Very clear instructions! Great video

[@maryjowyels]

Thank you for the rule of thumb and how to space stitches going down the side of a blanket. I’m not experienced enough to visualize it well but your measurement makes a lot of sense. I don’t know if it will work on every pattern but it’s nice to have in the back of my mind. Thank you again.

[@joycemills7000]

I’m new to crochet at 73yrs old but I’m currently making this Afghan you make it so easy to follow thankyou

[@maryannraia6416]

I made this blanket for my first great grand baby. I haven’t crocheted in about 45 years so it took a few tries, well a lot of tries before I got the hang of it again. It turned out pretty, a few mistakes but I don’t think anyone will notice. Thanks for your video with great instructions.

[@lisawilliams2406]

I'm doin the twist! Lol. It really does work better. I only have 2 colors but they look great together. Thanks so much for this video!

[@janetcassidy9913]

Beautiful quilt.

[@debbymccauley4774]

I have made 3 different blankets using this pattern, twisting your change 8 atbtgebend makes a huge difference in the look of the blanket. I refer back to this tutorial to check how many to start and how to end my last row. It is gorgeous and I love the look of the finished blanket.🧶

[@HeidiHansenPhoto]

You are one of the best video tutors I’ve ever seen. So clear and concise. I look forward to making this pattern. Thank you!

[@debbymccauley4774]

Very nice and easy pattern to follow with the repeats in the pattern. Great tutorial!!

[@marilynward7681]

Love this blanket just purchased the pattern. Thank you for the great video.

[@okoma247]

Wow!!!!!x Thank You so much. I've had to rewind Your video 30times in order for me to learn double crotchet a thing I've never done but because You are a good slow tutor, I took it that I'll learn something today.It's been my wish to be a Crotchettor than a Knitter but last yr when my Paralysis from Stroke started showing to lose the battle I started watching elderly women knitting everytime I got wheeled to our Rehabilitation Centre then I realised I could try to knit, it wasn't easy but I failed to crotchet so i gave up crocheting to knitting. But watching Your video today for the First time,i've said let me try only to find I have 10 different sizes brand new crochet needles, I tried a chain of 50 but double crotchet is still a dilemma and I've watched this video 30x and am taking a break coz I need to start all over again.Thanks for teaching us how to crochet a beautiful baby blanket.

[@micheleslay6199]

I am glad I found your channel. My mom was working on this stitch before she was diagnosed with breast cancer and sadly never finished the project and I didn't know how the the count or process was done so thank you for sharing your talents.

[@milafailing2812]

Thank you ......almost done with my blanket.so easy to make....really enjoyed making it......I must say you are the best.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@paulalatham1266]

Omg that a gorgeous blanket thanks so much for sharing

[@dianahenry3130]

So thankful for you! I am on my third baby blanket!! Two I made for siblings, a girl and a boy and now their cousin is on the way so doing another girl with white, pink and purple Twinkle. 💗

[@MicheleE1009]

Thank you for this tutorial. It was super easy and very clear. I chose to NOT cut at each end as it was easier to just rotate by yarn balls to the right and not have to deal with messy ends.

[@tharrell314]

Thank you for the lovely pattern. I just bought the written instructions. So easy. New mommy to be will definitely appreciate it.

[@maureenharrah931]

5 stars for this video!!!!!

[@lorrainemorin]

I am just finishing this blanket. I did it in 5 different colours, pink, green, blue light purple and yellow. All pastel shades. With white separating the colours. I did 2 rows of each colour. I also did 82 rows. I love it. Thank you so much for making it so easy to follow.

[@normacraft3670]

Just finished this in red, white and blue. Loved working on this and am very happy with the finished product. You are an excellent teacher, thank you so much for this tutorial.

[@normacraft3670]

LOVE this! Now I have made another in rainbow colors for my niece's rainbow baby. Starting on another for my grand daughter in her favorite color teal - with grey and white accents.

[@oliviapower6503]

I'm an avid knitter but keep giving up learning to crochet...This was the best tutorial ever.. you are clear, precise, and the close ups, and the repetiveness of each stitch and row is what every newbie needs...Subscribed... Will binged watch you forever. Thank you so much.

[@debbiemcclure2874]

I absolutely love Jacob's ladder. I made my granddaughter that's due in June early July. Kinda different pattern though but really lovely. Tyfs God bless you

[@joycegildelamadrid692]

I have made many prayer shawls using the Jacob Ladder stitch. I did make this baby blanket and really enjoyed it. Thank you for the border directions! It really finished it off beautifully!

[@donnar.pezzano8845]

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM TOTALLY AMAZED & in absolute jaw drop just watching every single minute of this wonderful crochet baby blanket. I have never seen something so beautiful & intriguing ! You have such a relaxed & calming voice that I can imagine myself being able to make almost anything just by watching your tutorials!

[@zuliaallen5086]

I made this crochet blanket and got the most complements about it. It was beautiful.

[@kathyz8039]

Simply beautiful. Thank you for sharing. You always go slow enough for us to really understand your patterns. I greatly appreciate that very much. Thank you again.

[@micksan7052]

Beautiful work. You are so patient and clear on your instructions. Any beginner (or anyone) can easily follow. Not everyone has the ability to instruct online. You do. Thank you.

[@francesalexander1076]

Love the pattern. I am going to make this blanket for my great niece. It is really a very easy pattern. Thank you very much, you are a great teacher and I appreciate it very much. Have a great day.

[@m.j.1470]

It's amazing what we can create with simple things like a string and a piece of metal or plastic.

[@msherry7422]

Love❣️ Love❣️ Love❣️ Beautiful blanket, thank you for your very patient tutorial! This will be my next project after I finish my cluster stitch blanket!

What a wonderful blanket! Fantastic tutorial! Thank you!

[@BBknits]

Thank you very much Glenda for the Awesome tutorial!! 💝💖💕 Such a beautiful afghan, I LOVE the way you twist the loops, and the adorable delicate edging! 🌹🌷🌹🌷

[@dawnbaker9274]

Finally a pattern I understand! Thank you so much. I have loved this pattern for years but never found a pattern that made sense. And a lovely border too. 💖

[@marieapple6866]

Excellent explanation. I complete a knitted Afghan just like this but since I like crochet more I decide to copy yours and I love the way that you explain it even though I've been crocheting for well over 60 years . I like how you twist the chain 8 there's no gaps. Excellent explanation for new crocheter. Excellent voice as well! Thank you.

[@carmen5402]

So pretty and simple. On my list of must make. Thank you for taking the time to explain the process clearly.

[@melindaallison-burns5056]

I am mesmerized watching you crochet and listening to your voice. The pattern is unique and beautiful creation.

[@deborahbellah321]

I really love this pattern. It has just joined my list of "to do" stitches !!! Thank you for all you do for us...❣

[@ellafaith8760]

This has been one of the most satisfying, relaxing stitches I have done. I completed a barbie doll blanket with this and I am so proud of how it turned out! Very simple to learn. I really like the way you teach.

[@kathywade5548]

You give very good instructions! I am trying it now can't wait till i get it done.

[@carolcentracchio9187]

Beautiful colors you have. Amazing how you weave this . You are a GREAT TEACHER. I’m doing mine in yellow. It’s not for a baby but I just wanted to do this stitch.

[@angelajackson8148]

i live in Glasgow, Scotland and one of our big football teams is Celtic, there colours are green, white & gold. My nephew and his girlfriend are expecting a baby boy in April and asked me to make a blanket in Celtic colours, i used this tutorial to make it and it turned out fabulous. Thankyou for all the wonderful tutorials you provide for us, i love them and use your channel daily, not sure how to attach a pic or i would but ty again

[@maryellenbowersock5099]

Thank you for your very clear instructions, l can't wait too try this beautiful pattern!

[@m.aliciavanegas7443]

Thank you sooo much for sharing this baby afghan. It is so easy and beautiful!!!

[@cggl5043]

OMG!!! I love this! Thank you so much for showing us how it's done! This would also make lovely lap afghans for seniors or disabled.

[@sweetpickle57]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful afghan! This is a pattern my grandmother hand wrote for me as I was learning to crochet. Also, the tip of twisting the loop is a great idea. Thank you, for all you share with your crochet friends. I have started this yesterday, using yarn from my stash in this same color pattern.❤️

[@annab5733]

I like your version of the Jacob's Ladder pattern. I too twist my loops, but I usually twist the top loop after I thread it through the twisted loop below it. I have designed at least two patterns using the twisted loop design. One was combining it with a ripple pattern. Another I designed used a cro-hook to make a reversible Jacob's Ladder pattern. I won a pot holder contest with the ripple design, and I've entered an afghan contest using the cro-hook pattern. The verdict is still out on the afghan pattern. I had fun making it even if it doesn't win any prize in the contest.

[@carolleandjohnschroeder4100]

Love this pattern. This will definitely be my next project!! Thank you for the informative and easy to follow tutorial. 👏👏🤓

[@mirjami87]

I made this for our coming baby and it turned out beautiful. It was the first time for me doing a crochet blanket but was quite easy and jet looks so adorable. Thanks for the tutorial ♥️🙏

[@christineglick7491]

I made one about 30 yrs ago and forgotten how I did it. i was tickled when I saw this video. Watched to end. Brought back memories of the person that taught me. Big thanks for the review. Going to go get yarn to start one tomorrow!

[@rhondawilsontackett8618]

This is a wonderful pattern! I was able to follow easily, even being left handed. Thanks Glenda!

[@suNRze]

I finished my blanket! It came out beautifully! Thank you, thank you!

[@margarettomuli447]

So appreciate your wonderful tutorial and agree with your idea of closer patterns for baby afghans so little toes and fingers don't get caught up. This pattern with plait looks secure and cosy and can't wait to start one. Big sincere Thank You and best wishes from Western Australia.

[@jeanperren6094]

Thank you so much. I enjoyed this very clear tutorial and feel confident to make my own. I found that this was one of the best tutorials I have ever viewed.

[@deborah5568]

This is the most beautiful afghan I have ever seen!! Great teaching skills too! Thank you so much for sharing!! Blessings

[@g.cosper8306]

Your visuals are fantastic! Easy to see where to insert the hook and your numerous repeats of each stitch means I can get into the rhythm easily. Thank you.
