Hi, today I'm going to show you a simple pattern that I actually learned how to do because it was one that I really liked and tell you some of the materials and things that you need to use to complete that. First of all, you can need to get at least the red heart and I got the jumbo yarn. That's basically pretty much about two scains of yarn in one. Otherwise you would have to buy them separate regular skeins and I got a total of four of them which would average out to about six to seven regular skeins of yarn. You also need a crochet hook and scissors and the thing about these hooks also is that the bigger the top of it is the looser your stitch will be and I like using the H or the G stitch with that because I think it makes it a little bit tighter and so that's why I use those stitches but you can use whatever size hook you'd like. And then you start out with a pattern I used two videos. One I was not able to follow at all. The other one showed me a very simple way of doing the stitches with the video and showed me basically hands on what she was doing instead of the individual gentleman that was doing a video. He basically showed a drawing that lost me from the very beginning but I was able to learn to to slip stitch it. I was able these stitches called the double crochet stitch and you go through the first two and then the second loop through the right again and I'm going in the back of the stitch because then it will create a ridge that goes across your material right here is the ridge and when you get they have what's called a peak and a low high and low the peak you put three double crochets in the top and it will peak as you go down you skip two which makes the dip within that so then your stitch will look like this all the way across the pattern. Almost completely finished with the blanket but this is part of the way that is looking right now you can see the highs and the lows you can see a very skipped it shows a pattern down through it. You can use any color yarn you would like I use the multi color because then that way you have to and I don't have to tie off and make sure that I try to find a way to hide the ends of the stitching or anything you can pretty much just embed it within your work but pretty much the blanket is finished and my grandson's gonna be warm this winter so I finally learned how to do a zigzag or what's called the wave stitch as well so I think that it's a pretty easy pattern to follow once you learn how to do it so follow the videos and the links that I provide and you'll be able to pick it up just as easy as I did.
