    //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.
    This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
    -How much yarn do I need?
    Unfortunately, I will be able to answer individuals questions about how much yarn you would used do to multiple factors affecting it. Such as, your tension, the size of hook and the yarn being used.
    -What equipment do you use?

    edit: honestly it didn’t turn out that bad! it has some bumps and it’s a little uneven but for my first blanket, i love it.

    • @statisticallybl
      @statisticallybl Před 6 měsíci +1

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@powellinaALDAYeach blanket I made was a different size, so it’s hard to say. I modified the pattern a bit to make a couple of my blankets a little wider and a little shorter (60 chains wide and about 40 rows). As a beginner, and wanting to take my time since it was a gift and I didn’t want to mess up, each row of 60 chains took about 10 minutes. So 6-7 hours for that size blanket. I think I used about 4 1/2 skeins of bernat blanket yarn.

    If you’re looking for a good beginner video this is the one! I promise. I just made a nice adult sized blanket for my partner and I’m so happy with the results. I took my time with it and followed the directions and it came out beautifully. I wish I could add photos. Thank you for this video and being so clear!

    Currently trying to learn to crochet, noticed my cat took an interest in my soft fuzzy yarn and decided I’m going to try and make him a blanket. This video was so easy to follow but my nails are slightly too long to work with right now so I’ll use it when my nails are shorter. Thank you for having such helpful videos. I’m a very impatient person but your tone of voice helps me relax whilst I’m crocheting. So again, thank you

I chained one and went right back into stitch I finished and I've gotten half a blanket done and it looks amazing and straight edges. I just started crocheting Tuesday! I love this!

    A year ago today I learned to crochet and do many projects by the help of mostly your videos and some others. I wanted to do it so badly at first and assumed there would be no videos on CZcams and That I would have to take classes. I made lots of projects for friends, family and my animals that they love so much. I just want to thank you so much for uploading videos to youtube for everyone to learn. It made me realize how happy and grateful I am for some people who just want to spread information regardless if their is a price on it. I learned so much and I cannot thank you and so many others enough!

      I had to restart 4 times because I was following a book at first, and then when I realized it wasn't working, I saw this video...but I didn't finish watching it, so even though it worked for a good bit, I missed som stuff and yes, had to undo it and start all over again...so it was a total of like 6 times I had to start over again. Once I followed the video almost EXACTLY I didn't have much trouble, and it came out pretty awesome.

    We have washed ours at least 50 times over the past 6 years & they’re still going strong!
    I’ve also used the same yarn to make Adirondack winter hats & we just love love love them!!! So cozy but I love that they are super easy to wash!
