🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on KZbin yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

How do you finish off the sewing of the attached applique to the knit square

[@Mystichummingbird83]

Thank you Robin you saved the day again. I'm doing a baby blanket that has a applique on it. They wanted me to hot glue it on. I thought there had to be a better way. Especially for a baby. Thank goodness I checked first. Up popped your video. I really did not want to mess up my pretty baby blanket or hurt a baby by gluing it on. Thank you so much for your advice.

[@meganwhitehouse9806]

I am doing the same thing! Didnt want to glue it incase they ended up coming off

[@quiltingbirdie]

Hi Robin. This video is a lifesaver!! Unfortunately I didnt leave a long tail to sew my applique on 😢. I guess I'll need to attach a long tail to the back of my elephant. Sob

[@cutecrochet]

How do I finish the stitch? Do I knot or just weave it in?

[@marieburr8279]

Lovely thank you. Your nails are beautiful

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Marie!😃💅

[@hajeh]

Thank you.

[@HookedbyRobin]

You're welcome! 🤗

[@kelleylikes5641]

How do you finish off the end to secure it?

[@Jflowers120]

Thanks for the great video, Robin 💕 Can I just ask, how do you fasten your sewing off......so it stays secure. Thanks 😊👍

[@HookedbyRobin]

A tiny little knot and then weave in the ends under the actual applique itself 👍

[@Jflowers120]

Hooked by Robin Brilliant! Thanks Robin 👍

[@virginiasomerville5113]

That reminds me of Swedish weaving.

[@wendysosky7678]

Thank you Robin as always for this great tutorial. I have a couple of questions-first, when you finish off or knot the yarn after sewing on the applique,m does the knot show through-or rather how do you keep the knot from showing through or making a bump? Also, if you have an applique that has sections of different colors i.e. an elephant with a gray body and pink ears, do you recommend finishing off each color and the starting with a new color? Thanks.

[@afernunes]

Obrigada por compartilhar

[@HookedbyRobin]

🥰🤗

[@jeter2344]

Hello! I was wondering how exactly you’d end sewing the appliqué? Make a knot and just cut it at the end or?

[@ginahengeveld9861]

I like your video. But you didn’t show how to tie off when you were done sewing.

[@shaelynn2468]

3 years later and i still can't find a comment on how to tie it off XD

[@lexirae4950]

@@shaelynn2468that would be because she doesn’t tie it off for this specific pattern. If you pay attention to the beginning when she’s showing the finished piece she uses that left over tail for the “ribbon” on the “balloon”

[@elementalghost13]

This may have an obvious answer but in the video you were attaching the heart to a filled granny square but I was wondering if this method would also work for something more open like a regular granny square?

[@Emily-lo2do]

what do you do after you do the stitching with the extra yarn? do you cut off the excess or thread it back into the heart?

[@lavanzt]

hey ik im late but how do u finish it? do you just cut it off or tighten it or what?

[@deidrapowell8762]

I have a blanket my mom crocheted. I have some extra blocks I found. I want to add as an appliqué heart. I sew (machine) but don’t crochet. How would I tie off?

[@RB-jh9mn]

Thank you so much this has been so helpful! Would you recommend blocking the square before applying the appliqués? Thanks again! 💖

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yes definitely! 😀

[@RB-jh9mn]

@@HookedbyRobin Awesome thanks so much for replying! 💖

I wanted to like it again as I came back for a revision. Here’s an emoticon instead 👍🏾

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you!🥰🤗

[@sarahstewart82]

Great idea, but how do you tie it off at the end?

[@ajpettrey1982]

What would I do at the very end of it to tie it off and make sure it’s secure without it showing?

[@dakotag1997]

When you’re done sewing do you just cut it off and leave it? Or do you weave in the ends?

[@lemontoob]

What do you do with the last bit of yarn when it’s done? Do you knot it? If so how do you hide it?

[@pattyherpel5032]

Thank you for this tutorial. I was wondering how to sew the stars on the American flag afghan I am working on.😊

[@HookedbyRobin]

I’m glad it helps Patty!😃🤗

[@emilydavid4422]

Oh no I already weaved in my ends 🤣!

[@karlyrose714]

Do u need to knot it afterwards so it doesn’t come undone? I’m knew at this n not sure how to secure it at the end

[@sackthingwru]

Would I just cut off the yarn when I’m done sewing it to my project?

[@marifaz64]

Do you Know how to attach fur to crochet.

[@TogetherAsOnee]

How do you tie off appliqués?

[@scrubkaekz3231]

Is this safe to place in the washing machine when they're applied?

[@sandradrummond4736]

I have crochet two American Flags but haven’t put the stars on them. I would appreciate if you would do a you tube to help me. I really want to finish them to give away also to make some more blankets.

[@Lolaroseox]

How do you tie it off at the end though? No one shows that. I'm sewing on a red pocket with black yarn and I have no clue how to start it off without just tying a large knot on the end

[@lesleydixon2027]

do you use the same thickness of wool or thinner thread?

[@HookedbyRobin]

I use the same thickness of wool :-)

[@smallhhazzyartist9534]

Can I still stitch my appliques even though I've already cut off the tails ? /:

[@bxnnyghxst6684]

Does anyone know how to do this with just a crochet hook?
