I love this. Just want to mention that when you say 243 for your longer stripes, you mean 242. if you chain 1 and start in the second chain from the hook, you get 242 stitches. Also, 104 blue stitches plus 138 stripe stitches equals 242 stitches. Great pattern and great tutorial! Thank you@
Thank you! Thank you for pointing that out! I watch my videos before uploading them but somehow I didn't notice this one!! I will make an edit in the description box. Thanks again! 😊
It’s 11:15pm in Mississippi and I want to say that I love your tutorial. I started making a flag for my daughter who has been in the Air Force for close to 11 years and I’m real excited because the pattern is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. I also have a son in the navy for about 12 years and he will get one too. I will be so happy to give the flags to them. Your pattern is so easy to follow which makes me so happy because I love to crochet. God bless you and thank you so much.❤
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it & think it's easy to follow. That was what I was wanting with this video. Bless your son & daughter for their service! They will love the flags.❤️💕
Thank you so much for this video. I have been searching for a pattern to make this and you nailed it. I like to make things for homeless veterans and I will be making these. Truly appreciated
I've finished the flag it's self. It wasn't bad. A little over 2 weeks. Now the ⭐ which I did a few. Not hard at all. Thank you so much ❤️. As soon as I figure out how to send you a picture I will.👍😀
That is great! I'm glad you didn't have any trouble with it. I'd love too see a picture! You can either email me a picture @ (jackielgilbert@yahoo.com) or message me on Intagram @ cherishedmemoriescrochet. For some reason you can't post a photo in the comments here. 😢

Very nice tutorial. Very easy to understand, thank you for sharing. I've been looking for a USA flag for awhile and this looks like something I can do. ❤❤🤍🤍💙💙
While I absolutely love this blanket and appreciate you showing us how to make it, I found the stars were a little too big. Not sure if anyone else had this problem. Anyway, I modified the star by using a magic circle to start, to close up the middle gap, and used 10 half double instead of the 15 double. Then I eliminated the triple on the start points. Also, when doing the start tips, if you also hook the back loop on the chain for the single crochet, it makes the points a little pointier. Found that out by accident 😂

Hi Jackie, I just finished the flag I made for my Army vet son. I remember you said that you put the top row of six stars and then the bottom row. I was wonder ing how you got the spacing right. I want this to turn out right. It took me two and a half weeks to finish the flag and I already have the stars made. Your video is so great. It is easy to follow.
Would like to see a smaller throw in this pattern this one is so big but is beautifull Thank you very much just starting stars hope I can get it right thanks again you are Wonderfull god bless
I've had a lot of people ask questions about sewing the stars on. So I've decided to do a short tutorial on just sewing the stars on. I'm planning on doing it tomorrow. I'll let you know when it's uploaded. 😊
I finally finished my flag. The flag only took two weeks . I got sidetracked with back problems so, I only finished sewing on the star a few days ago. I want to post a picture but don’t know how.
That is awesome! You can't post pictures in the comments. If you're interested & have a FB you could join my FB crochet group & post a picture of it. Here's a link to it. facebook.com/groups/462140782531892/?ref=share_group_link
Do you habe an idea of how translate this into a pillow case? I bought a thin blue line crochet flag pillow case pattern but it is so complicated & hard to understand. The writer of the pattern isn't replying to me on anything & i am so lost. The pillow is supposed to be 12"×16" I'm just not sure how to really scale yours down. Starting to watch your video now so maybe I'll get an idea! :)
My 1st flag I attached them by weaving the yarn. My 2nd flag I used regular sewing thread and it did a lot better. I just picked up the very top of the yarn and it didn't show through the back.
Question… what is the name of the stitch used for the red & white stripes? I’m making this blanket and someone asked me what the name of this stitch is… 🤷🏼♀️. I wasn’t sure. Please let me know. It’s a fun stitch! Thanks!
@@CherishedMemoriesCrochet wonderful, thank you so much! I will be starting on it in 2 weeks and I’ll post a pic once I’m done. It will be a ‘thin blue line’ police flag.
Good evening. I stated my flag following you on March 4, 2024. I have 29 rows to go. Stars I made them this past week. All ready for the flag. I bought invisible thread today. I'll send a complete picture soon. I want to know what did you charge to make this flag? Annette Hilburn.
You're doing great time wise. I bet it's beautiful! I have never sold one before. You can go on Etsy & see what they are charging for them. I'd love to see it finished. 😊
It gives it a raised textured look and feel and also makes it thicker so there are no gaps between the stiches. If you'd rather do all double I see no reason why you couldn't.
How many stars total do I need to make for this blanket? I’m following that tutorial you also shared and I made 15 already. Does it end up being 50? Or less?
I'd love to see it! You can email me at jackielgilbert@yahoo.com or join my FB crochet group & share it there. 🙂 facebook.com/share/8yMMgZfr8bCGAuPS/?mibextid=A7sQZp
I love the pattern. I love the texture. Will soon be attaching the stars. Thank you so much for sharing it. I nervous about adding the stars, but also determined.

@@CherishedMemoriesCrochet really? I found a pattern exactly like this I paid for on Etsy I thought it was yours
@@CherishedMemoriesCrochet but your is just as beautiful. I love your tip on using the sewing thread

Thank you so much! I do have a little smaller flag but it has the chevron pattern. I also have a tutorial for it.
Almost done 2more stripes to go beautifull so far wondering how far apart to sew on stars thank you so much
That's awesome! I have about 3 inches between the side points of the stars.
I found the video on how to sew stars on the flag.
@@GayeWallace-y3f ☺️❤️
I am off my 2 stitches on my long strips. Would you frog it or just deduct by 2 stitches on the other areas?
I would just deduct. As long as it is an even # it will be ok.

If you was to use blanket fuzzy yarn would you double the yarn amount.
I'm not really sure. I would think the thicker the yarn the more you would use.
Do you habe an idea of how translate this into a pillow case? I bought a thin blue line crochet flag pillow case pattern but it is so complicated & hard to understand.

I'm sorry I'm not really sure how to down size it to a pillow.
Could you maybe do a smaller throw
I'm not sure. I'll see what I can do.
Can you tell me how did you put your stars on the blue you so Them down or did you glue them on
My 1st flag I attached them by weaving the yarn. My 2nd flag I used regular sewing thread and it did a lot better. I just picked up the very top of the yarn and it didn't show through the back.
how many skeins of white do i use for the stars out of the five?
You shouldn't have to use more than 1/2 of a skein for the stars.
@@CherishedMemoriesCrochet thank you! :3
@@SoPa-_- You're welcome! 😊
How many rolls in each color
All the information you will need is in the description box. 🙂
Question… what is the name of the stitch used for the red & white stripes? I’m making this blanket and someone asked me what the name of this stitch is… 🤷🏼♀️. I wasn’t sure. Please let me know. It’s a fun stitch! Thanks!
It's called the Lemon Peel Stitch. I agree it is a fun stitch to do. 😊
0:37 I followed this video and for some reason my blanket only ended up being 3 ft wide? Any ideas why? I started with 243 ch
Maybe your tension is to tight. Did you use the same size hook and yarn that I used?
Hello! I’d love to make this! Can you please help me find the written pattern?
I only have notes. I take you step by step in this tudorial. You can make it through my video easily.
@@CherishedMemoriesCrochet wonderful, thank you so much! I will be starting on it in 2 weeks and I’ll post a pic once I’m done. It will be a ‘thin blue line’ police flag.
I can't wait to see it! I hope my tudorial is easy to follow.
@@CherishedMemoriesCrochet wonderful tutorial! Here’s mine so far, no stars yet.
@@CherishedMemoriesCrochet I can’t figure out how to post a picture. I’ll keep trying.
Instead of giving us the number of skeins needed, would you please tell us how many yards of each color is needed? Thanks!
Each skien is 7oz, 364 yds. You will need 1,820 yds each of red & blue & 728 yds of blue.
in using the same stitch how can I make a smaller blanket, do you chain odd numbers?
Yes you chain odd numbers. I also have a little bit smaller flag done in a wavy chevron pattern.
Good evening. I stated my flag following you on March 4, 2024. I have 29 rows to go. Stars I made them this past week. All ready for the flag. I bought invisible thread today.

Annette Hilburn.
You're doing great time wise. I bet it's beautiful! I have never sold one before. You can go on Etsy & see what they are charging for them. I'd love to see it finished. 😊

I'm making the flag and when I looked at the Star tutorial I noticed it was a different size hook. Can you tell me what size was used for the ⭐ flag ?
Of course. I used a 5mm hook for both the flag and stars.
Thank you so much.❤️
Your very welcome! Have fun crocheting the flag!!
How many rows each did you do in the red and white?
I did 10 rows each.
@@CherishedMemoriesCrochet awesome thank you so much. Working right now on a thin red line flag and loved your tutorial.
Your very welcome! Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you loved my tudorial!! ☺️
How many rows are you doing for each red and white row? Is it 3 red, then 3 white? For a total of 10 red with 3 rows and then 10 white with 3 rows?
Why are you alternating from single to double crochet? Why not do all double? Just curious. Thank you
It gives it a raised textured look and feel and also makes it thicker so there are no gaps between the stiches. If you'd rather do all double I see no reason why you couldn't.
It works out beautifully with the alternating stitches. Mine turned out beautiful. Just have to get the stars on.
If I do all double crochet, would I still start with chaining 243?
How many stars total do I need to make for this blanket? I’m following that tutorial you also shared and I made 15 already. Does it end up being 50? Or less?
You should have a total of 50 stars.
Thank you so much!
@@madisonbutkonen3818 You're welcome! 😀
How many total rows of blue? I cant figure that out
You will have 70 rows of blue.
@@CherishedMemoriesCrochet thank you! And those are half double crochet? Are the smaller red and white single double?
@@whitney24100 Your welcome! Yes they are HDC. The strips are SC & DC.
@@CherishedMemoriesCrochet do you know how many rows each for them?
@@whitney24100 10 rows.
How many yards in each skein and is it size 4 yarn worsted weight? These are important to know
Yes it was the size 4 worsted weight & the skeins were 7oz, 364 yards
10:57 I’m a little confused after you finish your third white stripe from the bottom shouldn’t you be starting with the red not the blue?
I was only doing a sample. Around the 7:40 time I explained how many rows to do before you started the blue.
Thank you!!! I will check now -im up too the 3rd row of white so almost there.
I had foot surgery on Friday- i stated this blanket on Sunday - its going fast. This is so beautiful -thank you

Why does pattern consist of single and double crochet, instead of continuing with double crochet.
It adds a beautiful texture & avoids gap spaces.

Ok looks great single and double crochet but I use the blue part also single and double crochet because I tried with half double crochet it shows gap.
Can hot glue the stars
