i wasnt going to participate since i'm already working on a number of large projects, but i did some math and found some spare yarn. my plan is to reduce the width down to about a quarter and double the length for a glorious blanket scarf. i think im going to make two identical panels simultaneously and slip st them together to keep in time with the video releases. i already finished the first portion of the first panel for this week and it looks better than i could have imagined! thank you for the inspiration! oh and my jaw literally dropped when you did the first waterfall stitch, im REALLY happy to have learned this one!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

That's great. Do you know what the multiple is to change the size, I was unable to figure that out.

[@28pinkdancer]

@@TheCrochetCrowd unfortunately its not one consistent multiple, and i ended up using a stich count that was both a multiple of 5 (for the squares) and 8+3 (for the diamonds). i ended up with a chain of 37, like your sample, so i assume we did similar math? this worked out exactly to what i wanted thankfully, but different sizes would probably need to do some deeper pattern manipulation

[@sandylethbridge7021]

When you start a new colour or row you say to put tail under and then cut the straggler off after a few stitches but when we end a colour we need to end it with sewing the yarn in 3 different directions so it wont fall out. Won't it all fall out after just at the beginning where we snip it off at the beginning? Hope this all makes sense. Thank you so much for all your lessons. You are my #1 for learning new things.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

If you feel more confident, bury the yarn under the stitchwork and then use a tapestry needle to hide the rest of the tail in. That may help you.

[@nancymead3190]

Hi there! stitching away on the geometry lesson. Question, do you use the yarn as it comes off the skein for the multi color or pick a run of yarn that you like best? Working from the inside or outside of the skein? Or both? thanks, Nancy

Hi Mikey!! I finished the crochet cable blanket....it's in my future again as my sister made several hint hint comments about Christmas when she saw it. But first, I'm ready for the geometry lesson blanket. I'm a real glutton for punishment so how do I increase the size? thanks, Nancy

[@sabihaxeki]

If I want to make a bigger size ,what will be the multiples ?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

The multiples are really difficult to figure out as all three concepts are a different stitch count. I've not been able to figure it out but all stitches have to line back up. You may be able to figure that out if you go through the diagrams. I was't successful.

[@leaheaves1461]

I love love this pattern!! I need to make it longer. Where and how and I do this and keep the integrity of the pattern ?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

If you want to add more rows you can. The stitch counts in the multiples are really tricky as the the 3 types of waterfall concepts aren't in the same stitch count as each other. So the changing of the width I haven't been able to figure it out.

[@juliedefilippisimpson9215]

Only 3 rows in, but I am loving the new stitch. My only issue is that the ombre yarn is splitting and that is making it kind of tricky. Very unusual for Caron yarn. Hopefully it is temporary. Thanks for walking through the stitch slowly! It really does pick up once you get it.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

which kind of hook are you using? It's unusual for sure.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It's a Tunisian Hook.

[@lisajastemski9311]

Is there a reason why I should go in the back hump of the chain?I know that the first row is hard because their is nothing to hold on to. But do I have go thru the back hump in the first row?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It you don't like it, then no. It's my preference so when I revolve around the border at the end the stitch looks the same as the other side. Your call.

[@lisajastemski9311]

Mikey thank you so much it's just I have trouble doing that.thank you for always answering my question. Will post my blanket. Can't wait for the tunisian always want to learn new things your work is beautiful and love your book thank again

[@ramonac6426]

I got the MC Caron Jumbo from Joannes but they did not have the Caron jumbo ombres online or in store. I ended up in store looking for a sub. Red Heart is not my favorite but am subbing with a RH blue ombre and an orange and red ombre. So far it is working out fine, and swatched ok but it is "splitty" compared to the Caron yarn. Just thought I would throw that out for anyone who can't find the Caron jumbo ombre.

[@28pinkdancer]

Oh i am also using red heart ombre! i definitely second that its not my favorite and it is more "splitty" so not the easiest to work with for beginners. but i honestly love their ombre colors more than the caron and you can find them anywhere like at walmart. im also using loops and threads impeccable in the color heather as the main color, and its makes the project softer overall, rather than the whole thing being red heart

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

THank you for sharing this.

[@masongirlkat9612]

What what is the multiple? for making different overall sizes.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

There's no multiple for this one. Because of the different types of shapes made, each are a separate multiple of each other. So the chain has to be crocheted as is or the different shapes won't blend together like you see in the picture.

[@masongirlkat9612]

@@TheCrochetCrowd ok thank you

[@28pinkdancer]

i wanted to make a scarf so heres some things i took note of when reducing the pattern: the stitch multiple for the squares is 5, the stitch multiple for the diamonds is 8 +3. the chevrons dont seem to matter as even the original pattern cuts them off in the middle; so i personally did not consider the chevrons when doing my math. the simplest way for me was to find a multiple of 8+3 that was also a multiple of 5, for the number of stitches i wanted. since i wanted my pattern to be about 1/4 of the original width, that number was 35 stitches for me. 8x4=32, 32+3=35; 5x7=35. this means my final pattern will include 7 squares across and 4 diamonds across. then, since the first three stitches count as a stitch in the starting chain, my starting chain would need to be 34+3, which is 37 for a total of 35 working stitches (about 10.5" following the recommended gauge by the way.) so it can definitely be manipulated to suit your needs! hope my maths can help you get started if you decide to change up the pattern!

Ok still coming up blank can't get pattern instructions typed in and still blank really want to do this

[@lisajastemski9311]

Never had trouble before

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Strange, I don't know what else to do for you. The link works for me.

[@shyreetaallen2306]

This yarn is mighty thin that’s why I like red heart yarn

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Okay noted. I'll let JOANN know you prefer Red Heart for the future. I don't have choices of brands.

The top of my waterfall stitch has a loop on the wrong side. It's like the first YO is too loose. Or is the rest of my stitch too tight? What am I doing wrong? 😕

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Strange why the top is on the wrong side. I don't know why that would be happening to you. I cannot see your motion from this text message to know how you are doing it differently.

[@marybethmaas3551]

@@TheCrochetCrowd what I mean is there's like slack on the back side near the top. I'll watch the steps again. Thanks the reply. This is a really beautiful blanket and I don't want to give up.

@@marybethmaas3551 stick with it……. I am sure you will get it soon. I am still practicing for a while longer before I start the cal.

[@pamelalilley2074]

@@marybethmaas3551 I had the same thing happen with me but you just have to keep ripping it out and doing it over until you get the right tension. He told me to keep practicing and thats what I did. Mine's fine now with no more slack on the back. Bit tedious at first but now I'm breezing through it

[@nkotb4me]

Holy cow. Officially voting the waterfall stitch the worst stitch in the history of crochet. 😢. I’m going to do this damn blanket tho 😅

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Lmao.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thanks.

[@katiescar1ett]

I so dislike this 'back hump' beginning. Other than that this is a beautiful pattern. Thank you Joanne and Mikey!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Then don't do that. That's my own preference so the border will hold together better on that edge. If you don't like it though, do it the way you prefer.
