Call The Midwife DRAGONFLY Variation Crochet Blanket

[@Kitten-hs2qq]

I am a beginner crocheter and I wanted to try something new. You made this stitch so easy to do that I almost feel like I’ve known it for forever. I am currently making a cancer blanket for my grandma for Christmas and I am using this pattern. I am so excited to see what it looks like when it’s done! Thanks again for all your hard work and the beautiful way you describe the different steps and the tips and tricks! Can’t wait for the next call the midwife tutorial to come out

[@n3mutta]

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. I’m crocheting this pretty dragonfly stitch like I’ve been doing it forever!❤

[@ruthwallker]

Loved this pattern! Made it for my Grandson and Son! You were so "thorough" and took your time so we understood the pattern! I've been crocheting for 30 years, this is truly one of my most favorite patterns!!! Thank you. ❤

I literally just learned how to crochet by watching various you tube videos. I always admired the dragonfly stitch but never dared to try it! I watched your video and you made it look easy so I decided to give it a try. You are so patient and take the time to explain EVERYTHING you are doing. I’m happy to say I completed my sample piece and I’m so proud of it but I would have never been able to do it without your tutorial! Needless to say I subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos! I can’t thank you enough. As soon as I decide the colors I’ll be making a dragonfly blanket! Thank you thank you thank you! You’re the best!

Just learned how to make this pattern. I did it in a shawl version with 4 panels of the dragonflies. It's coming out really nice. Can't wait to use it for the winter.

[@joannaworthington7010]

Thank you for this clear and easy to follow tutorial. I found your voice and delivery to be just right and not harsh or grating like some. I love this variation on the Call the Midwife blanket, which I have made more times than I can remember! This special blanket is being made for my first grandchild. Thank you again! 💙💙💙

[@alberneciadavis5976]

I love how easy it is to view a multitude of creative and innovative crochet-er. I appreciate your sharing!

[@luciarel8131]

Thank you for your very clear explanations. The tutorial is very easy to follow, with no confusion about where to place a stitch, even with the various options. It's so refreshing not to have to stop and rewind and wonder!

[@CarolynDangerfield]

Thank you for sharing this dragon fly pattern. Your explanation was easy to follow. I am making this dragon fly pattern along with midwife flower pattern. One row of flowers in a bright color and dragon fly in a neutral color. Loving the effect, thank you, thank you!!

[@donnaloisbedardengle7144]

Sooooooo cute!!! Love this dragonfly stitch!!! Great tutorial!! Thank you sooo much for sharing 😘😘

[@katescaringcorner6765]

I love all the different variations of the Midwife afghan. All of these tutorials are posted a year ago. Are you not doing the tutorials anymore, Holly? I love your explanations, your methods of explaining is superb. Your voice is sweetly soothing and kind. I would love to see your explanation of a bumble bee block and other creatures of the meadow. I wish to make an afghan that has all the different patterns of flowers and flutterings if the meadow scattered into different blocks of one afghan. I think it would take this humble pattern to another level.

[@judylee3589]

This is really beautiful and you explain it so well. Thank you!

[@julesiou12]

Your instructions are so clear and concise I didn't need to come back to the video to make this blanket. It's such a pretty pattern and I can see me making a few of these in different sizes. Thank you so much for sharing x

[@carolessary3970]

❤ Well done tutorial ❣️ Thank you 🎉

[@cassandragraham4419]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been trying to understand it and your nailed it. I truly appreciate it

[@lindatrombley3]

I love your detailed directions

[@tamiaugustson2562]

I have done the Midwife blanket with several different patterns in the center (like meandering paw). I love how versatile the base pattern is

[@debabrams8438]

Hello I just seen your dragonfly. I love 💘 it thank you 😊. I will watch again

[@judyatwitchpeacecraft]

Thank you for a clear and easy tutorial. I am using this block pattern for something other than a blanket.

[@gloriawhited4618]

Thank you! I love the way mine turned out, even though I used an ombré yarn.

[@lindafinch4967]

You are a very clear and patient teacher! I loved your video. I had no trouble hearing you. I am also wondering how to change colors.

[@TheGeordiegirl74]

I just watched this so as to refresh I did a sample piece a while ago can’t find but going to do this Liverpool FC colours so red green gold and white your easy to listen to and follow so thank you

[@robinbrostovski5881]

I know this was a couple years ago - but i would LOVE an actual pattern for an entire blanket! Any chance of that??

[@josiekeating2396]

Hi tx excellent teacher, I will be making this very soon

[@ginahenderson1297]

Thank you!

[@barblippenga5051]

do you have written instructions to go along with the video that way if I am somewhere that does not have internet I can still make it thank you

[@yarntailswithgran9827]

Have you considered making a dragonfly cup cozy? I think it would look great on a coffee cup with handle

[@lesleybrown6276]

I would like to say thank you for the tutorial it is so straightforward. This pattern is far easier than the original call the midwife blanket which I have made following an original old school written pattern . My only confusion with pattern is the use of American terms. I’m used to using UK terms so have to stop and think for a moment! I had no problem with sound. Thank you so much for sharing😃

[@marywood8241]

Love this! Thank you for sharing this! 💖

[@carolyngale861]

I’m not finding the binding tutorial. May I please have it?

[@caroldufoe3194]

Where is your border tutorial for this?

[@joypiepenhagen7118]

Thank you for not using music! It can be very distracting 🤦‍♀️

[@nightrain18]

So question. Is it possible to get a tutorial video for a Border? Like a dragonfly border for a blanket? I'd love to do that for my mom's blanket I am working on and need finished by May. Thanks for the beautiful pattern though!

[@TeresaJohnson263]

she made a border tutorial video -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/fomqoKiahLCNmMU

[@mairinuithuama8091]

I can't seem to find the link to the border. Am I missing something? Thanks

[@shirleycasamassa8083]

Where is the instructions for the border please?

[@netstar95]

@HankandHolly there is no link here as mentioned in the tutorial.

[@susans5096]

Call the midwife is the border

[@kimberlyharrison1412]

I’m lost. I ended up with 7 spaces left and then the turning chain in my row but everything else is matching up everywhere else. I dont understand why

[@jenniecorcoran6250]

Kimberly Harrison I’ve had this happen too, did you ever resolve the issue?

[@SBrewster30]

I did too. Maybe my math is awful (it is) so I ended up with two extra "blocks" at the end. After frogging twice I gave up, folded them over, and sewed it down. Looks a little funky, but I had to move on!

[@lindatrombley3]

Rip it out and those 2 blocks and redo all. Have done on other pTterns were I couldnt fudge ir

[@bonniewilcock4543]

I can't find the link to the border you mentioned?

[@susans5096]

Search call the midwife border it’s there

[@nikkigonzalez3314]

Where is the link for the optional border?

[@yolandarodriguez3956]

Hi Holly can you show me how to do a border on my dragon fly blanket please

[@lisawilliams2406]

What kind of border would be good for this blanket?

[@yvonneperich1569]

Hi Holly please can you tell me how many stitches do I need to do to make the dragonfly blanket bigger thanks.

[@RainbowPawPrint]

You add another 16 stitches for each block. In total whatever number of stitches you use should be multiples of 16, plus add 6 at the end.

[@yvonneperich1569]

Hi Holly just another question I have for you. Do you have a written pattern for this dragonfly blanket . Thank you

[@michellenigro2311]

How do I change colours? None of your videos show how. I’m working on the dragon fly but a scarf not blanket. I just don’t no how to change colours

[@tergar6]

Have you figure out when to change color. Is it after the 15 dc after the dragonfly is made?

[@venus4201969]

Is there a written pattern for this blanket?

[@fzzypurpleturtle]

venus4201969 I just watched it and wrote down what she said because I don’t want to reference the video again. I also drew a graph.

[@mcrigler65]

@@fzzypurpleturtle I am trying to do this pattern I have a question what are the multiples? I can't understand her. Please can you give that information.

[@lindatrombley3]

Had to use hradset as you dont speak loud enough. Speak up.

[@barbarareitsma6545]

Speak up cannot hear you. I really like the pattern but you don,t have instruction.s

[@tinadavis89]

Very hard to hear

[@michelleingram7540]

I was wondering if there was something written also...

[@suestapleton3283]

Ravelry has written patterns. I have one on there of this motif.

[@yvonneperich1569]

@@suestapleton3283 may I please have a copy thanks

[@jesslyngarrett5053]

It’s very hard to hear you :(

[@marianne7697]

I can hear just can't understand...

[@FrancienDanielsWebb]

Really she is clear precise and goes back for further understanding . I suggest you put up your sound and watch this first before starting your project. I have crocheted for 63 years and I always read whole pattern instructions and with KZbin I watch it. Write down her multiplies eg multiple of 10 plus 3 so for a ten set you would have 10 x 10 = 100 plus 10 x 3 = 30 so you have to crochet 130 chains. As I watch and write this post she is an excellent teacher with patience and a lovely clear speech.

[@jesslyngarrett5053]

Francien Daniels-Webb I love the video and yes shes an amazing teacher and was speaking clear, it was just hard to hear even with my volume turned up and I even plugged it into a speaker and still couldn’t hear it and I was only letting her know Incase she wanted to speak a little louder for future videos. Other than that, this is a perfect video! 💕

[@judithserrano1584]

It took me awhile, cause its really hard to hear you. Even with my earphones 🎧. But I did it. Your a great teacher. God bless

[@hukkeri5576]

The volume is very low.
