I have fallen in love. And with your Afghan and teaching. I was looking for afghan-blanket for my soon to be one year GREAT GRANDSON's birthday. This will be perfect. Thank you and BE BLESSED.

@@kellyreneeverydayhello, I hope you are having a blessed day. I have a question if I may? I have Ben crocheting for most of my 51 years of 59. Well a few ladies in the 55+ park want to learn it and I would be honored to know if I can use some of your videos for them to reference when they go home and want to continue by themselves? Do you have any videos for a beginner?

Susan Bates are my go-to!! Love them. Thx so much for taking time to watch and comment. I really appreciate it!

[@donnacurtis1344]

So very true. I started Susan Bates in 1969. I was in the 4th grade. My classmate taught me how to crochet. Woolworth was where, I bought my first hook.

[@terismith4512]

I use bates and clover the gold color

[@LyndaLesperance]

I like the lettered hooks, bates,of course!

[@kayfulmer2774]

I am on the opposite side in that Susan Bates hooks split my yarn something terrible. No matter the yarn. I learned on Boye and a few years ago I switched to Clover Soft Touch. So thankful we have different hooks available.

[@denisejames855]

Very clear instructions. Until now, I didn't realise the better or more expensive hooks, were better as they don't split the wool. I thought it was just a preference, more money to outlay, and that the cheaper hooks work just as well. I am more the wiser, thank you.

[@kellyreneeveryday]

I’m so glad you liked it. The Susan Bate’s hooks are what I like best and I feel for the extra dollar or two, it is with it. There still is a level of personal preference too…😊

[@Hippie_Chick_11]

​​@kellyreneeveryday I totally agree with you. My daughter brought one over and some yarn to teach me a new stitch. When I tried her Susan Bates crochet hook, I was stunned at how much better I liked it than mine of the same size. It handles like a charm. I just recently replaced all of my own Boye hooks out for the Susan Bates hooks! And the funny thing was that she didn't even know that she had a SB hook, nor where it came from! 😂 We all learn from each other ❤

[@jpmurphrc]

First time seeing site! Love the way you share how to make the afghan. You completely show how much you enjoy and love crocheting💕 thank you!

[@kellyreneeveryday]

This is so kind. Thank you!!

[@valeriekeith4408]

2:49 I have been making a similar striped afghan, changing colors every row. One side is lined up perfectly the other not so. Is there a way to manually decrease some of the beginning row edges to line up evenly with the others? I plan on putting an edge around the entire afghan.

[@epena2805]

@valeriekeith44081 Sounds like you are missing stitches somewhere along the row. Two hints: put a stitch marker in the first stitch & last stitch on each row. A short piece of scrap yarn will work. Count the stitches as you complete each row. Every row should always be the same number as you had after finishing your Single Crochet base row. I know, I know - it’s a real pain.! But I still do this with each new project until I am sure I have it down-pat and that’s 50++ years of crocheting. The stitch you are likely missing is the slip stitch as it is hard to see. Try working it a bit looser each time. Also, it is easier to remember that with each new row worked you will be putting a Half Double into the Slip stitch and a Slip Stitch into the Half Double on the row below. If you are having trouble seeing the Slip Stitch gently pull your work to the side - the Slip Stitch is the one with a tiny little V. Tilt your work toward you & you will see the sideways teardrop of the Slip Stitch. That is where you insert your hook to make the Half Double. If you are still having difficulty, search KZbin with the phrase “crochet Crunch Stitch” (that’s the more common name). My early projects came with a lot of frogging (rip it, rip it, rip it all out). I know you CAN do this.!!!

[@deborahthomas3539]

I finished the blanket, for my grandson, using the Up and Down stitch. It turned out great! For a 50x60 blanket, I used 5 skeins with just about 5 feet of yarn left. Perfect! I don’t mind saying I was impressed with myself! 😆 I have you to thank for that. I appreciate you sharing this stitch with us. I’m working on a basket to send the blanket in. My Monster will enjoy the blanket for years to come. 😊

[@kellyreneeveryday]

Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed making this blanket and you found my video helpful. It's a great blanket and our family loves it to!

[@jillmarkel6314]

I only use Susan Bates because it grabs and holds the yarn better and doesn't slip off

[@jillmarkel6314]

Do you think I could use this stitch for a temperature blanket??

[@deborahthomas3539]

⁠​⁠@@kellyreneeverydayI decided to make my granddaughter’s blanket with the same stitch. This time I decided to change it up a bit. I’m making the starting chain the length size. The rows, on her blanket will be vertical!

The reason you chose Susan Bates hooks (the shape of the head) is the exact reason I have heard people say they did NOT prefer these hooks. Hook design is very personal. It depends on the crocheter’s style and possibly the yarn!

[@kellyreneeveryday]

So true! I find Susan Bates works well on worsted, acrylic yarns... not so great with cotton. So, yes, personal choice and other factors play into it as well. Thank you for watching and commenting!!

[@kellyreneeveryday]

Glad it was helpful! and yes, the label is a great place to start, but depending on the final 'feel' you want, going bigger on the hook makes the final work less stiff.

Very nice! As a beginner, making afghans, blankets, scarves were the best way to learn for me because of the repetitive stitches.
