I followed your tutorial and made a blanket for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift. I’m glad I got the idea to do this in late November because it took me a month to finish. Almost 33 hours of work. Your tutorial was insanely helpful and very easy to follow. Everyone I’ve shown has loved the blanket and says it looks amazing. Thanking you for that

You made this seem so easy. I’m 100% a beginner…just finished a scarf and now I see my next project I want to go. Can’t wait to start it. 😁🙏🏽

I know you advised beginners not to attempt blankets first, but i did lol Your tutorial was super easy to follow along! 100% don’t regret it and looking forward to completing this project! Thank you!!!!

Edit: so I’m a little under half way done. I could’ve finished sooner if I dedicated an hour or so each day but my life is a little hectic now with moving and being pregnant lol Definitely doable in a quicker amount of time!

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.

Just finished my blanket. I used 5 x 223yrds which is 1115 yrds total. I also used a 8mm hook. I am in love with my blanket!
Instead of 74, I did 80 and it is the perfect length and height. QUICK TIP, I know she says go to the second chain hole, but doing that made the first row shorter, so I refused to skip the first and go to the second. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

I have been trying to crochet for SO long and never get past the first step, I found your tutorial and finally finished my first crochet project and it came out GREAT! Thank you so much

This was a really good video on getting started on a blanket. I would recommend using stitch markers on each end of the blanket which helped prevent me from missing stitches on each row. It's also a good idea to measure your chain when you start out because your initial count may not be the same as what is shown in the video (will be different depending on the yarn you are using). I had to restart a couple times and it seemed that 90 chains was better in the end for the type of yarn I was using.

I’m a complete beginner- granny squares are lost on me tbh ! This is such an easy to follow video and I can actually go faster than other videos I’ve watched ! I’m excited to see what my blanket will look like once it’s done ❤

[emilywildman]

First time crocheting and got to say that this tutorial is so easy to follow 😊 (even though I accidentally used too small of yarn and it became a blanket for my puppy 😅) will be using this tutorial again later 💕

My little sister is only 10 and wanted to start crocheting. So my mom took jer to the store to buy the stuff amd while we were there, i got inspired to also start crocheting 😊I love this video! Its has helped sm. This is my very first time doing, what i feel spontaneous lol. Great video ❤❤

[hilmaredupreez]

This has been the best first project for a kid or adult with ADHD everytime you think your gonna get bored or leave it you get to either change the color or you get close to the end of the row ❤ this is the longest I've done a project and everyone with ADHD knows you never finish a project 😂

I just finished this blanket. I used total of 11 Skein. Size L47 x W43 within 12 days.

[ThursdayDog]

You are a great teacher. I followed everything you taught and in 2 weeks I made a blanket!!!! Thank you.

[elsiehahn]

This tutorial is great! I couldn’t find the yarn recommended so I’m using 8 different colors, a few different brands, same size (6), and 100% polyester yarn, and only changing the color when I run out.
They didn’t have the hook size so I bought a 15.75mm and a 10mm. 10mm works great! Even 15mm seems gigantic.
Starting it was extremely difficult as I couldn’t see my stitches and even with multiple tutorials I couldn’t find exactly where to insert my hook. I’ve evened out since.
One skein made 19.5 rows for me.
I’ll update when I finish!

Update: Finished! Took me about 2 weeks. I used 5 full skeins and 8 rows of 3 different colors. It turned out great! Very heavy and thick, and long enough to cover my whole body. Thanks for the tutorial!

[nagelyortiz]

I bought a thick yarn and it wasn’t too flexible to be a blanket so now it is a rug for my room! 💖

[hneeyhw]

I’m a beginner, this is my first attempt at crocheting and I made 2 blankets out of this video. Thank u so much for explaining it so well this was so easy and fun for me

[cameronraiford]

I started crocheting yesterday and I've used this method and got it literally in seconds! It's so easy and beautiful

[WanderingWassoms]

I am a beginner and I just made this blanket. I love it! Only thing I wish I had done different is to have started with a chain of 125 instead of 75, which I feel makes this more like a baby blanket size. I added more rows for additional length as well. Thank you!!

[zooheather]

I am a complete novice, and this is my first real project. I am almost half-way finished, and I started yesterday. Great video, awesome project!
