THANK YOU! You did a fantastic job! This was the easiest, fastest, and best blanket I have ever made! For those struggling without the pattern written out-try pausing the video as you go, and rewinding when necessary. I did this and rewound for the ends until I had it memorized. I made a GIANT version for my husband, pups, and I to share, and it is amaaaaazingly soft!

I did the same and made a king size!

I just finished mine and it turned out lovely! I did 117 chains (+3 for the turning) and that was pretty sufficient for a larger blanket. I used 6 sheins of the 300g Bernat Blanket yarn and just kept going until they all ran out. Will be making more and will probably buy more sheins in order to make the blanket extra extra extra large :) Thank you, again!

I'm one year younger than you, 62. 😊 And same here. My grandmother taught me only how to single stitch when I was a child... so I really have to catch up. Good luck on your new hobby.

I have been trying to crochet a double crochet blanket for years and your video is the first one that made sense to me and that I could follow along with. You're a great teacher!

A perfect tuition. You allowed the close ups to do the talking,rather than distracting us with words + that made it so easy to follow. Very well done+ much appreciated

I have done 4 blankets for the grandkids in this pattern. I am currently working on 5 & 6! 😁 I love it! Thank you.

Cant thank you enough! Just started this project and you explained it really well and it’s doable for total beginners like myself! Thanks a lot, I love this pattern

Hi Monica. I am 70 years and I so want to thank you for this easy and beautiful pattern blanket. I am crocheting it for grand son. I am new to crochet and again thanks for the relaxing doing of it. Bless your kind instructions and HAPPY EASTER ❤

I've been crocheting for years (decades, lol). I've recently been looking for a really simple, and somewhat open (with holes in it) pattern for this beautiful, thick, furry chenille yarn I have. Making a gift for someone. I tried a couple other patterns, but besides being too intricate for this kind of yarn, you can't see most patterns through the fuzziness, anyway, Then I came across your tutorial and I think it's the one! Can't wait to try it with this yarn. Also though, When you held up your own complete afghan, I immediately saw that it is the exact pattern of the blanket my great aunt made for me soooo long ago as a graduation gift! It is even the same color. It was very special to me because she was older and even blind, yet she went through all the trouble to crochet this beautiful - and huge! - blanket for me : ) Somehow, I lost it years ago in a move and I always felt so bad about that. But now, I can recreate it since I see this is the exact pattern! I am grateful for your tutorial and that I stumbled upon it!! Well, I'll recreate it after I make the first blanket w this soft, fuzzy, pale green chenille yarn. Thanks 🙏 😊 Also, it's cool to see younger people getting into crocheting. It's so easy, quick, and it's so rewarding, right? Plus, there are so many gifts you can make for people and they always appreciate a beautiful, handmade gift. Keep on hookin' ; ) ❤

Thank you Monica.....for your first U-Tube video, you did a fantastic job. I love the close ups and easy instructions.....Thank you so much!

I used a fine yarn for a scarf using this pattern. It is beautiful! Thx so much for posting this. BTW ,you are adorable.

I freaking love you so much!!!! I am a BEGINNER beginner, and you’re so so good at teaching and explaining. I loveeeee how this is turning out already, not finished yet ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the tutorial, still working on the blanket, and yes so far my blanket is staying straight with straight edges, thanks so much!

I really enjoyed this video! I like how you made it so simple for beginners that don't know the correct Crotchet terms. I follow this and made the same afghan for mother mother in law who recently had a stroke and she absolutely loved it!! Thank you for making this!

This is one of the best instructions for a beginner. Thank you for your patience. You did a great job. Thank you.

This tutorial is so clear and simple. Thank you, my blanket turned out amazing

This is actually very simple and elegant ! Thank you! I have another grandchild on the way and this is perfect! Love it! ❤

I was searching for a nice, simple pattern for a housewarming gift for my sister in law. This is perfect. Thank you!

Just found you. I'm a beginner. You make it look so easy. You did great describing and showing the process. Want to start my blanket asap. Thanks

I wish you would do more crochet videos! You are a good teacher..I was brand new to crochet last year and made this for my dad for xmas thanks to this video..the only one that clicked

I have never made anything more than played around with a single chain. I just finished a king size blanket using this tutorial! Please make more!!!

Thanks for the lovely and easy pattern! Made this into a toddler blanket using Red Heart Hygge yarn in a soft grey. On my last 4 rows I had a "Bob Ross" happy accident when I turned and the slight contrast made a lovely top border. Almost 6 skeins used.

Fabulous job at explaining how to do this in simple terms. Thank you. X

I am going to use your tutorial for my first afghan... So excited as I love this look!

You did an excellent job and even threw in the important part of how to keep the sides straight. Thank you.

I just want to take a moment and say THANK YOU. You did amazing. Your tutorial is the first one that not only made sense, but I could actually SEE what I was looking for. I am trying to make a baby blanket for my first baby nephew, and your tutorial is going to get me there. So again, thank you so so much!!

You did a great job! I will be trying my 1st blanket with your video. I am self-taught and I am not very good lol but I will keep practicing! I want to be a grandma that crochets lol :)

Thanks for this video. I found some super cute chenille yarn (size 6) at the dollar store and it was $1 for 65 yards so I bought 8 figuring that's what I'd spend on yarn. Then I had to decide if I was gonna wrap something or try to learn knitting or crocheting. I did a bit more research then randomly bought a 10mm crochet hook then figured out that kind of stuff mattered so it was a blessing to find this tutorial right away for the exact stuff I already had on hand that was easy to follow. Thank you!

Thank you for going so slowly. You made it easy to follow.

Thank you 🙏 Finally, instructions I can follow thanks to you! Thanks so much!

Thank you for posting an actually easy beginner pattern

Love your video. You inspired me to take it on. I'm trying to make a queen size one. I'm on my 6th skein and estimate it may take 12-16 total. It's beautiful and I hope mine comes out as needed ce as yours. I'm also going to make pillow shams to match. Thank you so much for your tutorial.

Just started trying to teach myself to crochet. Slip knot no problem, I can do my chains good. I have been practicing SC. Now I am ready to practice DC. I really want to make a baby blanket for my Neice who is due is April. We'll see how it goes. I run into either adding a couple of stitches to losing. Stitch or two along the way. I need to figure out how to keep my rows nice and straight. Think i need some of those row markers for a while. Still I'm motivated so we'll see how things progress.

I just love the beginning😂😂

Awesome! I might make a chunky blanket next time! I just purchased a bunch of skinny yarn for an afghan. 😁 Thank you for sharing!🧶😁

Thanks a bunch for this super awesome video. I saved it because I'm gonna put down this knitting and pick up the crochet next week!!

I have done 2 blankets with this pattern. One chunky, on regular size yarn. Thanks for posting.

Crocheting {Gma} for many years but I have not used Bulky yarn yet. I am going to use your pattern...Great job on video and love you cute smile.. Do another.!

It was a little complicated following unat the 2nd row when u said skip 2 and then go into the next big hole. I am not sure i skipped 2 or just skipped 1 big hole... Because at the looks of ur video it looked like you only skipped one..going into the very next hole (welp thats what i am doing, lol) the pattern seems to still match urs. so thank you! ❤

LaDawn she said that you have to make the width of your blanket in multiples of 9s. She did 18 just for example. Then tou add three to it. Examp. Tonmake a much bigger blanket multiply 9×15=145 thats how many you would chain then add three. Hope this helped.

It's weird how people do it differently I use the hook to do the work not the other hand to do the work it's all back to front! Made me feel ill !!!! But it's going to give me an idea of something I can do..so thankyou 😂

Did you use two skins of that same crochet yarn to complete your blanket project.

I am working with the Bernat velvet stripes and it’s beautiful but so hard to see the stitches and after many false starts and errors on other patterns, I was able to get this one going without error the very first try. Thank you. It’s looking nice already!!

I have Bernat Blanket Stripes to use. I have 2 x 300g balls plus 4 x 100g balls of similar wool I'm going to use. How big did you make your blanket and how much wool?

Question. At the end of the 2nd row, around 7:30, it looks like you completely skip a space instead of putting 2 DC in that next space. Then you also skip the last space and put a DC in the chain by that last space. Just want to make sure I’m understanding the pattern and that on row 2, you skip the next to last space and put a DC in that chain. Also, does the rest of the blanket follow the pattern of row 3, or do we switch back and forth between row 2 and row 3 directions? They are slightly different at the end of those rows. Thank you!

This is nice and slow I appreciate it

I crochet exactly the same way you do. Apparently, it is a very rare way of crocheting. Experts say there is not a right or wrong way of crocheting.

Thank you for sharing this. It was easy to follow for this beginner Lefty.

Crochet a sample of two or three multiples of nine and cross het a few rows. Now you can measure how long the piece is and do the math according to how big you want your project t to be. It's all in the math.
