The EASIEST & BEST Crochet Stitch for Chenille Yarn ❤

If you have ever wanted a soft, snuggly, cosy crochet blanket then chenille yarn, velvet yarn or blanket yarns are the best! HOWEVER, they can be difficult yarns to work with so in this video, I will show you the BEST and EASIEST crochet stitch to use with these yarns. I will show you how to crochet between your stitches (so no struggling to find the tops!), how to carry your yarn up the sides to avoid excess shedding of yarn tails AND how to crochet around your finished blanket to prepare for any border you fancy! If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😃See this video on exactly how: 🧶 Yarn & Hook information: YARN IN THUMBNAIL: Ice Yarn Chenille Baby - in shades Baby Grey (the darkest version on the website), Dark Gold and White with a 6mm Hook YARN IN TUTORIAL: Ice Yarn Chenille Baby - in shades Baby Grey (the darkest version on the website) , Dark Gold and Light Grey with a 6mm Hook BUY HERE: USA STITCH TERMS 📌 Video links mentioned: Crochet Camel Stitch Border: *WRITTEN PATTERN FOR FULL BLANKET:* 🕘 TIMESTAMPS - jump to the section you need immediately! 0:00 How to Crochet a Chenille Blanket 0:30 Materials You Will Need 1:17 Crocheting with Chenille Yarn STARTS 5:45 How to Change Colour 6:38 Row 2: Half Double Crochet Between the Stitches (Pattern Repeat Row) 10:11 How to Change Colour 10:52 Recap of Pattern Repeat 12:49 How to Carry the Yarn Up the Side of Your Blanket 13:42 How to Continue (Pattern Repeat Recap) 15:04 Recap of How to Float Your Yarn Up the Side of Your Blanket 16:07 How to End Your Crochet Blanket 17:24 How to Weave in Your Ends 19:09 How to Prepare Your Blanket for a Border 24:05 How to Crochet Down the Side of the Raw Edge of a Blanket ***** 🌸 If you like my content and would like to help support my channel, please consider buying me a coffee.

Simply go to and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed! *How much yarn will I need?* This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you’ll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used! *How many squares do I need for a blanket?* That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀 *Do you have the written pattern?* Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. *All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website* *How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF’s?* Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website. *Can you remake this video so it is slower?* If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: *Why do you use American stitch terminology?* I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my “first language“ so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! _Got a question?
