I made this thanks to you wonderful tutorial and it turned out beautiful! It is a new home gift for my son and his girlfriend, I chose it because it looked modern and like it would work in their place. I love it and hope they will too - Thank you!
I have finished the throw and it has turned out very beautiful, but I realise now that in the first five rows you pick up the back stitch and in the last five rows you pick up the whole stitch. Thank you for this lovely pattern. 😊
Love this video. I don’t know how to do the foundation stitch so I will chain and do 2 rows of half double crochet. Everything else is really easy. Thank you.
I really like how you teach - thank you!! I also never realized how easy it is to see the stitches when using Bulky weight yarn!! WooHoo! I never use Bulky weight - but now I've learned something new - THANKS! I've just subscribed and look forward to future notifications. I often just listen to directions via video and crochet along. As I listened and watched tonight, I heard something that made my antenna go up. I figured you misspoke (which is fine!), but may I be so bold to point it out? At time stamp 4:51 you stated: 'and now you will work 3 single crochets in each of the next 3 stitches'. It only took a moment for me to realize you meant ONE single crochet in the next 3 stitches.....it's an easy thing to say incorrectly - but for someone new to crochet - they may not catch it right away. I hope you don't take this as a negative comment - just thought you might want to know for future. Can I ask if you have ever worked this pattern up in a lighter weight yarn? I like the Bulky with the dimension it gives the blanket, I just have an awful lot of 4 weight yarn kicking around! 🤭 Thanks again!!
Thank you for your kind words! And yes, thanks for pointing that out, I do try to make a point to say to crochet in each stitch, but i’m glad you figured out what I meant 😅
absolutely excellent! you teach so clearly. this is very similar to another blanket I'm attempting but it was so confusing. Your instructions make it seem so easy! thanks so much!❤
Thank you for sharing!!! Currently making this with worsted weight yarn that I'm trying to de-stash just to make sure I have the hang of it before investing in the bulky yarn.
Beautiful pattern! My suggestion for yarn substitution to make a bit more budget friendly: Use 2 strands held together of worsted Weight yarn to get the bulk..You can get some good acrylic worsted weight yarn that come in 1 pound skeins, for instance Caron 1 pound and Lion Brand..
Such a beautiful blanket! It’s a challenge for me, specially because I haven’t had any practice in years, but I’m just starting mine and I’m having so much fun!! Thank you for sharing the tutorial 🙏
I started with just a chain and realised I needed a multiple of 4 plus 5 more, as you lose two chains when you come back in to do the hdc in the 3rd chain from the hook
Thank you for sharing this gorgeous pattern 🤎 I just finished mine a couple of days ago and it turned out beautiful! Can’t wait to do more in different colors
Very lovely pattern I would love to try but with a different blend (60silk/30wool/10cashmere). Do you think that works? It is a bit thinner (50gr=110meters)...maybe double it? Thank you ❣️
I also am tired of making crocheted blankets, but this one is different. I will be making this one. I just subscribed and liked your channel so you have a new subscriber.
I’m so excited to make this blanket! I’m making it for my son’s 18th bday at his request. I’m going to make it a bit bigger, but can you explain what you mean by 4’s + 3, I don’t get the +3 part? So make 7 more? Thanks for your help! I love your FB page. 😊
@@ensemblebyasaI guess I’m still a little confused, why do we need the extra stitches? Also my blanket my foundation is 160 so I should actually make it 163? Correct?
So you will choose any multiple of 4....so 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and so on. And then add 3 more after that. This blanket starts with 79 chains. 76 is a multiple of 4 (19x4) and then 3 more makes it 79. Does that make sense?
The arrow stitch is a sequence made over a multiple of stitches rather than a singular stitch. The arrow stitch is made over 4 stitches total so yes, you should end up with 19 arrow stitches at the end of the row. 19x4=76 :)
Make sure to start with the correct stitch count, make sure to insert the hook into the correct stitch at the beginning and at the end of each row. Check very carefully where Christine inserts the hook. Make sure not to skip or miss a stitch. I know that problem. When I started crocheting, I had the same problem and it drove me crazy. Don't give up 😅
It sounds like you are mistakingly making your last stitch too soon, which would result in you losing stitches....I could be wrong though. How is your stitch count at the end of every row? You can always use a stitch marker at the beginning and end of each row to make certain you are going all the way to the end. Sometimes the last stitch can be hard to see.
I love this pattern and tutorial. This afghan is in my future! Thank you.
You’re welcome 😊

How much wool did u use, please. I'm planning on using an 8 strand wool but I'm not sure
@@SharonChimezie-e4x I used the bulky No 5 as suggested x 10 skeins. It’s lovely and warm. Good luck 😉
I picked up the whole stitch in the first 5 rows also 🤍
How big is the throw?
I just wanted to know how long did it take to make your blanket? I was hoping to have it done before Christmas
Love this video. I don’t know how to do the foundation stitch so I will chain and do 2 rows of half double crochet. Everything else is really easy. Thank you.

This is the most beautiful blanket!!! I dislike making blankets and I'm definitely going to make this one! Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words ❤️ this makes me smile
I love this blanket and your instructions are so helpful. I made my blanket too narrow. Any tips or suggestions to increase the width? Help please!
You could add a border on the long sides only - kind of like a mixed-texture blanket, with the arrows in the center and different stitch on the sides
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial and a beautiful blanket
You’re welcome 😊
what do you suggest if you don't like doing the half double foundation to start?
Just with a chain of any multiple of 4 + 3 more. Work one hdc in the 3rd ch from the hook and in each ch across. ❤️
@@SpottedHorseDesign You're the best thanks so much!

Try it, it would definitely work. I would say double it if you want it to come out the same size.
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you!
This is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this, I can't wait to make this!! ❤🥰
You’re welcome 😊
Excellent!
I love your crochet hook, will you share where you got it?
Furls 🤍
Great tutorial
Glad you think so!
Love it!!! Thank you for sharing
Can I follow this same method to make a smaller baby blanket? If so, what size yarn should I use and how many of the chains do I need to start?
You could follow this pattern the same but with worsted or dk weight yarn for a smaller blanket 🤍
It's so beautiful Indeed
Thank you 🤍
This is gorgeous and you’re insanely talented! Could I please know what shade your yarn is in? I may have missed it 😊
I used the color desert 🤍
I also am tired of making crocheted blankets, but this one is different. I will be making this one. I just subscribed and liked your channel so you have a new subscriber.
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm so excited to make this for a wedding gift. I have no idea how much yarn to buy. I'm wanting it to be about 48" by 72".
Lovely pattern I love the stitch. Where did you get your crochet hook and the color of hook.😊
Hi! It’s the streamline metal from Furls 🤍

A multiple of 4 + 3 stitches. Example she made 79 st that is 76 multiple of 4 plus 3 st = 79 sts

Do stiches decreasae after first row of arrow stich?
No they shouldn’t be.
😃. BELLISIMO 👏.
What is the approximate size of your finished blanket? I know I should do a gauge swatch but am curious what the target is.
Definitely making this beautiful throw!! Nicely done!! I can only hope mines is as beautiful as yours!! ❤
Love this thank you new subscriber I to have loads of four weight yarn give it a go with that ☘️☘️
Thanks for subbing! 🤍
It may be a Furls crochet hook. I have several. They are considered an investment as they are a little pricey
What is the multiple so I can decide how wide?
01:20 multiple 3 plus 4😊
01:20 multiple 4 plus 3😊
For a full blanket would we just make a foundation chain of half double crochet stitches for the length of our blanket?
Beautiful, it’s almost too perfect, if that’s even a thing. I like how it reminds me of macrame.
Wow, thank you!
Were dud you get your hook.
It is a Furls crochet hook . They are my personal favorite next to my Clover hook
Is there anyway I can do the chains I’m having a hard time doing the half double chain Ty
How come I ended up with only 19 arrow stitch. My base is 79 stitches? Please help
The arrow stitch is a sequence made over a multiple of stitches rather than a singular stitch. The arrow stitch is made over 4 stitches total so yes, you should end up with 19 arrow stitches at the end of the row. 19x4=76 :)
Hi there have you got a written pattern for this modern arrow stitch?
Both the stitch tutorial and this pattern are on my blog 🤍
How many things of yarn do you think it will take to make a full size blanket?
Are you working in the back loops. You didn't say that
This is not worked in the back loops
you didn't mention the beginning half doubles are done in the back loop
I picked up the whole stitch, not back loops. 🤍
I've tried doing this blanket but keep finding it shrinks as I progress up , not sure how I'm loosing cm and or stitches? It's driving me crazy
Make sure to start with the correct stitch count, make sure to insert the hook into the correct stitch at the beginning and at the end of each row. Check very carefully where Christine inserts the hook. Make sure not to skip or miss a stitch. I know that problem. When I started crocheting, I had the same problem and it drove me crazy.

@@SpottedHorseDesigntrued it twice now can't figure out where I'm going wrong . I give up 😅
Please, what is the finished size of this blanket using 79 stitches😔
Depends on your gauge. Do a swatch and use your stitches per inch to calculate size.
Beautiful. What were the dimensions of your finished blanket? Not counting the fringe. Thank you.
It’s 60”x40” ❤️
@@SpottedHorseDesign thank you
well done thank you.

How many things of yarn do you think it will take to make a full size blanket?
Shes mentioned 9-10 skeins
@@jadejamieson8565 this is just for a throw. It’s only 79 stitches wide.
How many things of yarn do you think it will take to make a full size blanket?
She mentions at the very start of video 9-10 skeins
For the throw, it is 9-10. I would double it
I used about 10. If you’re looking to make a bedspread then I’d probably double that.
