[@OpheliaTalks]

I hope you like the idea of a scrap blanket. It is very easy to crochet and is suitable for beginners and if you are an advanced crocheter it's a very relaxing project. Enjoy the tutorial, Anja xx

[@Jazz1959]

What are the multiples for this stitch if I want it larger please. I have so much left over yarns from projects this would be fun to make.

[@5877user]

I’m using 2 threads, lol. The first two rows were challenging, but now I’m scrap busting through the easier part. I actually used stitch markers to count out every 20 stitches. Count and recount, too,

[@manthasagittarius1]

Beautiful, even workmanship. No matter how mixed these things get, they are always cheerful, pretty and warming. Best present i ever got as a child was a bag of richly mixed yarn leftovers and a bright red medium sized hook. I kept and used the resulting blanket for years, until it went to a young niece when she went away to school.

[@niccolealdrich4890]

Thank you! I just vowed to myself that I am going to use up all of my current yarn stash before I purchase any more (other than to finish up projects that I ran out of yarn for). This is perfect! Thanks for the idea 💡!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Wonderful! Thank you for watching Niccole Aldrich ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

[@ChuckAng123]

Absolutely SPLENDID idea/tutorial for using up ALL of those bins/bags full of yarn scaps we crochet ladies have piling up everywhere, in a truly gorgeous blanket! Thank you SO MUCH for this great project. I am starting this TODAY!

[@OpheliaTalks]

You are so welcome! Anja x

[@jeckellhobbs5017]

This is much simpler then I have been expecting. Thank you so much. I'm not exactly a beginner but not quite an intermediate either. God bless you!

[@shondra6]

Love this idea of using up bits and pieces...

[@jaisridhar66]

Excellent demo! I am going to start my blanket first thing in the morning.Thanks a lot.

[@jesseneal655]

I've been searching for different patterns for my 6 childrens blankets and I absolutely love this pattern very simple and direct but beautiful ❤️ thank you.

[@allanpelton684]

I agree with the the other comments of a excellent teacher. Please keep the tutors coming as I appreciate them so very much !

[@annasullivan4946]

Thank you so much!!! I wanted a blanket to make as a gift without doing a traditional granny square of going round and round and this is PERFECT!! I plan to use red, green and white with a varigated yarn of green, white and red yarn. I hope this turns out as BEAUTIFUL as yours looks. God Bless. DebbieAnna

[@viviandibrell849]

So excited to find this. Very nicely done a tutorial! I plan to try it with all my scraps!

[@denisekrueger8745]

just finished this as my quarantine project! Made a blanket for my hubby who calls it his blanket of many colors! I love that it has lots of colors from past projects!

[@OpheliaTalks]

That is awesome! I love the name he gave to the blanket. Thank you for watching denise krueger ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

[@julielines3281]

Oh thank you so much for your help x making my grandson a blanket x

[@bonniejalsevac7946]

After crocheting ferociously in 2020, I get the need for a scrap blanket! And I love the Granny stitch! Thank you for this tutorial....January to March are long cold months which now have a warm project ahead!

[@OpheliaTalks]

You are so welcome! Happy crocheting xx

[@OurLargeFamilyLife]

So beautiful. I’m making my triplets each a blanket with variegated yarn and I feel like this will make lovely blankets

[@tapatini279]

[@rhodaedwards7404]

Thank you Anya. You have motivated me to use up all my scrap thread. I will start with this blanket. I really appreciate the love and the sharing. Please give Miss Layla my regards.

[@OpheliaTalks]

You are so welcome Rhoda! Anja x

[@carolyncoppola974]

This is a great idea and alternative to the granny square which (for some reason, my squares are abstract)! I’ve accumulated so much extra yarn, this is a great way to use it up! Thank you so very much!

[@preckles]

Carolyn Coppola To learn how to make a perfectly square granny square blanket, look up Fuad Azmat on KZbin. Watch her tutorial on How To Crochet A Granny Square Cocoon Sweater. It is a great tutorial! Very clear! Very easy🌟 🎃Melissa

[@rho1360]

I just started a blanket this evening, however I am going to start again now I've watched your video. Beautifully explained and demonstrated, thank you 😊👍

[@OpheliaTalks]

Glad it was helpful Rho! Thank you, Anja x

[@Erica-et4ye]

Awesome teaching...very easy to follow along! Thank you 😊

[@grandmasmagic3858]

I started making this using foundationless SC without watching ANYONE'S vids and the wondered why it was going out of shape...tracked down this vid to see what I was doing wrong...turns out I was adding a chain between the clusters to get to my third stitch along...so frogged and started again and now it's not looking wonky...thanks Anja.. also I'm the one who msgd you recently showing you the project basket I'd created after seeing you rummage through one of yours...I have a FB page where I post all my craftwork to, Grandma's Magic..I took on this persona when I use to wrap my eldest granddaughter in a blanket I'd made and she'd fall asleep almost instantly...DL was most grateful when I'd show up with my blanket/shawl and my GD had been wearing out her poor mum with constant crying...my blankets have spread the same magic to my great nieces & nephew..they LOVE bragging to people about their blankets and who'd made them..

[@ronell10]

I like scrap blankets, and the granny stitch is so relaxing to make, perfect combination for a beautiful blanket

[@OpheliaTalks]

I totally agree Ronell10, thank you, Anja x

[@ruthevans6815]

AWESOME BLOSSOM ♥️👽💙 (the Alien head is because I live close to Roswell, New Mexico.) I have just the right amount of leftovers from making skull caps with the ear flaps and braids. Your's truly is a beauty with the right colors♥️ Happy New Year.!🥂🍾

[@barbaraburdick9533]

Very pretty! I love all the soft, muted colors in your blanket.

[@harrietetter9321]

ive been working a chainless foundation for that many stitches -- more flexible and fun to do

[@susangrahf1503]

What is a chain less foundation

[@cheg753]

Really good idea and well explained. Thanks

[@MeAVE243]

The one row or less rule makes it look so much prettier than the weird blocks ones that I've seen!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes indeed, doesn't it, I don't like the use it all up in one go and then go on to the next colour, this is much more pleasing to the eye Thanks for your input! Keep watching! xxx

[@angelasumadi4376]

This is the best explanation ever. You are a very good teacher. Best wishes.

[@The3GMom]

I’m going to do this style for my first blanket.

[@anniecancel2296]

Thanks! You are a wonderful teacher!!!❤❤❤❤👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏

[@honeyc3496]

Hi ophelia....very beautiful blanket. Very good tutorial, i like it. Your tutorial is easy to follow. Thanks.

[@chantalhenderson6994]

Such a pretty blanket. I hope to make it in the future after the project I’m doing presently.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thanks for watching my video Chantal Henderson and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕

[@cranberry420]

Thank you, started mine now! Hoping to finish it by christmas!

[@OpheliaTalks]

I'm sure you will, good luck, Anja x

[@kimberlywalders6063]

Very nice tutorial ! Thank You so much.

[@5877user]

Update: Following your very clear explanation and close up demonstration, I have lovely straight edges for the first time. I am using 2 threads and started with 132 chains and followed your instructions. It is my first granny cluster blanket that I have admired seeing on other videos but looked daunting. Now it’s just a matter of how long I make it. Thank you again. Will watch your other videos too.

[@OpheliaTalks]

That's great news retiredstitcher2729, I'm so glad I could help you. Thank you, Anja x

[@charmaineizuakor8853]

Many thanks to you I finally got the hang of it 💕

[@OpheliaTalks]

Wonderful! Thank you for watching Charmaine Izuakor ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

I always go into the hump of the chain for the first row and then you have a nice chain edge for adding borders.

[@IMIMIMIMI]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! It's very useful :)

[@reginabarker308]

I love your videos, thank uoi!

[@kabalove7938]

Awesome!!!! Now I know what I can do with all my puny skeins/rolls of yarn 🧶. ♥️🤣🤣

[@lyndajones3596]

Thank you.. I love your work..

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thanks so much Lynda I hope you are keeping an eye out for the Advent calendar starting on Saturday 1 December? It is very exciting, I have been filming and designing a lot the last few days, I hope you will enjoy it! Keep watching! xxx

[@Beccascreations4151]

Thank you so much!! Great pattern!! 💗

[@cherylpesutimassie5010]

2 year old video and still a wonderful tutorial...Thank you for sharing...hugs from Arizona...:)

[@BeYou4You]

The best!! I wished she made more tutorials. I’ve had to come back to this one video time and time again because her steps are simple and her blanket edges are so pristine. I’ve tried other tutorials and the edges on those granny stripe blankets are quite Wonky!

[@beecy3893]

Lovely pattern so easy to follow 🌟 thank you 👍

[@sharonlibrarian3643]

Love it! Will be happy to do one. I had thought it to be too. Complex to try yet. 😉

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thank you for watching Sharon Librarian ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

[@5877user]

Oh how I love your video!! You made it so clear and demonstrated everything!! There was another video someone else did that said to turn the first row of chains over and stitch into the “bumps.” For me, that was too difficult. You don’t do that. So now, having watched you, I think I can do this. I’ve been admiring the granny cluster. Thank you for sharing.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Oh that's great news retiredstitcher2729, so glad I helped you find an easier way. Thank you for watching, Anja x

[@karinmcconnell9901]

That is wonderful! The good thing about scrap blankets is, that they are all unique. Have fun and a happy New Year! 🎆

[@lynnwinter94]

I'm very happy you use US terms because somehow i learnt in US terms 40 plus years ago, how I don't know I can't remember how or even who taught me 😮 x

[@joaniejohnson3346]

I’m using your colors, sort of 🤣 imitation is best for of complement ♥️ I will post progress on your FB page eventually. Looking forward to my son’s visit this weekend from FL. He is renting car so as not to be in plane & then come here. It’s an 8hour drive. I haven’t seen him since November. So, I am calm with this scrap blanket. Thanks again Anja! Happy Saturday!

I love your video, I do not have problem with the terms you use, UK or US. I live in OKLAHOMA USA. I watch a lot of the UK videos and just convert the terms to US. Thank you.

[@GardenJensJourney]

Love this!!

[@BeccaBarnes99]

This is my favorite video, I would love to get the Hiyahiya set because then I would have all the hooks that I use the most and I wouldn't feel like I need to run down to Joanne's all the time to get a new hook.
