Keep watching if you would like to learn
0:02
how to crochet this beautifully textured
0:04
corner to corner baby blanket. So to
0:07
make my blanket I use this style craft
0:10
colorburst doublenit but you can use any
0:13
double net weight yarn you like. I'm
0:15
using a 4.5 mm hook. You're also going
0:18
to need some scissors, a couple of
0:20
stitch markers and a darning needle to
0:21
sew in those ends. Now this tutorial is
0:25
made to accompany the written pattern.
0:27
And the written pattern comes with sizes
0:30
from security blanket up until throw. Um
0:33
so if you need to know all the details
0:36
from um how much yarn you'll need for
0:38
each size and all of the different
0:40
sizes, then please refer to the written
0:42
pattern. So I'm going to start by
0:45
putting a slip knot on my hook
0:50
and I'm going to chain four. That's one,
0:53
two, three,
0:56
four. Now, we're going to start by
0:58
working into this first chain.
1:00
So, I'm going to put a single crochet in
1:02
there,
1:11
chain one, and then a double crochet
1:14
into that same stitch.
1:21
And that's our far our first row. So,
1:24
we're now going to chain three and turn.
1:30
And we're now going to work into the
1:31
space between that double crochet and
1:34
the single crochet. So, you've got that
1:36
chain one space just here. And we're
1:38
going to go in with single crochet into
1:40
that space.
1:43
Chain one and a double crochet into that
1:46
same space.
1:50
And we're now going to work into that
1:52
chain three space. That's the chain
1:54
three from the last row. So, we're going
1:57
to put single crochet in there,
2:01
chain one, and a double crochet.
2:07
And that's our second row finished.
2:09
We're going to chain three
2:12
and turn. And again, we're looking for
2:15
that chain one space. We're going to put
2:17
a single crochet in there.
2:20
chain one and a double crochet.
2:28
We're going to look for the next chain
2:30
one space, which is here. You can see
2:33
between the double crochet and the
2:34
single crochet. So, we're going to put a
2:37
single crochet in there. Chain one
2:41
and a double crochet. This is such an
2:43
easy pattern repeat to remember. And now
2:46
we're looking for that chain space at
2:47
the end. So, we're going to put a single
2:50
crochet in there,
2:52
chain one, and a double crochet
2:57
and chain three
2:59
and turn. And then we're going to do
3:02
that all over again. We're just going to
3:03
keep repeating that. So, look for that
3:04
first chain space, put single crochet in
3:07
there, chain one,
3:11
double crochet,
3:14
look for the next chain space. So you're
3:16
always looking between the single
3:18
crochet and the double crochet for that
3:19
chain one space. And we're going to go
3:21
right in there with single crochet,
3:24
chain one, and a double crochet.
3:27
And then we look for the next chain one
3:29
space.
3:31
And we're going to do exactly the same.
3:32
Single crochet, chain one, double
3:35
crochet. And then when you get to the
3:37
end of the row, you're looking for that
3:38
chain space. So we're going to put a
3:40
single crochet in there. Chain one and a
3:44
double crochet.
3:48
And then you're going to chain three
3:51
and turn. And you're just going to
3:52
repeat that row. And you can see got the
3:55
triangle shape is starting to form
3:57
already.
4:00
So you're just going to keep going until
4:02
the measurement across here. This
4:03
measurement here or here along the right
4:05
angle of the triangle is the measurement
4:08
you're going to need. So you'll just
4:10
keep going until your blanket is as wide
4:12
as you want it to be or until it's the
4:15
size that is recommended in the pattern
4:17
for the size that you're making.
4:20
Now I've gone ahead and added a few more
4:23
rows just so you can see how the blanket
4:25
develops. Now if you want to have an
4:28
idea about what size to make your
4:29
blanket, I have a free resource that you
4:32
can get. It's a PDF download. It's
4:34
absolutely free and it gives you all the
4:36
different sizes for different blankets.
4:38
So, if you would like to get that, just
4:40
keep watching to the end and I'll let
4:41
you know how you can get that at the end
4:42
of the video.
4:44
Right. So, what we're going to do now,
4:45
I'm going to um assume that this is as
4:47
wide as I've got my blanket in this
4:49
small swatch. And we're going to start
4:51
working our decreases.
4:54
So, for our next row, we're going to
4:56
chain two.
4:59
And I'm actually going to pop a stitch
5:00
marker around the chain two
5:04
like so. And this just helps
5:07
to know where you need to put your last
5:09
stitches cuz it gets it gets a little
5:10
bit tricky to see from now on. And we're
5:13
going to turn.
5:16
And just as normal, we're going to look
5:18
for that first chain space.
5:21
And we're going to put a single crochet,
5:24
chain one, and a double crochet.
5:30
And then we're going to carry on across
5:32
as normal. So in each chain space, it's
5:34
a single crochet, chain one,
5:39
double crochet. So you just keep going
5:45
until you get to the end of the row.
5:48
Once you're at the end of the row, I'll
5:49
show you what we're going to do at the
5:52
end.
5:56
[Music]
6:09
So, I'm coming up to the end of the row.
6:11
I've got my last chain one space here
6:13
and then my chain three space. What
6:16
we're going to do is we're going to
6:17
single crochet two together across those
6:19
both spaces. But you want to make this
6:21
um single crochet two together quite
6:23
loose. So, I'm going to put my hook into
6:25
that chain one space, pull up that loop,
6:28
and then put my hook into the chain
6:30
three space and pull up a loop. And then
6:32
loosely, we're just going to finish off
6:35
that single crochet stitch. Then I'm
6:38
going to chain two
6:40
and turn. And I'm going to put stitch
6:43
marker around that chain two again.
6:47
Just like that.
6:49
And turn.
6:52
And now we're going to look for that
6:54
first chain one space, which is here.
6:57
And we're going to put our single
6:58
crochet,
7:00
chain one, double crochet.
7:05
And we're going to continue in each
7:07
chain one space across with our stitch
7:10
pattern
7:12
again until we get to that last chain
7:14
one space.
7:21
Okay. So, come up to this last chain one
7:23
space. And you can see I've got my
7:24
stitch marker here as well. So, this is
7:26
the space where you're going to crochet
7:28
your single two together over this chain
7:31
one space and this space where the
7:33
stitch marker is. So, again, we're just
7:35
going to put my hook in, pull up a loop,
7:38
put my hook into that chain space, pull
7:41
up a loop, and loosely going to yarn
7:43
over and pull through those loops. And
7:45
then chain two for our turning chain.
7:47
And then I'm just going to move that
7:50
stitch marker over to place it around
7:52
that chain two. And then we're going to
7:55
turn and continue with the next row. So
7:57
that last row is a row you're just going
7:58
to keep repeating that now. So I'll show
8:00
you one more time. So we look for that
8:02
first chain one space, single crochet,
8:06
chain one, double crochet.
8:10
And we're going to repeat this across
8:11
the row into every chain one space.
8:26
And here we are at our last chain one
8:28
space. So again, we're going to single
8:30
crochet two together over that chain one
8:32
space
8:34
and that space where we've got our
8:37
stitch marker.
8:39
And you want to do that quite loosely.
8:41
Chain two. Again, we're just going to
8:44
move our stitch marker over around that
8:47
chain two and turn. So, we're just going
8:49
to keep repeating that until you've got
8:50
one chain one space left. So, you go
8:53
ahead and do that and I'll meet you back
8:55
for the last row. I've continued
8:59
decreasing and we're at our last row
9:01
now. So, our first chain space that
9:03
we're going to work into is this one
9:05
here, but this is also the last chain
9:07
space. So, we're going to just do that
9:09
single crochet two together over that
9:11
last chain one space. Oops.
9:15
And that chain space at the end.
9:20
And that's it. So, if you wanted to go
9:22
for a more modern look for your blanket,
9:24
you can just fasten off and weave in
9:26
your ends and leave the blanket um
9:28
without a border. But if you would like
9:30
to, I'm going to show you how to add a
9:32
little shell border onto your blanket.
9:33
I'm just going to remove these stitch
9:34
markers. We don't need those now. So, if
9:37
you're adding a border, you don't need
9:38
to fasten off.
9:41
So, we're just going to chain one to
9:42
start. And then we're going to start
9:45
walking working working across this side
9:47
of our blanket. And we're going to be
9:48
looking for those kind of spaces you get
9:50
at the end of each row. Um, so some of
9:53
them are a little bit harder to see than
9:55
others, but we're going to work into the
9:56
end of each row. So, we're going to
9:58
start by putting a single crochet
10:02
in this first
10:04
space. And then in the next space, we're
10:07
going to put a shell. So, we're going to
10:09
put a double crochet,
10:13
chain one, double crochet,
10:18
chain one, and a double crochet all into
10:21
that same space
10:23
like so. And then in the next space, the
10:27
next row at the edge, we're going to put
10:28
a single crochet
10:31
and then a shell into the next space.
10:34
So that's double crochet,
10:38
chain one, double crochet,
10:42
chain one, and a double crochet.
10:47
And into the next space, a single
10:48
crochet. So you're just going to repeat
10:50
this all the way across the side of your
10:52
blanket.
10:54
[Music]
11:04
And as you come up to the corner, just
11:07
going to put single crochet.
11:09
And then we've got the next space. I'm
11:12
going to put the shell. I don't do
11:13
anything fancy for the corners. I just
11:15
carry on around in the stitch pattern.
11:23
And then as we go around the corner,
11:25
that next space we've got here, going to
11:26
put single crochet in there.
11:29
And then the next space, another shell.
11:42
So, you're just going to keep going
11:43
around all the way around your blanket
11:46
until you get back to the beginning.
11:50
So, I'm just coming up to this last
11:52
corner and I'm going to put a single
11:53
crochet in here. And in that last
11:58
space, we're just going to put our final
12:01
shell.
12:03
It's double crochet, chain one,
12:06
double crochet, chain one, double
12:08
crochet,
12:11
and then we can slip stitch into that
12:12
first single crochet. Now, if you happen
12:14
to have an extra space, don't worry too
12:16
much. just skip over that extra space
12:18
and just join to that first stitch. And
12:21
then you can fasten off and weave in
12:23
your ends. Now, I really do recommend
12:25
blocking your finished blanket. Corner
12:27
to corner projects are notorious for
12:30
sometimes being a little bit wonky. Um,
12:33
and as I said before, if you would like
12:35
