THANK YOU SO MUCH TERESA,!! i just made my first baby blanket for my cousin, and i used your pattern i posted a video response... I love your videos,,, xoxo
I'm a beginner to crocheting ..I usally use the granny sticand basic pattern you are using. I'd like to know if the star stitch is difficult and if you give directions...I would like to make one for my new grand-baby coming!
Thanks for a great instructional video! Love the design and am thrilled I am able to do this. Question: how can I prevent each row from increasing? It seems my borders are not staying straight on the side in which a new color of yarn is added. Help!!!
@bkrosero If you worked the chain to tight in the beginning, your edges may expand. If you are talking about the knots, you may want to consider working an edging to cover the imperfections.
Great tutorial. I've been wanting to use this stitch. I'm making a ROUND potholder. Can I use this stitch? Where should I increase the stitch - on ch1 or 3dc?
@killertiger909 Just make a chain for the width you want. If you end up with an extra amount of chain, you can sew it right in. If the chain won't sew in, you can cut at the furthest point from the edge and unravel the chain, the sew it in. This way you can experiment with different widths without unraveling your first row each time.
In slow motion I can follow and learn what each stitch means...by the way how can I post a short video of my afghan so I can show u what I learn from u????
Wow u are amazing!!!!! When I first showed interest to crochet I was very young. I became very ill and unable to walk due to a foot infection, and since I couldn't walk I decided to learn and so I went to you tube and saw some interesting stitches. I saw this one in particular and follow your instructions, and I had fun and enjoyed it. I started an afghan and I love how is coming along...thanks Theresa u are the greatest since I can't understand reading the patterns with your videos and in slo
I just tried this as a sample and it looks really good, I used 2 colors (hot pink, navy) and they look great together...Now I might have the courage to actually turn it into a baby afghan..
@tjw1963@tjw1963 I sure will! I told my daughter tonight that I wanted her to take a short video of all the samples that I have done from watching your tutorials( she is the one who started me crocheting and when she would get frustrated teaching me, she found your tutorials and the rest is history!) Its really nice to have a hobby you can do with your teenager, its our special time together.
Great tutorial! You give such clear instructions and I especially appreciate the "slow-mo" portions, as they help me make sure I'm getting it right. Thank you for all you do!! :)
Hey Teresa! I love this stitch! I am currently wanting to make a full size afghan with it. I'm estimating I want it to be about 4 x 6 (I have tall people in my family).
My dilemma is... instead of doing three separate colors consecutively... I am using the same color every second row. The colors are Red, Dark Brown, and Cream. So my pattern is going in rows of R, DB, R, C, repeat.
Mother of God, these videos are AMAZINGGGG!!! I was looking for long time! Thank you so much, you have no idea how much you helped me in making my fashion project! Thank you!!!! And I am looking forward to your new videos!
I watched the video and I love the pattern and am ready to begin. I want to make a larger blanket and I originally started with 155 chains (a multiple of 31). I do not really understand the concept of the chain and the multiple. Heeeellllppppp!!!!!!!
@brifar It takes 4 chains for each segment of the pattern. The chains are the foundation. You are working with 4 stitches to create the pattern or design of the afghan.
I'm a new crocheter and I must say this is sooo easy to follow and it crochets up so beautiful! Your instructions are so easy to follow. Thank you so much for taking the time out to show everyone. I, for one, truly appreciate it! I'm almost done with my grand baby's blanket. Thank you again! you're a wonderful teacher and I hope you never stop lol :)
i also wanted to know what would happen if i use 3 ply yarn instead if 4 ply. the yarn i want to use does not come in 4 ply. please help me! thank u! very much looking foward to making this blanket.
thank you so much for your video, i made my sister a baby blanket and this is the first time i held a crochet and yarn, your step by step video made that happen and i am so hooked to it that i am planning to make a shawl for my mom i want to make her a summer breeze shawl can u tell me what kind of yarn should i use and wht pattern you recommend?
@23iffo I would recommend some Caron yarn since it is nice and soft. I have a recent SeaBreeze tutorial that would make a nice rectangle shawl. youtube.com/watch?v=XcP2xjNrdhc
Teresa, is there a border one could/should do on this blanket? I think it looks fine to just end with the last row and all the stripes. I just wondered if you had any ideas on a border. Thanks!!
Thank you for the vido and the pattern I just love this on. You are so hepful just wanted to tell you i have learn how to crochet from you. Thank you so much.
This was so helpful I have not made a blanket in a while and wanted to make one for my friends new baby. This is the exact pattern I was looking for. And being able to see it is easier for me than reading the pattern.
done everything as shown with a great result and a lot of loose color ends hanging on the side, how do we get rid of them without messing it up? thanks so very much for your videos, they have been more than helpful for me :)
Wow! This video is great! I want to try doing it but I was wondering what brand of yarn did you do this with. I was thinking in doing it with the Baby Bernat Sport yarn, is that one good to do this afghan?
Where do you get your hook protectors or grips? I cant find any and it would help to have them for my hands..I have just the metal hooks and after a while of crocheting it hurts.
Your instructions are the best. Thanks for showing the beginning and end of each row and changing yarn color also. SO GOOD!!! Can't wait to get started on this one.
I started this pattern for an afghan. I already did about 4 rows and realized i only was chaining 3 at each end.. is there a way i can correct this, or should I just pull it all out and start over hehe? :D
@nhchicky A chain 3 is not going to affect the outcome. You may find that the chain 3 looks better than the chain 4. If you think it looks alright, there is no need to rip it out.
An estimate would be great using a H hook, just want to make it's large enough for adult, I had stroke and sometimes get a little confused, this pattern calls for multiple of 4
@Gideon1870 A good place to start would be 180-220 chains. Don't worry about any extra chains that you have left over. They can be sewn in between your stitches at the end.
@Gideon1870 I suggest that you crochet a chain to the length you are looking for and go from there. I can give you an estimate but most likely the size outcome is going to be different. This is because each person develops their own unique crochet tension. Then you add in different size yarn and hooks, which is why the outcome can be drastically different from what I give you. I have had the best results crocheting a chain to the width and continue with the length.
Hi! I have been watching your videos for 2 days now! I am a "pro" amateur, meaning I have been crocheting for years, but never out of the basic double crochet afghans as well as granny square quilts. I cant understand patterns as I was never really shown and see you work on screen really helps with the hands on approach! Thanks for everything and keep them coming!
you started the blanket with the end by chaining three, then you eventually chain four, to continue the blanket, do i want to keep chaining three or four?
you started the blanket with the end by chaining three, then you eventually chain four, to continue the blanket, do i want to keep chaining three or four?
@joshkresge Some rows will start with a chain 3, which is what is needed for the step up for the double crochet. Other rows will need a chain 4 which is the step up for the double crochet and chain 1. I do have symbol instructions posted on my crochet blog which will give you a visualization for stitch placement. The link is in the video details below the video.
I'm not really good at reading symbols. I like the videos since I'm a visual learner. Why is it that you don't join the colors with two loops of the old color then finish the stitch with the new? How do you make sure it doesn't unravel when it gets washed? Thanks.
@ladyv65 I Find that adding the slip knot makes it more secure than finishing through the previous colors. You can do it either way. You will need to knot and secure your tails, then sew them in. This will prevent the blanket from coming apart in the wash. It is possible that you tails may come out at a later time, so all you do is sew them back in.
I have been a crocheter since I was about 8 years old, I make blankets and use a ripple or a granny square. I am attemting to learn this pattern, but am perplexed as to why when I chain 31 I end up one stitch short on my 8th set on the example. Can you help.
@tg10270 I have symbol instructions posted on my crochet blog. This may help you determine why you are a stitch short. You can find the link in the video details below the video.
@tjw1963 Thank you. I guess 32 years of crocheting, I can now count. I still had to add an extra chain for 32 to get the 8 sets. My mom was able to do it, but somehow I count different than you and her. I will let you know how I make out with my attempt at the new pattern. Thanks again for your help.
@tjw1963 I just love this stich and like most, I have been working on blankets for years. My children and Grandchildren, mother, and brothers have all gotten a blanket from me with the same ole stich. Either single or popcorn. This is beautiful and working out great. Thank you for the step by step video. i am doing this one now and I just don't know what one to do next. Everything I have wanted to do but the book was so confusing and now I can do all of them. Again, Thank You.I will be very busy
wow, now I truly believe that there is a youtube vid for everything. I haven't crocheted in over 3 years...since I was pregnant with my daughter. I thinkn it's time to take it up again. THanks!!
i'm going to start a blanket w/ this pattern tomorrow :) I've always done the traditional crochet stitch for EVERY blanket i"ve ever made, and now i've decided to branch out into something new and different! I'm excited...your video makes it very easy to figure out and to imitate--thanks!

Hi Teresa love all your videos. I have a question for you. Do you have any video where I can learn how to change the color? With this I mean how to secure the first and how to incorporate the second. In this video it happens to fast that I can not know how you do it. If you have a video already give me the name and I'll seach for it. THANKS!!
@tjw1963 By the way,Iam from Uae and here crochet work is very expensive and I never thought of using it as a homebusiness project. Thanks to God,mom and you Teresa..I'll keep own watching your videos 'cuz alongside as a good project it's kinda become my latest hobby. :-)
@tjw1963 Well, you must've heared that uae's the most richest country but the truth's not everyone's rich here..I come from middle class and most women do crochet here but rich women sell their work expensive but I want to sell a bit cheaper so everyone could buy and demand for more!!
I have a question, in the video you say that your chain is 31 which is 24(multiple of 4) plus 7 chains "required to make up the beginning of the pattern.. so when we choose a size do we also need to add 7 chains? My chain is a 200 link chain (multiple of 4) so do I need to add 7 more chain links to begin? or do I start with my 200? Thanks
I just knew you had to be awesome since we have the same name (and spell it correctly!) Thank you soooo much for posting these videos! They have been so helpful in me learning!!!!
Once again, a new crochet stitch for another scarf for Christmas for the Homeless. Thanks Teresa. I love your videos and I can always refer back to them. >^..^<
I wanted to know what are those rubber holders on the needles you use? and where can i get some? it looks like it relives the pain of too much crocheting!
I don't understand what the multiple numer in crochet means. Is this the number of extra stitches that you would make when beginning stitching a chain stitch? Thank you for being patient to telling me what & how to do "chain 4 (or other numers.)
Thank you so much for another great tutorial! I absolutely love your channel. Any crochet ideas or patterns I look to you first. Keep up the great work! :-)
Since this is my first "big" project, I would like to know how how long the initial first ro
row of chains need to be for this baby afghan....let's say that I want to make a 40 inches long afghan.....Is my first row of chains going to be 50 inches long? Thanks to anyone that answers my question....
@boricua043 The multiple is 4, which means that it takes 4 chains to complete one segment of the pattern stitch. If you want to make a baby afghan, you will crochet between 125-150 chains to start off. Don't work about extra chains left over. You can always sew them in at the end.
I have been saving all the patterns/instructions from Teresa, since I'm a beginner, and I have made a few pretty things, since her explanations are so clear, precise, and the pace is great for anyone that is just starting....
Is there any reason why your use the little grip things?? Does it help in any way because i never thought about using something like that. Also what size hook are you using for this blanket?
Thanks so much for your quick response. How would you recommend I do a border on this blanket then? Does it not need one? I was thinking of just using two colors and then trying to use the white all around the edge for a border. I'm a beginner, so maybe I'll just go border-less.
Teresa - can you make a baby blanket using the Larksfoot Pattern and put a border on it? It looks like this video uses white, light pink and green. Then I watched the whole video and you are only using two colors. What happened to the white? I'm so confused....please help because I just LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! Thanks!!!
@georgeandjordan You can use three or how every many colors your want to use. On the row where I attached the the first color again, you will attach the third color.
teresa me encanta como tejes pero no entiendo mucho el portugues ya e tejido la chaquetita para bebe que se hase con dos paños me quedo linda yo todavia nose usar mucho el conputador por eso no se como tradusir .pero como algo se de crochet no me cuesta tantosi tengo que pasar el video barias beses para ver como se ase una buelta o otro punto pero igual le ago enpeño . gracias rosalia
I am still new to crochet and your videos are just perfect to learn how to crochet! Thank you very much for taking the time to make these videos to share with us!
I was wondering if you have a video showing how to change the colors... I can't seem to catch that process... Other than that, I totally can't wait to get this project underway!! You are a great instructor!! I have been crocheting forever but haven't been able to find anyone to slow down long enough to really teach me any new stitches!! Thank you so much!! So I am really excited to get a new pattern in my afghan assortment!! HAHA Thank you!!
hello im trying to do the first part of the example and i keep comng up with two stictches at the end instead of three what can i be doing wrong please help me
I am in the process of starting this afghan for a baby blanket. Its a very easy pattern. thanks for posting it. Do you have FB? Would like to see some of your work..thanks
hi teacher, i'm frm S'pore. wat a great teacher u r. i had just started learng crochet abt a week ago just by watching yr chanel. mostly flowers. I'm really happy for myself.hee....now i want to try to crochet this afghan.
Nice and easy stitch once you get the pattern but I am unsure what to do with the with the yarn from the changing colors and cut off's? I am a beginnier so I am not sure how to blend them in. Thanks again for the videos.
You have done it again! I am so excited to begin this project! I want to know if is it possible to make it longer for an afgan for an adult. You will probably say "Yes" ! I am trying it out now anyway. I think this will make a great gift for my mother. Thank you so much for being my "crochet mentor"!
This is a very nice pattern, I have been contemplating an afghan for my daughter. I think this stitch will work nicely with the colors that she's chosen. Thank you for this and quite frankly thank you for all that you do. Even though I'm not a beginner crocheter, I am impressed with your knowledge and have picked up quite a few nice ideas and great tips from you.
hello... Im tryng to do this pattern and for some reason i keep coming up with two at the end instead of three. you say to do two double crochet and skip one but it looks to me like you are going into the third stitch. please tell me what im doing wrong. i start out with 31 like you say. YOUR THE BEST BY THE WAY!!!

Hello again
I want to make a 40 X 60 afghan in this larksfoot stitch pattern for my sister.
How many chains would I begin with for this 40 x 60 size afghan??
Thanks
Maria
Gideon1870 1 year ago
@Gideon1870 I suggest that you crochet a chain to the length you are looking for and go from there. I can give you an estimate but most likely the size outcome is going to be different. This is because each person develops their own unique crochet tension. Then you add in different size yarn and hooks, which is why the outcome can be drastically different from what I give you. I have had the best results crocheting a chain to the width and continue with the length.

Hi! I have been watching your videos for 2 days now! I am a "pro" amateur, meaning I have been crocheting for years, but never out of the basic double crochet afghans as well as granny square quilts. I cant understand patterns as I was never really shown and see you work on screen really helps with the hands on approach! Thanks for everything and keep them coming!

you started the blanket with the end by chaining three, then you eventually chain four, to continue the blanket, do i want to keep chaining three or four?

@joshkresge Some rows will start with a chain 3, which is what is needed for the step up for the double crochet. Other rows will need a chain 4 which is the step up for the double crochet and chain 1. I do have symbol instructions posted on my crochet blog which will give you a visualization for stitch placement. The link is in the video details below the video.
tjw1963 1 year ago
I'm not really good at reading symbols. I like the videos since I'm a visual learner. Why is it that you don't join the colors with two loops of the old color then finish the stitch with the new? How do you make sure it doesn't unravel when it gets washed? Thanks.
ladyv65 1 year ago
@ladyv65 I Find that adding the slip knot makes it more secure than finishing through the previous colors. You can do it either way. You will need to knot and secure your tails, then sew them in. This will prevent the blanket from coming apart in the wash. It is possible that you tails may come out at a later time, so all you do is sew them back in.

I have been a crocheter since I was about 8 years old, I make blankets and use a ripple or a granny square. I am attemting to learn this pattern, but am perplexed as to why when I chain 31 I end up one stitch short on my 8th set on the example. Can you help.

@tg10270 I have symbol instructions posted on my crochet blog. This may help you determine why you are a stitch short. You can find the link in the video details below the video.

@tjw1963 Thank you. I guess 32 years of crocheting, I can now count. I still had to add an extra chain for 32 to get the 8 sets. My mom was able to do it, but somehow I count different than you and her. I will let you know how I make out with my attempt at the new pattern. Thanks again for your help.

@tjw1963 I just love this stich and like most, I have been working on blankets for years. My children and Grandchildren, mother, and brothers have all gotten a blanket from me with the same ole stich. Either single or popcorn. This is beautiful and working out great. Thank you for the step by step video. i am doing this one now and I just don't know what one to do next. Everything I have wanted to do but the book was so confusing and now I can do all of them. Again, Thank You.I will be very busy

I have a question, in the video you say that your chain is 31 which is 24(multiple of 4) plus 7 chains "required to make up the beginning of the pattern.. so when we choose a size do we also need to add 7 chains? My chain is a 200 link chain (multiple of 4) so do I need to add 7 more chain links to begin? or do I start with my 200? Thanks

boricua043 1 year ago
@boricua043 The multiple is 4, which means that it takes 4 chains to complete one segment of the pattern stitch. If you want to make a baby afghan, you will crochet between 125-150 chains to start off. Don't work about extra chains left over. You can always sew them in at the end.

Thanks so much for your quick response. How would you recommend I do a border on this blanket then? Does it not need one? I was thinking of just using two colors and then trying to use the white all around the edge for a border. I'm a beginner, so maybe I'll just go border-less.

Teresa - can you make a baby blanket using the Larksfoot Pattern and put a border on it? It looks like this video uses white, light pink and green. Then I watched the whole video and you are only using two colors. What happened to the white? I'm so confused....please help because I just LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! Thanks!!!

@georgeandjordan You can use three or how every many colors your want to use. On the row where I attached the the first color again, you will attach the third color.
