The Granny Star Blanket Crochet Tutorial!

[@theeclecticanimist4415]

have only recently discovered your amazingness... and just have to say, aside from the gorgeous work/patterns.. your attitude.. (and that giggle hehe) is a bright spot in my day!

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

I have to say that after reviewing at least 3 other star blanket videos, yours by far is the easiest! The granny is always the easiest stitch by far. Thank you so much!

[@michellebattersby5210]

Been wanting try this patten but never been able too follow patten and your patten is the best can't wait strat it tomorrow. Even got smilir yarn but using rainbow baby

[@leilonnihamilton8356]

Thanks for showing an even easier way to make a pointed star blanket. I like funding new ways for me to use the granny pattern. Love it!

[@patriciabarr2161]

You are soooooooo talented and humble, and I admire the fact that you teach and are NOT sponsored... !!! Why!?!?!? I thank your free public service. I would love to see a picture of your little darling family one day. Blessings to you and your dear ones! 😍

[@kathyk479]

I really like how you don't go 80 mph making it impossible to follow!! Thanks for that!! 😀 I'm self taught because I can't transpose the pattern I need to see it being done., if I'm going to use specific patterns! You make it so easy thank you thank you thank you!,!

[@sheilakemp8367]

Love all your patterns! Love how you chat with us! Many thanks.❤😊😊

[@lindacalfee5965]

I just became a great grandmother and I believe I should make this blanket for our little Eli thank you for your teaching us

[@vajee5]

Hi Fiber Spider! I am going to make this afghan in the latte cakes for my grandchildren, for Christmas. It is soft as a kitten. Thank you again for sharing!

[@kathylovely1035]

Love your tutorials! You explain in such a gentle easy way. I appreciate that because I’m back to crocheting after a long hiatus. Going to do the granny star. I’m a huge granny lover like you. Look forward to making more of your blankets❤️

[@merlynnevorkosigan]

It's finished! Thank you again for the tutorial. I took my time, replayed sections, and made notes. After an initial misstep creating the second lot of four points, which I frogged and started over, it went beautifully. I used two and a half colour-changing cakes using a 4.00 hook to make a good-sized baby blanket. Because I made sure to keep the big holes aligned and to maintain the same tension throughout, the blanket lay flat. It is a marvellous first project and greatly increased my confidence to tackle something a little more challenging. 😃😃😃

[@kayceegreer4418]

BraV0! Or do I need to say Brava!?

[@jackieschultz7288]

At row 7, do you do 2 regular rows then decrease 2 rows?

[@sarahfarren6271]

Thank you!! I tried a couple other patterns and tutorials for this and just didn’t get it. I frogged my blankets over and over. Finally following this I got it! Didn’t realize round 5,6, and 7 were a repeat

[@jennycohl8401]

I made a super sized (Queen) blanket. I love it! Thank you very much, Fiber Spider. You’re the best teacher!

[@wendyk79]

Would love to see a pic

[@tinker4278]

I just love how you can crochet and teach all at the same time. I am a beginner and loving also the granny stitch. Love the colors you work with also.

[@janetgifford-bryan6742]

Thanks so much for modelling how to crochet this stunning star blanet. I really enjoyed listening to your commentary and following the instructions to make this gorgeous blanket. Awesome!!

[@deborahm4484]

Hi fibre. Spider I.know this is an older video. But I had to. Tell you I made lots.of them and gave to charity so well received all thanks to you.. 😊😊😊

[@KayCooperfromCooperBears11]

Love hearing you chat it’s calming and welcoming like a hug

[@those_eyes]

Fiber Spider, you are a wonderful teacher. You are very thorough.

[@cheriblevins8149]

I just found this pattern and although I can read patterns this had me wanting to pull my hair out. Thank you for making it easy and stopping me from throwing gasoline and a match on it. You are fantastic or watch and listen to.

[@cynthiaventura360]

It’s definitely not yammering love , I enjoy you talking with us! I know this is a video from a while ago but I’m just watching it! Being new to crochet and all I’m still catching up on things!

[@laurapatterson5925]

I absolutely adore you and your tutorials. I am making this into a baby blanket for my cousin who is due in September. I throughly enjoy ALL your videos and "catching up" with you. Peace and Love to you 💙🧡💜❤🧶

[@margaretadhikari9855]

Hi you are the best teacher on you tube❤ I am starting this blanket immediately.. I have made so many bedslippers that you showed us. Thank you for your patience and good tutorial 💕

[@kathiehughes5026]

This will be my next project after a trip to Michael’s for the latte yarn. Love your tutorials, you’re so thorough and enjoyable. Thanks so much.

[@irenebrugh7564]

It's on sale, have fun.

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Each time I visit your channel I found yet another awesome item to make. Love your style of teaching. I too am hooked on granny’s.

[@angelaboo477]

I have 4 star patterns and all have a weird part (for me, that is) and haven’t finished any of them. I hate frogging my projects. ☹️ I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t watch you start this project. Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! Thank you so much! Super simple and accurate! 🎊 I can’t wait to start and finish a granny star!

[@carlenesherbrooke8599]

I love how you do your patterns and how simple it is to follow.

[@sherryevans709]

Spider you have a special gift !!! you make so many people smile something we need to do more of !!!!

[@deebettis3817]

Your snowflake tutorial turned out so beautifully as coaster, your granny star blanket tutorial turned out perfectly as plate mats to match the coasters. You & your tutorials are beautiful.

[@karensemones9302]

This is the perfect pattern for what I needed now. My Hospice group wants blankets using red, white, and blue yarn. I was going to make the star pattern you made a video of but this one works up quicker. The pattern you provided is in UK crochet terms so her DC is a SC in US crochet terms. She did two rows of SC for a border which would be more solid than a DC border, but I agree with you that it really looks OK without a border. Thanks for another great video and Happy Thanksgiving. I would rather have snow any day than the ice storm we got here in Virginia that broke trees and caused 77% of our area to lose power that will take several days to get restored. Thankfully we were two miles away from the power outage area.

[@maggiecraig646]

I love your tutorial. Your voice is so easy to Listen to and understand. Thank you

[@kelleymaxwell3875]

I wish I could like this video twice! Absolutely adore listening to you "yammering", as your voice is so comforting

[@queenforever6584]

Whether you say round or rows... I find everything sweet of you.... your voice and your laughs....😘

[@cynthiatimme2987]

I too love the granny stitch! I only chained one between clusters on round 7 where you make the decrease. So far it's turning out great. Thanks for all you do❣

[@gerrieschreurs-scholtens3376]

Just discovered your tutorial. I love it! The granny stitch is my favourite stitch by far. Since I was looking for a star blanket this is perfect! Thank you for the easy to follow tutorial. I enjoyed it very much!

[@jennycohl8401]

This is my go to pattern for gifts. It’s simple and works up fast. I made a Queen Sized and now, a baby blanket for my cousin, who’s having a baby shower very soon. Love this pattern. ❤️

[@BUJACHIPA]

How many yards did you use for the queen one?

[@davinianietzefiets3205]

Just started crochet and i like to challenge myself the way you explain it is so easy to follow i just started at this star blanked thank you for explaining and the lovely star

[@suegillham9721]

Clear and helpful as always.......Love Fibre Spider, spent a whole day trying to work out somebody else's version of this pattern yesterday.....unpicked twice and threw away after the third rippled attempt!

[@dianecorderostarke4171]

I've made 2 blankets following ur pattern, thank u....I love this design, absolutely easy n beautiful in any color.

[@lelayancy713]

Could I as you a question? After round 7, after the points do you put a cluster in each valley or skip every other valley?

[@BernardAcree]

@@lelayancy713 You do 2 rows without any skips and then do a row where you skip the center open space. Just keep repeating those 3 rows remembering to only skip the center space every 3rd row.

[@twinkielight64]

I'm crocheting sling with you, and I got to ta a-dah! At the same time!!! This is going to be so cool! Thank you for going slow enough so that we can keep up!

[@frederikarobinson5446]

thank you mr. fiber spider i love your tutorials and the conversation while teaching

[@Matoaka01]

I have had this on my wishlist playlist for a while and I'm so excited to finally be doing it for a friend of mine as a holiday gift blanket. Doing it as a stash Buster and her favorite colors pink purple and blue. Love ALL your vids, deff need to check out the Audiobooks cuz your voice is Soooo soothing

[@nightowl4137]

I just finished my Granny Star Blanket and it is stunning 😃 Donating it to my local Senior Center 🙋🏼‍♀️ Vickie G

[@euniceblackie6917]

This makes beautiful place mats. Used size 10 thread with 1.5mm hook. Thank you for the lesson.

[@shaysales3025]

I’m a fairly recent subscriber and may I say first…I adore you! Your patterns are so easy to follow and you are just so pleasant to listen to. 68 year old grandma just found the pattern I’m going to make for my granddaughter…I think she will love this “star” . 😊

[@dees769]

2 months later I finished lol,,,,came out so beautiful and this yarn is so soft,,,,hubby claimed it lol,,,looks like I'll be starting another one this weekend for me, stocked up on latte cakes before they stopped selling them at Michael's. Thsnk you for sharing this,,,you made it so easy to follow!!🤗👍💖

[@debidiaz6569]

I love how you explain crochet. I am a huge fan of your tutorials, and I can't wait to try this one. I am hoping you will make a tutorial on the beautiful Braided Cowl that everyone is so crazy about. LOL just because you explain the process so much better than others do LOL .

[@grayscreations7004]

Debi Diaz, I agree 💯% with you!

[@debbierawson6583]

Me too I would love to try the braided cowl xx

[@kayceegreer4418]

Braided cowl? I'm in!

[@lesleydudley7525]

You are so good to watch your instructions are so clear can’t wait to get started on my granny star blanket

[@beckysander6876]

You are extremely easy to follow in your tutorials! I love this pattern. Thanks very much!

[@elizabethfox7123]

I join with 1ch 1hdc, it saves slip stitching a cross. Thanks fiber spider love all your tutorials thanks from Scotland

[@lisaheyob951]

I just finish #3 this time i used red heart ombre yarn in the color true blue i used 4 skeins its beautiful thank you fiber spider 🕷 💙

[@TheDoctorangie]

Love this, thank you so much. I know exactly what fuzzy yarn to use. Stitch markers would help keep track of those valleys.

[@shenandoah1322]

Thank you for these easy to follow directions! I am using Caron Big Cakes for this. Ever since I learned how to crochet the free standing double crochet, I like to use that at the beginning of a new round instead of the chain 3. I was so delighted to discover the free standing double crochet, and it's quite simple to do.

[@sandywhite1550]

Really nice colours in that yarn. I’ll have to look for it at my yarn store. Thanks for the pattern.

[@jenniferburr8288]

This is the perfect pattern to make this fall and winter for my stash busting. Cannot wait to start this one, thank you for your creative mind and the granny stitch.

[@13079sbb]

I absolutely love your tutorials and teaching method!!! I hope you keep making tutorials, we all appreciate you so much!!! Thanks!

[@kkitao217]

I should have known that if someone had a granny star blanket pattern, it would be you! It looks great, and I’m very much looking forward to trying this out!

[@dianeclayton4314]

I love to watch your tutorial videos. You are so easy to follow and you make it fun while learning. Great job.

[@carolyncrozier2158]

I absolutely love Granny Stitch and wanted to do a Star. You are so easy to follow and I can understand you very well. Much love and have an amazing day. 💛💚💙💜

[@nicolacarter5277]

Great pattern! Love latte cakes , used them a lot. They do “shed” a little when washing so wash on their own! I learnt the hard way lol

[@sheilakemp8367]

Thanks

[@Wanday639]

So glad to review this video as I have some Latte yarn that has been waiting for the right pattern! EXCELLENT! 🤩

[@jannetteanderson5068]

I'm using Caron Cakes in Pistachio color & it's turning out amazing. With the long change of colors in between it appears to give it more definition. I also started making another one using Sweet Rolls. I've decided on these 2 I will not be chaining 1 between the clusters as it doesn't leave a big gapping hole & it seems to make a more definite point which I prefer. Totally love it & thanks for another great tutorial.

[@marlenehinder4901]

Thank you for your tips i am going to make my 1st star blanket i have crochet for over 10 years and it nice to get new tips ....

[@annasullivan4946]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! Great tutorial on the round star granny. Watched some others and did not quite feel they were as good as the one you have.

[@quiltnutt]

I just love your videos. I can follow your instructions with ease. Thank you so much

[@jollyjordy1233]

Love the video! The directions are so easy to follow and you go through the whole process. Thanks a bunch my first try on this pattern looks awesome😀😀 thanks to you.

[@karinbingham5470]

Great video. I think it would be great for my niece for Christmas. I think I'll use stitch markers to help remember where the valleys are. Love the colors in that striping yarn. Thank you!

[@dees769]

This is great I just bought a lot of the latte cakes they were on clearance at Michael's so I went a bit crazy lol. I'm going to get started on this,,,thank you so much!!!🤗

[@dees769]

I finished this blanket,,,,it was so easy (because of how you explained it) and fun to make!!!! I'm already on my third lol. Thank you Spider!!!!🤗💖

[@sydneyholcomb8210]

Well Thank you for the granny star. I have made 4 full size ones . I LOVE this pattern .Also liked all your granny tutorials .I watch them all but love the granny also.

Thank you si much for this. This is my Australian open project. Love grannies and tennis

[@janetsolecki3250]

Hello Craig from the UK. I just want to say how thrilled I am to have found this granny stitch star blanket, Ive been looking for one for a while now and this just happened to pop up! Had 3 large Caron Tweed cakes in my stash for ages, wondering what to make with them, well Ive already used one and the blanket is looking lovely. Its a variegated chunky yarn, very soft, in colours of beige, brown, orange and yellow, so nice for the Summer and Autumn. Using a 6.5mm hook and its crocheting up very nicely as the pattern is so easy and quick! Have just joined my second cake as I want to make a decent size blanket. I dont suppose you would consider doing a round granny stitch circle blanket tutorial? Thank you so much for this one, you are a brilliant teacher and I will definitely be making more! 😊

[@deborahm4484]

Hi Janet I agree with you he's fantastic .I would love a round blanket in the granny too.happy crocheting from ireland.we need people like Craig in our world to cheer us .💝💝

[@ljpatterson1]

I love your sample the colours are lovely, I'm making a blanket using Bernat super value big stripes in the colour Berry Bunch, thank for your tutorials, Have a great day

[@valmays7513]

Looks beautiful in the color you have, working it in red heart heart stripe yarn bright and alternating rows in metallic black

[@cindyleeheyman7299]

This was my first time working with you. I needed a different style. And this is for my autistic grandson as a sensory blanket. And its Oct 10th 2021. This will be a Christmas gift for him. Who taught you to crochet? All others I need to slow the video down. But not for you. I love that you go as fast as me. Lol. I got ahead of you and had to wait for you. Teasing. But you are very good at it. And I did make that dreaded fogging. But I was able to fix it. Now I'm on row 8. And I repeat round 5 again.

[@kathrynamador7652]

How fun! And it is lovely - 8 star blanket. I can hardly wait to get my yarn and get started!

[@jamescostello673]

Thankyou for this tutorial! Love the latte cakes, will have to dig out a UFO and try this instead :) in the meantime, using some stranded gradient cotton (changes one thread at a time stuff) and going to make a beautiful tablecloth with this pattern :)

[@mailonez1]

I am also obsessed with the granny stitch and it is my very favorite too. Love your channel and thanks for the easy to follow tutorials. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@sweetredrose02]

[@beccabuckner700]

Aww love all of your tutorials. Very easy to follow. Thank you!!!!

[@cynthiaventura360]

As a newbie crocheter I will say that I enjoy working with the latte cakes it’s not too difficult and I’ve done like 5 shawls with it! For fuzzy yarn 🧶 it’s not bad for a new crocheter!

[@cynthiaventura360]

I love the latte cakes ! I love this blanket! Omg definitely soft yarn ! I can’t wait to try this pattern!

[@angelathompson8058]

Really enjoyed this tutorial. Very easy to follow and very entertaining!!

[@kimberlyburdick4412]

Thank you this. It works up so much faster. I found though that when you do the one group of double crochets and then ch 1, it bunches up alot for me so I put in 2 chs instead and it works up great.

[@charlottebarnes6761]

Thank You you are certainly a great instructor

[@kbraswell7217]

hi i know this vidoe is quite old but i very much enjoyed your “yammering” ❤ it made me feel as if i was hanging out with a friend while crocheting

[@trishbresolin8212]

Oooh it looks so cozy with the latte cakes! So nice!

[@jannetteanderson5068]

It's the Canadian gal. I started 2 of these blankets yesterday as I've never made them before. I'm making these for 2 little girls ages 2 & 4 yrs old as they are sisters. I'm not making it very big but big enough for them to snuggle under as I will be turning them into loveys. I purchased little soft stuffed toys vice making them & will be attaching them either into the middle or close to one of the points of the stars. They are turning out really cute. One I'm using Caron Cakes in Cherry Chip which the colors are various shades of light to dark pink but since it's for a little girl I decided to cut out the dark red & also the reddish brown color as personally in this pattern & for the age of the child these colors just don't seem to go well. The other blanket I'm using RH SS Ombre in Fiushia various shades of pinks & that is gorgeous. I definitely will be making more of these but have decided not to ch 1 where you mention in the tutorial as I feel it will be a bit tighter stitch without it. Love this tutorial as you explain it so well.

[@kellip625]

You are so encouraging!! Thanks for being such a great teacher!!!
