What You Will Learn?

  • Hand crochet has become really popular for a reason — it's a quick way to work giant stitches into all kinds of projects. Here, you'll learn how to form a basic single crochet stitch with your fingers, and use it to make a small lap blanket. .
  • Cara Corey, from Cara Corey Designs, will go over some of the different types of yarn you can use for this project and ways to adapt it to make a larger blanket. .
  • The only material you will need is yarn:.
  • • 6 skeins Loops 'n Threads Cozy Wool yarn, available at Michaels craft stores (Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick 'n Quick yarn and Cascade Magnum Peruvian wool yarn also work well. Look for a yarn marked “super bulky" or “size 6”. ).
  • Note: You can also use a jumbo (size 7) yarn, such as Bernat Mega Bulky. If you use this yarn, you will need 3 of the 64-yard skeins and you will use 1 strand at a time instead of 3. Look for other jumbo yarns in craft stores - they are much more readily available than they used to be. .
