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

[@cozzeema]

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! 😊❤🙏

Your message means the world to me, thank you so much for taking the time to share this ❤️💕🧶

I discovered the suzette stitch through this video and I made a blanket with the perfect phasing in teal and I want to thank you, because of you I *made* the most luxurious item I own. It’s so wonderful.

Oooh , it sounds gorgeous 😍😍😍 so glad I was a part of your journey , thank you for telling me ❤️👏🏻

I have been loving the Suzette stitch these days. I’ve made bookmarks with size 3 crochet thread. Working on dresser scarves with same size thread. Also cotton washcloths with same stitch. It’s so easy to do on autopilot, like you mentioned, and pretty too. Thanks for this video.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oooh, bookmarks! What a lovely idea. Yes , this such a great “go to” stitch I’m discovering! 🙌🏻💕

[@abc-wv4in]

I love this tutorial! I just made a small throw using #4 wt Caron Jumbo Ombre and a K hook. I chained 90 to begin for a width of about 32-33 inches. It turned out great! Love the texture of this stitch. I'm going to make a hot pad/pot holder with some cotton yarn I have.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Very doable yes! 🙌🏻💕

[@abc-wv4in]

Great tutorial; thank you so much I love the texture of this stitch and your directions are very easy to follow. Some tutorials on the Suzette stitch aren't very clear on how to start a new row but yours are. I just made a small throw (about 33" x 43") using two 595-yd skeins of #4 worsted wt. Caron Jumbo Ombre and a K hook. I made a chain of 90. One thing I did differently is that I added a beginning row of SC to the chain, starting in the 2nd chain from hook and worked into the back "nubs" of the beginning chain, which is just something I often do because I like the edge better. I also like to add a row of SC after the final pattern row of the throw although it doesn't matter. It turned out beautifully! I use the similar "puffy" blanket stitch (1 SC, 2 DC) and #4 wt Caron Simply Soft yarn and a K hook (J would work fine but I like less dense and very squishy) when I make baby blankets, but I love the texture of the Suzette stitch and it does seem to work up faster. Many thanks! This will be my go-to stitch for throws and lap throws.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Wonderful 😀💕 Thank you for sharing 👏🏻🧶

[@gracefire7]

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!

[@edithh9478]

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.❤

Looks like a good blanket. My question is, how warm is this???? I have family getting ready to move to Alaska-- I want to make warm afghans for them. Waiting for your answer-- thank you. God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon. Your instructions are very well taught & able to follow

[@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?

I just found this its beautiful! How many chains and roes you think for a baby blanket? ❤

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I don’t know how many chains since I use a tape measure and chain along it until I reach the width I want . Then I keep working rows until I reach the height I want the blanket to be. There are a wide range of sizes for baby blankets so I’d recommend you choose the size you prefer and use those dimensions to make your blanket. If you google “standard baby blanket sizes” , you’ll get some great ones to choose from ❤️🧶

[@staciedonaldson1792]

I LOVE your videos! You make me feel like I can actually do this! Would Bernat velvet yarn work the same way with this stitch? Would I need a different amount of yarn?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Absolutely. I’m not sure of the weight of the velvet , I think it might be slightly thinner than this. I’d expect you’d need more yarn, then. But to be sure, compare the labels on both and see what the size differences are. Look at the size hook used on both - that’s the fastest way to know. Then from there the yarn weight and amount in the ball itself. You can find the labels online easily 🧶❤️

[@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.

During Black Friday I bought 6 skeins of bernet blanket yarn and all the other stuff I even bought those expensive clover hooks 🤔 I watched so many videos and what I’ve learned is I wish someone would’ve told me to make my beginning chain when starting a blanket to make them loose 😢 I thought I finally had the hang of it until I realized after 3 skeins and hours of crocheting that my blanket is curled (very curled) so I chained 125 but didn’t realize I needed to count the stitches I just done half double crochet because it was easier and faster. I was going to frog it but this is a blanket of learning. It’s my ruffled mess blanket 😂

You'll get there! And look at all you already learned through this first blanket . Named it, The “ruffled with love” blanket! 😆🧶❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@gwroyer]

So I'm fairly new to crocheting. I'm wondering why you do a single crochet followed by a double, instead of just doing two double crochets??

[@PlayHookywithMe]

It’s due to the type of stitch that’s being created. You’re making a pattern here . If you make a sample up with each way (sc dc and dc dc ) you’ll see a difference in the look of the fabric.

@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you. I figured it was due to the pattern it creates.

[@emmy_4837]

how many skeins of yarn does it take to make the 5x6 blanket vs. the 4x5?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

one extra skein difference 👍🏻🧶

[@emmy_4837]

@PlayHookywithMe thanks so much! love this pattern, so so fun to work up

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@ so glad !

Lovely!💙💙💙

Thank you !

[@katelynstaley5527]

Would it be ok to use a 15mm hook you think? Thank you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Sure - it will just make your loops even bigger so just take that into account and see how it looks to you 🧶💕

[@wendellmonster6179]

That’s beautiful I don’t know if I missed it but what size hook are you using? Thank you so much I appreciate your reply.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

12 mm 👍🏻💕

[@wendellmonster6179]

@@PlayHookywithMe thank you so much 😊

[@debramitchell4984]

I liked your crochet hook. Where did you get it?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Michaels Craft Store - if you check the description box under the video, you’ll see a link for it 👍🏻

[@tamitrux]

Can I ask please, how do you colorblock the yarn so that if you're using different colors, they don't bleed on each other?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I haven’t worked with more than one color for this project but from what I understand , these acrylic/polyester yarns don’t bleed colors. I’m sorry I don’t know 😕

[@JazJackson-r5c]

How much would you charge for a blanket of this size(4x5), including materials?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I really can’t help you with that since I don’t sell my work. I’d recommend seeing what others are charging on ravelry and Etsy. Also Google articles on how to price these kind of projects. Maybe there’s a KZbin video on the subject . 💕

[@angelatapia3813]

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.

[@queennofdisasterr]

I’m having a problem with my first row starting to curve my work. Is it my tension?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

It’s very normal. Yes, it’s a tension thing. Your chain is too tight. If you have a larger hook, I recommend you chain with that and then resume with your original hook for the rest of the blanket. If not, try to make a looser chain , it makes an incredible difference. 🧶💕

[@lynnd5478]

If I use a 10 mm crochet hook instead of a 12.. will it make the blanket shorter?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Yes - just a little -it will make the stitches slightly tighter.
