Ophelia Talks I started it and it is a really lovely easy to follow pattern with beautiful result. I also am working the Annie shawl. Grandma had the best patterns, yah.
So happy I found this version. I much prefer doing one piece rather than squares and joining. Thank you Anja x
You're welcome!!
I’d just like to say I have been looking forward to this since you talked about last month. Right now I don’t have a lot to look forward to. Thank you so much for this. 🧶❤️

Thank you for watching Patti French ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
Hi lovely colour.
Thank you! 😊 Thanks for watching Suzie Fab ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
Oh so beautiful and calm I dozed off but it is exquisitely done.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching Deborah hamsho ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
I'm enjoying crocheting this blanket. Thank you. My daughter of 28yrs has decided she wants to learn to crochet so we are creating together. Hubby seems happy too! The house is so much quieter when crochet is happening, (except for the odd wee swear word when a stitch too many or a stitch dropped 🤭).
Wonderful!
My first CAL.....I’m very excited to start. I love the design so far.
Have fun! Thanks for watching my video Marion Mathews and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
Another lovely blanket to try and use up my leftover yarn stash
Yes, this would be perfect Jayne, thank you, Anja x
It's my first ever CAL too, and I can't tell you how relieved I am that I have the right numbers! I've recently picked up on crochet after many years and find I struggle to make my counts match the patterns. But this time (so far!) I'm spot on and your instructions have helped me keep to the pattern. I'm looking forward to working on the repeats and seeing the blanket grow over the coming week. Thank you for taking the time to make the pattern and share the crocheting with us!
very welcome!! Thanks for watching my video Christine Howell and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
This would be my favorite CAL. Lovely story behind this blanket. So happy I was able to learn something new. Hope to win the Hiya Hiya set. So I can continue my journey with Anja.
My first CAL, exciting and I love the background music you use 😃
Glad you like it! Thanks for your comment Penny Spearing and keep watching! Anja xxx🌈💕🌈
I had chained 100 in advance, so another 95 + 3 wasn't too difficult. I always find doing that first row into the chain a bit fiddly, but it seemed to go quicker than usual this time. Was still slow compared to your speed Anja. Now that there is more to hold it is going quicker still (for me, that is) and I am now into row 3!
Fabulous! Thanks for watching ! Anja xxx 🌈💕
This is beautiful ❤️
Thank you Jeanette, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks I made a blanket but not with all patterns just first one and it's so lovely
Can't wait to buy yarn in a few weeks when hopefully we won't have a police cerfew anymore. I'll start later but stull it will be a JOY! It's a beautiful blanket. 🌼🌼🌼🌼🌸🌸🌸🌸🍃🍃🍃🍃🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🍃🍃🍃🍃🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

@Dirk Leonard So far, so good.
I have completed part 1 today. I’m using a 3.5 hook, and I’ve just started my 2nd ball and few rows back. I’ve really enjoyed it, and I’m looking forward to the embellishment part on Wednesday.
Sounds great!Thanks for watching! Anja xxx

Finally finished, just in time for the embellishments. After the sixth row I was fine. Crochet 2 rows ripped back 1. Crochet 3 rows rip back 2. For some reason I was anxious. But there it is..... Looking forward till Friday.!!!
Thanks for watching my video Sandra Ficara and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
I love this blanket. I had already started doing it but I am doing it with the small squares in white and 2 shades of grey and a grey fleece throw on the back. I'm nervous about machine sewing on a crocheted project. Maybe I'll just hand sew it. Wish me luck. Such a beautiful blanket.
Sewing machine foot can usually adjust for thickness of fabric, so set it for THICK, Have fleece on bottom and crochet on top and run through slowly.
Great idea! Thanks for watching Kerie Emery ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
Thank you so much! Anja xxx
Enjoying this. Thank you for sharing your family history! FYI: I crocheted 🧶 21 and a half rows with one ball of yarn using a G - 4.0 mm hook. 👍🏻 Love it. Since I’m not on Facebook I will try to send you a photo via email. I am using the yarn colors from your full poncho CAL.
That is awesome!Thanks for watching! Anja xxx
Janet Lepre I’ll probably do your thang instead
joepie we gaan beginnen , groetjes jannie
jaaaaaa!! Eindelijk is het zover! Hoe ver sta je al? Thanks for watching Jannie Bolderdijk ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
@@OpheliaTalks ik wacht al op de volgende week haha
Love the look of this blanket. It worked up quickly and looked stunning.I would love to win the HiyaHiya hook set.
Yay!!!
Thank you for watching Elizabeth Rodriguez ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
A note of caution for those who want to make their blanket larger or smaller!!!!! Although this part of the blanket is a multiple of 8 plus 3 (24 x 8 + 3 = 195) other sections of the blanket MIGHT need a different multiple - still 195 stitches though. Thus there is a possibility that adding or deducting multiples of 8 might not fit other sections!
Indeed, corrections will have to be made! Keep watching ! Anja xxx 🌈💕
Thank you!
Thanks, I am making a smaller version, and wondered what the multiples were as I have had to restart a few times already.
Completely loved this CAL and learned loads along the way, including lots of patience after having to rectify numerous of mistakes, 🙃🤪. Would definitely give it a go again, especially if I won the HiyaHiya giveaway xx
Yaaaaaay ! Xxxx
@Dirk Leonard I will , thankyou x
This is my favorite video because this was my first CAL . I would love to win the HH hooks.
Hi, I want to start this blanket - it’s beautiful, thank you! Would you tell me what the multiple is for this pattern? I’d like to determine the size for mine.
I really, really would love to win the lovely Hiya Hiya Hook set ...and with them i can do another Ode to Anna Blanket! Keeping my fingers crossed!! :)
I am just starting my blanket..had to get xmas presents done first
Thanks for watching my video Robyn Nicklen and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
@@OpheliaTalks up to set 5 of 7...so goung well
@@OpheliaTalks decided not to include the heart so will do 32 tows of v stitch....
I hope to win the Hya Hya hooks. Thanks Anja
I’m gonna do this at New Years when I have the yarn and will use a three mm hook
Thanks for watching my video Heidi C and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
This is my favorite video and my first CAL! I would love to win the hook give away!
Good luck!
Hi Anja. My first CAL and first blanket. Had to redo chain because mine measured 47 inches! I’m using the exact yarn and a 3.5 hook. It’s still longer and chain is too tight compared to next five rows. I think I will begin again. Can I possibly start with less chains? I like my work loose and don’t know what I should do. I just need a little help please. I don’t use Facebook or Twitter.
@Amy Joy I find that using a larger hook for the chain then back down to the regular size for the actual crochet prevents the chain being tighter than the rest of the crochet. i.e. 4.5 mm for the chain and4 mm for the crochet.
Can you teme the yarn type?! Acrylic? Wool?
@@rashmic2204 The yarn Anja uses is 100% Acrylic
Don't worry about it too much, do what you normally do, if it's bigger it's bigger! Thanks for watching Amy Joy ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
@@bethdoughty114 thank you so much❤️👍
What is the multiple for the chain please
I think that’s what I need😊
@@amyjoy3741 @Linda Just A Crochet Sister I think it is 8 + 6
Thanks for watching my video Linda Just A Crochet Sister and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
How many total yards of yarn did the blanket require?
How many yards and what weight of yarn for the main color of blanket please. I would like to give this a try. I’m new to this channel. Thank you in advance.
I hope you found the info you needed, welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching Sabrina Aguilera ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
195 chain….wow
Love this pattern! What is the brand of the yarn you used and what weight is it??
@@KathyDouglass thx so much 😊
Do you think, once this CAL is done, you can show us how to make and attach the squares, instead of making a big afghan in one go? Please?!
Hi Anja, finally got my dk yarn just in time for the CAL. I was able to follow your instructions using a 3.5 mm hook, but my final measurement came out at 44” or 112cm. Do I need to go down to a 3.0mm hook? That would be a tight blanket. Please help!
Kathy D Thank you Kathy. I was going by the measurements on the written pattern that was on the blog, but after watching the video again, I’m on point! Looking good so far! Thanks again!
no worries, keep it as it is, it will be fine! Thanks for watching MSherry ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
If you want to make a small blanket, what is the multiple before adding the 3?
@Barbara Ward My thought is for a multiple of 8 then add another 6
Thanks for watching ! Anja xxx 🌈💕
If you are using a larger yarn and less chains does the foundation chain just have to be an odd number or what is the stitch multiple?

Hoi Anja!
Net de deken opgezet in lichtroze garen van de HEMA. Doet je moeder ook mee? En zo ja, welke kleur gebruikt ze?
Groetjes uit Nederland en een fijn weekend!
Sandra
Hey Sandra, ja ze doet ook mee, en ik kocht SSDK voor haar in cream! Thanks for watching ! Anja xxx 🌈💕
@@OpheliaTalks Dank je voor je antwoord. Cream is ook mooi!
I have to laugh...… three years ago I got cold feet about doing a blanket that called for a chain of 115...….and now I'm going 'yeah, no problem' about doing a chain of 198! And I'm now on row 6!!!!
Practice practice practise!! Well done!!Thanks for watching! Anja xxx 🌈💕

Keep watching ! Anja xxx 🌈💕
I want to follow along!what is a comparable yarn in the U.S.? do you happen to know?
@c m I think a number 3(light) is the closest.
@@bethdoughty114 thank you!
@@KathyDouglass thank you!
Thanks for watching c m ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
Finished 6 rows. My work is 46 inches. Will this be ok?
Personally, I'm not to worried about the measurement, unless it was WILDLY differet.
don't worry, enjoy it! Thanks for watching Amy Joy ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
What is the mu
Hi Anja, I absolutely love this blanket, I would love too make this as a baby's blanket but would like to use finer yarn. Would this work.
I think it could work but would it not be too fine for baby? This is sturdy when they play with it and gives them warmth! Thanks for watching my video Janet Peddie and keep crocheting. Anja x
Hi Anja, I've finished the baby cot blanket I'm very pleased with how it came out. Lots of unpicking and redoing but finally done it. Now I've started a big one for a single bed this too will be for charity. Would of loved to have shown you the end project. Not sure how. Have a great day. I love this pattern. ❤
Very nice . Would really like to do this project . So is DK a light weight yarn . Like a #3 ?
Hi. How much wool will I need please ?
Go to Opheliatalkscrochetwordpress.com for all the Cal details. Lovely site!
Have you found the info? Thanks for watching Cornelia Oberhoffer ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
How would you do it like the other blanket in squares and joining them together
@Colleen Misner I would chain 35 and put a marker in that 35th stitch to mark the corner, then chain a further 3. Total chain would be 38 - 4 repeats of 8 + 6. Proceed as in Anja's tutorial, but only do 17 rows and fasten off. Repeat this for as many squares as required. These squares can be sewn or crocheted together to suit.
Use that other video for this part, and make sure you end with 195 stitches! Thanks for watching ! Anja xxx 🌈💕
hi could y ou please give us instuctions for the block your grandmother made easier to make. many thanks from australia
What if you wanna make a bigger blanket
The multiples are 8+3+3 Thanks for watching my video marie anne dinicola and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
I don’t know if anyone else is having trouble but I am! I ripped it out and I’m on my third try and it’s still not right! 195 stitches plus 3 going to 6th st from hook etc. it’s not right and I’ve counted everything
Karen Koutsoumbaris I would just make it work out... I wouldn’t worry about it ....
Ophelia Talks thankyou
Try placing a stitch marker every 20 chain up to 180 chain, then make another 15 chain to 195 and place a stitch marker to mark the corner. Another 3 chain has now to be made, but place another marker in the second of these three - this will indicate the last stitch of the second row. Once the chain is complete (and you should now have 198 chain) make a double crochet (US terms) in the 6th chain from hook (which is 2 chains to the left of the leftmost stitch marker)
I had the same issue 4 times. I ended up one chain short every time (i had only 96 little spaces instead of 97). I frogged and recounted, used stitch markers etc finally instead of starting over a 5th time i just sortof created a funky extra chain and put my last DC in there. Only I will know that its fudged. It did torment me though lol
I would love to win the Hiya Hiya hook set
Hi. This is my first weekly crochet project. Looking forward to trying it, but can’t find how many balls of yarn are required. Did I miss it? 🙄

Yes, definitely. Multiples of 8+3+3. Thanks for watching my video Kris K and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕

Daha geniş ve uzun yapmak için kaç tane ilmek atmalıyım
Hi @burcusindirgili4642, you need to follow the stitch multiple to work out how many extra you need, and to make it longer, just keep going, add some rows to each week maybe! Thank you, Anja x
