Crochet blankets. Crochet the Bavarian stitch. This is EASIER than you think

[@Kelnleelovinglife]

Alison your an amazing teacher. Think I may have found my next project. Thank you so much for your tutorials xxx

[@laurelgirard8475]

That looks incredibly soft. The Bavarian stitch usually looks a bit stiff. Beautiful!, The details are gorgeous! I get inspiration looking at new fashions and looking up the stitches either for future reference, or to make something new & different!

[@vanessaolinger3901]

Really like her patterns but I could listen to her ALL DAY LONG because her voice is so soothing with her accent

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

[@gregoryvozar6236]

The chunky yarn gives this blankie such a posh look! So admire your patience and gentle tutoring. You can make the most difficult stitches look easy!

Stunning! But a little bit complicated for me at the moment. Will try it one day when I feel more proficient. ❤️xxxxxx

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

You can do it! Janet get your hook and yarn and follow along try just 8 sets of 8 stitches to begin with even 3 circles will grow and grow. Its 2 rounds 1 round is fans the 2nd is chains and back post stitches. Once you remember that it will fall into place.

Thank you! 😊

[@kathyleahy3276]

This is absolutely beautiful. I see that it is working in the round. This may be a silly question but I want to be sure I chain for as wide as I want it to be and it won’t get wider as I go along and it will just get longer. I hope this makes sense. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial.

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

it will get wider, this grows on all sides chain it to half of what you need it to be. This is designed to make bed spreads the number of circles you make depicts the shape 2 will keep it square all around 3 will make it a little longet than the width 5 will make it rectangle, so lets say its for a baby cot/crib make 7 sections and work it until its long but not to wide like a baby crib/cot blanket once you make one you will see what I mean. (when you do it in the round it always stays square) this way you can make it longer but not so wide if you know what I mean.

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

Lyndie, have faith in yourself get your yarn and hook and crochet along with me you can start with 3 sets of 8 stitches it will still grow big 3 will make a square 5 a rectangle and 7 or more will make a big long rectangle but start with 3 and work along with me. pause or rewind the video you can do it. No one cares how many times you have to rewind and watch you are at home no one will see everything takes time. Try it use a double knitting its slightly thinner and might be more manageable use a hook the yarn label says give it a try.

the sets of 4 are for corners, if you watch the video again and see what i do with the 4 stitches you are talking about. That might help better than me typing it all out. I am useless at written explanations that's why i don't writ out patterns.
