go". LOL Thank you for responding. 😀

[@amandah4834]

@@MissBeeHavenGoddesshi I was wondering if you made one of these using rows instead of squares I was thinking of doing the it the same way and hoped it had worked for you ? Amanda 🤔

[@HexeHazel]

​@amandah4834 Yes, I worked out the size of the granny square I would do then worked out how many DC in each square to complete each row with colour changes needed as your rows progress. Hope that helps. Good luck.

[@queentutt1959]

i loved this video. thank you so much!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching!

[@valeriegarner1220]

this is great what if I want to make a very smaller picture? like small for the end of a scarf? never used graph paper so not sure if they make the square bigger

[@JaydaInStitches]

+valerieval The squares on the graph paper just represent the individual square you make - which can be any size you choose. If you're trying to make something tiny for the end of a scarf you might have better luck doing crochet cross stitch... haven't covered that in a tutorial yet, but it's best for making pixelated pictures in very small spaces :)

[@hudsongaming9885]

Im trying to make a minion one ive drawn it just got to do all my granny squares now thats for showing me how to do it ive made my son a little blanket that you showed me how to do its eay now thankyou so much i like all the things you make need to show us how to do letters now xx

you are soon awesome...I love watching your videos!!!

[@kirstyjane8987]

Hi jayda, I'm considering making a graphgan with some marvel designs I found, they have already been turned to 8 bit which makes things easier for me being a beginner lol, I'm trying to figure out the size for a double bed or bigger here in the uk and your formula seems to confuse me every time I try, I would very much appreciate any help you can give me before I start because I don't want to start and get stuck

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kristy, we have a video that you might find helpful for that. You'll find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXTTgKVpfa2Ie6s You want to start with the length of the blanket you want to make (so top to bottom), then divide that measurement by the number of squares that run top to bottom in your 8 bit design. Round up to the nearest whole measurement (so if it's 24.7 cm, use 25 cm). Then you want to make a granny square (or a single crochet square like I did in this video) that fits as close as possible to that measurement. Then, just follow your graph and you're off! These are so much fun to make, I'm currently working on another one using tiny grannies myself :)

[@kirstyjane8987]

Jayda InStitches okay I'll give that a try thank you jayda

[@michellenorth6060]

[@lindamurray5503]

Jayda, can you tell me how big are your squares are in inches? I think I got a little confused, because my calculations say 5 inch squares.

[@JaydaInStitches]

HI Linda, my little square are all about 2" (or a little smaller) each. It depends on how big you intend to make your blanket though. Mine is a small wall hanging :)

[@kristanpettigrew-youngbloo1370]

did you find making the squares this way easier than granny squares? i have wanted to make something like this for a while, but sewing granny squares arent fun for me and take a long time. this looks great!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kristan! I've made blankets in both manners and really, it's going to be a lot of attaching however you look at it LOL. Aesthetically speaking, you have fewer spaces or 'gaps' using the sc square vs the mini granny squares so you get more of a solid image this way, which is why I like it. But you can check out my 2016 calendar blanket, I used mini granny squares for that and the overall look (while just a pixilated blast of colour) was really nice and I don't feel that you notice the spaces too much. You can find the finished blanket here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5e3m3-Np7Gnhas (there's a nice long pan of the whole blanket near the end)

Are you going to shows how to make Mario pixel blanket so we no how many squares to do to make it up xx thanks Wendy xx 😘

[@JaydaInStitches]

HI Wendy, you want to make the graph up like we did, then you can use either tiny granny square or the little single crochet squares like we did, then lay them all out and stitch them together :)

[@wendymaddock7705]

Jayda InStitches thanks 🙏 for replying I just wondered if you could do a tutorial on it it looks so great thanks Wendy xx uk 🇬🇧 xx 😘

[@jakejrmsp8028]

I'm still a beginner and I was wondering what would you recommend that would be good for a first project?

[@JaydaInStitches]

snowy Aj Oooh! Well I can recommend two right off the bat - the basic Granny Square (try out my tutorial here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZCYn3ymjcxrha8) OR, if you want something a little smaller, you can practice your single crochet with a dishcloth here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYipemCJZ7x_jZY. Both of these tutorials will allow you to create simple squares and if you wanted to make something like my Super Mario Blanket, you can use either of these as a start! Plus, they get you comfortable using the single crochet stitch and the double crochet stitch (as well as slip knots, chains and slip stitches) and you'll be able to elaborate on your new techniques and branch off into simple little toys soon too :) Good luck and have fun!

[@marieluna8310]

So did u do the bigger version :P ? Ill be doing a MArvin the MArtian like this for my sister in laws birthday in november :D

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for the suggestion Sherrilynn!

[@craftygrammarocksinjaxfla4208]

How do you connect them together? Jayda

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! I sewed them together using the whip stitch (nothing fancy) 😊

[@RWRB64]

I'd love to make a Creeper blanket for my son's upcoming birthday. I'm a bit unsure how this works. How would I know how big to draw it on the graph paper? I understand the equation, assuming you add squares for around the character. Just not certain how to determine how big to draw it (or any character) on the graph paper. Did I miss that in your video?

[@JaydaInStitches]

+Barbara Greer Hi Barbara, I copied a pixelated image from the internet onto graph paper so I could count how many squares I needed of each colour. From there I did the math to figure out how big to make them (based on the overall dimensions I wanted for my little wall hanging). I recommended the 8 or 16 bit images because they use the fewest squares to create a recognizable image. Minecraft translates really well into this format :) Have fun!

[@aliasjtenecade4655]

Quick question Jayda. What color yarn did you use for his face and hands?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Tene Cade Hi Tene! I had this light peach colour kicking around the craft room. It was a ball someone had given me and it had no label when I got it. I think the original NES Mario skin-tone was a little more orange than peach, but I liked the way the light peach colour looked with the rest of the chosen colours :)

[@aliasjtenecade4655]

Thanks!! I found some beige/khaki colored yarn in one of my supply bags. Hopefully it turns out ok.

[@phoenixthompson5486]

How did you sew them together. I'm in the process of making a panda for my mom for her birthday coming up and I have this fear of the yarn I use to sew it together being seen as a flaw in the picture I have watched your granny square joining video would the whip stitch show through

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Phoenix, I used the whip stitch for this blanket. I used the same yarn colour as the blocks I was sewing together. If the blocks were two different colours, I simply made sure the sewing yarn was at least the same colour as one of the blocks. It doesn't show if you keep your stitches small and tight :)

[@leigh3818]

Jayda, thank you for the video! Quick question though...how do I sew two different colored squares together without the colors showing?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi LeighAnna, I talked a little bit about this in the tutorial, I just chose one of the two colours and used that to sew when pairing two squares of different colours. The stitches don't really show :)

[@leigh3818]

Thank you! The first time I watched this video I had the volume turned down low as my son was sleeping in my lap.

[@stylynrylyn6608]

How much bigger do I need to make each square for a blanket size

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! It depends on the number of squares you will need for the image you are going to create. We made a video on figuring out the math behind this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXTTgKVpfa2Ie6s

[@rickilieberman2136]

I left you a message and you answered it, but when I opened my iPod I couldn't find your answer. I asked if you could teach the c2c stitch! You are the best teacher and I want to learn this! Where do I find your answer? Do I just go back to this graphghan video that I was watching and left you another message! Please consider this tutorial for us! Ricki Lieberman

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Ricki, you might also get email notifications so you can check your in box 😊

[@hugettewatson2789]

Jayda can it be done in Tunisian simply stitch, or do you have a graphs in Tunisian stitch please

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Hugette, you can certainly make the little squares using the Tunisian stitch instead of regular single crochet stitch :)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@mayd3973]

Jayda! You just made my brain explode in a completely amazing way.... I just got hit with the inspiration stick haha, so thank you!! I'm wondering if you have a tutorial I can't find about single crocheting around the corners for the borders... I can go back and forth "dishcloth style", if you will, but can't figure out how to get it to turn without warping... Also, one more question... If my work keeps rolling at the edges am I using too much tension or is there another mistake I am making?! Thanks so much.. Haha, I've just spent three hours with your videos! X.x lol!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi May D! My goal is to warp the grey matter of crafty folks everywhere... lol!! firstly, my single crochet dishcloth tutorial does explain single crocheting around the outside of your work better than I can explain it here. ..BUT you only have to do that for the border on the whole finished work, not the mini squares. Second, if your little squares are rolling at the edges thats because you're awesome and your tension is likely computer perfect! If you look closely at the piles of little squares in my video, you'll notice that they're all curling at the edges too. When you sew them all together, lay them out all right sides up, but alternate them bottom row up, bottom row down. This will keep the warping balanced and then non-existent when the border is on. What image did you use? 😊

[@CydPiper]

Hey Jayda. I know this is an older video but would it be possible to make this into an actual follow along Tutorial in the new year after we are done with our 2017 calendar blankets? TIA X

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Cynthia, thank you for the suggestion!

[@samearley6235]

How many squares down and across should it be for a good size blanket?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Samantha Earley Hi again! It depends on how large you make the squares. You could, for example, use the same pattern I did for Mario, but make all the individual squares as granny squares and make them all about 6 inches square, then add a nice border to the whole thing when you have it make and that would definitely be a BIG blanket!! You can take the measurements of a blanket size you like, then divide the length by the number of squares high and the width by the number of squares wide and that will give you a rough idea of how big to make your individual squares :) (p.s. i love math, can't you tell? LOL)

[@samearley6235]

Thank you so much btw I love your channel

[@JaydaInStitches]

No problem Samantha! And thank you SO MUCH for watching :)

[@donnahaney9595]

Could this be done using the granny square stitch??

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Donna, absolutely! I'm working on a small wall hanging right now, using squares that are one row of the granny square each (they're quite small!). Easy squares and it makes putting them together easy too :)

[@tonihovatter7764]

Try Google Images: search "Pixel Butterfly" and see if anything pops up that you like. You could also try Perler Beads Butterfly or Graph Butterfly....I'm certain there must be something out there that's relatively simple and would lend itself to a blanket design :)

[@gamingwithhealedcaboose6441]

Hi Jayda! This is awesome! I'm currently making a red vs blue one :D I'm joining as I go and I was wondering which method you used to stitch the squares together? I started using the single crochet method (along the right side) and it's got a slight Ridge (thankfully not too obvious) and was wondering how to make it look more "seamless"?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! I usually sew all my squares together (if I'm not using the join as you go method) I find it takes up less yarn, doesn't leave a ridge and you can sort of hide your little stitches if your yarn colours don't match completely :)

[@gamingwithhealedcaboose6441]

Jayda InStitches thank you so much!

[@sarahbarton4977]

Is there a video on how you join the squares together please try

[@JaydaInStitches]

Sarah Barton Hi Sarah, I explain in the video how I put them together, they're just sewn together in strips using the same coloured yarn - for a more in depth video on joining squares you can check out my joining granny squares (the method of sewing is the same :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ-9o59qi9iZn5o&lc=z12etno42trgyzu2w235vrsyxvy2xpquj

[@satorni1432]

so how do you know what hook to use... did you just use a 5.5 or could you had used something else... because I'm trying to make something that requires my squares to be 7cm but I'm not sure what size I should use

[@JaydaInStitches]

+satorni1432 Technically, you can use any hook size (as long as it works nicely with the yarn you chose) you can just change up how many stitches/rows you put into each square. Best thing to do is experiment. Make 1 square and then measure it. If it's too big, remove some stitches/rows, if it's too small, increase your stitches/rows. Have fun! :)

Lucky cousin! Are you going with Mario or another one? 😊

[@carolscrochet2687]

Jayda InStitches I'm thinking a one up mushroom. I found a graph for it :) but I might make me Mario because he rocks!

[@KJC4321]

hi - can you show a video on how you joined it ? or do you have one posted ?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi again Carla! The "How to Join Your Granny Squares" details how you can sew your squares together. Try to use yarn that matches at least ONE of the coloured blocks and I recommend sewing it rather than crocheting them together because typically you want a flat look here. I've linked that tutorial in the comment box :) Thanks!

[@lolitaanastasio6479]

I need know if you have pattern of a airplane or were I can get one? Thank you.

[@monielovely88]

you can make that bigger with granny squares :-)

[@JaydaInStitches]

+Monica J. Totally! I've seen some amazing ones on Pinterest :)

[@bfvargas8]

awsome thanks!

[@aleushadrake3704]

since I'm no good with granny squares I'm gonna try it with little Tunisian squares?

[@JaydaInStitches]

+aleusha drake That should work just fine! I made these little squares using the single crochet technique, but I'm currently making another using small grannies. I have a granny square tutorial you mind find helpful if you want to give grannies another go :) You can find a link to it in the description box above :)

[@strawb3rry62691]

You should make another video using this method

[@rosie01ism]

You are amazing

[@DEniseCHAVEZ7]

I want to make my son a throw size blanket. How big should my squares be?

[@JaydaInStitches]

You can use this tutorial here to figure that out :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXTTgKVpfa2Ie6s

[@chrissyfaircloth5906]

Might of over looked this,but what's the link to your Pinterest? Ty

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Chrissy, just look for Jayda InStitches on pinterest :)

[@chrissyfaircloth5906]

Thank you so much!

[@OGSHADOWSTAR]

What color yarns are they? thanks.

[@JaydaInStitches]

+OGSHADOWSTAR Most of it is Red Heart Super Saver, I used a bright blue (like a cobolt), bright red, black, white and light brown but the 'flesh' tone was a little trick, I just happened to have an old ball of it lying around, without a label. I would recommend printing off a picture in colour (or just having it on your phone) and head off to the yarn store and compare the skeins to your picture and make decisions there. You might like the way some colours look with each other once you have them all in your hands :)

[@OGSHADOWSTAR]

+Jayda InStitches thank you. i m using blue suede i vot to make minion stuff and my hubby picked the skintone one for me. im still making the squares. cant wait till its done. thanks for this. you should do a princess peach! thanks again.

[@JaydaInStitches]

I love Princess Peach! I couldn't decide which bit version of her to do LOL

[@OGSHADOWSTAR]

+Jayda InStitches i was look at them after i saw this video and that one is a tough one. her 8 bit is not as cute as mario. :( i want to try raccoon mario. did you see the video of the man twho made a map? took him 6 years. yikes!

[@wisalali8309]

could you provide me the link gets me reach the different patterns images or different els

[@biankapaloma]

OMG it looks great. I want to make it for a pillow. I guess I just have to decrease the square size.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Yes! you can also use a smaller hook and thin yarn and that will help make things smaller too :)

[@biankapaloma]

+Jayda InStitches ok, thanks a lot.

[@angiregan8718]

How do yo crochet them all together?….

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Angi, I sewed them together, uses less yarn and you can hide the stitching 😊

[@Oniimanju]

I have a question if i decide to do it in single crochet how do i do the squares? I just make the squares if the size i want then i sew em together? :/

[@JaydaInStitches]

+Niidara You have to do a little reverse math (figure out how big you want the finished blanket, and divide it by the number of squares down one side), but you could also make a square a size you like and then work them all the same size and just let the finished blanket size end up being whatever it ends up being! I have a basic tutorial on single crochet (in which you make a dishcloth, but that's a square!), and it's linked in the description box for this tutorial :) For the little squares I made here, I recommend 5 or 6 stitches by 5 or 6 rows :)

[@Oniimanju]

Jayda InStitches thx a lot!! Ill watch the tutorial and ill follow the rows u just told me. Thx again : and btw nice vids :3

[@joannash106]

hiI was wondering if you would have a crochet pattern for a batman blanket

[@JaydaInStitches]

+joan nash Hi Joan, I haven't done one myself, but you could use this concept and select a simple batman pixel image (use google it in google images). The batman symbol would make a neat blanket image too!

[@ashesmith6124]

Can you make a link using the same method?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Ashe, you can use any picture in graph form for this sort of project :)

[@ashesmith6124]

Awesome! Thank you!!

[@humbleharvest4324]

So how many squares of each color did you use?

[@JaydaInStitches]

If you're following a graph, just count up the like-coloured squares row by row so you know how many you need. I think I used more white than anything else!
