My favourite crochet pattern was a C2C, then I loved doing the Call the Midwife. I came across your youtube tutorial the other night and I am now hooked on this one. Clear instructions and it is so easy when you think about it. Maybe it was the accent that helped. I watched another one, but was nowhere as clear as yours. Thank you so much. I am making a few of these to leave with my oldest niece for generations to come. xxxx

I was born in 1950 and remember seeing many babies wrapped in this blanket during the 50s and 60s.Have been crocheting since I was 8 and have crocheted many patterns but this one always scared me to try it.Your tutorial and explanation is so clear and easy to follow I am going to make it now but bigger as a lap blanket for my hubby.Thanks for giving me the confidence to do it.As usual your tutorials are gold. I cannot follow a written pattern,never have been able to,but have made many things using your tutorials.Just finished a scarf using the bunny ears pattern you demonstrated.Came out beautifully.

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

I was born in 62 and my mum had quite a few kids so we had 2 that handed down the line one blue and one pink also the call the midwife ones. I recently got a fillet crochet book from ebay from the 60's with some lovely patterns in it.

Is this your creation, it sure is beautiful. Very unusual. Border is beautiful....oh its been around for the longest..mmmm. I think the older crochet patterns were more elegant than the new ones.

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

No it's no my creation I saw it on another channel In USA terms and I did it in UK terms for beginners. I love fillet crochet and I have quite a few old books on it too and I agree as most of the older crochet was done in thinner yarns 2, 3 and 4ply they were much more delicate.

I learned to crochet from a written pattern in a book in the 70’s. I can’t tell you how much easier this would have been! So many times I pulled out rows because it didn’t look like the picture. If I’d had you tube then my craft life would have been so much more fun! Thank you💕🇨🇦

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

my mother always said crochet is 45% pattern and 65% looking at the picture on the booklet way back then loads of patterns were printed with huge mistakes in them. So she always made sure she got ones with a clear picture to look at to see how it works out and how its supposed to look. I remember her ripping stuff out and saying to her friend it's got to be the pattern that's wrong and she was right 99% of the time.
