Hooded Baby Blanket
After making the main blanket you make the hood. You make the hood
and attach it to the blanket at the same time. At the end of each row you sl st
the hood to the blanket. This means no sewing later! Lay the hood flat on the
blanket when making the attaching slip stitches to ensure that the hood is
laying neat and flat.

How do I adjust the hood section. I'm making it for a 10 year old
ReplyDeleteTo make the blanket larger, repeat rows 1 and 2 of the blanket instructions until the blanket is the required size. To make the hood larger, follow the hood instructions to row 5, and then repeat rows 4 and 5 until the hood is the size required.
DeleteHow much wool is required for this hooded blanket?
ReplyDeleteWould you consider doing video tutorials sometimes I have problems reading crochet directions.

What is the yardage used?
ReplyDeleteI didn't calculate yardage, sorry.
DeleteWhat type of yarn did you use and what size hook
ReplyDeleteSee instructions above.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Post!Lot of information is helpful in some or the other way.Keep updating cotton baby blankets
ReplyDeleteMy blanket is longer than 28" when counting to 108. I'll reply when I count/measure for 28". It can very well be the yarn I'm using; baby blanket yarn by Bernat I believe.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably because you're using a thicker yarn (I used #4) or a larger hook, or you crochet looser bigger stitches than I do. I crochet quite tightly.
