đ„ Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on CZcams yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want đ
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! đ See this video on exactly how: âą How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

I am, by no means, an experienced crocheter, BUT when I watch and copy what you are doing, I am able to crochet whichever stitch or pattern you are presenting to us - without mistakes! You are an excellent instructor, thank you so much for helping me to build on my crocheting confidence!
Comments like this make it all worthwhile! I'm so glad!! Xx đ„°
NĂŁo sei inglĂȘs.....
I agree with you â€ïž
I also agree and appreciate the tutorials, you are a thoughtful teacher toward us as eager learners. Many blessings . . .
You know it looked hard but now I see it is not hard thank you for showing us I love it and I love the color
Youâre so welcome Brenda!đ§¶
Gosh i just love to watch you crochet! Your stitching is so pretty and smooth! Im a weirdo, i know. đ
Thank you so much Amy!đđ§¶
Robin,
This is the first pattern my Grandmother taught me to crochet. She gave me a box of odd yarn. I was quite proud of my first Afghan. It was colorful and a bit wonky!
Your color choices are beautiful. Thanks for the happy memory of my late Grandmother. She is the inspiration for my creative endeavors.
Thanks for sharing.â€
Thank you for explaining everything so well. I am 66 years old, and have crocheted off and on for decades, more off than on. I live your videos and want to try them all. I just need my hubby to find my multiple tubs of yarn, out in our caport that the car can't fit into. We have only been here four years. You inspire me to do more. Thank you!
You are so welcome Bonnie, I hope you find your yarn soon! đ€đ§¶
I AM a seasoned crocheter..but I have to say...I have never used this pattern and you are the ONLY one to explain this stitch where someone can understand it easily. Thanks for the new stitch and your excellent teaching skills!!â€
Thank you so much Linda, I am so glad it helped. đđ§¶
Excellent tutorial. Your camera angle & lighting show precisely where the hook should be placed. This stitch is really easier than it seems from just looking at a completed sample.
Oh definitely!đ Thank you so much for your feedback too, that is so appreciated.
Dear Robin, your way of explaining actually gets processed in my brain! Thank you for making me understand this stitch to have the courage to try it again after many failures!
I found this pattern a little confusing but after watching Robyn's video, it all made sense...she explains in detail. Thank you Robyn. I will continue to follow you.
Awwh, I am so glad my video helped you Sonia.đ€đ„°
I have been looking for this stitch forever! I didn't know what it was called. My grandma made one for my mom over 30 years ago but she has passed away so I couldn't ask her. I'm so happy! Thank you so much! I love your channel and have learned so much from you. â€
Your tutorials, directions for crocheting projects have been fantastic. I have been able to start the foundation chains, and have continued crocheting the project, e.g. Larksfoot Crochet Blanket without frustration or giving up. Your voice is soft, comforting, and you present as extremely patient. Your tutorial/video's have been the best, I have found. Great instructor, Robin. I will continue subscribing to your channel, and enjoy learning new crocheting skills.
Having a go at this pattern now it's very easy to follow thanks robin love your video tutorials â€
Thank you so much Barbara, Iâm glad you like it.đ§¶
Robin, I just started crocheting about 4 months ago and have used your tutorials to make 4 scarves, a blanket, and a shawl. Your way of explaining each stitch, and sharing all of your patterns is so appreciated. Iâve learned so much from you - Iâm truly hooked! 16:16

Hi Jackie. As this video was in 2020, unfortunately that link to the yarn does not work anymore as that shop has stopped selling it. But if you search on google for: Scheepjes Chunky Monkey then some options should come up for different websites you can buy it from. The colours in blanket shown in intro and thumbnail (in order of use)are:
Cardinal
Coral
Deep Orange
Ochre
Mustard
Eucalyptus
Cornflower Blue
Mauve
Amethyst.
I hope that helps. đ€đ§¶
Thank you so much for this easy to follow tutorial!! đ°đ°
Hello, I love watching your videos and I have learned so much by just rewinding repeatedly. Unfortunately, you make it look so easy & perfect and I want mine to look like yours. Perfect! I think I have trouble finding/counting the tops of the stitches to work into. You are a master of the craft. Iâll keep tryingđ.
When I startet crochet I used lots of stitch markers. It really helps to get used to how the top of a stitch looks on a return row! And especially identifying the top of the first stitch of a row, since those always get cramped/yanked sideways.
Using stitch markers helped me so much that I donât use them at all by now, unless I pause working on something. Then I put a little slip of paper with the material and hook size on the marker (just push the marker through the paper) and secure the working yarn with it, before putting it in storage. Those 8 ⏠for a box of 100 colorful stitch markers were a great investment!
Perfect timing! I just started looking for some easy, fast growing patterns to srat msking some baby blankets to donate. This one will definitely be on my list! Thanks Robin đ
đ
Thankyou for a great, easy to follow tutorial! Just started my 1st baby blanket in this stitch and it's so lovely x
Wonderful tutorial. Loved the stitch. Thanks
One of my favorite patterns. Gorgeous!
Thank you! đ
Then again, you have come up with something beautiful! I just love it!
I've always really liked this stitch...I almost feel like it's a "classic" :)
Cannot imagine not referring back to your show. It looks more confusing than the last one. You seem so relaxed doing it. Very pretty. Thanks
When I get some more yarn & needles I'm so trying this pat thanks Ms Robin for sharing đđ
Youâre so welcome! đ€đ§¶
I have wanted to learn this stitch Thankyou â€đ
I loved the look of this stitch! I'm definitely going to try it out đ
Beautiful i love this stitch!
Easy to follow along with you and Iâve got to say Iâve seen this stitch before but I didnât think I liked it because of the colors used to demonstrate it. I know I shouldnât judge a stitch by itâs color but unfortunately I did (do) and yours looks so, so pretty! Iâm excited to use it now! TY for sharingđđđ
I know EXACTLY what you mean - the colours can instantly put you off something for sure! So glad this video didn't have the same effect LOL!
Such a beautiful stitch! I'm gonna try this one. Thank you so much for sharing.đđ take care.
So glad you're going to try it! :D
Loving this. Going to make my mum a blanket for Christmas. Thank you for sharing this lovely pattern.
Youâre so welcome Helen and that sounds like the loveliest present! đđ§¶
Since you taught me the joined double crochet stitch I'm doing this larksfoot with that variation, and it's working very nicely!
Perfect Marialla!đđ
@@HookedbyRobin I have an update:
Having finished my sampler section of larksfoot with joined doubles, I'm left wondering why in row four of the design we create a space mirroring the spaces in row three. My guess is that it's to reduce bulk for the long spike stitch coming in the row above. But my problem was that I had trouble regulating the tension of that spike stitch. The hole wanted to collapse, even though I was drawing up what I thought was a roomy spike.
If I do this pattern again I'll test to see whether more tension on the spike makes a pretty scalloped effect, or whether filling in the holes on row 4 with a continual row of the joined doubles gives better structure.
Your sample was very beautiful! I'm not trying to diss your work. I'm just reporting how it went for me. Thank you again for sharing such beautiful stitches to try!
You're such a âš. I watch your videos everyday and learn a lot. Thanks.

Thank you so much Moipone!đ€đ§¶
I wish I learned this stitch from you instead of a written pattern years ago đ€Šđœââïž. Thanks so much for the video đđŒđđŒđ
LOL Vergie!! đ
Hi Robin, thank you for a brilliant tutorial, always been a knitter and only recently found crochet, I found it very difficult at the beginning as I didnât understand the patterns but watching tutorials seems to help, must be a visual learner, I just finished the Sirdar crochet along for the sweet blossom blanket as my first piece, it took a lot longer than the six weeks but I enjoyed it immensely. Donât think Iâll be picking up my knitting needles for a while, so many new crochet stitches to learn and you make it look so easy, thank youđ
I love how this stich looks using one solid yarn for the first two rows and one variegated.yarn for the other two rows. For exame, I used Buff Chamois as a solid and Platoon as a variegated. I think it looks amazing. The yarns mentioned are from Red Heart Super Saver, which is the acrylic yarn that I use for making throws/afghans. It is affordable and beautiful.
Beautiful yarn patterns
This us amazing!â€â€
I may have to try this!!đ
Nice stitch. Really unique. Tyfs God bless you

I need 2 make this
What a lovely idea! Might have to watch it a dozen times as I'm a rank beginner but I'm game to try it. p.s. I'd give a thousand pounds to have fingernails like yours.
This is so cool I can't wait to start. How much yarn would I need for a blanket I think I will use the rainbow colors as well but don't know how much to purchase
Wow, can I do your hint on weaving in changing colours with this Lark stitch?
Hi,
I love your patterns and have just finished the Bubble Puff blanket and am half way thriugh making a hexagon blanket. Just a quick question. My border is a bit wavy even after I redid it and skipped more stitches to flatten it. I measured the length of the clusters and divided them into the length of the sides and they are ok. So In think I need to block the blanket but I am not sure what is the best way. I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Hi
Love this. Did you use aran or chunky yarn please?
Love this. Sorry if already answered could this stitch work in DK with smaller hooks? Want to use up stash. Blanket for a charity project
Thank you for all you do Your tutorials are the clearest ever and help us to try different projects â€ïž
Yes absolutely! I tend to use a 4mm hook with DK weight yarn đ
Thank you for swift reply. I suppose it will take a bit longer đ
What do you do with the yarn between colors? Do you leave it attached to the yarn skein? Do you cut it then weave in the ends? I am curious about how to do it. Thanks!
