3 months ago, I started crocheting again after a 12 year hiatus. I saw this pattern and wouldn't even click on the video because it looked so intimidating. And now that I've gotten myself into a groove, I decided to attempt this for an Heirloom Afghan... I CANNOT put this down!!! Mikey, you have been one of the greatest sources of knowledge and "yarnspiration" in my journey back to crochet. How I lived without it for more than a decade, I just do not know. But I am so grateful to incredible people like you and I absolutely thank you for your teachings!!!
Just finished this blanket for my Nana's 70th birthday. She is the one who taught me out to crochet when I was little. I loved this pattern and was excited to give it to her. She said she has made plenty of blankets for people but no one had ever made one for her. I ended up just making it a lap blanket with about 7-9 balls of Tea Cakes (I lost count). Great video and pattern!
Thank you for inspiring me. I gifted a blanket yesterday made of 12 large squares. 6 were of this pattern in pale grey, dark grey, beige, white and yellow with 6 single colour different designs of squares. I wish I could show you. I’ve shared your video for those that like the blanket.
It sounds amazing. You can always post it on our The Crochet Crowd Stitch Social for show'n tell if you wish. I'm excited about your enthusiasm. facebook.com/groups/TheCrochetCrowdStitchSocial
I’m such an impatient person. I almost gave up because I was getting lost, but I just kept rewinding and stopping and by the sixth row I had gotten the hang of the pattern. You’re a good teacher. Thank you!
I have been crocheting for almost 2 years now. I too can be impatient. Learning to read patterns was a struggle. With pattern reading and this video. Sure did help. Hands on training lo :-) Happy Crocheting!!
@@ricomakeda you can. I've been doing it since he said to slipstitch 7. Just slipstitch into the nearest single crochet or chain. (Should be only one) then follow the pattern set by the row beneath.
Just started the pattern with super saver stripes I am super excited to see how it turns out. Thank u mikey I have been following along with you for many years it is easy to learn from you. My great grandmother taught me how to crochet the basics if she were here today she would have loved this pattern..❤
It’s super easy to follow, thanks for the great explanation. I still can’t believe though how fast you crochet! When I grow up I wanna be so fast too ;-)
Please give a rectangular viersion I made the square one and really love it You are a great teacher and I am really learning from the complete instructions that you give on your videos
I love this pattern! 😍I just started it this afternoon, took a couple video rewinds to get going 🫣 Thank you for you’re easy to follow directions and explaining each step Mikie🧶🧶
Hi Mikey Maria I just want to tell you that I love you Afghan I've made ton of them for a friend of mine I make like two of them a month she gives him out to her family and friends
Love this pattern, Mikey. I decided to finish my edges a little differently, though. I single crocheted one row around where the chain 5s are, trapping them as I went along. Then, I did a row of slip stitch in the back loops. Very pleased with the clean square edge. I plan to add 4 tassels to corners just for fun.
I just finally started this blanket, but realized I bought Caron Big Cakes and not Chunky. I hope it still comes out ok. I am using an H hook that was recommended for the yarn. We will see! Thank you so much for the tutorial!
I used a medium 4 yarn and it turned out beautiful, just a smaller hook and I think it looked better with the smaller hook and yarn, either way it's a beautiful pattern.
I would like to put this out there. Some people have said this is like the beautiful shells blanket when it's not. Bc starting at row 5 it's different, this pattern says slip stitch to the corner & start every round in the corner vs the beautiful shells blanket where you back stitch into the sc from previous row to start the v stitch, which confused me. I've watched a ton of videos in the past few days. Bc my blanket wasn't laying flat following this pattern video alone. Lol but I've come to learn I probably messed up somewhere or my tension was getting looser as it was getting bigger. Lol. Love everything you do Mikey! Recently saw a video & glad to see you're feeling better! Much love from a small town in Western Kentucky.
Hi Mikey this is a lovely pattern which can be adopted to make other projects. I am doing this into a square to fit a square space on a whatnot( a piece of furniture used in Jamaica) 💯🆒
I'm making this for the Dental Resident who has been caring for me for the last year or so. She's graduating dental school and I wanted to say thank you and congrats to her. I bought the Plum Pudding Colorway. I will post a pic when its finished. I hope she will like it.
I find it easier to chain 5 instead of chain 4 in the beginning because it wasn't doing the chain 1 in the beginning when I joined and it confused me. Love it ❤️
Love this pattern! Im using it to make a christmas gift now! I would love to see how to add a border to it (i love the way it looks now, but I would love to spice it up a bit!).
Oh I know this pattern! It is also sometimes called The Beautiful Shells pattern. I found the tutorial for it using cotton yarns a couple of years ago on another youtube channel that I subscribe to. Have a made a few blankets using this pattern. It is great to do when using gradient yarns like caron cakes or others. Or when you combine gradient yarns with matching/complimentary solid colors. Keeps yarn costs down but still creates a stunning blanket.
@Starfire Horizon -Hi there! It turned out really nice actually. I use it when it is chilly outside or in the house and I need a bit of warmth. But don't want to break out my winter lap blanket. Really good for a summer bedcover too. I don't get overheated like I normally do but was still comfortable under it in the air conditioning. I can't sleep without some type of light blanket on me. Worked like a dream. The caron cotton cakes would be perfect for this pattern. Also good for babies and kids blankets too. Definitely recommend the blanket idea with this yarn. :)
Very cool pattern, well explained... Except insisting on starting at the corner, but that's just me. I was looking for something that expands quickly, from the center that will be warm without a lot of gaps. This punches all my tickets. Thanks! I'm looking forward to making it with a few different yarns or perhaps as a rectangle or converting it into a triangle with thin yarn and big hook for a shawl. Very cool adaptable pattern!
This is beautiful!!! I don't have any of the Caron chunky yarn but I do have some Bernat blanket yarn. I've been looking for weeks to find a pattern to use and this is it!!!! Thank you!!!
I had seen this and tried it and got so confused before. But this time for some reason it is so simple and makes sense. I am using red heart grape fizz and love the purples in it. I see anithee couple of these in my futurw
It's a beauty! Can't thank you enough for your effort. Would definitely be making it for my mother in law. The thing is I thought It was Rectangle blanket as shown in the picture, now I realised it's been folded. Can you tell us how to do it rectangular, please. Would love to make one soon.
GORGEOUS! I'm a fan already but this pattern is beyond beautiful! 💖 Thank you, Mikey! Can you give me a teeny bit of advice on how to make it a rectangle? Regardless, I'm very grateful for everything you do for us! You rock!
How to Crochet with The Crochet Crowd That's kind of funny if my memory serves right. It was either Caron Simply Soft 6 oz. or a different brand that had a plum color that was called "Plum Perfect". If it's Caron Simply Soft instead of Premier Eversoft Yarn, it would be "oops! We already named a colorway "Plum Perfect"! I think Yarnspirations has Premier Ever Soft on their site... does that mean....?
On row 5, instead of slip stitching 6 times over the shell, you could just chain 4 and turn your work. Then create the “v” stitches right back into that last SC from the previous round. I like to turn my squares so that both sides look the same.
Turning will not make both sides of this blanket the same, as one of the two pattern repeats is a chain and a v so not distinguishing enough to matter :-( I did not slip stitch 6 times to get into the corner, just joined with a sl st where I was and proceeded from there.
I am wondering if this blanket pattern can be turned into a shawl and if so, can you please provide video of doing this in the middle blanket into a shawl with the same pattern? Thank you for the pattern video and thank you for your time as well.
It make more sense to me to do a couple of slip stitches at the end of the odd rows to finish directly in the corner with a 1ch, sc in the chain 3 space. Then on even rows finishe with the 7dc and slip stitch to the centre sc. 4 ch and continue to complete the corners as before. Because you are then working over the slip stitches with your 7dc on the next round you never notice them . Just a thought since I notice in you tutorials for the rectangle versions that you recommend cutting the yarn and restarting every 2 rounds 😉
I always have trouble finding the written pattern & graphs. Can you please point in the right direction. I love your tutorials, so easy to follow on video.
I love the patience of this video because I can follow and feel confident enough to complete it without your guidance through the end. One question though... can you tell me which exact yarn you use? Because my Afghan appears much weaker while yours looks full and thick:) thanks for the video!
Is this stitch the Bavarian stitch? If so, could you please teach us how to crochet a waistcoat with that stitch? I'll be on to lookout. Many thanks for all your beautiful projects, which are always very well explained.
I like your video a lot better on this pattern it’s explained easier. Can I substitute with Caron Big Cakes I know it takes more yarn but I bought it on sale 6 Cakes in cherry compote .
I'm doing one with the Caron Big Cakes too. I wish I had upped the size of my hook (I used 5 MM). My blanket is very dense and I would like one that breathes a little better. :) I'm making one right after this one so I will see how it goes.
I love this blanket and the yarn is so soft! The one thing I will say is that I think an 8 mm Hook is way too big! I didn't have that size so I started using my k and it looked great but then I had my Catholic guilt and had to go get the proper size. I made the center again and it came out so loose with giant holes so I tore it apart and started with a K again. This is not meant as a correction for anyone of course I'm just saying that for people like me who may be loose crochets, you may need to go down a size or two.!
Love this Blanket I made one for a baby could you let me know what color is this Yarn I love it perfect for a couple that are getting Married in June those are the colors in the bedroom Please let meknow Thankyou
Is this based on the Beautiful Shells stitch by Joanna Martinez? I’ve made several of those afghans. They are fun & beautiful once you get the gist. It also looks a bit like her other two stitches, The Virus Stitch and The Grandmothers
I'm really not sure. There was a pattern done a decade or so that looks like the Virus Stitch that predates the Virus Stitch. So patterns in time morph and resurface. Some of the existing patterns are recorded in the middle of the 19th and 20th centuries that we think are new but are centuries old.
beautiful blanket !!! I'm just trying to do it. Just an answer. if i would do it in "rectangular shape", how do I shall change the pattern ? thanks a lot

Amazing. I love this afghan. I am pretty new, so it is intimidating but I plan to make one in the fall. Thanks so much for sharing your videos.
My pleasure 😊
Best blanket of this pattern tutorial I have seen👏👏

I really like that each row really starts in a different spot.
Rebecca Grimsley why does it do that? Why can’t we just start where we are?
@@ricomakeda you can. I've been doing it since he said to slipstitch 7. Just slipstitch into the nearest single crochet or chain. (Should be only one) then follow the pattern set by the row beneath.
I just bought this yarn in ballet sorbet can’t wait to make this for my granddaughter. Thank you for doing such a great video!
My pleasure. Enjoy your day.

Hi it's Maria again I just want to tell you I'm making this Afghan out of leftover yarn it's coming out beautiful
Wow this pattern is love at first sight!
I saw this video, showed my husband the blanket, and we immediately went out to buy the yarn needed. Thanks for a great tutorial!
Just started this blanket with Mike's help and I love it. Thank you for this awesome tutorial. I am so thankful for this tutorial.
No hablo inglés . Pero mirando lo puede entender , además me gustan sus trabajos.
Perfect marriage of pattern and yarn, this is a must make!
Thanks Mikey, using this tutorial for my next baby blanket. Your a star.
Please give a rectangular viersion
I made the square one and really love it
You are a great teacher and I am really learning from the complete instructions that you give on your videos
That mutation should be simple. Start with a rectangle and work out
Thank you for the tutorial! The written instructions were not clear to me but now I understand
Took this pattern and made a king size spread. Looks pretty good. Thanks!
I love this pattern! 😍I just started it this afternoon, took a couple video rewinds to get going 🫣
Thank you for you’re easy to follow directions and explaining each step Mikie🧶🧶
I actually did a child’s size in Black and Gold it is gorgeous and now I’m making an adult’s size so pretty…..
This stitch/pattern is a lot of fun to do!!
I love this blanket. I’ve made one for a gift and am now going to make another one.
This is an absolutely gorgeous pattern! I love your tutorials Mikey. You are so easy to follow. Thank you!
I just finished this blanket in the 'blue moon' color and I love it! It was fun to make and it looks beautiful!!
Great job!
Ive made so many of these!!!! Community baby shower. Works up quick and looks great Thank you!
I love your tutorials! You've essentially taught me how to crochet
So as I'm watching your tutorial my 6 year old son says "is that guy making this for me" omg lol!!! Love this beautiful Afghan tutorial, thanks Mikey
Amanda Stumbaugh sounds like your son has made a request.

I tried that pattern last yrs but this yrs I understand it more.Beautiful blanket. 💕💕💕💕 I will making it again.
So lovely! Beautiful!
Thank you for making it where we can understand it. You take the time out of your time when you could be with your family. Thank you.

I have just started making this blanket and loving the pattern xx
Absolutely loved doing this blanket, my favourite stitch/blanket ever ! Thank you Mikey x
Starting my second one now.
You make this pattern easy, thanks! I’ll definitely have to make this one 😊
Thank you so very much!! We all appreciate all your hard work!!!!!
Hi Mikey this is a lovely pattern which can be adopted to make other projects. I am doing this into a square to fit a square space on a whatnot( a piece of furniture used in Jamaica) 💯🆒
Thanks for the tutorial. It worked out very well in blanket/chenille yarn. ☺
I'm thinking Bernat Blanket yarn would work nicely - or perhaps Premier Parfait (a bit thinner - but chenille and magically soft).
Such a beautiful pattern... I love it! Making this for my Bestie Friend for Christmas 2021. You are so easy to follow Mikey. Thank you!!
You're a great teacher, thank you! I've been really enjoying learning this pattern.
Beautiful pattern wish there was a rectangle version I've made 6 squares for baby gifts
Noted. I don't have that on hand at the moment. It gives me a goal though.
Very pretty beautiful shells pattern
I know everyone keeps saying it looks like the beautiful shell but it makes me think of the wooleater. I really like this and the colors!
I'm making this for the Dental Resident who has been caring for me for the last year or so. She's graduating dental school and I wanted to say thank you and congrats to her. I bought the Plum Pudding Colorway. I will post a pic when its finished. I hope she will like it.

Name of Yarn for this project was originally called Plum Perfect but has been changed on the label to Plum Pudding. It's the same colour.

Hello
I always have trouble finding the written pattern & graphs. Can you please point in the right direction. I love your tutorials, so easy to follow on video.
If you are meaning for this tutorial, the video descriptions we use for all videos have the link to the referenced materials in it. Does that help?
I love the patience of this video because I can follow and feel confident enough to complete it without your guidance through the end. One question though... can you tell me which exact yarn you use? Because my Afghan appears much weaker while yours looks full and thick:) thanks for the video!
at 15:33 its double crochet, chain one, double crochet. not single crochet, chain one, double crochet. (just in case anyone was confused)
wondering how it would work with sprinkle cakes? I made one for my niece and it came out so cute. i would love to make myself one
You make a great Job 👍
Omg I need to do this pattern and the colors r so pretty!! 😄😍
you are a great teacher
This looks exactly like The Beautiful Shells Afghan
Gorgeous!
Is this stitch the Bavarian stitch? If so, could you please teach us how to crochet a waistcoat with that stitch? I'll be on to lookout. Many thanks for all your beautiful projects, which are always very well explained.
I like your video a lot better on this pattern it’s explained easier. Can I substitute with Caron Big Cakes I know it takes more yarn but I bought it on sale 6 Cakes in cherry compote .
