[@ashleelarsen5002]

10:10 NO! This reinforces their stupidity 🤪

[@kristinesnyder2640]

Note that the written pattern says 4 dc's make up the shell when it should be 5.

[@comfortinthewindsunshinegl9913]

Thank you Mikey! I was trying to follow the written pattern but it just wasn't working. I also wanted to make this an afghan rather than a blanket and you always help us by giving us the formula for changing the sizes. (I came up one short also so next time will add the 10 instead of 9) After watching your video I realized that the pattern says to only do 4 stitches in making up the shell rather than the 5 you showed us here... works perfectly now! My 95 year old mother by choice will love this! Appreciate so much!

[@cherylmagdalena]

Woooohooo, I just finished my blanket. The size is 65" wide and 77" long. I had to adjust it by starting out with a chain of 202, but you made that easy, Mikey. You gave me the secret code. It has worked up so fast. It took me about 7 hours to complete. It is such an easy pattern to remember. I used an anti-pilling, premium acrylic yarn in light dusty rose. It came out so beautiful. Thanks so much for this tutorial. My best friend will be so happy and surprised by this 🥰❤💯❤🥰🙏

[@Allie.lit84]

I love this pattern but I also love straight edges so for the first stitch of each row, I ch 2 then dc in next stitch. For the last 2 stitches on each row I dc2tg in the last two. Made straight edges. 💜 beautiful and easy to do!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thank you for leaving this very helpful tip! Super appreciate your experience.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

CORRECTION: MULTIPLES ARE 16+10.

[@ivywildwss]

That yarn is still gorgeous. Love this pattern as an alternative to crochet "feather and fan".

[@kristinesnyder2640]

I am so happy that this video is available, I thought I was losing my mind! I'm not sure if the written pattern has an error, or if I'm not reading it correctly (still working on reading and fully understanding patterns). Anyway, my understanding was that the shell was made of 4 double crochets, not 5 as shown in the video here. On my way to frog, hopefully for the last time so I can get this one done! Thanks again!

[@janpaas1944]

After watching your video and crocheting along with you several times I thought I’d try doing it just by reading the pattern and then it all made sense. The one thing I discovered after several attempts is the the first row of the pattern says to dc in the 4th chain from the hook and then do a dc in the next TWO chains, not the next 3 chains as you did. That explains why you were short a chain at the end of that row. Rows 2 and 3 start out the way you did it, however the starting row is different. Thank you for your video!

[@supportchange]

Thank you for making this video. In the written instructions on Michael's site and the packaging, for the first row it says "Skip next 4 ch. all in next ch - Shell made." I had no idea what "Shell made" meant! I'll be done with my 2nd skein and starting the 3rd today and it is looking beautiful! I am using the Blueberry Scone color because it really reminded me of beach colors and I'm making it for a friend who loves the beach. It's a very easy pattern and would recommend to any level of experience. Thanks again Mikey!

[@YaYa-lz1zt]

I just finished making this afghan for my dad and it was totally a fun pattern. What a great tutorial Mikey!

[@beccaholmes9800]

Just started this tonight. I am LOVING it so far. I love that you say to fudge it at the end if you need to(I was one stitch short so I faked it lol).

[@zhinka1]

oHHH it is like ocean waves on the sides as well! BRILLIANT

[@sylviamaxwell504]

Love love love this, making in red heart super saver blue tones, just added to my stash from resale shop and have 5 skeins. 💖 size 8mm hook, 7 groups of 16 and then the 10 extra....approximately 40" wide and 3" tall.....heehee..just started it!

[@pdc3711]

I really thought I was reading the pattern wrong because of the 'jut' at the end. Now I see how it looks I think I'll go with the actual pattern rather than modifying it for a 'clean' look at the ends. Thanks for the video. :)

[@RitaMillerLA]

BTW, the stitch multiple for the chain is 16 + 10 (not 16 + 9 as you stated, which is why you came up 1 stitch too short).

[@MsMatador7]

I love this pattern...As you were constructing the first row i said, oh that would make a lovely scarf and sure enough it did...I did a multiple of 16+10 and made a beautiful infinity scarf out of scrap balls of Caron Big Cakes and Bernat Pop, lol..

[@knitsnknacks]

Throw back to when big cakes had nice colourways

[@moirawest1443]

Oh thank you! I have started and ripped this apart 3 times - now I can see what is going on. I'll make it through this time!

[@reggieschippers5007]

Hi Mike, Thank you for this pattern. I just finished my blanket and it looks amazing.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm so happy for your accomplishment.

[@RitaMillerLA]

Good thing you did this video, since the pattern on Michael's site completely omits how to do the Shell!

[@laurakave844]

Rita Miller yesss! I'm so glad my friend found the video! I'm good at reading patterns but I kept staring at that one thinking I missed something. The Canadian version doesn't have the mistake!

[@RitaMillerLA]

Thanks, Laura. I'll take a look at that one then.

[@boatwidow2002]

That's why I came to the video

[@micheleakers3693]

Thank you Mikey for the great tutorial! Took me no time to get the 2 row repeat down pat.

[@savanahlee3743]

So pretty, I will be making this next. Thanks! You are a great teacher.

[@susandoney4656]

Hi Mikey, thank you so much for this tutorial, I have 8 Caron cakes in the colour Bumbleberry (purple is my favourite colour) and I've been trying to figure out what to make with them, I knew I wanted a throw or something for my bed, people were telling me to make little squares and join them together, that was not really what I wanted to do, then I came across this pattern and I think this is the one, so I've started on my first cake and it's starting to look great, I have a 7 hour road trip coming up and being a passenger in the car I really needed something to do, so this is perfect to do. I love your tutorials thank you very much from a West Australian fan 😊🤗🤩😍😉🐨🇦🇺🏆💖💝🐨 I hope you had a wonderful Easter 2022 🐇🐰🐥🐤🐣🐇

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Enjoy your stitching journey. It's a great little pattern to enjoy. Enjoy your 7 hour journey.

[@condor43]

I just ordered 3 Caron Cakes... now I see u used Caron Big Cakes....I'm a little perturbed but I'll get over it.

[@carolebingert7218]

The stitch multiple is wrong. I got 16 + 12. That's 8 for the wave half pattern added at the end plus 4 for the chain up . I did it 3 times and finally had to add ahead 3 Dc when I used the pattern's directions. I think the designer was thinking row 2 started with a sc instead of a dc. Beautiful easy pattern. I also tried it with straight edges but I like the bumps, so it dos not need edging. Thanks Mikey for a lovely video.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Is the video wrong or the pattern wrong? Sorry, I am unsure exactly what you mean here.

[@kayg3054]

Thank you so much,this is the most beautiful gorgeous Afghan.Thank you so much again.

[@TheNadiaStar]

Beautiful. Planing on making a baby blanket from this pattern.

[@kayg3054]

Thank you so much MICHAEL.I love all your tutorials.

[@7peacefrog]

This is so cute and I love the yarn color and this is the first color that I want to try :) Thanks for the video

[@truthaldatime4642]

I found a way to make this blanket with straight edges completly IGNORE the chain up three at the beginning and at the end of every row. Begin with *( ch3 , 3 dc ) end of row ( 2dc , dc2together ) 😊

[@annkruml]

When I first saw this pattern I knew that I had to start this it is beautiful. I have four other projects that I have to do but I had to start this new pattern LOL it is beautiful and I'm sure that I'm movie making more of these. Thank you Mikey.

[@zenchilladas]

Annette R hahaha I almost did the same thing but resisted!!!!

[@annkruml]

Rachel Welke i just finished it a day or so ago. Lol it's my favorite pattern.

[@zenchilladas]

Annette R do you like the edges?

[@annkruml]

Rachel Welke i do. It's different. Have you tried yet? Thinking about making 2 more.

[@zenchilladas]

Annette R no, I haven't tried it yet, because I fear my edges won't line up. That's so cool! Have you been using the Caron cakes?

[@jenariv517]

Omg!! I love it! Thank you! 😘😘😘😘❤️💕❤️💕 love you. 💋💋

[@jackieyepez2013]

Beautiful afghan thanks again

[@spcatmom]

Can I start with a row of sc and if so, would it change the +10 part?

[@joseanker2059]

Do you have a pattern for a shawl using this gorgeous stitch?

[@dawnamendola8690]

I know this pattern has been out for awhile .I'm getting ready to start it and I watched the tutorial. Then I go to written pattern and use that but the written pattern is different than instructions in the tutorial... which should I follow ? The tutorial says you'll have 4 double crochet in the beginning ( ch 3 plus 3 db crochet) the written instructions say 3 in the beginning ( ch 3 plus 2 db crochet ) then tutorial says 5 db in the one stitch separated by ch 1 the written pattern says a total of 4 db crochet in the one stitch each separated by a chain one???? If you follow instructions on written pattern then yes 16+ 9 works if you follow the tutorial then 16+ 10 works

[@dianne71047]

Is there a lefty version of the video? I can't seem to find one in a search. LOVE the look of this design. Tried just the written pattern but I was doing something wrong.

[@nicolewardin7493]

I would like to add a border...anyone have any ideas? I'm using the fringe but just want to shape the sides a bit....any suggestions are greatly appreciated 😊

[@augustcanyon3438]

Classic country for me please. Boho for my niece.

[@condor43]

I like doing foundation chains [sc,hdc..either/or] is that OK to do? I think it looks neater.

[@strivingformindfulness2356]

154 equals (16*9)+10. 16*9=144.

[@Magic1Angie]

Yes was just thinking that - 154 doesn't work as 16+9, think the count must be 16+10 maybe?

[@lynnwinter94]

Oh I love it mikey, thank u x

[@jennyradon558]

I am doing the Yarnspirations pattern, and I am confused. It says "*Skip next 4 ch. I get that. [1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc) 4 times all in next ch - Shell made" - that gives me 8 double crochets in the shell. Like 4 v-stitches. Is that not right?

[@stonecrestquilt]

For the shell at the top-DC-Ch1-DC-Ch1--DC-Ch 1-DC-Ch1-then DC. No chain before the first DC and no chain after the last DC.

[@MultiProudMother]

I feel ya Jenny

[@julieward9563]

The instructions are confusing for this part. The shell should have 5 dcs each with chain 1's in between: dc, ch1, dc, ch1, dc, ch1, dc, ch1, dc

[@annavanleeuwen5737]

Heel leuk dit

[@jennakimbo]

Help! I chained 154. I have 10 shells and it ends row 1 one the shell… so obviously I can’t start the 2nd row the same way. What do I do?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I don't understand what pattern you are making. The repeating for this isn't the same for the larger sizes. I have a complete differently calculation for those. But I am unsure what pattern you are doing.

[@jennakimbo]

@@TheCrochetCrowd hi thanks for your reply. I’m making this blanket in the video. You say to Chain 154. Anyway, I cheated and undid the chain row at the beginning (without undoing my other row) it’s working out now I think.

[@tammysnyder5759]

What big cake color was used to make the blanket on the right at the beginning of the video? Beautiful!

[@ahenderiffic]

Tammy Snyder he mentions it at the beginning of the tutorial :)

[@samanthamccoleman1198]

The one with the blues? No, he didn't say. I wish he'd used it, though.

[@boatwidow2002]

Looks like Nightberry

[@pammy1ita1]

I bpugjt the 3 in one but it doesnt make it big enough. I prob. misunderstood. But I love the pattern.

[@boatwidow2002]

Pam D'Agustini you need 3 skeins of the Caron Big Cakes, not one

[@kayg3054]

Thank you so much

[@BonnieRatcliff]

Good Morning, Mikey! This video won't let me do the transcript on it. Can you fix that so I can fix the wording for you please? Thanks! Bonnie Ratcliff

[@crabbatabba]

Love it!!!!!!!😍💕😍💕😍💕

[@bfvargas8]

beatifull thanks

[@susanbarber9398]

What is the size of the afghan?

[@condor43]

I' confused.... u say 3 Caron Big Cakes but on the website to get the materials for this project, it has a quantity of 2....

[@aniketthosar4743]

to begin with..are the doubles crochets worked in the back loops?

[@sddrake1]

aniket thosar I have the same question! Did you ever get an answer?

[@gwenpryor]

Would the pattern work with regular Caron Cakes?

[@zenchilladas]

Gwen Pryor yes, youd just need more cakes.

[@strivingformindfulness2356]

Yes; figure 5 regular cakes to have enough for the project. From Michael's Arts & Crafts website: Reg. Caron cake: 7.1oz (200g)/ 383yds (350m) Big Caron cake: 10.5oz (300g)/ 603yds (551m)

[@carolinagrutzius1580]

Row 2 and 3 in this video doesn’t match the Michaels pattern

[@kayg3054]

Dear MICHAEL, I am doing this Afghan that I love so much. I have 3 of the Caron cakes .they are only 350 m .Can you please tell me how many meters are on your Caron big cakes. Thank you so much.

[@strivingformindfulness2356]

Michael's Arts & Crafts website lists the big cakes at 551m (603 yds).

[@boatwidow2002]

603 yards/551 metres

[@laurakave844]

There is a major mistake in the written pattern on Michael's website US version. The Canadian version is correct.

[@shannanduncan384]

I agree, I could not figure out what they meant by shell made when there was no directions for making the shell but this video help explain it.

[@michellemunn7959]

Where do u find the can version

[@onlyuzero7]

Waiting for Tha ruana tutorial. ...

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Krissy Alford it will be a few weeks. I have to make prototype first. Sorry.

[@sddrake1]

How to Crochet - The Crochet Crowd - is row one worked into the back loop of the chain?

[@cassandracurneal8447]

The stitch multiple is 16 + 9, what he did wrong is he accidentally skipped 5 chains instead of 4 like you are supposed to before he did the hill thing, that's why he was missing a chain.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thanks for pointing that out. Appreciate that. :D

[@dawnamendola8690]

No i believe the Stitch count is 16 plus 10 I did sample 3 different times with 16 plus 9 and i came up short EVERY TIME, I'm sure I didn't mis count or skip too many all 3 times ...

[@janpaas1944]

I figured out how he was short one chain at the end of his first row…the pattern says to dc in t he 4th chain from the hook and then dc in the next TWO chains, not the next 3 as he did in the video. This first row is different from rows 2 and 3. My sample worked out beautifully with 16 + 10 after I caught that mistake in the video.😊

[@happyfuncasinotime199]

Please HELP! I have redone row 1 like 4 times. I keep getting 8 shells and 4 left over chains. what am I doing wrong. Is there anyone else having this issue? I'm going crazy!

[@susank7977]

Same thing happened to me. It seems the number of stitches cast on is wrong. I guess you just have to figure out the right number of stitches to cast on to get 9 shells.

[@michellemunn7959]

@@susank7977 I get the nine shells with 154 but I also only have to chains left like Mikey does

[@fornks4eva]

154 not working at all!!!

It;s still the same brand of yarn. Colour is irrelevant for just showing a swatch. I'm sorry to have disappointed you.
