    That is really pretty but it is hard to see the stitches. Thank you for sharing this pattern, I love it. Simple and fast, I also like to use a bobby pin (for your hair) as a stitch marker, works great and easy to move to another stitch as you need to.

    @@BonnieBayCrochet I have been using one for about 25-30 years and I love it. Slides on and off easily with one hand. I usually slide it off and put it over the front of the loop that's on the hook and it goes on the stitch it needs to be on when I do my next stitch. Kind of hard to explain so I hope you could understand what I mean. Love watching your videos!!! Also I have found some bobby pins at Walmart that are small about an inch long that work nice too

    Yes, I have a baby blanket using this here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3WOra2AdarFfZs.html. You can easily make this into a regular blanket by continuing on in pattern stitch (with increases) to desired size before beginning to decrease. As far as adding another skein, be mindful of the Color way of the yarn when adding. I usually just tie a handover knot holding both strands together. Leave at least a 4" strand to make hiding easier later on.
