Stunning Crochet Blanket: Everyone will love it!! Easy to Make!!

[@kelleybuell5582]

My mom made a couple blankets like this in the 80's with acrylic yarn. They stayed on the couch forever and I still have and use one of them!

[@kimbo500]

Same here! My mom had this blanket (gifted by her best friend), on our family room couch for ages. Everyone want to have this blanket around them when settling in to watch tv. Warm and cozy!

[@misspamyla]

I DID IT!!! I tried this as an experiment. Didn't love the colors but chose the colors I had extra of. I had some trouble with the sizing and making sure i had the correct beginning chain. I'll have to get a better handle on it before I do another one. But all in all I'm pretty proud of myself for getting it done. And now that it's done, I don't hate the colors. Yay!!!

June 30 2024: Love the explaination of the filet stitch and ending the row to have a smooth edge. This looks so complicated, but you have shown how it is doable. You are so right when measuring strains and how they grow! Wow that weaving really secures the tassels also. Side note I have never seen a “yarn bobbin”. This makes it so easy with picking colors. Thank you for the pointers and your “mistakes” that gives us notice of what may happen. Just came across your channel and needed a blanket for my teen grandson. This one is perfect. Thank you for posting this gorgeous blanket.

Do you find that the woven yarn is snagging? I’d love to make these for a charity I work with as it’s gorgeous but they can’t take anything with holes (like a traditional granny square) or loose work that could snag. What do you think

[@alyceburns7165]

This is a absolutely gorgeous!!! I did this for a scarf along time ago, but never thought to do it with a blanket!!! Instead of cutting the 3 strands of yarn, I made a chain the length that I needed and weaved the chain as you did. Thanks to you…now I will do this as a blanket. I just recently brought some of this yarn as it was on sale…was going to make a cardigan. I couldn’t find you email…was going to send you a picture of the scarf. Thanks again for sharing this gorgeous masterpiece!!! Be safe and have a blessed evening…new sub and now binge watching your channel. Recommending to my other crochet friends on utube!!!

[@KnottingHookCrochet]

Thanks Sandra!! You can find my email on my about page, I guess I should really put it in the description section.

[@MrsGump]

Sandra, did you do the chain for weaving thru using 3 strands so it was "chunky" enough? I thought about doing a SC chainless foundation long enough, & thick enough to weave thru the gaps :)

[@sandaramoore9660]

@@MrsGump GM…thanks for your question. I just did the normal chain used to begin a crochet project (1 strand 4 weight). It looks like a braid giving you texture. If you like…provide me with your email…I can send you a picture of my scarf.

This is the blanket I grew up making. I don't see it often now, it's nice to see it being made again

[@SierraSadie1]

Do you know what the name of the blanket is?

[@marylynch8929]

@@SierraSadie1 No idea, sorry. My mother made it all the time, it was her go-to blanket. Everyone she ever met probably got one 😊 Our introduction to crocheting was being allowed to weave the yarn strands with a safety pin and make the fringe. Then she could start one and we could continue the mesh until we could make the whole thing.... but it never did have a name that I knew of. She did like the Magic Crochet magazines, and made from them. But I'm not sure if she got it from there.

This is very nice and beautiful. Years ago I made a hand bag this way, but used a small hook. Instead of weaving in strands of yarn, I made long chains which got woven in. It turned out very nice.

[@wendywatkins628]

I was thinking the same thing. Also why not just crochet through the grid so its attached to the blanket. I know that would make it two different sides, but might be pretty that way.

[@HRHDMKYT]

This really is a very lovely blanket. I wonder if a line of sewing at each end might just keep those strands secure? (Have you ever done that? I haven’t, but I also have never woven strands through an entire afghan before. I’d be afraid of them being pulled, say, by a hair clip or piece of jewelry or something. I’d think as long as you use thread the same color as the chain row at each end, it wouldn’t be noticeable at all. Just wondering out loud). Thanks for the demonstration of the filet stitch, I’m not familiar with that one because I usually only do zig-zag afghans or something with a minimal-holes stitch. 😊

[@carlasilva4381]

I can’t seem to find that yarn. I really love that color combination. Do you have a yarn you could recommend?

[@marigam]

I did this blanket(in three colors), tried to weave in those stripes and had to BAIL. OMG I could not cut the yarn into the right size no matter what I did! It’s crazy how I’d cut one piece and it would be drastically different from the next! And even what I did cut I was not at all convinced it was the correct length because when woven in, the tension would vary and I was worried it would be okay now but after I tie everything off it would shrink or pull out and be way longer than needed. It was such a headache! I ended up just leaving the blanket striped and calling it finished! Thank you for the tutorial, I still love the blanket! For anyone planning to do the weaving you HAVE TO COUNT or check OFTEN that you haven’t skipped stitches. It looks like mindless work but the first time I tried weaving in I saw I skipped stitches somehow and you can’t weave in if you’re off even by one square! I basically had to remake the blanket twice over. Now I KNOW I didn’t skip anything but I ended up not weaving anyways😅
