@@marissaporter-lilly4618 it seems like some found it easy and some found it hard 🙈 I just filmed my next tutorial and for that one I go slower and refer to the pattern chart, hopefully folks will find it easier to follow that way.

@@AllysonWonderlandDCP I’m glad you liked them! I plan to do more video tutorials and I do have written patterns for more 😁

@@kathleenprice7335 I do have a second video that describes what to do for the few rounds that make up the border (basically just double crochet all around the edge and do the same color switch technique as used in the squares) and shows the decorative edge stitch plus 3 other edge stitch options. I hope you try out these fun to make squares and go ahead and make the blanket! You can use the same technique for lots of things besides just this project too.

Hi there I need it slower too sometimes and found changing the speed helps so much. It’s under settings, game changer.

Yes, you make the single crochets on the current square as you join it. So for your very first square you would single crochet all around as your final round because you are not joining it to anything, it is the square you will join the nest square to. For the next square you make single crochets up to the point where you are joining, then make single crochets as you simultaneously join them to the first square along 1 side, then continue with normal single crochet for the rest of the round. Continue in this fashion, and depending on where you are in the joining process you will join to one square along 1 side or join to 2 squares along adjacent sides. This is how join-as-you-go technique is done, it means join the squares as you make the stitches. I hope that helps to clarify! Let me know if you need further information?

Thank you ... this comment has​ definitelycured my confusion. 🍻@@patternandcraft

@@DanielDozier-r3s how could I have made it better? What did you find difficult or unclear?

@@patternandcraftThe only thing I would add would’ve been the written pattern on the screen as you’re doing the rounds, if that makes sense. I thought the video was great regardless!

I don’t follow patterns just learn from videos like these and memorize it or save and come back to it. From someone with crochet and knitting background my only criticism is that it was fast. I had to rush to pause a lot. But then realized I could just put on half speed.

I agree - really unclear! ☹️

Turn on CC and then long press on CC, choose “auto translate” and choose the language you would like the captions translated to.

@@emilydurham5504 I’m so glad you found it easy to follow that makes me so happy!! I’ll let you know when the written pattern is done 🤗

​@@patternandcraftthank you sooooo much Courtney 🥰🥰

I've finished it and it's so beautiful. Thank you so much for such an amazing pattern

@@rachellemitchell201 that’s amazing!! 😁🤩

@@rachellemitchell201 it will be this Saturday at 6am or the next- wow you are fast!! The border is pretty simple so you can at least get started- 1 round all around the blanket in double crochet with the white, with the corners worked the same as you do for the squares with 2dc + ch 2 + 2dc into the chain space. At the joins between squares you may need to see what works best for your tension- I worked 1dc into every stitch and then at the joins I did 1dc2tog with 1 leg in each corner chain space of the adjacent squares. Then 1 round where you work the skip stitch stitch method first with white ([1dc, ch1 + sk1] repeated all around and working corners in the same way as in the squares) then with tan (worked in front of the white, white folded back) into the skipped stitches, then 2 rounds of plain double crochet in tan (the first round of tan joins the previous layered rounds), then work the edge stitch which I will show in the upcoming video. If you don’t care to do the decorative edge stitch you can just do 1 round of single crochet in tan all around, maybe do 3 stitches into the corner chain spaces to make a slightly rounded corner, rather than the usual 1sc+ch2+1sc. The upcoming video will show this as an option, then I’ll show 2 simple but more decorative options and finally the edge stitch I used which is a bit more complex but gives that picot-like edge.

Thank you so much. Im in nz so maybe Sunday for us. I would post a photo but it doesn't look like I can add one. I find crocheting amazing for my anxiety. I taught myself maybe 2 years now by watching you tube videos

@@jeanette6396 glad you enjoyed the video! So wool has always felt scratchy to me so I’ve avoided wool mostly for the texture but then I found out some wools are softer like merino, but when I tried out some Marino I still didn’t like the texture plus I couldn’t take the sheepy smell of it. But I have recently discovered I do like alpaca though. I’m using one yarn that’s baby alpaca blended with cotton and a little yak that’s nice (Haya by Holst Garn). I’m really enjoying learning to knit and finding some yarns lend themselves better to crochet and others to knitting.

Glad you are getting along with alpaca. There are so many blended yarns nowadays that it's hard to try them all. Wool has an elasticity no other fiber has, so maybe blended with cotton, alpaca, etc.would work for you. But i love the sheepy smell! Also enjoyed your review of bamboo yarns, and would enjoy seeing your makes, etc.

@@jeanette6396 thanks! I’ll keep trying different yarns, maybe the one I tried was particularly sheepy haha! I do have 3 podcast type episodes (the ones titled “Creative Show and Share”)now that show my makes, and more to come!

@@VidiSaki89 yes coming soon! Border and edge stitch options

@@valerieboechler1099 oh wow, congratulations to you and your daughter!! And yes, written pattern and border/edge stitch video coming soon 😄

Love your response...thank you. Do you know the amount of each wool for the project? We have a lovely wool shop in our town, it would be a delight to visit them, and be prepared for the unveiling 😊 ​@patternandcraft

@@cindycampbell4994 😊 thank you so much! So the cirrus is available from lovecrafts.com if you do want that exact yarn, you can also use yarnsub.com to find similar yarns, or you can choose any dk/sport weight yarn that you prefer that is soft and preferably machine washable if making for a baby. You could also go with a thicker yarn like worsted or Aran weight if making a throw blanket.

@@jenniferard6072 I will have to check my notes and get back to you but I think it was 2 balls of tan and 3 of the white.
