    //FAQs??
    -How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
    This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
    This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
    -How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
    Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.

    I made a mug rug tutorial on my blogspot crochet blog FripperyofJenni awhile back and your tutorial helped me to see what I did wrong. I made the mug rug with stripes and squares. I see now that the mug rug would look better if I dropped the color yarn I am not using when making the squares instead of carrying it through the row. It really helped me get the concept thank you. You can find it on my Pinterest FripperyofJenni.

    I really needed this, I'm making a blanket and I'm nearing the start of the color change row (it's a big square in the middle of the blanket)
    And I have no idea how to change color, especially since it's popcorn stitch, single crochet, and then different color popcorn stitch. Which idek how I'll do that

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  Před rokem

      It's really simple to change colour - as shown in the video you just need to pull through the new colour when making the final part of the last stitch. For the pattern you describe, you'll need to pull through the new colour to complete the single crochet, and then pull through your new colour when working the final part of the popcorn stitch. Instead of cutting your yarn, I would recommend carrying the yarn along by working over it 😊

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  Před rokem

      Before you work a border I would recommend sewing in all your ends as shown in my video here: czcams.com/video/6qXEcQj_0L0/video.html That way you won't have to contend with bits of yarn getting in the way 🥰

    • @bellacococrochet

  • @Jenflower
    @Jenflower Před 3 lety

    Fab video as always! Don't suppose you have a video showing colour change in the middle without having to carry the yarn at all please? I'm making a blanket which is 121 stitches wide and has 3 stars and a moon in random places on it, which i want yellow, but i don't want to carry the yarn through 90 odd stitches to do the next colour change on the next row (really hope this makes sense? 😅) thank you

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  Před 3 lety

      You can change colour in the normal way by pulling through the new colour in the last part of the stitch, but then leave your contrast colour loose instead of carrying it along. When you work back along the row you can pick it back up, but you may not be able to hide the colour change as well as you can by carrying it along 😊

    @luciafurquimxavier3468 Před 10 měsíci +1

    Hello there! I am working on a project with moss stich. The main color is grey. I would like to include a green stripe of two rows just to break the gray. Is there a technique without cuting the grey yarn? There will not be a boarder around it. I am using a 3.0 mm hook.
    Thank you for your attention.

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  Před 10 měsíci

      You can leave your main colour attached and then pick it back up again at the end of your two rows of green, by pulling it through when you make the final part of your last stitch. You would need to work a border (even a really simple border of double crochet stitches) to completely hide the yarn carried up the side though 😊

  • @laurent3415
    @laurent3415 Před 2 lety

    Thank you for the easy tutorial. What's the neatest way to change colors for a hat where the bottom edge will turn up at the bottom? I'm working the rows verticle to make it ribbed instead of spiraling and there will be an alternating color band at the bottom.

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  Před 2 lety

      You're welcome 😊 I think for a hat worked in the way you describe, I would work a simple border of double crochet stitches along the edge. If you have a look at the tapestry crochet technique, you can alternate your two colours as you go. I demonstrate how to work tapestry crochet in my cushion CAL here: czcams.com/video/DN8Yii_w0AA/video.html

    How do you make sure the tail end of the new color doesn't slip back out? I'm having problems with everything being too loose on the colour changes :(

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  Před rokem +1

      It can be tricky to get the hang of at first but the trick is to hold onto the tail end with the hand holding your yarn as you work. Every five or so stitches you can stop crocheting and gently pull on the tail end to make sure it's not too loose and poking out in between the stitches 😊

    Is there any disadvantage to weaving in the ends this way as you work? I’m wondering why this isn’t typically the way it’s done because it seems so much easier.

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  Před rokem +1

      Depending on the stitch you're working, the ends can sometimes be visible if you look really closely when they're weaved in as you go like this. It's down to personal preference whether or not this is something that would bother you, and whether you'd prefer to sew in your ends the traditional way instead 😊

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  Před 3 měsíci

      If you’re pulling through the new yarn as you’re making the last part of the stitch you should find that this doesn’t affect the thickness of the work at all, as you’re not pulling through the old yarn so it’s a single strand still. I do have another technique for changing colours that you might like to have a look at: czcams.com/video/YTZpaLROlCA/video.html 😊

      You're welcome 😊 You should carry across your non working yarn by crocheting over it as you go; once you've finished the contrast colour you can either carry it on to the end of the row or drop it to the back of your work, ready to pick back up again on the following row 😊

    • @bellacococrochet
      @bellacococrochet  Před rokem

      If you're carrying your yarn along and working over it, it's important to give it a little tug every few stitches to keep it nice and taut (but not so hard that it causes the work to bunch up). This will make the colour less noticeable 😊

      I'm sorry that you do not understand the tutorial and find it too fast, have you tried slowing down the video?

    When I want to make something similar, the threads at the bottom become short and the threads at the top become longer. What is the reason? 😢🧶🌝⚘

      It may just be the way you are pulling on the yarn as you crochet; if you hold the back of the threads it helps to keep them the right length 😊
