I highly recommend trying Tunisian crochet with variegated yarn, for dishcloths. It mixes the colors up and they just shimmer and move in and out of each other, it's fun to make and fun to look at the finished product!

[@miriamjenkins3560]

I have learned simple stitch. Now this is my next one to learn. I'm making a wrap with simple stitch for my cruise. Thank you

I love this stitch. Working on the Quinn blanket right now.

[@ICanCrochetThat]

It's become one of my favorite stitches. :) Happy crocheting!

[@megansulter9804]

Stunning blanket! Thank you for sharing. I would love to see you use the cable because I am busy trying to make a jersey for my 10 year old son and I tried to make one with 40 chains with a normal crochet hook😖

[@MsPandyGirl]

I'm liking your style of teaching . Thank you. New Subscriber here. 😊

[@ICanCrochetThat]

Awesome, thank you so much! :)

[@leoniemarks4594]

Can you please show the back of the blanket as well, so I can see whether I'm doing it right or not. Thanks.

[@sharbear1968]

Beautiful. Saving for future project right now.

[@ICanCrochetThat]

Thank you! :)

[@libbylandscape3560]

Me too! ❤

[@paulalatham1266]

I’m a beginner I’m going to try this after I get my other stuff I’m making done but how do you change colors if you don’t have that kind of yarn

[@nancyfew1375]

Is this the same as the old afghan stitch? I never could get it to work on a regular crochet hook: the stitches at the beginning (right side)of the hook ended up really loose, while the stitches on the left side were too tight. I'd love to do a baby blanklet for my great-grandson in this stitch, but don't think I could get that many loops on one hook. Suggestions?

[@lisatejada7625]

Beautiful!!! How many chains for the blanket

[@ICanCrochetThat]

Thank you! It's 215.

[@evelynbaker6715]

can I use ice cream big scoops for the blanket

[@ICanCrochetThat]

I think that would work! I would do a swatch first though.

[@jessicafreeman4785]

I CANNOT figure out "back bumps"

[@ICanCrochetThat]

Hi Jessica! After you do your chain, turn it over and you'll see the little back bumps. You'll insert your hooks in those and not the chain. I have an up close picture of the back bumps in this post: icancrochetthat.com/tunisian-crochet-rainbow-blanket-pattern/

[@alisonjohnson1701]

Neither can I.

[@ICanCrochetThat]

@@alisonjohnson1701 I show it up close in this video. Hope that helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5KkiZesrd-rnsUsi=IOUmatxsvnQ8eMDA&t=130

[@clarecharlesworth1131]

How many balls of Mandala yarn do you need for rhus camping blanket?

[@ICanCrochetThat]

You'll need 4. Here's the free pattern with all of the details: icancrochetthat.com/no-curl-tunisian-crochet-camping-blanket-pattern/

[@sandrabrown8917]

You can just go into the the chain in the normal way going into the back loop is just. craze I go into the front chain it's works out fine

[@ICanCrochetThat]

Some people hate it so much! I love it and even do this with regular crochet. I know...I'm nuts. :P

[@MsPandyGirl]

I find it easier for me, if I'm going to go thru the back bumps. To use one size hook up from pattern hook. It's easier to thread the back side then. That's my helpful hint, hopefully. 😉

[@ireneadam9495]

Hi how could I do this if my blanket is 110cm wide thanks

[@ICanCrochetThat]

Do you mean with what hook? You'll need a Tunisian crochet hook with a long cable attached. I go in depth here: icancrochetthat.com/best-tunisian-crochet-hooks/

[@janaytaylor2344]

How many chains for the throw blanket

[@ICanCrochetThat]
