Love this pattern and all your patterns. Thank you so much for your tutorials. You explain stitches so well. Love your cats. I do have a question on the fast and easy blanket. If you want to make wider. Is there a certain number of stitches to use such as odd or even numbers etc. Thank you so much.
Hi Carol. You can start with any odd number. Thank you ♥ Hope to see you again.
Hello. I love this pattern thank you for sharing. What size hooks do you recommend if I use a 5 weight yarn?
Hi Carol. I am a beginner, never crochet before. I do knitting. Is this an easy blanket to start with. If I want to make it a little bigger, how many odd numbers should I use instead of the 81 chains you are suggesting. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you, its a beautiful blanket. Maria
Thank you i love your stitch.
Your instructions indicate using is a 6.5 and a 7 mm crochet hook. Here in the US, we jump from a 6.5 (K-10.5) to an 8 mm (L-11). Would you please explain what hooks you suggest using ???
I found 7MM hooks at Hobby Lobby in CA
I was wondering the same thing.. I am also from the U.S.
Thank you!
I used a K and the L. My blanket turned out beautiful. I can’t see any difference. The only other thing you can do is order some crochet hooks from Europe.
Hi not being nasty or anything but did you see the four wrong size stitch in last row of your beautiful blanket
I haven’t seen them :)) Where are they?
At time stamp 15:10 you can see it. Why people are so critical, I’ll never understand. You verbal explanation was correct. I think people who criticize, are just jealous. This is a beautiful pattern!❤️
Oh shut-up! Did you learn in kindergarten if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything?
Gorgeous shawl, love the written pattern but can’t seem to print it out
Hi, how many balls of yarn did you use for the standard size baby blanket?
Thanks
Marilena
How much yarn is needed for the Fast and Easy Beginner Blanket and the size? Thanks so much, love the pattern
How many yards of yarn should I buy for this
Thank you for this lovely blanket.
For those newbies, especially in the US, 630m is approximately 689 YDS
I love your patterns. Also love hearing your kitty in the background. I miss my cat after having it for 19 years. Your video is so helpful.
How do I calculate how many skeins of yarn are needed to make this blanket?
