Jayda, I learned how to crochet exclusively through your videos! I love your tutorials, you always make me feel like I CAN do it, I don't feel overwhelmed when I'm doing one of your patterns. You're so encouraging, and you have such a positive, fun way of teaching, plus you are truly excellent at knowing what might need to be explained more clearly for the newbie, and you do it well. I started trying to teach myself crochet several years ago, and if I hadn't stumbled upon your tutorials, I'm not sure that I would've stuck with it. I would consider myself an avid crocheter these days, and although I know I still have lots to learn, it's a valued hobby that I enjoy immensely, and I'd like to thank you for your part in that!

I had one skein of the same colors so it was meant to be! My mint skein must have been returned after using a bit because I was barely able to win at yarn chicken with that color. I did 6 rows of each color then changed to the next color. I’m about to do the border in white because I don’t have much left and I don’t want to chance running out then having to frog it and redo in white.

Lovely pattern:) You are using my favorite yarn. Checked my stash and I have some, so this will be on my hook soon. Would like to know your finished dimensions - was not in the written pattern either. Looking forward to any patterns you come up with for the Roving yarn. I bought some on sale - absolutely love the look of it. Thank you for the great tutorial😊

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Margaret, the written pattern includes the dimensions (before blocking) in the notes section on page 2 and it's also in the pattern description in our shop 💗 Before blocking it's 27.5 x 30". But of course you can make it larger too if you're using more yarn (like the Big Scoop). I hope that helps 😊

[@martafrench5079]

Hi Jada!! Could you please tell me what measurements are for the blanket before the border?? I've done 60 rows, and it doesn't seem to be tall enough compared to how much bigger yours looks. Could I add another 10 rows and still do the border right?? I just want to be sure!! 😊

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Marta, before the border (and any blocking) it's around 28 to 29" long. You can most definitely add more rows, but you might need to get into another ball of yarn (I didn't have much left over 😊)
