  • There is instruction on how to make the sample blanket in the background. it's called the Catherine Wheel Stitch

  • Hi Mikey, you may disregard my previous post - no sooner did I finish it then I found the pattern for Catherine's wheel on your video list - Thanks!

  • Glad you found it. :)

  • lol not to be mean or anything but My mom who got me into crochet was saying.

    Why don't you just crochte it normally then turn it the other way xD

    (she likes things when their simple)

  • Your Mother is right... it would be far simpler... but I think people like a challenge. I am not sure I would ever attempt a blanket because it complicates it for really no good reason... Truth is, I can't see myself ever doing a blanket like that.

  • The only way that I could manuver that stitch is to follow you step by step.

  • I was telling one person in a private email about this video. If I were to ever attempt this stitch. I would ensure that I never changed the colour every 3... maybe every 10 would be suffice. Also... I would ensure the colours are more closer to together on the colour wheel.

    It's a tough stitch but a neat new skill!

    THanks for your feedback.

  • hahahahaa ok?

  • Thank you!!! I know this video was put up some time ago, but I have been wracking my brain on how to crochet with two yarns at once, and all other tutorials talked about ending the stitch with the changing color, but no one showed so clearly how the lower yarn is kept inside the stitch you're working on. This was very clear and totally solved my problem! Thank you!

  • Thank you for this video! It has really helped me to be able to switch colors without the constant cutting and tying I was doing!

  • Nice and different. Regards from Ecuador

  • Well other than granny squares but I can't make those lol. I failed miserably like 50 times in a row.

  • wow that was really neat!! It looks a bit complicated but it would pobably be the easiest way to make a checkered blanket right?

  • Hi Mikey, love your blanket in the background - can you share the pattern for that? Thanks for taking the time to post a unique technique - nice to learn new things!
