I pray that you are well. Pain free and enjoying this Precious time God has allowed us to be in fellowship with each other! I know that your students love you, I truly thank God for you. I love you and Mutley too!
Alison I love the idea you show us to add a stitch at the end if we haven’t got the right count. I wonder if you could do a video showing how it’s done a bit more in detail. That would be so helpful as I haven’t been able to work it out by myself 🥰💕🙏🧶xoxo
🦮 hi Alison, I really love your patterns. They are easy and really really nice. I want to use this one to make a Afghan for my niece. You explain how to make your patterns so well that you don’t have to watch it you can just listen and totally understand how to do your patterns. Thank you. You are a blessing. 😇

Alison Russell's Crochet and Craft Channel Thankyou Alison. I have had a look not exactly cheap but worth it in the long run. I’ve given hints to the family so I can’t wait to open future presents haha
You are so welcome! so glad to help its awful these days with lock downs and the stress is much higher for many people even if i can help a little i will be happy.
Love this blanket, I will definitely be making one for each of my grandchildren. I learned something new as well, something I just used on another project I started this evening. I needed a chain of 300 chains I have 297. I just added the additional three chains using your method. Thank you I was not looking forward to frogging the entire first row.
Lovely blanket and a great tutorial Alison thank you. What a brilliant idea about catching the ribbons down with a few stitches. Stay safe and well. Kindest regards from Australia ❤️🇦🇺
I absolutely love your videos, you explain everything so well, and I could listen to your accent all day, please keep making videos as I look forward to them 😊
Hello Alison, I'm new to crochet I like your blankets and have did a couple of them. The grey and pink striped cluster blanket is lovely, mine turned out well.Is there any chance you could do a hat to match it, I don't know how to decrease to close the hat .
Alison, I'm crocheting the Train Track, from your tutorial. I love it. Can't wait to try this one. Thank you. I love your accent. I could listen to you all day.
Love love love this very cute and so simple...stitch pattern...ty Alison for another great little blanket..... both ... colors are so cute....same colors I like to mix😊
I too, love using grays with light /bright colors. I've done one before in requested Neopolitan colors, like the ice cream. Thanks for another beautiful pattern! I love your border, I think I will use a Solomons/lovers knot on , mine. God Bless and happy hooking!
Hi Alison, I have finished my hat and neck warmer (I will email you the pics!) and am now getting back to making my squares for my eventual blanket!! Angela x
Hello Alison, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. All my life I always desired to crochet but could never learn. My mother is the most amazing woman, she can do everything from building, to sewing, needlework, crochet, knitting, and on and on. As hard as I would try to learn, I just couldn't grasp it. I think it is the fact that I always sat beside her and maybe that's the reason? I found with your teaching, the camera angle is as if the yarn and hook are in my hands, very clear and close ups are great. Most of all you take the time to explain so precisely and your accent is amazing. I can listen to you all day, in fact even if I'm not following one of your projects, I just put one of your videos on just to hear you talk, like listening to the radio! I also have a dear friend who lives in Landark and you so much remind me of her. Thank you for all you do and take time out of your day, this especially helps with having to be home all the time! Thank you again and keep the projects coming.
Alison, i also apologize for the misspelling of Lanark, Scotland. You have been a great help and mentor! I think I have tried every one of your beautiful stitches. Next I’m going to tackle a baby dress. You give a lot of confidence not to be afraid and try. Thank you
I hope you like them i do prefer the max size its slimmer at the thumb rest and longer on the hook. My stitched kept falling off the shorter one if i used anything thicker than DK
I'm very happy to have another tutorial from you Alison. I've already started this one, and it's SO easy because you explain it so incredibly well. Thank you for keeping me crafting. J x :)
I have been wanting to do a blanket with gray and pink just couldn’t find what I wanted but now I have thank you so much I love your work this is beautiful great job
this look amazing in any size, any color a fab easy blanket. Try it in pastels for babies, bold colors for adults, or even all your yucky wool/yarn for your pets.
Oh my how wonder full I would never of thought of the colour's that you use.xxxx hope you are keeping safe I am going to make this in the morning need some sleep before I start you could always but a backing on it I've brought a lovely glue for wool and it work great xxxx
Alison Russell's Crochet and Craft Channel I put dots from my glue gun when I make slippers I also have an old pair of cream leathers pants I use I wil get the name of glue later and let you now xx
Yes please. It’s so much better for some of us. Especially when you have an accent. I love it. My Mother was from England but sometimes it’s just a little difficult. 😍. Thank you.
Dear Allison I have just completed making this beautiful baby afghan in pink and grey. It came out lovely. Now I have to weave in the ends and put on the border. My question for you is this> I do not want to run a ribbon through it because of washing. I fear the ribbon may look wrinkled. What should I do? Add 3 rows of sc around (US) and then put on some kind of picot around? Do you have any suggestions please. I love your tutorials. Thank you so much. Bonnie in the USA.
that's a fab idea of the extra rounds and picot that will look fab I suggest you look for some free border stitch patterns too. Google free crochet blanket borders, that way its free you can print some off and have your own stash of borders. I have a book I got off amazon and its fab
Beautiful and versatile stitch pattern! Am thinking about trying it with a bigger hook to open it up for my warm climate. I've never used an addi hook. Have you ever used a Clover Amour hook? So far these are the most comfortable hooks I've found for my arthritic hands. Thank you for your great demonstration of adding chains with the starting tail! I'd heard of it & tried it before but it just didn't work!
Hi Alison, thank you for another great video. I am doing this project this afternoon and I've managed - Just about lol! To use 2 different colours!!! Love to Mutley :) Angela x
Hi Allison thanks so much for this. Beautiful blanket, I have been sick last.few days with food poisoning so didn't feel like. crocheting, today was first-time to watch and there you were so thanks for making me want to to get. Crocheting again with such a great and so well explained stitch, Love your channel so much xxx
Deborah M, hope you get over your food poisoning illness very soon. Drink plenty of water & also boiled water left to cool down so your able to drink it. This will help flush out your system. Take care & happy crocheting..... 🍪pocket.
Allison, could I use this stitch for a throw blanket for my granddaughter or is it best for baby 👶 blankets only. You explain your tutorials so well and patient with beginners like me! I have fallen in love with Mottley! He is so precious!! Thank you!!
Love this blanket Alison the ribbon and bow finish it off beautifully. Would it be possible to show us how you make the bow please mine never turn out properly. Thanks for all your tutorials they are the reason I got hooked to crocheting during lock down. Now it’s taken over my life!! 😂 Xx
Thanks for your reply Alison. I think that’s what I’m going to have to start to do. Looks like you got a good match colour wise with the ribbon, it looks beautiful xx
Hi Karen Denison, If you enter "How to make ribbon bows for clothes" on you-tube or "How to make ribbon bows for hair" you'll be able to watch a number of video's showing you how to make ribbon bows for any project. Good luck & I hope this helps you. 🍪pocket.
Hi Allison, Loved this blanket and wanted to make it as a gift so I gave it a try and used Hobby Lobby "Love This Yarn" print. It really is easy as well a beautiful, but I got carried away and it is very large. I don't want to make a border but maybe a simple edging to finish it. I would love any suggestion you might have . I am also working on the Granny Stripe. Love your tutorials Thank you MaryAnn
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel I didn't want to get involved with a large border, just as you say, wanted to neaten it up .Thank you Alison. I will give it a try.
Thank you for another great video, Alison. It would be great if you could make a short video, please, just demonstrating how to add to your chain if you run out of stitches. I tried using the search function because I knew I’d seen it on a video, then I spent an hour checking the beginning of videos trying to find an example when you needed to increase. If you did a short video with a title like “how to add foundation stitches when you’ve counted incorrectly” or something similar, it might appear on a search. At the moment, I’m trying to commit this video to memory for the next time I need to do it !🤪
Hello thank you your so easy to understand you go through the steps so it makes it essay for someone like me. I’m a bit confused with the dc tc as I’m from Australia do you a video with the stitches that I could look at many thanks Robbie
oh, honey, I cheat at those my arthritis is too bad to tie them tight and i lost my bow maker too. I buy them off amazon in a multi big pack look for 5inch or 4inch handmade bows. They come with a crocodile hair clip so the people I donate my blankets to can take them off and uses them when their child is older
Another beautiful blanket allison, can I just ask you on the border what do you do on the corners for the double row and the treble row? By the way love your accent , I had my DNA done and I'm quarter Scottish . But I dont have the accent which I wish I did.,your work is as always fantastic.
the border is one row UK double crochet all around the blanket one row of UK treble crochet this stitch is wider for the ribbon and 1 row of UK double crochet to finish. You can add as many rows as you wish but this is what i did.
Hi Alison, I have never crocheted before, is this a good 1st project? Or can you recommend another one? Many thanks x it's just stunning, maybe one day x
Absolutely love this pattern and cant wait to give this a go! You mentioned you dont count the chains. But I am useless at knowing how many to do to make a good size blanket. Would you be able to advise on a number of chains to do to make the size of the blanket you made? Thanks x
Celia if you are in the UK its 1st row double crochet 2 in the 3 stitches around the corner. (USA single crochet) The 2nd row is UK treble crochet (USA double crochet) the 3rd row UK double crochet (USA Single crochet)
really, i didn't know that. Just shows even when you think you find something different its out there already, crochet has been around for gazillions of years.
This is so pretty! I love it! You do such a great job explaining. Thank you. Do you think this could be done with a UK Treble crochet instead of a double crochet to make it work up faster or would that wreck the look of the finished product?
I dont think it will look right, it will look like a fan if you do trebles then loop through all of them, you could give it a try on a small sample and see. then let me know, Amanda.
one per row Sarah, if it looks to tight ad a few extra. Most of the time borders and edges need adjusted by the person doing the crochet as the tension might be different. Even on written patterns I have found i sometimes need to adjust it as my tension is quite slack and I need to reduce the stitches in borders.
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel Thank you Alison. I’ll post a picture when I’ve finished with my blanket. I love this stitch. It makes a wonderfully squishy blanket.
How many stiches should i do for a normal baby blanket? Im 12 and have been crocheting for 2 years now, but i still havent made a baby blanket yet haha😁
Ania, well done you keep going that's great. What I do Ania, is make the chain along a measuring tape to the width I like. That way it will be long enough for the size I want. Also If you google "crochet chart for average size blankets" you will find lots of charts with most blankets sizes in inches and in centimetres. you can write them down and keep it so you know what size most blanket are done. Any time you need help just ask. (PS I cheat with the bows on the blankets I buy those from amazon they have clips on and are 4inch hair bows)
Allison please please think about tutoring in person as I’m a hopeless case at this crochet thing I try and try and try but too no avail you mention if you sell your goods 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I would need to pay someone to take my efforts lol so please think about it I would pay all my hard earned cash too you coz I’d love too be able too crochet x x
I found this channel very recently; and I can't stop watching and watching and watching. Each time I find a new favorite stitch for my next sweater. Golly I need to start crocheting; but which of Alison's stitches will I use? Not an easy decision!!!
one ball of each about 100g will make this size i did my chain to 26in it came out 25in wide and 27 high yours might be slightly different if you tension is different from mine.
There are three basic sizes for crochet blankets: afghan, lap blanket, and baby blanket. Traditionally, full-size, crochet afghan patterns measures about 50″ by 65″. The lap blanket is about 35″ by 40″. And the perennial favorite, the baby blanket, measures about 25″ by 30″.
How lovely! Any new parent would be thrilled to receive as a baby gift. The ribbon and bows make it a pleasure to look at.
thank you
I pray that you are well. Pain free and enjoying this Precious time God has allowed us to be in fellowship with each other! I know that your students love you, I truly thank God for you. I love you and Mutley too!

Hi Alison, I have never crocheted before, is this a good 1st project? Or can you recommend another one? Many thanks x it's just stunning, maybe one day x
any one on my channel, Penny. All are suitable for the beginner. get your yarn and hook and follow along
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel thank you Alison, just had a quick look, and it seems I am going to be spoilt for choice. Thanks, stay safe x
Absolutely love this pattern and cant wait to give this a go! You mentioned you dont count the chains. But I am useless at knowing how many to do to make a good size blanket. Would you be able to advise on a number of chains to do to make the size of the blanket you made? Thanks x
You can do it! th-cam.com/video/rkJkbfgesfE/w-d-xo.html This is what I do and its been a while for this blanket I cant remember the chain count for it
Thank you, when picking up the stitches round the blanket did you do one DC in each row and two DC in the corners?
Celia if you are in the UK its 1st row double crochet 2 in the 3 stitches around the corner. (USA single crochet) The 2nd row is UK treble crochet (USA double crochet) the 3rd row UK double crochet (USA Single crochet)
Thanks very much😀
in the usa this is called the trinity stitch, pretty for blankets.
really, i didn't know that. Just shows even when you think you find something different its out there already, crochet has been around for gazillions of years.
This is so pretty! I love it! You do such a great job explaining. Thank you. Do you think this could be done with a UK Treble crochet instead of a double crochet to make it work up faster or would that wreck the look of the finished product?
I dont think it will look right, it will look like a fan if you do trebles then loop through all of them, you could give it a try on a small sample and see. then let me know, Amanda.
The gray yarn looks thicker than the other. Is it?
no the pink is red heart medium eight and the grey is a medium weight too
How much yarn do you need for this thanks
i don't really know as i don't know what size you need. I used less than 100g of pink and 100g of grey

TY
When you’re working the border along the sides , is it one uk double/us single per row? Or will I need to add a few more stitches along the sides?
one per row Sarah, if it looks to tight ad a few extra. Most of the time borders and edges need adjusted by the person doing the crochet as the tension might be different. Even on written patterns I have found i sometimes need to adjust it as my tension is quite slack and I need to reduce the stitches in borders.
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel Thank you Alison. I’ll post a picture when I’ve finished with my blanket. I love this stitch. It makes a wonderfully squishy blanket.
How many stiches should i do for a normal baby blanket? Im 12 and have been crocheting for 2 years now, but i still havent made a baby blanket yet haha😁
Ania, well done you keep going that's great. What I do Ania, is make the chain along a measuring tape to the width I like. That way it will be long enough for the size I want. Also If you google "crochet chart for average size blankets" you will find lots of charts with most blankets sizes in inches and in centimetres. you can write them down and keep it so you know what size most blanket are done. Any time you need help just ask. (PS I cheat with the bows on the blankets I buy those from amazon they have clips on and are 4inch hair bows)
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel thank you!

I found this channel very recently; and I can't stop watching and watching and watching. Each time I find a new favorite stitch for my next sweater. Golly I need to start crocheting; but which of Alison's stitches will I use? Not an easy decision!!!
How much yarn needed to make this blanket please?
Alison never really said in the video how much yarn was needed. Maybe she will answer your comment soon. 🍪pocket.
one ball of each about 100g will make this size i did my chain to 26in it came out 25in wide and 27 high yours might be slightly different if you tension is different from mine.
How many stitches would be a good size for a baby blanket?
There are three basic sizes for crochet blankets: afghan, lap blanket, and baby blanket. Traditionally, full-size, crochet afghan patterns measures about 50″ by 65″. The lap blanket is about 35″ by 40″. And the perennial favorite, the baby blanket, measures about 25″ by 30″.
Did she saymake even chains or uneven chains?
even
