I have just learned to crochet. Also I have learned after my first project of crochet to do tunisian crochet. Thank you so much for the very in depth explanation of what I should see and what I'm looking at. The section on reading the pattern was so much help I think I can make this. ❤ thank you! I'm off to yarn shop now.

[@melaniegrobler9016]

So excited - just sat down with my yarn and a cup of coffee xxx

[@beatrixsnyman4411]

Wasn’t it a cán of coffee? 😂☕️

[@starbrightinfinity3329]

I just bought my first set of Tunisian hooks and this is the perfect project to do a bit of learning.

[@beatrixsnyman4411]

Hej Joshua. Did you manage to do this project yet? Hope the videos are helpful to you for learning 👌🏻

[@starbrightinfinity3329]

@@beatrixsnyman4411 I haven’t yet but I’ve been practicing with Tunisian crochet

[@joseanker2059]

Great teacher, lovely pattern. Can’t wait to start the blanket but I’ll have to until the hooks arrive. Lol

[@beatrixsnyman4411]

I am so glad you like this pattern. It is great for beginners that would like to get their technique and tension right.

[@susanvanvleck3957]

Oh my word! I'm sorry I missed this when it started but now that I've found it in saving it to my watch list!

[@beatrixsnyman4411]

Hej Susan. The benefit of these videos and the pattern; you can do it anytime you want. There are a few ladies that informed me that they started making this only now, so you can too and just enjoy your progress. Warmest B

[@lauriepfantz6293]

I love the way your project is constructed! Thank you so much for the tutorial. One suggestion that comes to mind might be to decide what the first row of the border will be an make first one or maybe two rows TSS in that color. Then first row changing of colors will not be quite as fiddly. I will give it a try, I hope it works like I envisioned.

[@beatrixsnyman4411]

Hello Laurie. Thank you so much for your comment and feedback. Doing a border like that is a brilliant idea. I agree 100% that it will eliminate that fiddly on the foundation row with all the color changes. But, if you are up for a challenge, you can fiddle. Have you started yet and how is your progress doing?

[@lauriepfantz6293]

Thanks! The first row or two of any project always takes the most patience. I've got this on my to do list. I should try to finish at least 1 WIP before I tackle this. Your projects are great inspiration.

Curling does drive me 😜. I steam the edge when I can’t take the curling any longer. I feel soo much better. Lol. Yep, you’re a great teacher. I looked at the pattern. It is beautifully written and sooo clear and detailed. Thank you soo much for this tutorial. I was looking for the ten stitch Tunisian blanket but I like this pattern better👏🏽

[@zellie9]

Hi there, thank you for the video, it is really great and very helpful. I'm just wondering if you can knit as well? And if so will you upload a video too? If not then it is also ok, I had fun watching and learning how to crochet.

[@beatrixsnyman4411]

Zellie C I do knit, but specializes in Tunisian Crochet. I have my videos for the year planned, so I don’t think I’ll manage to get to any knitting videos soon. So, come and enjoy the crochet for now. Sure you’ll love it 👌🏻💖

Does the yarn have wool? If so is there an alternative?

[@beatrixsnyman4411]

Franca Perotti the featuring yarn is a 50% cotton / 50% bamboo blend. Super soft and drapey 👌🏻

[@cherylstyer5637]

I made a baby blanket with this stitch in 3 colors but it is not wide enough. is there a way to add on to make it bigger.. Thank you for your help

[@beatrixsnyman4411]

Hello Cheryl, There is indeed a simple way to add length and width to a Tunisian Crochet piece. Are you familiar with the entrelac technique? I designed a blanket earlier this year to be part of a Tunisian Along which now will only take place in the new year. There I will teach you the different methods of entrelac and how to use it in different manners. You will be able to use this technique to add size to your blanket.

[@fedupwithvulgarities5229]

TL Yarn Crafts has a tutorial that explains this much faster than this instructor and does it a little differently.

[@beatrixsnyman4411]

Fedupwithvulgarities thank you for your compliment on my instructions. I know many watchers appreciated my method and speed ☺️☺️
