#Color block loopy yarn blanket how to
It’s really super easy! (I made some improvements and a follow-up video that you can see on my how to make a loop yarn baby blanket post.) The best part about it? No knitting needles or crochet hooks required. Anyway, when I saw this super soft loop yarn at the craft store, I was intrigued, and decided to learn how to make a loop yarn blanket. This was before the days of blogging, so I had to figure out how to do it on my own. I obsessively crocheted a baby blanket for him using the only stitch I knew how to do. Actually, that’s not true, there was this one time when I was pregnant with my oldest, and bored out of my mind when I went on maternity leave. Sew in all ends.I’ve always admired knitters and crocheters, but never really took the time to learn. Weave cord through holes in the top of the bag. Draw end through all 3 loops on the crochet hook and pull tight to fasten off. Repeat Row 1 until i-cord is approx 46” long. Insert hook into second dropped loop, yarn over and draw through (3 loops on hook). Insert hook into first dropped loop, yarn over and draw through (2 loops on hook). Yarn over and draw through remaining loop on hook. Hold onto the dropped loops with your non-hook hand so they don’t come undone. Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, yarn over and draw up a loop, insert hook into next ch, yarn over and draw up a loop (3 loops on hook). Sew handle on the back center of the flap with approx a 2.5” space in between each end of the handle.Ĭh 3. *Ch 1, skip 1, sc into the next st repeat from * to end – 26 stsįold in half widthwise and sc edges together, tie off and cut yarn. Row 2 – 10: Ch 2, turn, sc into the first ch 1 space. *Ch 1, skip 1, sc into the next ch repeat from * to end – 26 sts
Pin and sew on and repeat for the other ends of the strap. Line up the straps on the back of either side of the flap. *Ch 1, skip 1, sc into the next st repeat from * to end – 110 stsįold in half widthwise and sc edges together, tie off and cut yarn. Row 2 – 20: Ch 2, turn, sc into the first ch 1 space. *Ch 1, skip 1, sc into the next ch repeat from * to end – 110 sts I lined it up by laying the bag flat and folding up the bottom so I could mark on the top of the bag where to place the flap. Switching between appropriate colors, sc around edges of flap. *Ch 1, skip 1, sc into the next st repeat from * across. *Ch 1, skip 1, sc into the next st repeat from * to end – 46 sts Row 21 – 28: Ch 2, turn, sc into the first ch 1 space.
