Make in a Day Crochet Chunky Blanket ! So EASY 🤩 🧶

In this video I share how to make a big, squishy blanket using a modified version of the "blanket" stitch. This is even easier and faster resulting in a similar look with a beautiful fabric with excellent "drape".
A 4x5 ft blanket will take approx 6-8 hours of crochet time depending on your speed. For example, each ball took me 1.5 hours to crochet.

As a brand new crocheter, I really appreciate how thorough you are with your explanations where other tutorials gloss over things or omit the info altogether. Thank you also for filming your work up close so newbies like me can see what we are supposed to be doing and for showing EXACTLY where the hook is supposed to go on each stitch. You take your time to show the stitch pattern repeatedly, and what to look for at the end of the row and how to continue to the next row, and that is SOOOO helpful for a middle age newbie like me. You are an EXCELLENT teacher! You have given me the confidence to attempt crocheting again as I had given up on even trying after a disastrous attempt at a scarf years ago. I want to make something for my son as a housewarming gift for his new place so I am going to try making this blanket for his sofa. After watching this video, I am inspired to try crocheting again….and might even try tackling that scarf again at some point too! Thank you for sharing your talent here so others like me can appreciate your work and learn! 😊❤🙏

Excellent video!! One suggestion: Please include the written instructions (the same ones you put on the screen which were very clear and concise).😊 It’s too difficult to go back and find rows 3-6 on the video because the time stamps don’t always start at a new row. (I had to go back through the video and write them down which was a little tedious.) But other than that, great job! I’m happy to learn how to read crochet instructions while I was following your video! I look forward to seeing others.❤

First time viewer of your channel, but this is excellent! A month ago, I was looking for this VERY stitch for some yarn that's also very thick (I did find it, after much searching). It looks LOVELY! Insta-sub. I first started using this stitch on cotton washcloths from a pattern on Ravelry; but it had been years, and I had no idea what it was called! Maybe you know how it is, you use so many different stitches, you'll remember one you did and go, "What was that stitch?" The Suzette stitch has to be my absolute favorite stitch. It goes very quickly, is fun to do, and I haven't seen a yarn yet that doesn't look great with it. So glad I know the name, now! BTW, love your channel name! Great video. Thank you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Highly recommend for warmth, yes. If you want this to be even warmer, I’d recommend going down to a 10mm hook size to tighten the stitch a little to make it more dense. Another option would be this pattern … no gaps between the stitches making it nice and warm : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn-lcneBnrF0rJYsi=oxR4kA1HgbQAYYWU

[@karinzitzelsberger8674]

I started today and have done 1 skein so far. It's very dense and firm and i think, i should give it a try with a bigger hook. Have you ever made it with a bigger hook?

With this yarn that can be a pain with popping out. The only thing I’ve found that really helps is to tack it down with a needle and thread . I show what I do at the end of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3erhYJsqsqphq8si=p4xkHT5FiNLff8_Q

[@stacykirwin1367]

Hi! I'm excited this came up in my feed! I recently tried two other tutorials with this Suzette stitch and one swatch ended up too tight on the edges and the other swatch made one side taller than the other so i gave up on it before starting a large project... I'll give your version a try and hope it ends up even and flat. My concern is theres just a single crochet on the ends of each row but it has to be the same height as a double with a single... has anyone had issues with this? Do you need to make your last sc a bit looser?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I see what you mean … somehow … and maybe it’s because of the larger hook size, it seemed to even out for me on the sides. But , you might find you like it more if you you replace the sc with a dc or even a hdc . It’s not going to affect the stitch count so I’d give it a go. Otherwise the stitch itself is going to be a bit lumpy throughout because it’s puffing the stitch out a bit. You might find ,Stacy, that a larger hook helps. Please keep me posted - I’m curious if you find a solution that works for you that can be passed on to other crocheters that are having the same issue 💕

[@gracefire7]

I end my rows with the double crochet (US), and it's giving it a nice beveled look to the sides. I had to do several rows before I saw it, though. Even with the dc, I also add a chain 1, and if you try that, you'll see it looks very nice. I don't know if my count was off or what, but it wound up being a happy accident.

Hello thank you for sharing, silly question, but would something this bulky fit in reg washing machine? Or do I need to take it to laundromat and use the huge washers or the cleaners? 🤔

[@PlayHookywithMe]

This one will fit a regular washer … the ones using the next size up of yarn is more of an issue. I do those in my washer as well but they hold a lot of water when they are washed . Depending on the machine, it could put the drum off balance so you have to keep an eye on it . That’s only happened to me a couple of times . To fix that, I just shift the blanket around so it can balance itself back out.

Is the wool like a chenille.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Very similar - it’s described as chenille but it’s not as slippery/soft as other types and doesn’t shed as much as other chenille style yarns.

What width and length is recommended for a baby crib blanket?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I’m not sure off the top of my head , but you can Google that easily to find out . Search “width and length for a baby’s crib blanket “ Then use the width measurement to create your chain.

[@debrawolleycrochet]

My bulky yarn was discontinued so I have to go to the yarn store and see what they got. I was going to use that bulky yarn for this blanket.

How many skeins for 5 x 6 foot?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I used 6 skeins but it was just shy of 6ft at 5.5 ft. So I’d recommend 7 if you can buy them individually. I bought by packs of 2 when I ordered . 👍🏻💕
