I am new to crocheting. The hardest thing for me is turning around and making it even and making it look good. Do you have any ideas I might use. Love your beautiful crochet work and your tutorials

[@AmandaCrochets]

Thank you! My best advice for beginners is to insert a stitch marker in the very first stitch and the very last stitch of the row, moving this up as you make your rows. This helps to make sure you’re getting all your stitches and your ends are even 😊🧶

This is so pretty! I have 2 skeins each of Solid Baby Cakes in Red and White. Would they work? If so, how should I “map” my stripes? Thank you! 💐

[@AmandaCrochets]

Thank you! Yes that would work! As far as mapping your colors out, it’s really up to you. You can change colors every two rows or four rows. Or if you want thicker stripes, maybe every 10 rows. I’m sure it’ll turn out beautifully 😊

Thanks for sharing this pattern and the video. I just finished this baby blanket and love the stitches it went pretty fast. I wasn't to sure about the border but it ended up beautifully. I didn't use the yarn you did I tried a bulky 5 worked great. I didn't use the same number chains and I think it was to small. How many yards do you think this pattern is?

[@AmandaCrochets]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed this pattern. For this blanket, I used about 1.5-2 cakes of Caron Baby Cakes #4 weight yarn. This ended up being about 1,120 yards. My finished blanket ended up being about 33W x 31L. Hope that helps!

[@louwalmsley2674]

Thanks Amanda!!

[@AmandaCrochets]

[@georgetteberghammer8696]

This is a wonderful pattern. Thank-You! I've just started it and was wondering how many stitches I should end up at the end of row 1 and will this be the same stitch count for the rest of the pattern. New follower and will continue to watch your videos Thanks

[@AmandaCrochets]

I'm glad you enjoy this pattern! For row 1 you should have 100 stitches as you start with 103 chains, but are skipping the first 3 chains, ending with 100. You should get the same stitch count for every row afterwards.

[@AmandaCrochets]

That’s great! For the first row of your border, you will work one single crochet around your entire blanket. You will put three single crochets in each of the corners. In my video, I show you exactly what I mean. Hope that helps!

Hi Amanda, I was really excited to make this Petals baby blanket but have just discovered that the Baby Cakes are discontinued. Can you recommend a self striping substitute in the same weight that is also machine washable and dryable? Yarn searching can be mind boggling. Dawn

[@AmandaCrochets]

Hi Dawn! I recommend Bernat Pop or Premier Sweet Roll as a good comparison. Because these two cakes are smaller than baby cakes, you may need to get more cakes to complete this project. I hope that helps!

Thank you! I hope you give this a try sometime. The yarn I used for this blanket is Caron Baby Cake. You can find the details here: www.michaels.com/caron-baby-cakes-yarn/M20003668.html

[@michellesanchez741]

@amandacrochets HELP !!!!! I've been trying to make this blanket for weeks !! Somewhere along my 25 rows I have messed up the last stitch and number of chains to turn. My edges are def not right. I came back here and rewatched your tutorial. I have been chaining 3 at the end of every row 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ somewhere along the way. My question is , should i take 20 rows out ( seems i was ok for first 5 rows ) and start them again or is there anything else I can do ? Do you think the Picot boarder will be enough to coverup my edges?? This Mandala Ombre Yarn is not what i was expecting as a size 4 weight. I have had issues with it since the get go but I am determined to make it work !!!!! I WANT THIS BLANKET TO BE PERFECT FOR MY FIRST GRANDDAUGHTER WHO IS DUE TO ARRIVE IN EARLY AUGUST!!! I CHAINED 123 AND IT'S BEEN TAKING ME ABOUT 30 MINUETS TO CROCHET EACH ROW !!! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.

[@AmandaCrochets]

What could help keep those edges straight is using stitch markers. Place one in the very first stitch of your row and then again in the very last stitch of each row. That way every time you complete a row you know what stitches to work in. Maybe the yarn is difficult to work with because it’s hard to see the stitches? Sometimes “busy” yarn can be difficult for beginners. If your blanket doesn’t look too lopsided then you can continue with your blanket. However, you can always tear apart the rows and start again, but that’s your preference. The border will help hide the uneven edges a little, but if the edges are really noticeable, it might be better to try again. Hope that helps!

[@michellesanchez741]

[@patriciamilam5132]

In doing border, do you use one color, or keep going as colors are in ball yarn"

[@AmandaCrochets]

I used a self striping yarn for this blanket. However if you’re using a solid color yarn, you can use whatever color you’d like.

[@michellesanchez741]

@amandachrochets it's official, I have Finally found the ( self striping ) pattern I have been looking for . Using @lionbrand Mandala Ombre in " BALANCE" I am (trying ) to make a blanket that will be a keepsake for my first grandaughter who is due to arrive in August. ❤ Since I'm a Semi-beginner ( came back in november after 20+yrs ) who only learned to make granny squares and pot holders along with making the Skein into a ball and the basic stitches SC, DC, TC, CHAIN . Now, I have made 3 blankets that were all 1 row repeats ( 2 DC in 1 ST, skip 1 and repeat) with the exact same stitch. That was all a learning curve for sure as i ended up with a Queen Size blanket, wow that was a huge project that i didnt realize was going to be that big when i decided to use a 8mm hook instead of using a 6mm like i did on the blanket before that, using the same brand and type of yarn!!! lesson learned lol TY so much for this absolutely beautiful blanket and for teaching me a new stitch pattern.

I’m so sorry to hear about your blanket! My advice would be to start with a small swatch first to make sure you’re seeing every stitch and understanding how it’s worked up. You can also go up a hook size if you feel your stitches are too tight and you’re not able to see them properly. Good luck!
