Hi Tamara I'm a 72 year old retired nurse and have just taught myself to crochet and I love this blanket. I want to spend my whole day working on it its addictive! Thankyou so much
Making my first California king size blanket with this pattern and I'm in LOVE with the way it's turning out! 12 spools of yarn in, 1/4th of the way done and it's worth every penny!
Mrs Kelly, I’ve been willing to tell you for a while the choice of color on that pattern is just stunning...so beautiful. I’m doing the exact same blanket for a friend , and I’m so in love with it.... i could keep it for myself!!! Thanks for sharing your talents
maybeme8 my husband picks on me because I watch crochet videos like they are a television show lol. I am just addicted to crochet though so I want to see all the great projects out there. Which is torture not to stop my current blanket to do this one, but at least I already know what I am going to make next!
Hi. I've been planning this project for a while, and finally did it. In doing the edging around, I wish we could have seen the very ending of the blanket, the edging following the peaks. It is a beautiful blanket. Thank you for sharing. My daughter will love this.
Tamara, you are very talented. Such a fast worker. I am some what slower, therefore, I will watch this tutorial many times. LOL!! This blanket is gorgeous!! You make it look so easy. Good job, my friend!!
Thank you! Feel free to use the gear icon in the TH-cam player to slow it down or speed it up as needed too! :) I often change the speed on tutorials based on how much I already know!
That’s how Mom taught me to crochet. My SIL uses overhand grip, which I found myself switching to for a Tunisian stitch medieval hood for my son, in order to hold the yarn of the previous loop steady on hook while pulling up the next loop of forward pass. For everything else, pencil grip!
I've been looking for days for my next project. I'm so glad I stumbled across this pattern! Your instructions are very clear and precise. I appreciate it. So excited to see how this works up
I love how I keep hearing all you video knitters and crocheters saying you "frog it out", or just "frog it"... and realize you mean "rip it, rip it, rip it [out]". Too funny! Thanks for your vlog and free pattern, this one is very lovely! ~Diana
Love your color choices. Reminds me of what they call "Primitive" style. I love learning new tricks as with moving the yarns up. Very great tip. I wonder how chunky yarn would work? Love the design but a bit too airy for my liking. I guess one could line it with pre-washed flannel or pre-washed Kona. Excellent direction. Thx.
You are a good teacher. You do a better job of keeping your hands in the frame than I do! I just haven't found the right set-up yet. Anyway i have added you to my links list. Love the pattern too!
Currently working this fun pattern. Great video; wish I would have watched before I started as you have a great way of capturing the yarn strands along the sides. Will start using your method now as I continue the blanket. Thanks for the great video!
Oh my god that’s a beautiful blanket I’m going to try and make that thank you very much for your beautiful Vittorio now I don’t know what size your you’re using but I’m gonna look in your description so thank you very much God bless you bye-bye
Great video! I’m just teaching myself and I actually just completed basically the same pattern in one color. I’m not great at reading patterns so it took a long time to figure out. The blanket was gorgeous and I want to make another, this really helped clarify some things. I’m also excited to try more than one color!
This blanket wants to come to my house and live with me! I can't crochet if my life depended on it. My aunt has tried to teach me, I've watched so many tutorials and just can't get it. The blanket is absolutely beautiful.
I have seen and loved this pattern for awhile. So glad to have it. I am doing it as an afghan with my leftover yarn and not worrying where it needs to change mostly in the shells. Don't understand what you meant by shoring up or something about the chains as I didn't see you do anything when you said it when chaining 5. Thanks again
Okay this is a great video. I can read the pattern so I can crochet this blanket. But all those colors are killing me so I am only using two right now and it's going slow . When I'm finished it will look nice . Thanks for all the extra help you give us so we can actually crochet something start to finish. This is one of your best videos!!
I really like this beautiful pattern. I just don't like carrying the yarn when I change colors! Your technique made it easier! I might try just one color, cuz the pattern will look just as beautiful! Thank you!!
When crocheting into the "hump" of the initial chain, your edge looks like a braid and therefore gives an afghan a much more 'finished'/polished look. When crocheting in the body of a blanket, crocheting into only one loop adds an extra dimension to the design by adding a 'ridge' to the design. Crocheting into both loops of a stitch gives the pattern a more smooth appearance. (This explanation would be more easily seen on a simple chevron design crocheted afghan). It's really a design element. If you like, you can try to crochet two different swatches in a particular pattern to see which you prefer: crochet the first one into one loop only, and crochet the second swatch into both loops, and see what you prefer for your project.
Diana Pulido it would make a beautiful, not to mention beloved I'm sure, crib decoration blanket. The blankets that people lay across the side of the crib. I say make it. Make one for all the babies you love. Baby blankets that are handmad with love are the BEST gift. It allows them to cuddle with you, even when you are not actually there :)
Tamara, I noticed that you use Furls crochet hooks. What is it about these hooks that you like so much. I was thinking about purchasing some, but before I do need to know how they are from someone that I see using them, since they would be a big investment for me. Thank you for your great patterns and tutorials.
Do you have a pattern for the virus stitch. The one that has the 2 rows of double crochet after this shell, I have been trying to grind in a blanket for my bed, Not done in the round
Hello Claudia! There aren't too many brands of cotton thread around here, so I'm not really familiar with all the choices, but the pattern should work well with any of them! :)
I’ve never seen anyone hold a crochet hook like that. I wish I could learn, b/c I bet I could crochet faster & where did u get that lovey crochet hook & that gold color yarn is beautiful!
I don't know if it's any faster, it's just what came naturally to me! Everyone does it a little differently. :) The hook is a Furls Candy Shop hook - you can see them at my partner link: tinyurl.com/mooglyfurls
THANK YOU for using large yarn. So many of the knitting and crochet videos use small hooks and small yarn, which makes it very difficult to see. I'm an experienced crocheter. I like your method for carrying the yarn along the boarder.
Tamara thank you for all the free patterns! I desperately want to make this however for some reason I only end up with three stitches at the end of the last shell- any clues as to what I could be doing wrong? Thanks!
Hi ReneeNina83! It's hard to say why that's happening, but I hope to get a chart up for this stitch pattern soon that might help! It will either be at the link in the description or at the least linked there.
Hi !!! Really nice video !!! I'd like to ask you how many cm i need to make a baby blanket and how many chains i need to put on to start the blanket !!! Thanks a lot !!!
It just depends on you like your fabric! I'd make a small swatch with your favorite hook and see if you like the fabric you get - and then adjust from there! :)
As long as you use a yarn that is the same weight/thickness, you shouldn't need to make any adjustments. If you want to use a thicker yarn, you'll need to start with fewer chains to make the blanket size you want, and if you use a thinner yarn, you'll need to start with more chains. :)
thank you for this beautiful tutorial. I am planing on making this what size does it yield when you make the Baby Blanket: Chain 138, 82 rows, 1150 yds ?
I love this pattern! I was trying to follow the video to do the swatch you did before going full force for the blanket but in the first row I was left with 4 stitches left, with only just 2 shells..I don’t know what happened, I chained 26 like you did, and followed the video, so what did I do wrong? I frogged it 3 times already and it ends the same, I had to undo the slip stitch and add 4 more chains to complete row 1. Please someone help, maybe there was something I missed or I did wrong?
Hi Shira! Did you take a look a the chart at www.mooglyblog.com/oh-blanket-tutorial/ - that might answer your question easier than I can "verbally." :)
Maybe put a bubble in the beginning of the video letting people know this is the right hand version. Thanks for sharing your patterns. you are awesome. :)
hi, it's an editing option and it's free, it's hard to explain, you click on the video and it will give you the option for a pop up message. Any ways keep up the good work and sharing, LOVE your videos because I'm learning alot from them. Stay Blessed!
I'm making this in the baby blanket size and it says chain 138. Is that 138 PLUS 2 more chains or just 138?? Also I'm using the Red Heart Super Saver yarn and a letter I hook. Is that brand yarn and size hook OK for this pattern?
I wonder how this would look with a self striping yarn, like the LionBrand Mandala... I always worry where the color changes will fall with the self striping yarns...
Hi Tamara I'm a 72 year old retired nurse and have just taught myself to crochet and I love this blanket. I want to spend my whole day working on it its addictive! Thankyou so much
And I though I was doing well, teaching myself to crochet at 58. isn't you tube wonderful, a great way to learn.
I’m 18 and learning. The only problem is that I’m _horrible_ at maths and all these numbers confuse me 😂 (I also don’t use American terms).
I could listen to you teach crochet all day. Very soothing and easy to follow. Love your hook, too.

Beautiful!!! I could never have figured out the pattern without this visual. Ty very grateful
OH my it's gorgeous!! I love the colors you used and the repeats look like they're lots of fun! Thanks a bunch for sharing!
Thank you Tamara for a clear step by step tutorial about this pattern. I really like this stitch. You’re a great teacher!
I've never seen any of your videos before but man, it is mesmerizing watching you crochet lol.

Hi Teresa.
It’s so nice to see someone crochet like I do, a pencil grip! Thank you!
Hi, how are you doing??
That’s how Mom taught me to crochet. My SIL uses overhand grip, which I found myself switching to for a Tunisian stitch medieval hood for my son, in order to hold the yarn of the previous loop steady on hook while pulling up the next loop of forward pass. For everything else, pencil grip!
I am so excited to try this! You are a fabulous teacher and your voice is pleasant. Keep the videos coming! Thanks so much.
I've been looking for days for my next project. I'm so glad I stumbled across this pattern! Your instructions are very clear and precise. I appreciate it. So excited to see how this works up
How a clear expression. Thank you so much for the tutorial! 🇹🇷
Very pretty pattern. Love it. Love the video. Thank you for showing your talent. You Rock.
UI really like the blanket and you description of the careful ongoing instruction Thank you.
THE BEST tutorial I've seen in a long time! Thanks for sharing your pattern and for the way you've explained every single detail!!! Love your work!
Just finished making a blanket in this pattern. It came out beautiful. Thank you for the video and blog on how to do it
I love how I keep hearing all you video knitters and crocheters saying you "frog it out", or just "frog it"... and realize you mean "rip it, rip it, rip it [out]". Too funny! Thanks for your vlog and free pattern, this one is very lovely! ~Diana

Good quality yarn. Good demonstration. Art of teaching. Beautiful crochet. Am looking for a pattern for an octopus
You are a good teacher. You do a better job of keeping your hands in the frame than I do! I just haven't found the right set-up yet. Anyway i have added you to my links list. Love the pattern too!
Beautifully done! Do you think it could be made with either an I or H hook for queen size afghan?
OMG it's so beautiful and easy to make. Love the colors . Thank you

Thank you! Enclosing maybe? You have to enclose the ch-5 in the st of the next row so it isn't loose on the back of the blanket.
thank you

Gorgeous pattern!! Can't wait to try this crochet pattern out. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Thank you. I'm looking really forward to making this blanket.
Very very nice I'm going to make this blanket
This is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you a very easy tutorial to follow and my next project. It's very beautiful.

Its really simple ..I made ladies handbag with this omblkt pattern ...thank for video ..
Beautiful! I love your choice of yarn colors!

I am going to make this in baby blanket size for a gift. I think it is absolutely beautiful.
This design may be a little too "hole-y" for a baby... they might get their tiny fingers all tangled in the holes.

I like them a lot! The shape is ergonomic and I'm able to crochet longer using these hooks without pain. I crochet a lot, so that is important to me!
Making a throw I Love it. Thank you
Great. I want to do it. How much yarn I need to buy to make blanket for adult? Best regards from Poland
Do you have a pattern for the virus stitch. The one that has the 2 rows of double crochet after this shell, I have been trying to grind in a blanket for my bed, Not done in the round
May I request you to please advice on how to finish the top side of this blanket?
Nandini Kalra I said the same. I'm having trouble with the top end as well.
I am in the same boat I wish she would have shown how to do the whole pattern
Beautiful tutorial you explain beautifully. I would like to use cotton yhread. Which one would you recomend?
Thank you
Hello Claudia! There aren't too many brands of cotton thread around here, so I'm not really familiar with all the choices, but the pattern should work well with any of them! :)

I want to make this ..thank you
its a curious looking crochet hook, right? but pretty indeed. i think im craving one. we never have enough of these, do we....?
Gabé Bouh Hobby lobby sells this particular hook.
It's a Furls - not sold in stores, but there's a link to their site in the video description above! :)
THANK YOU for using large yarn. So many of the knitting and crochet videos use small hooks and small yarn, which makes it very difficult to see.
I'm an experienced crocheter. I like your method for carrying the yarn along the boarder.
How to you bind off the other 3 colors? Do you just cut them where they are and weave the ends into the afghan?
Looks so pretty
This is so adorable. Already started one. Thanks for the free pattern and tutorial.
Tamara thank you for all the free patterns! I desperately want to make this however for some reason I only end up with three stitches at the end of the last shell- any clues as to what I could be doing wrong? Thanks!

Heyyy, is there a way to increase and decrease this stitch?
i love the wool,could i ask plz the name n where you purshased it
It's Lion Brand Heartland, available on their site and in some stores. :)
Thanks for the video especially how to carry over the yarn😊
It’s beautiful. Love this pattern.
I like this blanket with the stitch
Gosh, this is absolutely gorgeous! Ty
Hi Laura.
Love the colors.
your labels for left handed and right handed are backwards... very pretty pattern...
Found the RIGHT love the pattern
Hi, how are you doing??
Hi !!! Really nice video !!! I'd like to ask you how many cm i need to make a baby blanket and how many chains i need to put on to start the blanket !!! Thanks a lot !!!
Thank you! You'll find that info here: www.mooglyblog.com/oh-my-blanket/ :)
Love this ! I’m obsessed 🤩
LOL...what kind of coffee do you drink. I need some of that. You are one hyper lady! Love it!
I LH and used that video. It was nice not to have to reverse everything in my head. thanks
I love this video! BTW, what brand is your hook? Looks interesting.
Do you think that loose tension is best for this project? I crochet tighter than you so I might use a 7mm or 7.5mm hook! Thanks!!
It just depends on you like your fabric! I'd make a small swatch with your favorite hook and see if you like the fabric you get - and then adjust from there! :)
Miss Bee q
Would I use the same multiples by 8, plus 2 even if i'd like to increase the size of the blanket ( width wise )? I am fairly new to Crocheting
Yes! Any multiple of 8, plus 2 more at the end. :)
Tamara Kelly Thank you so much !
Hi can I make a sweater with this stitch
I think it would make a lovely sweater!
Oh my! This is gorgeous! Haha, see what I did there?
Love this blanket!
this might be a silly question but do I have to use Lion brand or can I use other brands as well and how do I adjust for the difference?
As long as you use a yarn that is the same weight/thickness, you shouldn't need to make any adjustments. If you want to use a thicker yarn, you'll need to start with fewer chains to make the blanket size you want, and if you use a thinner yarn, you'll need to start with more chains. :)
I love the pattern! Great tutorial..
Great job and looking forward to doing this
Not having any luck finding the link for the pattern so that I can finish the top. Please help!!
Beautiful! Going to try this with caron Cakes
thank you for this beautiful tutorial. I am planing on making this what size does it yield when you make the Baby Blanket: Chain 138, 82 rows, 1150 yds ?
It should be approximately 36" x 36" or so. :)

I wonder how this would look with a self striping yarn, like the LionBrand Mandala... I always worry where the color changes will fall with the self striping yarns...
