I'm going to make this for a co-worker. She is having a boy in October, I've been searching for a baby blanket I liked! This is a simple stitch but I really love the way it looks! Great job 👍 I'm thinking I'm going to use a really soft grey for my base color and a grey/yellow/blue mix for row 3 and border. I'll post a picture if it turns out nice.

[@cabinfevercrochet]

So attractive, love how you combined the colors.

Beautiful, I live in ireland and can't buy wool here, can I order online 😀

[@sandrae4515]

Thank you. Here is my story. I have been crocheting for many years. All those years I have depended on crochet instruction videos for learning new stitches. All those years my stitch counting was a failure. As hard as I tried, and with my final products being quite good, but never exactly square or not exactly rectangle, and not exactly with straight edges 😊 In this video you gave such excellent end of row and beginning of row instruction regarding the chain two (instead of chain three). You showed clearly where to put a stitch marker, with pointing out the loops to count upwards on the turning chain, all very helpful. Also you clearly explained and showed us that the turning chain counts as the first or the last “double crochet”. Thank you. Now my friends and relatives will be receiving as gifts, afghans that ARE actually square or rectangle.😁

[@KathyHinkle]

This is a beautiful Afghan!❤️

You are an amazing teacher. Your voice is unmistakable and unforgettable. I’ve learned so much from you. Thank You so very much. Michele ❤

[@Fredig]

I just made this blanket for my cousin's great grandson. I used blue instead of the white. With the limited use of my hand, it was hard and painful but also easier than most patterns. Thank you for posting this pattern! I love it!

[@liap1293]

I love this baby afghan! I appreciate the way you teach for beginners, too, without assuming we know things. Can't wait to make it.

[@barbaram1404]

I fully agree. Great teacher, intense knowledge and great teaching techniques. Love this!

[@psmensah]

You are such a very good teacher, taking your time very slowly and very detailed.

[@LisaHowardStormytexn]

I just have to say, I have attempted to follow a lot of patterns and yours are so easy to understand and really the very best videos I have seen. I just cant say thank you enough. I taught myself to crochet two years ago and I finally feel like I can attempt some of the prettier things!

[@rosapalomares9861]

Donde as pedido el hilo? y cuanto cuesta ? Gracias

[@Oceangirl_505]

​@@rosapalomares9861I just found this yarn on Amazon! I ordered it, May 2024. I hope this helps you ❤

[@huckleberryfarm4407]

Thank you for sharing, I haven't crochet in about 30 years and even then I was intimidated by blankets. This will be my first one. I really appreciate that you went slowly and explained thoroughly what you were doing. I now feel confident that I can make this blanket. It helped me tremendously that you didn't just work up a small swatch, I loved seeing the entire blanket completed.

[@brendamcchristy6044]

Your blanket is so lovely. I'm busy at the moment but have to save this and return. Thanks Glenda

Great video. You have a pleasant voice, precise instructions with no annoying extra words. Thank you very much

[@kl8132]

I love your videos. You always give the "anatomy" of the crochet stitch which I can't tell you how helpful it is. I've been crocheting for about 3yrs now and to have a friendly a quick review is very very helpful. Thank you

[@sagittarian1955]

Hi, Glenda! Love this pattern! So pretty and deceptively easy! Thanks! If I haven't said it lately, I really appreciate all the thought and effort you put into your content.

[@ginwooten1637]

You are, hands down, the best teacher on KZbin. It is so easy to follow along with your tutorials. I made this afghan with white and Christmas variegated yard, and it was lovely. I'm making another with the pastels now. Thank you so much!

[@peggyharwell3674]

Pretty.

[@Lisa..4]

WOW. I love this!! You are correct. You can do so many color matches with this pattern. I really enjoy working with Premier. As a beginner I find it user friendly. I must say I think this is my new favorite.

[@wandadavis3171]

Wonderful tutorial love to see the stitches as you explain the pattern. This baby blanket pattern will be perfect for my first grand baby. Thank you so much.

[@NancySmalls41]

It's a beautiful baby blanket and I love how you're very thorough when you're doing your tutorial

[@michellepissk-schupak5440]

I love your pattern and can only imagine how many other wonderful patterns you have. I can't wait to watch another of your videos. You are very good at instructing. Thank you.

[@brendaayotte7816]

I was just on premier's website because I bought the basix chenille sometime last year before I was hospitalized with covid jn December. I have no idea what pattern I was supposed to make with the yarn. I now keep a list of the yarn and color with the pattern on a list. I'm sure it was a afghan of some kind!!! I was looking at lullaby also today online and trying to match it with something else other than white. Lullaby is very pretty. So is Impressionist. With they would do a multi color with southwest shades. I love premier yarns. Told my friend to try them and that's all she uses now also. She and my aunt are the only 2 persons I know that crochet. Been using only Premier for years. I get deliveries all the time from them @ some point I need to get these used. I miss their mystery boxes wish they would bring them back. Need to make this baby afghan because my moms church has a baby shower 2x a year for less fortunate moms to-be. I gave her 2 baby afghans for her gift again this year. Keep the great patterna comming Glenda!!! #MakeItPremier

[@NonnaE828]

Wow, this is beautiful and easy too. Thank you Glenda.

[@deirdreevans5533]

Hi Glenda👋🏾 I'm so glad I found this tutorial! I'm working on it now after following your instructions and watching this tutorial I am finding it an easy & very beautiful pattern. For this baby blanket I am using Caron One Pound Soft pink yarn as the main color and Caron One pound Lilac as the accent color. I absolutely love the way it is working up😊 Thank you for the easy instructions. 💜🙏🏾

[@briannem.osborne3109]

Perfect blanket and pattern! I wish you would have shown an example of how you sew in the ends though!

[@sheilachorley5021]

I love the way that multi shaded yarn works in this blanket. It's as if you change colour for every stitch along that row and the white makes the colours stand out beautifully. Thank you 😊💓

[@nadinejones9703]

What a pretty blanket,,, can’t start anything else now but it’s on my list,,, … thanks..❤️🌼

[@janedc5ch319]

I have to put it on my list also. I have two projects before I can start it. I ask my son to buy my yarn. He gets upset if the list is to long. If he takes me it's hard because I cant walk far. He pushes me in a wheelchair and it's hard to push a cart then me. So I give him a list. My last list was about 30 aliens. Not a happy man. So I cut it way down to 15.

[@lucialinares2516]

Hola te quedo preciosa 🧶🧶🧶🧶Dios bendiga tus manos tejes muy bonito

[@Rachel_lyn]

This is a very pretty baby blanket. And a great tutorial. I love making blankets. I think I’m going to make a Christmas one. Thank you. 🙋🏼‍♀️💜🇨🇦

[@gloriahopf9897]

This is a brilliant tutorial. The pattern is simple but your techniques to join a different colour keeping to the right side of the work, attaching a border and keeping symmetry are helpful. Thank you for your patience and for sharing your skill with us.

[@marialiliacanasvilla4780]

Bonito el motivo y sencillo felicitaciones 👏
