So, so easy to follow. You are, without a doubt, one of the most underrated crocheters on KZfaq! Thank you so much 🙏😊

That sounds wonderful! Using a size 9 hook should give your project a nice texture and drape. As for the size, it's always a bit of a surprise until you finish and measure. But a common size for a baby blanket is 90 by 90 cm.

Would you please tell me how much yarn I need for a baby blanket as well as the crochet hook size that you used? Thank you very much! Your tutorial is very easy to follow. ❤

@AdoreCreaCrochet 5 сағат бұрын

I'm so glad you found the tutorial easy to follow! 🥰 For a baby blanket, the amount of yarn you'll need and the hook size can vary based on the yarn weight. Here are some general guidelines: Yarn Amount: For a standard baby blanket, you typically need about 800 to 1000 yards of yarn. Crochet Hook Size: The hook size I used is a 4.5mm (US 7) hook, but you should always check the yarn label for the recommended hook size and adjust based on your tension and desired blanket texture. Always make sure to do a gauge swatch to ensure your stitches match your desired outcome. Happy crocheting, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the tutorial! ❤

Thank you for this perfect toturial. Could you suggest me the best yarn thikness and needle size for this baby blanket? :)

@AdoreCreaCrochet 2 ай бұрын

You're welcome! For a baby blanket, you'll want a soft and cozy yarn that's also easy to care for. A light or medium-weight (worsted) yarn is a good choice, such as a yarn labeled as "baby yarn" As for needle size, it depends on the yarn and your personal tension, but typically a US size 7 or 8 (4.5mm-5mm) needle works well with worsted weight yarn. Happy crocheting on your blanket project! 😊👶🧶

I’ve been making a baby blanket with this pattern, it started to bunch up on the ends around row 7 or 8 and I’m not to sure if it’s a trust the process type of thing or if I’ve done something wrong, but it’s like with more rows I add it starts getting very ruffled

@AdoreCreaCrochet 4 ай бұрын

It sounds like you might be experiencing tension issues or unintentional increases in your baby blanket. Here are some common reasons for a project to bunch up or become ruffled, particularly towards the ends: Tension Consistency: Ensure that you maintain a consistent tension throughout your work. If the tension is tighter or looser in certain sections, it can lead to uneven edges. Stitch Count: Double-check your stitch count in each row. Make sure you are following the pattern correctly and not accidentally adding or skipping stitches, especially at the ends. Blocking: Once your baby blanket is finished, you might consider blocking it. Blocking involves wetting the project and shaping it to the correct dimensions. This can help even out stitches and eliminate any unwanted bunching or ruffling. Hook Size: If you notice that your project is getting ruffled, it might be worth checking if you're using the recommended hook size for the yarn and pattern. Using a larger or smaller hook than suggested can affect the drape and tension of your work. Increasing Correctly: If the pattern involves increases, make sure you're placing them in the designated spaces and not inadvertently adding extra stitches. I hope that you find the solution to the problem. Happy crocheting! 🧶

Hi. Why does it curl the bigger you go? Love the pattern

@AdoreCreaCrochet 4 ай бұрын

I'm glad you love the pattern! 🥰 Curling in crochet projects, especially when working in the round, can be a common issue. It's often caused by the tension and stitch combination you're using. Here are a few tips to help reduce or eliminate the curling: Tension: Make sure your tension is consistent throughout your project. If your stitches are too tight, it can cause the work to curl. Try to maintain a relaxed and even tension. Blocking: After completing your project, blocking can help relax the fibers and shape the piece. Wet blocking involves dampening your work and then pinning it into shape, allowing it to dry in the desired form. Hook Size: Experimenting with a larger hook size may also help. A larger hook can create looser stitches, reducing the tendency to curl. I hope the advice really helps. Happy crocheting! 🧶😊
