Easy Beginner Crochet Baby Blanket | Sewrella

[@ann3852]

I would like for you to know that I ALWAYS come back to this KZbin video. I’ve lost count of how many blankets I’ve made with it (mostly baby blankets). Bless you for your excellent instructions. I am a retired college instructor of 25 years, and I know how important precise instructions can be. I’ve used many of your other tutorials, and they are great, too!

[@jrjt21]

Hi, maybe you can help me I was asking if my double half double crochet should be 40 or 41 stitches. I keep coming out with 41.😢 and the chain is 41

[@cindyscheff8246]

I love this pattern. I've made close to 40 of them for baby showers & my great grandkids & nieces & nephews. So easy & fast.

[@danabruns6471]

I'm left handed, took me about 4 days re watching this video and doing a practice blanket before I got the hang of it. your video was by far the easiest I have found to re-learn left handed thanks a bunch!!!

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

Talk about instant gratification. This rocks!!

[@dalehouston6075]

I am so glad you are back. I made this blanket for my first great nephew. Mailed it in time for my niece's baby shower. She cried when she saw it. She passed it around so everyone could see how soft it was. I never used this yarn before or the Question needle. Thank you.

[@MsJamble]

I made this blanket for a friend's baby girl. I used the pink/peach Bernat blanket yarn for the main blanket and white for the border. It turned out very cute and very quickly! The mother was surprised and very excited to receive such a precious hand made gift. Thank you for this video and this design. I am planning on making a couple of them for baby boys and girls to keep on hand for gifts! I'm really enjoying your videos!

[@Sewrella]

Thanks Julia, glad your gift was a hit!

[@vw1838]

Julia Gamble what was the end size please? Thank you!

[@mariamarin3124]

+Sewrella it is ok to use acrylic yarn for babies?

[@amazedbyhisgrace1606]

Julia, didn't it come out really small, with just 40 stitches in the chain?

[@Soobhaan533]

Maria Marin where r u from

[@comet969]

Thank you I’ve been making this blanket for a few years now for all baby showers and such it’s so easy and quick and it’s a nice cushy floor blanket for tummy time or something to keep them off the floor it’s so quick and easy with the bulky and the younger gen loves it because of the soft fluffiness. It’s a simple to do winner 🙏🏻 💗. Also if I don’t have time to make another blanket I know I can whip this out quick so I at least have one to give.

[@marianamunoz6075]

I’m on my 2nd skein… almost done! So excited! I’m making this ad a gift for a baby girl so for the border I’m using a Bernat Blanket variegated yarn that has pink, soft gray & off white! Can’t wait!!!

[@joym9189]

Love it so much, the wool is heavenly, thank you for sharing im 7 rows in to making it for my 2nd Grandbaby arriving in March.

[@BucketInABox]

My moms 7th grandkid is arriving in a few months, very excited! Need a few blankets for them all.

[@CK-831]

I have made six of these since first finding the video. Everyone loves them!!!

[@ra7544]

Can you please tell me what size is your blanket

[@traciewheaton945]

I just started crocheting this past Christmas, and I struggled trying to get the hang out of it. Since finding your videos, I have started to enjoy and crochet much easier! I love your videos so much! You do such a great job at explaining and showing how its done!

[@mariagriffin1216]

Beautiful blanket and so easy . Congrats on your baby boy and pray all is going well. I'll bet he loves snuggling in that blanket you made him.

[@meganl3466]

I followed this tutorial for my first baby blanket and I think it turned out really well! I used a thick, fuzzy yarn so it helped doing a half double crochet. Thanks for uploading this.

[@Bougiechic717]

I stumbled upon you, when deciding to make a blanket as a gift. I crocheted 1 blanket many years ago and couldn't tell you how I did it. Lol. Any way followed your video and made some mistakes along the way having to start over. But once I took my time and really watched the video. It came out beautifully.

[@donnag5191]

Thank you for your excellent instruction. This was the first blanket that I have made that was not a trapezoid!!

[@lourdesarocho3063]

I'm about to make one for my grandson. I already made one for his little sister whose is due to come to this earth June. I like how you explain it in detail. My grandmother taught me when I was a little girl.

[@raisingbabydiaz]

I just finished my first blanket and it's a trapezoid 😂 I will definitely count from now on haha

[@myrnauriegas4510]

Hahah this happened to me too! 😂 Gave it to my puppy 😋

[@katherinekilgore1193]

I think mine will make a nice poncho

[@Malderm29]

Samesies!

[@nickmicheiiecanbirch2462]

I made this blanket thank you for the tutorial I couldn't of done it without it I love the way it turned out

[@rachelstrohm9452]

You make me want to crochet, right now I'm knitting a blanket for dogs in shelters

[@tracy44108]

I am doing this blanket for my grandson due any day now. I used a L hook because I had that one already. It's tighter, but I love it. I did 60 stiches instead because of it being tighter. I want to say thank you for the reminder to count the stitches to make sure...it was such a big help. I am a beginner in the fact, I've only got about 20 items crocheted. thanks!

[@allthingsmekee]

Tracy Knight what were the dimensions when you did 60 stiches?

[@gloriap6168]

Beautiful and very easy, thank you for sharing! Blessings on your new baby!!

[@NJNUNEZ]

Hello and thank you for this tutorial. I'm a beginner and just finished this blanket in less than one day! I love this blanket. My border I finished in a multi-color baby blanket yarn, it's just beautiful. Thank you so much. Keep up the great tutorials.

[@zenalawton7696]

I love doing this blanket, I have done 7 so far for mums at school, got afew more to do. Thank you much for this blanket to do.

[@gachabunnyplayzimakecutega2699]

I'm definitely doing that for my new baby cousin she'll love it!!

[@kathyjenkins5472]

the half double crochet is one of my favorite stitches I find myself using this stitch on most of my blankets and it doesn't take long to do a baby blanket with this stitch either.

[@masuganut2082]

Kathy Lewis it is my fave as well! It gives a fluffier and faster stitch than single crochet but without the holes that double crochet can leave .😄 glad I’m not the only one

[@mountaingirl3322]

I really like this pattern for a baby blanket! I used this pattern a few times over the years and I'm using it again today to make a baby blanket for my neighbor's baby girl who's coming in about a month.

[@jugwinder8181]

Hi I made this blanket in pink and white colour. Completed it in few days very easy to make. The blanket turned out to be very cute. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@ministercherylbenefield8110]

hi there I made this blankie it so loving. I used 3 skeins which made the blankie 36×36 I did use much at all for the edging. it had a few riff patches but next one I make will be as perfect as I want it to be tk u my dear.

[@naseerahvj]

So looking around your tutorial is the most clear and simple I've come accross

[@Sewrella]

+naseerahvj I'm glad you're finding it helpful!

[@susielesemann6665]

I just love this blanket.. the stitch is so easy anyone can do it an it looks like a fun an fast blanket.. tyfs !

[@CK-831]

WOW! I am so lucky to have found your vlog as I have two grandchildren due in Feb and May (1 boy and 1 girl - both daughters are expecting) and this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! After research I found that Walmart has the best prices on the yarn and even has the Q sized hook in stock! Thanks, so much.

[@kittalks2109]

Very beautiful, and your so very helpful! My nephew is coming very soon and I wanted to make a baby blanket and this video has improved my crocheting greatly!

[@yolielucatero613]

I made this blanket for a friend.....it was easy and fun to make. Same colors.

[@mountaingirl3437]

Thank you so much for this video! A friend of mine is having a baby next month and I've been searching for a pattern that I like! I've crocheted many baby blankets over the past few years using basically the same pattern. I absolutely love the pattern I've been using, but I wanted to change it up a bit. Now I found another one I really like! Thanks again!

[@ericaschultz1368]

When you turn your work do you start the hdc again in the same stitch as the single chain made or skip one ??

[@jamunajayashri]

For all the peeps, who have questions about the adult sized blanket using this pattern: I made an adult sized blanket using this tutorial. Dimensions: 60in x 70in throw sized blanket. Used 7 yarns of the main color (used up all of the yarn), and 1 yarn of the ascent color (used like 3/4 ish of the ball). Hope this helps :)

[@stephaniemunns9631]

Thank you for that , what size hook did you use please .

[@janicecox34]

I used this video to make 2 baby blankets that I was asked to make. Thank You for naking this super easy! 👶

[@kasandramonsivaistiscareno9413]

Hello there! 😱 I came across your comment today and was wondering how it took you 6 hours to make a baby blanket? I've been trying a lot of projects on the internet and not once can I finish them in about 6 to 12 hours like others say they do. I really would like to finish mine if only I didnt always run out of yarn. #cheers

[@isaiahantics1154]

I love this tutorial I'm due March 4th and I'm going to make one for my baby I'm going to Michaels tomorrow

[@Khadija11835]

March 14 here...and watching this now from Qatar :)

[@sarathornburgh8880]

@ Sewrella: Can you tell me what the measurements of the blanket should be for this blanket please?

[@christinecarder5336]

Did you find out blanket size

[@Irisbaby1]

I just finished this blanket and it came out great... I'm on my second one ... thank you for this tutorial :)

[@jenoutley4471]

Did you use the big ball?

[@Irisbaby1]

Jen Outley yes

[@kimkelty5717]

Can I make this blanket for a toddler? Was wondering if I doubled the foundation chains to do that.

[@HAPPYBEADER9591]

Cute I love using yarn up with the 1/2 double.

[@LisasEbooks]

I will be a new Nana January 2020 and want my GRAND son to have a handmade blanket. Can’t wait to try this. New subbie here & rang the bell. Let’s please stay connected.

[@pearlkarimalis6225]

This was the first item I have ever crocheted and I got the yarn and needle you suggested. It looked very nice when I finished. However, when I washed it, it just became a huge net. The yarn said machine was and dry and I did both of these on delicate. I raveled it back and re-crocheted it and washed it by hand and tried blocking it - the same result. I ended up throwing it in the garbage, but I really enjoyed making it and would like to know what went wrong.

[@shawnthesheep15]

Just finished up my first blanket following the pattern on this video. It came out great! Thank you!

[@Sewrella]

Happy to hear it, I'm sure it's beautiful! :)

[@ioanaurian33]

[@Nat-te3mg]

@SJ Merritt @sewrella is it 40, or 41 loops in a chain? Both were mentioned in this video

[@juliebenson3990]

Hi, this is a very good video, and I've watched a lot of them. you are the only one that has chained one all others are chain to, hense my daughters baby blanket I've had to rip out, started going sideways, this may be a stupid question, but I judged my chains by counting 2 stitches per inch. You say your using 41 chains. Wouldnt that be about 20 inch width? Shes due next month, I could use the help on how many chains, so I can get going at a rapid pace...Please help...

[@abbeyp8834]

Awesome teacher! 😃 Do you have a link for the hook you are using? Cant seem to find a cheap basic one in Canada Super excited to learn.

[@suewileman6388]

The hook you used was a Cue? is that right, im from oz and was hoping you could tell me what size this is in mm. Our local store only have up to 11.5mm. Thankyou enjoying the videos.

[@happinessaroundyou]

I love the colors and love your tutorial so much. It is easy to follow, I'll make one soon! Thank you so much!!!

[@marianamunoz6075]

So I got really into the work and ended up what I think is either 44 or 45 rows! I don’t exactly know how to count my rows though I sure did count my stitches in each row to have 40 so it’s nice & straight. QUESTION: Is adding a border a problem if I have an even number of rows? Thank you!!!

[@nickmicheiiecanbirch2462]

Thank you for your tutorial I love it it was easy to follow

[@bonnie2178]

This is perfect! Easy to follow instructions too, ty.

[@lizhamer3219]

I have two kids who are having babies and they loved this blanket I made them. They loved it so much they now want me to make an adult size for them. Do you happen to have the measurements for an adult size blanket? And the amount of yarn. Thanks!

[@jeanwalker3113]

Looks really easy and very beautiful, I am going to try this one for my first Great Grandchild due 6/24/17. Thank you

[@momamcf7984]

Love this blanket, I'm a beginner and I'm going to give this a go for my baby. Would you start the blanket as you did in this video or like you have a tutorial for, to make the edge stretchy?

[@anwakefield]

This is my first time ever making a blanket. It's coming together quite nicely, and I just finished row 20 of 35. I'm a little unsure of what.exactly to do once I run out of yarn and have start with the second one I bought. Do I slip stitch and just weave in the tail? Do I tie it somewhere? Any help is.appreciated. :)

[@ninakatiediysandfun309]

i am almost finished with the baby blanket; i would love to make something like this for wedding presents. do you suggest a certain size hook and color of yarn? thanks

[@aydiemouulugun5595]

Looks so simple yet so absolutely amazing x

[@reneaosborn7063]

After the chain 41, when starting the hdc do you skip the first chain? Because I end up with 41 hdc. I can't figure it out. Thank you, you have a beautiful baby.

[@Sewrella]

Yes, skip the first Ch and stitch into the 2nd Ch from hook

[@reneaosborn7063]

Thank you so much for the information!

[@thewheelerfamilycircus]

Is this consistent throughout the pattern? I.e. on the next row, do you also skip first one and go to next or do you go back to the first one?

[@WheatneyWhit]

No matter how many times I try I can't get the right number of crochets after the first row. It never comes out as 40, what I am doing wrong? I also have trouble understand which hole the hook goes into.

[@carolynjordan4633]

Love this blanket .Thank you for sharing with us.

[@shamell03]

Thank you for doing this blanket. I'm having my third boy and I wanted to do something special. And am going to give this a try.

[@ydarivvirady8547]

Thank you for sharing this video. I just made one for my baby girl💖

[@cheyannestuart7742]

This is really helpful! I’m gonna be an aunt in December (it’s a boy!) and wanted to make something for him but had no clue how to crochet. Thank you so much for teaching me! I’ll definitely check out more of your videos

[@patriciawalls8933]

Can I ask what the yardage is for the Bernard blanket yarn is that you used, please. Some are different sizes so I want to make sure I get two balls of the correct yarn.

[@luisaroa2396]

Love your videos. I made this in one sitting. I used the Bernat Blanket Vintage White with the Sailors Delight as the boarder for a soon to be first time Mother as a shower gift. Thank you for this very easy video. I also plan on doing the Parker Beanie with a sweater to match the Beanie for the Mother to be. Do you have any baby sweater videos. Thank you again.

[@ideas5663]

Beautiful, easy and quickly made. Thanks a lot!

[@patricemonet7]

I love this tutorial! I am finishing up my first skein now. Do you have a video of how to add in the 2nd skein of yarn to continue the blanket?

[@Ajamarie888]

I really want to learn to crochet. I think this is going to be my first try!

[@dianedoherty9408]

Please try it,you will love crocheting. My grandmother taught me at a very young age but life got to busy and I stopped for a long time but when my grandchildren came I started up again. I could Never understand the instructions in the books but now with the internet and these videos I have been able to learn stitches I could never do before and in the past few weeks I have made 4 blankets and now I am working on this one for my niece who is expecting in a few weeks. I hope you give it a try and if you stick with it you will be a pro in no time! Good luck!

[@BrixiTalbot]

After the chain of 41, are you crocheting into the back of each stitch? I can't tell. Thank you, & congrats on your little boy!

[@Sewrella]

When working into the chain, yes just work in the top loop of the chain. When working all other rows, crochet into the entire stitch (front and back loops). Hope this helps!

[@jenniferesser8249]

😇💜 I actually have this yarn, and I bought it a couple of years ago. I'm really picky about certain yarns 🧶 and I don't like the fact that, this yarn🧶has creases in it, so I know that I can wash this yarn 🧶 after making the baby blanket, and wash it on gentle cycle, and probably gentle or air fluff to dry. How did you wash your blanket???

[@bobbi-jogould9176]

Great tutorial, very easy to follow instructions. My blankets are coming out great! Thank you for posting!

[@Sewrella]

+Bobbi-Jo Gould I'm sure they're beautiful!

[@bobbi-jogould9176]

👍 beautiful blanket looks easy to make will try and make one for my 1st granddaughterCongratulations to you, i guess by now you must have delivered your baby boy!

[@Jesdoyler]

The only have P size hooks available in Ireland. Will it still work okay? It's 12 mm. If it will work, should I keep the number of stitches/rows as per the video?

[@a.starkey5131]

I am making the blanket with a different yarn. What is the multiple that I should use? Mine needs to be at least double your count. Any suggestions?

[@lindamarino4178]

Very pretty

[@ginettecastro740]

I'd like to make it a little bigger. Do you recommend an odd/even number?

[@patriciamontocchio126]

Beautiful I will try to do for the baby of my daughter many thanks

[@luckysuzful]

I'm brand new to crochet and love your videos! My granddaughter was born one week ago, so I'm making your easy baby blanket. So far so good. But I don't know how to add new yarn. My first ball is now used up. Any tips? Thank yuh for your videos. They are so easy to follow!!!

[@Sewrella]

Just tie the ends of the balls of yarn together and keep going! Weave ends later.

[@ericacritti3329]

I have just started watching and already love this, been looking for someone to explain and show everything..I am having problems with being to tight or loose at times and it curling on bottom. Again only been doing this for a week..thank you
