Shirley's stars look like there crocheted right into the blanket rather than sewn on later like other patterns show.
They are crochets in I could never figure out that part of the pattern
They are beautiful. Thank you for what you do to support our veterans. God Bless you always.
This is just what I want to make for my son. We are British but absolutely love America and it's patriotism. I have bought the American super saver wool and would love you to teach me how to start this amazing blanket. You're a very special woman and you should be proud of yourself. If at anytime you have one to sell I would be most pleased. We were going to move to Florida but things fell through. My son is obsessed with America and this amazing blanket would be so do special!! Thank you for taking the time if you get to read this comment. Peace be with you and all your war veterans!!!
Check American yarn company websites. I believe Red Heart has the pattern I’ve used. If you don’t find it let me know.
i wish you would make a video on step by step how the woman who chrochet the 150 blankets of the flay god bless you
Any free written pattern available by chance
Same with me
@@HrafnNordhri Do you know if there's an instructional video for this pattern? I just dl the pattern guide, but I'm not well versed in reading patterns. I'm more visual.
@@eak0412 Not that I've seen. What is giving you trouble in reading patterns?
There are free flag patterns provided by the yarn companies. I believe Red Heart yarn is where I found mine.
I wish there was step-by-step video on how to make this. Our son is on his first deployment, and I promised him a nice blanket for his rack. I'm searching patriotic crochet blankets, and stumbled across this.
False
You are such a special person. I know that the people lucky enough to receive one are very thankful. My 17 year old grandson saw a viet nam hat on a elderly man in the airport and he walked up to him, shook his hand and thanked him for his service. I was so very proud of him. So many people don't have any respect for veterans and we would not be here if not for the sacrifice that they gave. Thank you for being such a wonderful person, God Bless 💕.
Yes thank you. I would love to have this pattern . It is beautiful and a great piece of work. Good bless you and your family.
God bless her, also she can work so fast!!! Such talent :)
I was going to say almost the same thing. God bless her and I pray her hand function properly all they days of her life.
Is there a tutorial for the stars? I found the pattern but can’t figure out how to even start
Hello, In regard to all the other comments I just want to let people know she doesn’t have the pattern. This is my grandmother and I’ve asked her before and she has told me that she found the pattern when she began making them. Because it’s been almost 20 years she knows it by heart. She does not know where the pattern is or how to find it. I hope you can all find it.
Cool!! Years ago someone gave me a pattern to crochet American flag,. I just started to crochet it ,. Doing the stripes now,.. That's so neat that I came across your podcast,. And seeing you making these beautiful Flag's..😁😊☺️❤️👍💜
That's amazing gift 🎁 you are making for people bless 🙏 you for doing that your just a good hearted woman for doing that I hope people have blessed you for being so kind to others in ur work I'm learning how to do two things which is a shawl and it's coming out really well I been told and the second one is the star ⭐ blanket blanket which I really like to make alot of them and with hats too for the babies when there in the hospital .
Wowww. What a great deed. The American flag is the most beautiful and sacred flag in the world. She is an outstanding lady with a Bug Heart. Good bless you and your family. I am a female Veteran. I did not go to War but I served 6 and half years as WAC Women’s Army Corp. I am so grateful for my years of service. And I love military people. And now I love you for thinking of all the service man and woman. You are a great example of being an American person with love and a great big heart. I want to thank you. I know how to crochet but I have not tackle such a great big beautiful pattern as the flag yet. Thank you for great work and your crochet service.
Shirley, I admire your dedication & wish I could meet u. It would be nice to have someone to chat with while crocheting. I'm impressed at how fast u crochet. I've crocheted since I was 12, now almost 71, & have never crocheted that fast EVER. My neices & one sister are fast too. I find it a bit more relaxing going slow & listening to music. I'm more of a quilter so that could be part of me being slow. I'm such a perfectionist too. And I even get on my own nerves being so picky sometimes...lol. I like doing a variety of crafts (wreath design, rock & tole painting, embroidery, cross stitch & yrs ago did calligraphy & cake decorating, but quilting & crocheting are my fav. Your work is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Have u tried doing a slight wave design for the red & white stripes? I'm doing that for my great-nephews who have served. God bless u for all you've given to those who have served. May u be blessed abundantly. L :)
God bless you Shirley. I have made four american flag blankets and do them a little different every time. My problem is I can’t find a pattern for the size star I want to use. I have never sold any of my flags blankets either, I
just have given them away to friends or family.
Would love to do one. Would you consider doing a video
Bless you for your loving kindness!! ❤🙏❤
I crochet a blue square with granny square stitch then did the stripes with granny stripes then googled for stars
how many squares did you do Cynthia, I want 50 of them and how much space do I leave to fit that in please help
I would love the pattern, is it for sale. The stars are so amazing, love the way this one looks! Just beautiful.
this pattern is on etsy for 1.83 or one pretty close to it.
My landlord would love this Afghan it is totally awesome and amazing and even though I crochet a little .. not near as talented to do something this big .. would love to buy one already made
I would love to know how I can get one of your Afghan my uncle was in the military and I used to sit and listen to his stories all the time time is passed away now but he's in my heart every time I look at the American flag I think of Uncle Joe I am handicapped now and I have a bad shoulder or I would try to crochet so let me know how I can get in touch with
Those are awesome. How many skeins of yarn do you need for one flag?
How many stitches does it take to start to crochet the American Flag & how many rows of each color??
Can you please send me the pattern. I’ve tried looking but can’t find the beautiful pattern you use. I also would like to donate, I took up crocheting during covid. Thank you and God Bless you🥰
I would love to crochet some of these for gifts to give to veterans. Do you think you could make a video showing us how? We could make a lot of veterans happy!
She crochets so fast! She also does beautiful work!

Do you have a video for crocheting the American Flag , if so please let me know
Do you have a video of what you do a little bit slower and how you can do it
That's awesome can I get the pattern thank you for doing that it means slot to us Americans
Can you do a step by step video on how you make stars and how you make them part of the flag
What a heart of gold!
Trish Schmidt nah she's just a bigoted racist who wanted fame and to impress all those men
@@LoveAsianCulture that’s really sad that you have to bring down others that you don’t even know. This comment really hurts me especially since you’re talking about my grandmother. There’s no need for hate here, you’re ruining the mood.
Could you please post the instructions for this
Is the star field granny squares then sewn together? If it is I found same pattern on Etsy for 1.50 but the stars in that pattern too are 6 points and it's because the stars are the middle of the granny square and the only way to do that is to make 6 point star and also the pattern I found is only written for 46 stars .... if you research it at one point the flag only had 46 stars and it also had 6 pointed stars but the pattern is easy to follow
With a Navy veteran husband, a son in the Army, and my job working on Navy ships, I've crocheted many flags for veterans; it depends on the size they want, so my pattern is always different; I crochet my stars, then sew them on; if I do a smaller flag, say for a lapghan, I do a round of stars only, in the colonial flag setting; nice to know there are many who do the same.
Wow that is absolutely beautiful 🇺🇸. Would you consider sharing the pattern or the link for it? I can guarantee I wouldn't be the omly thankful one.
Is there a tutorial on her pattern? I have found other flags but not hers.
They are absolutely Beautiful
This woman makes me feel like I still need help with crocheting
I am making this afghan for my veteran brother in law but having problems with the field of stars and where to crochet to fit it in
Me too and it’s been years and years and my poor nephew has all but given up on the flag 😕

+Maritza1204 I followed this pattern but it only has 46 stars. That lady has 50 stars. Just wondering if there's an additional number of stitches on stripes..
+Jasmin Fuentes, I have no idea, sorry
+Maritza1204 Please make a video! I have such a hard time reading crochet patterns
Yes please make a video. I'm a Vietnam veteran and I love to make this. I have a hard time understanding patterns. I'm self taught and pattern use a lot of terms I don't know. Thanks in advance! :😊
Thank you for finding this pattern, I'm ready to start my next project and this is exactly what I was looking to make. I also have a hard time reading patterns so if you make a video please that would be so helpful
Can you share the pattern? I live in San Antonio Texas lots of military basis.
I want to know how to make them
I don't know if some people may not know this from history books but the American flag was red white and black because the people back then did not have blue dye they only could use black back in the day
So the stars were black ?
People say I crochet fast but that is the fastest I ever saw
Has anyone else made this same pattern ? I’m having trouble assembling the stars the ones in this tutorial help please !!!
I would love the pattern.
