    Just want to leave a HUGE thank you to Melanie's family for leaving all of her wonderful videos up for us followers to continue to reference! This ripple blanket was the first project I ever completed as a novice crocheter. This would've never been accomplished without Melanie's careful explanation & bright spirit!! She was truly, truly inspiring! She lives on through the beautiful things she created and I am thankful I am still able to learn from her. She will be forever missed.💕

    Who's excited for a new fall crochet project! I've got an easy and adorable fall crochet ripple blanket that goes nice and slow. Great to work on as the evening get chilly, but it doesn't take a ton of brain power - you can watch netflix while you do it ;). If you like it, could you give me a thumbs up? I appreciate you! Happy Stitching!

    Hi Melanie 😃
    Just taking a moment to say thank you! I only watch a few RUclips contributor’s tutorials. One of my first crochet projects that were good enough to gift to someone were products of your basket tutorials. The recipients were very happy to have more original organisation vessels. Thank you!
    You explain the processes, the why’s, the alternatives so beautifully and I feel as though you give us so much of your patience and time and skills. I cannot thank you enough for making it look so easy... which gave me the confidence to try things I found daunting. Very simply, thank you for being you! I love this ripple blanket and look forward to creating a few, as gifts. One of these days, I’ll actually, keep one of my crochet projects for myself. 😂 keep being awesome, please!

    When I have to count a lot of stitches, I use locking stitch markers ever 25 stitches so that if (when lol) I lose count, I only have to count my 25s or since my last marker. You could also use safety pins.

    • @beccacoleman498
      @beccacoleman498 4 года назад +4

      I'd definitely have to use markers as intervals, otherwise I'd spend alot of time counting and unraveling, then just end up giving up in the whole project.

      I did use but I really can't see what I did wrong. Started all over and had one stitch left, but I did not end up with 5 Double Crochet stitches but with a decrease. I decided am going to keep it that way. Doing a big blanket and didn't know what the end of first row gonna look like or end with.

    So I know you did this video two years ago but I love it, the only thing I changed was instead of chaining up three at the ends I did a a chain 2 and used stitch markers at the ends. This ended up not creating that little gap you get between your chain 3 and first double crochet. I use the stitch markers at the ends just to make sure I don't forget the two double crochets at the end.
