I made each of my brothers blankets…was trying to find a pattern or do my own until I found yours for my sister. I love this…it’s so understated yet very elegant…thanks you for making my sisters blanket journey easy for me.

So happy you like it! I hope your sister loves her new blanket!

Great tutorial!! I have never done a foundation half double before.Thank you!!!

[@lisahartmann7236]

This is so pretty😍. It looks like a really fun pattern to do, because each row is different. This is something I'll do because it keeps me Interested with each row being different. I get bored easily. 🤣

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Thank you so much! It definitely stays interesting with the different stitches and colors!! So happy you like it!

I am making this now for my full sized bed. Absolutely love it. Thank you so much!!

I've been crocheting for a while but I've always done small projects because of my small attention span 😂 but this video finally swayed me into starting my first ever blanket! I'm on stripe 2 and I'm already in love so thank you so much for sharing!

So happy you're enjoying it! I know how you feel, I don't generally like doing large projects either!

[@irunwithscissors9540]

This is me too! I see so many pretty things I want to make but immediately get overwhelmed. I so appreciate the info at the beginning telling us exactly how much yarn we’ll need and the stitch count for each size! Such a huge help!

Ordered the same colors as your blanket for fall. So beautiful.

[@colettehodges7080]

This is such a pretty blanket - I went up on my crochet hook to make it "drape" more. Instead of the picot stitch I used the bobble stitch as it wasn't "standing out" because of the loose tension.

[@natalieolive9937]

I love this I’m currently working on a blanket for my grandmother with this stitch and I’m just falling in love 😭🙏

[@aprilaiken2364]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I absolutely love this pattern. I've got seven full stripes done and love how its coming out. I am doing mine in four colors(I bought five but when I got them home and layed them all out I didn't feel like one fit well with the others). I'm doing mine in two shades of grey and two shades of purple. I had also never done a foundation row before. I have always started with a chain and then continued on to my first row. I LOVED IT! It was actually very easy. So thank you again for a beautiful pattern that is also a lot of fun to crochet ❤

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

I am so happy you're enjoying the tutorial! It's going to be amazing in grey and purple!

[@lisascountrycreations334]

This is so beautiful. Thanks for making this so easy to understand!! if I decided to mark my first row with chains, is there a multiple or just enough chains to complete my desired width?

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Hi! If you want to start with a regular foundation chain you will chain a multiple of 3 + 1, then for row 1, hdc in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across. Row 1 should have a stitch count that is a multiple of 3. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for the tutorial I am working on my blanket now and it’s coming out great! I was wondering if you had any wash instructions for the blanket? I am using yarn be soft and sleek as well and according their packing it recommends washing cold laying flat to dry, have you experimented with this? Thanks!

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

You're welcome! I have made quite a few things with Yarn Bee Soft and Sleek and it's been find to machine wash gentle cold and put in the dryer on low heat!

I love this pattern, but my foundation row wants to curl? I've pulled it out 3 times now and started over and it's done it every time. Is this normal? Thank you so much for this tutorial! ❤

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Hi! It is normal for your foundation row to curl! It's just because of your tension, but once you start working more rows, it should all even out!

[@dorislemanski1126]

Can I use a light wieght (3) yarn? If so, what size hook? This pattern is absolutely beautiful.

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Yes! You could use a 4mm (G) hook and then work more stitches across and more rows to get the proper sizing. To adjust the width work a multiple of 3 stitches for Row 1 and for the length just repeat the stripes until you reach your desired length.

[@nattiemann9336]

I love this, thankyou for sharing ☺️ It’s going to be my babies first crochet blanket for when it’s born 🥰 What would you recommend size wise for a baby blanket with this pattern? And what colours have you used they’re lovely! X

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

I think a 40x40 blanket would be perfect for baby's first blanket! You'd need to work 120 Stitches across and 16 stripes (96 rows). I used Yarn Bee Soft and Sleek in the colors Linen, Tobacco, Mustard, Ivory, and Spice

[@lindafarebrother957]

Lovely blanket, great tutorial. I would just like to know if it’s a 5.5mm or 6mm needed? 😊

[@robertataggart5989]

I believe she said 5.5

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

5.50mm! or whatever hook size to reach the gauge!

[@helencos8269]

Very nice tutorial! Please tell me something.If we measure with inches we multiply by 3 but if we measure with cm we multiply by 3 again or not? Also it depends from the hook size????

[@sharonwiscombe9183]

can you suggest a border for this one, I absolutely adore this blanket x

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Hi! You can keep it simple with a single crochet border or my current favorite border stitch is the crab stitch! It has a bit more flare and looks really nice!

[@ScarlettPrincessStar]

Idk if you’ll see this since it’s been a year but as a left handed crocheter, would the right side be facing me so I would single crochet into the front loops only for the second row and press the picot stitch towards me instead of away?? Basically everything just backwards?

[@briannawatkins3519]

Also a lefty here, and nope, you would still do back loops as the one farther from you. The difference will just be that your first back loop only row will be worked from left to right instead of right to left.

[@amandaboyce4066]

I started making this blanket over the weekend and I think I’m using the wrong weight yarn because my stripes aren’t as big as yours and the length and width aren’t quite right. I’m going to try to restart it with a bigger hook size to see if I can’t get the dimensions right. I love this pattern though the blanket has a really nice texture to it ❤️

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

What yarn are you using? You may also just have a tighter tension than I do. A bigger hook size should help! So happy you enjoy the pattern!

[@amandaboyce4066]

@@TheTurtleTrunk I’m using I love this yarn. I’m still pretty new to crochet so it’s probably is my tension lol.

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

@@amandaboyce4066 That yarn is the right weight so I think it's your tension too. That's ok though! The larger hook should do the trick. Good luck!

[@kateforster4914]

Hi, I really love this look however before I start I have a question if anyone can help? Is it possible to add a border with all the different stitch combinations around the edges?

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Hi! Yes you can add a border around it using the same stitches!

[@kateforster4914]

@TheTurtleTrunk thank you 😊 I'm a 1/4 of the way through and it's looking great already!

Have you ever done this blanket in a solid color for the whole blanket? If so any pictures. Thanks

[@chantelb9153]

I’m having issues with row 3, I keep ending with a picot stitch for my last stitch, am I supposed to do 2 single crochets at the end instead of one?

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

There should only be 1 SC at the end. For Row 3, make sure after working the 1st PSC you are working 2 SC between each picot stitch. The repeat is *SC, PSC, SC*, so you will work a SC, PSC, SC, SC, PSC, SC, SC, PSC, SC... ect. If you had been doing that, then check to make sure your stitch count is correct, you need a multiple of 3 for the stitches to line up correctly. I hope that makes sense and that this helps!

[@robinsanchez5960]

@@TheTurtleTrunk Im having the same problem. I see this as a 2 repeat stitch - sc psc. if you repeat that across you have an equal number of stitches - which all your starting chains are. But then you need that extra stitch for your last sc otherwise you're ending with a psc.

[@jessicahanson7554]

Can this be done with a regular chain and half double crochet first row? I suck at doing a foundation chain.

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Yes! Just chain one more than the stitch count your size calls for, then HDC in the 2nd CH from the hook and in each chain across, then continue following the pattern from Row 2.

[@briannalahaie986]

Hi there - I am trying this pattern out. Got a few stripes down and it seems much more dense and the stripes seem a bit smaller. I am using a 4 weight yarn and 5.5 crochet hook. Any ideas as to what my mistake is ?

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

It could be your tension is tighter than mine. Here is the gauge pattern if you want to double check: 15 STs x 12 Rows = 5” x 5” If that is the case you can go up a hook size or two!

[@novicealexx9774]

Hi, i am doing the throw blanket size which calls for 144 stitches. For row three my last stitch is a Picot stitch instead of a single crochet. How do i fix this?

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

If your stitch count is 144, you should end on a SC. Double check to make sure you didn't make a mistake with the row 3 repeat. The Row 3 repeat is 3 stitches and 144 is a multiple of 3 so it should work out. Make sure you are repeating *SC, PSC,SC*, meaning after the 1st PSC, there will be 2 SC between each PSC (ex. SC, PSC, SC, SC, PSC, SC, SC, PSC, SC, SC...). Hope that helps!

[@zariahlawson920]

16:42 i need help 😅 my row nine is ending in picot stitch…ive re dont the row multiple times and it still turns out the same..im missing one picot to make the first picot row count match the second picot row if this is making sense…im not sure if i should just start the whole project over or restart the last 2 rows??

[@sharenclarke5388]

Hi I am currently Doing the blanket I would like to do a border for it have you Got any suggestions.

Hi! I think either a simple single crochet border or a picot border would look great!

[@lioness76071]

Would I be able to use DK yarn to make a throw?

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

You absolutely can! You will just need add extra stitches and rows to make up for the size difference

[@zoestonebraker4505]

Can I use a 5 mm hook to make this blanket?

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Hi! Yes you can! It might make your blanket slightly smaller, but it shouldn't make that big of a difference.

[@Giabaybee12]

Do you have a tutorial on how to weave in ends ?

[@zoestonebraker4505]

Following

[@ashleybeerse6299]

How you do your yarn over is backwards for me unless I’ve always been doing it wrong, I never go underneath the way you do and it’s tripping me up

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

You may be yarning under then. When you yarn over you want the yarn to go over the hook, if your yarn is under the hook, that’s a yarn under. If you yarn under it’s not a big deal, the stitch will look slightly different but it doesn’t affect the outcome of the pattern.

[@KNJ20]

I’m not sure how but I lost four stitches so I’m having to start over

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Sometimes it’s easy to miss the first or last stitch in the row. If in doubt count your stitches each row or put a stitch marker in the first and last stitch to be sure not to miss it!

[@marisolcanales881]

Can you start with a chain and then a row of HDC? Instead of doing them together? I can't make it past 24 stitches before losing it and having to take it down

[@TheTurtleTrunk]

Hi! Yes you can do a regular foundation chain then a row of HDC. For your chain, +1 to the total stitch count, then for row 1, HDC in the 2nd chain from the hook, then in each chain across.

[@angelamathis-rhodes3778]

@@TheTurtleTrunk I agree. I’d love a video without doing the stitches together. Thank!
