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.

-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.

-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?

-What do you do for a living?

I did after at least 50 try’s. The trick is to talk to the yarn nicely and be calm with the yarn… The yarn will sense your frustration and use it to its advantage

My parents are wondering why I'm sitting at the table, with yarn in my hands, and crying right now.

[gloriafied]

I watched this when I was first starting off and I was so frustrated that I couldn’t get the chain down. I probably watched this 10 times to get it right. Now, a year later I can crochet almost anything! Don’t give up ❤️

[adrien]

i have gained a new respect for crocheters after this.

My grandmother taught me to crochet/sew during summer visits when I was 7 yrs old. I must have been a very patient little girl & her a patient teacher. she made beautiful blankets for the church. Those memories with her have stayed with me all my life.

I've been knitting for most of my life and decided I wanted to learn crochet. After a week of absolutely failing to be able to do a single stitch, I found this tutorial, and I was finally able to make a chain. A million thanks!

This video really helped me learn! My mom doesn’t like to do crafty things, but after watching this she got really interested and started along with me. As I’m writing this, my mom is crocheting next to me :)

[lindapearson]

I used to crochet quite a bit. Never anything “fancy”, only single or double crochet. Anyway, after years of NOT crocheting, I forgot how! I have watched your videos over & over. They are great refreshers. Thank you for sharing these instructions. I really appreciate the absolute “beginner” instructions also. Trust me, I need them! 😊
