Hello crocheters. In this video, I'm
0:14
going to give you a pattern tutorial to
0:17
make the Champagne Toast Blanket. And
0:20
for this blanket, I've used a category 5
0:22
yarn. So you get these beautiful big
0:25
bobble stitches that look just so
0:27
dramatic and whimsical. So for this
0:30
particular one, I use the Premier
0:34
uh bamboo chunky, which is the
0:36
anti-pilling yarn. It is wonderfully
0:39
soft. Now, if you want more of a value
0:41
yarn, I'm going to do the tutorial in
0:44
the
0:45
basics chunky, which is, I believe, a
0:49
dollar less perce. when you're making a
0:51
large blanket, that can add up. So, if
0:53
you're watching a budget, I always like
0:55
to give you some budget options for your
0:58
yarn choices.
1:01
And then also, if you look, my border
1:04
kind of frames the bubbles. Doesn't
1:06
compete with it, but it gives you just a
1:08
little bit more of a finished look than
1:10
just a standard single or half double
1:13
crochet simple border. But you do the
1:15
border you like. So, grab your pattern
1:18
and follow along.
1:21
I am using a 6 mm hook for this pattern,
1:27
which seems kind of small for a category
1:30
5, but I tried it with different sizes,
1:32
and the bubbles just did not look very
1:36
attractive with the larger size hook.
1:38
And I still get a nice drape with the 6
1:41
millimeter, believe it or not. So, let
1:43
me pull it uh in my slip knot. And I'm
1:48
going to chain 20.
1:50
for the sample,
1:53
but your chain amount for your different
1:54
sizes is in your pattern.
2:00
Five, six,
2:02
seven.
2:04
Hello, yarn.
2:07
8
2:09
9 10
2:12
11 12 13 14 15
2:19
16
2:20
17 18 19 and 20 stitches.
2:29
Right. Now for row one, I'm going to go
2:31
into the third chain from the hook and
2:33
work a half double crochet across the
2:36
row. So, we've got row one,
2:39
not I'm sorry, chain one, chain two,
2:42
chain three. So, it's that third one I'm
2:45
going to go into and work my half double
2:47
crochet.
2:51
There's one,
2:57
2,
3:01
3.
3:07
Four, five, and so on.
3:34
This is a baby safe blanket. So if you
3:37
want to make a baby blanket with it,
3:40
there are no holes for the little
3:42
fingers and toes to get stuck in.
3:50
All
4:03
right. So, I finished my row. Since we
4:05
skipped the first two stitches, your
4:08
stitch count will now be the starting
4:12
chain minus two stitches. So, for this
4:14
20in chain, I now have 18 stitches.
4:18
So, I'm going to chain two
4:30
and work in the second chain from hook.
4:33
So, that chain two does count as a
4:35
stitch,
4:38
right? So, that was one stitch. This is
4:41
two. Keep working
4:45
across the row.
5:05
All right. So, I'm at the end of the
5:06
row, working in that last stitch, and
5:10
then I'm going to add an extra half
5:13
double crochet in that chain two turn
5:17
space, which is right here.
5:26
Then chain two and turn.
5:42
I'll skip that first stitch.
5:45
Work two half double crochet.
5:48
One,
5:50
two.
5:52
And then I'm going to work the bubble.
5:57
with a treble. So I yarn over twice and
6:00
I'm going to work five of these into the
6:02
next stitch.
6:05
Yarn over, pull through two. Yarn over,
6:07
pull through two. Yarn over, pull
6:10
through two. And that's my treble
6:12
crochet. Yarn over twice. And do it four
6:16
more times.
6:19
Pull through two.
6:22
Pull through two.
6:24
Oops, split my yarn there. And pull
6:27
through two
6:31
again.
6:35
Pull through two.
6:38
This yarn splitting. I've worked this
6:41
yarn once already. I think it got a
6:43
little sensitive
6:46
to splitting.
6:49
Two. Pull through two. And pull through
6:51
two.
6:53
So there I've got three. So I need two
6:56
more.
7:01
Oops.
7:15
And the last one.
7:24
And it should be looking like that.
7:29
And then five half double crochet.
7:33
One
7:37
2
7:42
3
7:45
four
7:47
and five.
7:52
Then another bubble cluster. So yarn
7:55
over twice and work five trebles into
7:58
the next stitch.
8:02
There's one.
8:11
Two.
8:19
Three.
8:34
My yarn split again.
8:37
Four and five.
8:41
Oops.
8:52
1 2 3 4 5 and then five half double
8:57
crochet.
8:59
One.
9:04
2
9:05
3
9:14
4
9:22
five and then the last
9:26
bubble cluster. So you'll see you have
9:29
three stitches left. So we did two half
9:31
double crochet here. And we're going to
9:34
finish with two here. So this last or
9:37
third to the last will be the last
9:39
bubble stitch
9:42
of this row. One.
9:52
Two.
9:56
All right. Okay. So, I've got the two
9:57
stitches left and I'm going to work my
9:59
half double crochet in the last two.
10:10
I keep losing my yarn.
10:13
Here we go.
10:14
There's one half double crochet
10:17
and then
10:21
two
10:22
the top of that chain two stitch
10:27
from the row before or chain two. Yeah.
10:30
And then the additional half double
10:32
crochet into the side. That is that
10:35
chain one space of the chain two stitch.
10:41
Chain two and turn.
10:46
Skip the first stitch and here's that
10:49
that's going to create that chain one
10:50
space. Skip that first stitch and work
10:53
two half double crochet.
10:56
One,
10:58
two. Now two looks like it's going up
11:00
into the
11:03
bubble cluster, but it's not. It's still
11:09
right here. It's going to feel a little
11:10
bit tighter than the others. then are
11:13
going to half double crochet five
11:15
together to create that champagne
11:18
bubble. Yarn over, go into the first,
11:22
pick up a loop, pull through two, yarn
11:26
over next,
11:28
pick up a loop, pull through two. Three
11:32
loops on hook again.
11:35
So, we're going to do this through all
11:37
five till we have six loops on the hook.
11:41
and they're going to start slanting
11:42
downwards, but they're still part of the
11:45
bubble.
11:47
There's five loops on hook, which means
11:49
I have one more. It's this last one
11:51
here.
11:54
Yarn over, go in, pull up a loop, pull
11:58
through two, and then I have my six
12:00
loops on hook.
12:03
Yarn over, keep that face down, hook
12:07
down, the tip down, so that you can
12:08
easily go through all of them.
12:11
Do not chain one.
12:14
Yarn over and work your five half double
12:17
crochet. It goes between the bubbles.
12:22
One. Here's two.
12:27
3
12:30
4
12:35
and five.
12:36
It looks like it's going up into the
12:38
bubble, but it's not. It's still your
12:40
half double crochet. Looks like this.
12:43
See on the other side the bubble's
12:44
popping up nicely.
12:49
And we're going to do the half double
12:51
crochet cat hair. Five together again.
12:57
First stitch, pull through two. Yarn
13:00
over, go into the second stitch,
13:04
pull through two. And so on. third
13:07
stitch,
13:11
fourth stitch, and the fifth stitch will
13:14
give us these six loops on the hook.
13:21
Like so.
13:23
Yarn over, pull through all. Do not
13:26
chain one. and go directly into making
13:29
your five half double crochet that goes
13:32
between the bubble.
13:38
Here's four.
13:44
And it looks like so.
13:52
Right. So, I finished my last bubble and
13:55
I'm at the end of the row
13:59
and I'll have two stitches left. So, I'm
14:02
going to work two half double crochet
14:04
into those stitches
14:10
and then the bonus half double crochet
14:13
into that side chain
14:18
from the chain two turn before. We're
14:22
going to do that again. Chain two and
14:23
turn.
14:27
Skip the first.
14:30
And then just work half double crochet
14:32
across.
14:38
You have to kind of turn your work so
14:40
that you can see where those Let me pull
14:42
this out so you can see where those
14:45
stitches are. because the the one from
14:48
the bubble of course is going to look a
14:50
little bit longer, but it's just one
14:52
stitch.
14:55
We change uh we did the half double
14:59
crochet five together, so it created a
15:03
single stitch at the top.
15:07
Just work across
15:10
like so.
15:20
See how big they are? Make big bubbles.
15:33
And you see as you're working, you won't
15:35
even need to refer back to your pattern
15:37
because it's just going to be
15:40
in your memory pretty quickly.
15:45
All right. So, I'm coming to the end of
15:46
the row
15:49
and again work that extra
15:53
half double crochet into the turn chain
15:56
space. Chain two,
16:01
turn, skip first, and work half double
16:05
crochet across again.
16:09
So, this is row six.
16:14
And this will give us a nice space
16:16
between our staggered cluster rows.
16:34
Right? So that's how you work the bubble
16:36
stitches. And then you'll see your
16:38
staggering instructions for your next
16:40
row, which is row, what's that? Row
16:43
seven and eight. And then next here in
16:48
the video, I'll show you how I worked up
16:50
the border.
16:54
I've got the pattern linked in the
16:56
description. Please give us a like if
16:58
you're enjoying this type of content and
17:02
this blanket tutorial.
17:04
It helps the channel.
17:09
finish the row. And as always, we work
17:11
that extra bonus stitch into the side.
17:15
That is for balance.
17:49
All right, so let's get started with the
17:51
border on the champagne to blanket. So
17:54
the first thing I've done is make a
17:56
single crochet all the way around as
17:59
just kind of as my setup, which is
18:01
standard. And then I've got, if you look
18:03
closely, I've got the three corner
18:06
stitches here.
18:08
Now for round two,
18:12
I'm going to just keep going
18:18
and I'm going to be doing half double
18:20
crochet now. So switch from that single
18:23
crochet setup and that first stitch of
18:25
the round will be half double crochet.
18:31
you've been working a lot of those in
18:32
the blanket. So, this will be your old
18:35
familiar or if you're using this for a
18:37
different blanket,
18:39
you should be familiar with the half
18:41
double crochet. So, you yarn over, go
18:44
into the stitch to pull up a loop, and
18:47
then pull through all loops on hook, all
18:50
three.
19:01
Now, when you get to your corners at
19:03
round two, look at
19:07
the following. So, here's where I did
19:09
the three single crochet into the corner
19:12
stitch. Here's the top of the first
19:15
stitch, top of the second, top of the
19:18
third.
19:22
I'm going to work in my
19:25
half double crochet as follows. Right,
19:29
let's find again the top.
19:32
One, two, three. So, I'm going to work a
19:34
half double crochet in the first of
19:36
those three.
19:41
Chain two,
19:45
skip the second
19:47
stitch, skip over it, and then work the
19:51
second corner half double crochet into
19:54
that third.
19:56
So you'll have two half double crochet
19:58
and two chain two in your corner.
20:04
And work down the side and do that to
20:06
all of the four corners.
20:13
work a few stitches and I'll go back and
20:15
we'll look at it.
20:23
There's your corner with the space above
20:27
it.
20:31
Right. So, I've made my last
20:35
I've made my last chain one or um sorry,
20:38
chain two corner space worked in that
20:42
final stitch. And now I'm at the start
20:46
of the round. So, the for this round I
20:48
am going to slip stitch.
20:52
Sorry, my landscapers are here. Chain
20:54
one
20:56
and then start working post crochet.
20:59
Now, for this, you will need to be on
21:02
the wrong side of your blanket if you
21:05
have a wrong side. So, the champagne
21:07
toast blanket does have a wrong side.
21:09
The champagne bubbles are on the
21:11
opposite side. So, I'm on the wrong
21:14
side.
21:15
I'm going to start working a single
21:18
crochet
21:20
front post stitch
21:24
into the next. Put the hook in. Push the
21:28
post forward
21:30
and pull up.
21:33
And there's your stitch.
21:39
Like so.
21:42
So, do that along the side and I'll meet
21:45
you at that first intersection corner.
21:54
It's going to look like this.
21:59
All right. So, now I'm coming to the
22:00
corner.
22:02
Let me show you how to work the corners
22:04
for this blanket.
22:07
So, I'm going to keep doing my front
22:10
post single crochet.
22:12
Then, when I get to the corner, so
22:14
that's the chain two corner. Going to
22:17
work a half double crochet into it.
22:23
Then the chain two again.
22:27
and a second half double crochet
22:31
all into that same space.
22:36
Then as I exit,
22:38
I'll start working the front post single
22:41
crochet again.
22:46
Right. So let's look back at it.
22:49
Finish by wrapping and working that
22:51
front post single crochet on that last
22:53
stitch that is going into the
22:57
chain two space corner. Work a half
23:00
double crochet. Chain two. Another chain
23:03
two space. So there's two there. And
23:06
then an additional half double crochet.
23:08
So that's going to be that corner
23:10
increase. Then as you're coming out of
23:12
that corner, you'll just go right back
23:15
into the front post single crochet.
23:30
Right. So, I've finished the round. I
23:32
have my last corner here. So, I'm going
23:35
to slip into that first stitch of the
23:39
round.
23:42
chain one and then we go back to the
23:45
half double crochet. So in that same
23:47
stitch, going to start my half double
23:50
crochet.
23:54
Now look for where you put your hook
23:58
because we want this to be pronounced up
24:01
here. Look for the V. You might have to
24:04
turn it a little bit so that you can see
24:06
the V. So here is the raised edge.
24:12
And this row will really make it pop. So
24:15
I'm finding the V right here.
24:22
My hook in there
24:25
and work the half double crochet. Next
24:30
do a few stitches and then we'll turn
24:32
and look at our progress.
24:54
And this will really make the um nice
24:57
frame for this pattern, the stitch
25:02
with the champagne bubbles being framed
25:04
nicely without competing with it. But I
25:07
wanted something a little more bold than
25:09
just a standard single crochet or a
25:12
double crochet.
25:19
So that's why there's a right side and a
25:21
wrong side with this type of stitch.
25:26
Right? And when I come up to the corner,
25:28
I'm going to work that with you.
25:33
All
25:37
right. So, I'm coming up to a corner
25:40
here.
25:57
Right. So, I've got one more stitch,
25:59
which is this one that's inside the
26:01
corner from the last round. So, make
26:03
sure that I get that.
26:09
I'm going to just double check that I've
26:10
got Where's that chain two?
26:19
These two. Okay. So, I have one more to
26:21
work the top of the stitch here.
26:25
Squeeze it in there.
26:28
And then I'm going to work three half
26:31
double crochet into that chain two space
26:34
so we don't have any buckling with our
26:36
final
26:38
round.
26:42
And then as I exit the space, I'm going
26:45
to find the top of that chain for this
26:47
stitch
26:49
which is here.
27:01
And then keep
27:03
working
27:08
on the back side or on the front I
27:10
should say. It looks like this.
27:16
The very end of the round. And I've
27:17
worked my three half double crochet into
27:20
that chain two space. And all I have to
27:24
do right here, my little uh row join,
27:29
you can just go ahead and slip into that
27:31
top of that stitch,
27:35
the first round, and then you're done.
27:38
Now, if you would like, this is still on
27:41
the wrong side. Let me chain this. You
27:43
can single crochet or
27:47
you can single crochet around or slip
27:50
stitch around. And if you're making a
27:52
larger size, so this is a baby's
27:54
blanket,
27:58
you might want to do an additional half
28:00
double crochet round just so the blanket
28:02
looks a little more balanced for those
28:04
larger sizes. So just whatever your your
28:08
taste is, you can do that and you'll you
28:10
won't lose that kind of framing effect
28:12
of the decorative raised row. And if you
28:17
like it just a little more simple, do it
28:19
just as I've shown you for whichever
28:22
size. But it's your blanket. You make it
28:24
how you like it. I'm just giving you
28:26
some ideas to play around with. And if
28:29
you know you add a little more and you
28:30
don't like it, pull it out.
28:33
Right. Thanks for watching. Give this
28:36
video a like if you enjoyed it. And I
28:38
look forward to seeing you again very
28:41
soon.
