    Thank you for the rule of thumb and how to space stitches going down the side of a blanket. I’m not experienced enough to visualize it well but your measurement makes a lot of sense. I don’t know if it will work on every pattern but it’s nice to have in the back of my mind. Thank you again.

    I made this blanket for my first great grand baby. I haven’t crocheted in about 45 years so it took a few tries, well a lot of tries before I got the hang of it again. It turned out pretty, a few mistakes but I don’t think anyone will notice. Thanks for your video with great instructions.

  • @pansnocook
    @pansnocook 6 лет назад +11

    This is a perfect pattern for those CARON Cakes to avoid changing colors every row. Especially if you don't want those ends to weave in or even if you don't want the hassle of carrying floats. It's a great alternative. Love the pattern. Thanks😊

    • @brief402
      @brief402 3 года назад

      I did a pattern similar to this and found out that when using 3 colors you could 100% carry the colors up the sides! And at the end of the row the next color in the sequence is already sitting there waiting...
      Did the pattern the first time cutting off at each row, I was NOT happy when I found out the border did not cover the tails and it took me 3xs as long to "finish and border" the blanket the first time then it did the second when I just carried up the colors

  • @MicheleE1009
    @MicheleE1009 6 лет назад +1

    Thank you for this tutorial. It was super easy and very clear. I chose to NOT cut at each end as it was easier to just rotate by yarn balls to the right and not have to deal with messy ends.

    @okoma247 4 года назад

    Wow!!!!!x Thank You so much. I've had to rewind Your video 30times in order for me to learn double crotchet a thing I've never done but because You are a good slow tutor, I took it that I'll learn something today.It's been my wish to be a Crotchettor than a Knitter but last yr when my Paralysis from Stroke started showing to lose the battle I started watching elderly women knitting everytime I got wheeled to our Rehabilitation Centre then I realised I could try to knit, it wasn't easy but I failed to crotchet so i gave up crocheting to knitting. But watching Your video today for the First time,i've said let me try only to find I have 10 different sizes brand new crochet needles, I tried a chain of 50 but double crotchet is still a dilemma and I've watched this video 30x and am taking a break coz I need to start all over again.Thanks for teaching us how to crochet a beautiful baby blanket.

    Excellent explanation. I complete a knitted Afghan just like this but since I like crochet more I decide to copy yours and I love the way that you explain it even though I've been crocheting for well over 60 years . I like how you twist the chain 8 there's no gaps. Excellent explanation for new crocheter. Excellent voice as well! Thank you.

    Thank you for sharing this beautiful afghan! This is a pattern my grandmother hand wrote for me as I was learning to crochet. Also, the tip of twisting the loop is a great idea.

    I like your version of the Jacob's Ladder pattern. I too twist my loops, but I usually twist the top loop after I thread it through the twisted loop below it. I have designed at least two patterns using the twisted loop design. One was combining it with a ripple pattern. Another I designed used a cro-hook to make a reversible Jacob's Ladder pattern. I won a pot holder contest with the ripple design, and I've entered an afghan contest using the cro-hook pattern. The verdict is still out on the afghan pattern. I had fun making it even if it doesn't win any prize in the contest.

    Hi Glenda this method that you are showing us is a whole lot easier than the others. I've tried doing the Jakob's ladder but couldn't get it to work. It just never came out and yes it had A lot of gaps or opening. This is a whole lot easier and I love that there are no gaps. Thanks for sharing this tutorial with all of us. Take care and God bless you 😊 👋.

My sister in law made a single blanket in the same pattern in wine red, camel and brown, she made her spaces 14 stitches instead of 7. This morning I'm showing my sister how to do the stitch. Thank you once again. Denise

    Thank you Glenda for this beautiful tutorial. I received a baby afghan 31 years ago from a dear friend when I had my last child. It was done in this pattern and for the life of me I could not figure out how she had done it. She passed away shortly after she gave me the afghan so I never got to ask her how she made it. You have just answered the question that I had all those years ago and until this day. The blanket has been used for a long time in various ways and is still in wonderful shape. This is a beautiful pattern and your teaching skills are wonderful! Thank you so much! ❤
