How Fun! Thanks Lala! 🤗😊🧡🧶

[@donnakosik7379]

I can't keep up, LOL I want to make everything you keep making. Every time I see something different I want to make it too. I'm determined to finish the tote bag/beach bag. So far it's going good.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Haha sorry. 😂😂😂😂

[@not2old2bcrafty]

What an excellent idea to make these place mats.

[@debbiecobb5757]

I started years ago to make the American flag afghan that my gram had in a crochet magazine it was big and got to be to much for me! Oh how I wish I had finished that afghan. It was actually a ton of red, white, and blue squares double crochet back loop only. I may try to start it again only a smaller version, these placemats are adorable.

[@joycekama4124]

Great tutorial. I have already purchased the pattern. Thanks so very much. You are an excellent teacher.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Thank you so much Joyce!

[@ardithearnhardt2782]

Hi Tiffany, the placemats is very nice. Great for the Fourth of July. ♥️🧶

[@MsSusieq1960]

This is a nice pattern. Thank you, you made the switch between colors look so easy

[@tiahill832]

Thanks so much for sharing! I made some years ago. My son was in the Army at the time and I thought it would be cool to make for him and my daughter in law for the 4th of July. I couldn't find a pattern then so I made it up myself. It was a pain, I crocheted all the little stars for it (not 50) lol. Yours is so much better! 😊😊 Have a great weekend! 😊❤😘

[@naomiacaprio4164]

Tiffany, thank you for sharing this with us 🇺🇸 Hope your 4th of July party is great 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@vickiemouse236]

Thank you so much for sharing this pattern♥️🇺🇸 A dear friend is a master with tablescapes and I know she will love these🌸

[@lovestocrochet3110]

I am so thankful you made this. I have been requested to make a flag blanket for my bff's husband. I have been pondering how to make the stats. I used Jayda's star pattern and it turned out great. However it looked more like a starfish after attaching. Never even thought of using felt. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️😆

[@mariawhitehorse9535]

Really nice, I love it. Thank you

[@barbaraking9966]

Very cute have a great 4of July 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@bubba16]

My niece would love this pattern, she collects Americana . You mentioned coasters that might be easier for me to tackle

[@alisongomes684]

Very cool for the 4th!!!

[@samanthastewart7133]

Hi tiffany hansen right now I am working on a mosaic blanket and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and I would like to make this placement for the 4th of July holiday sometime

[@chattingwithmarci1624]

I will definitely try making this flag

[@aliceincrochetland8408]

Love it ❤ thank so much for sharing.

[@vickythoeni3818]

Great flag I have a afghan made sorta of the same bur I used a 3 weight white and the blue to make the flag part it was called the no flag blanket by Charmed Grammy Crochet (Lynette)

[@fotochani]

Thanks! So perfectly cute 😍

[@bamcalif_kayetriot]

Those are amazing I love it!! 🇺🇸 Hope I have the patience, gonna give it a try!!

[@lorihuff6702]

Just saw these. Love it. If i remember correctly you are from Texas. You should do a Texas one!!

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

I am from Texas!! Great memory! I’ve thought about it but with ALL of the projects on my list, it probably won’t happen for a very long time. 😂

[@mipcee8124]

Love it! Thank you Tiffany!

[@flowergirl9771]

Awesome!

[@michelebingham5102]

I love this!!!

[@marygunter9614]

Hi Tiffany, I love this pattern. I’m looking for the star paper punch, is the star a 1 inch, 1 1/2 or 5/8. Thank you

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Mary! The star that I made was 1 inch in across. I'm so excited for you to make this placemat! 😊🧡🧶

[@mariaoliveiraespinho]

Amazing 👏👏👏

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Thank you so much Maria!

[@VeronicaJones58]

Hi Tiffany, would I continue with 51 sts if I wanted to make a wall hanging??? Thank you so much 😊

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Susie! That is completely up to you! I went according to the ratio dimensions of the actual flag. Perhaps you could make it and just hang it sideways maybe? 🤷‍♀️😊🧡🧶

[@VeronicaJones58]

@@CrochetWithTiffany Thank you

[@ruthriley5019]

I would like to make this but just a little larger. How do i figure out the stitch count? Im sorry i am pretty new but do really well on most patterns i have tried. This one is for some veterans I know and I am so confused on starting it it is driving me crazy. I thought they wanted an afghan but they said no they want to hang it and for it to be smaller. Yours is the one i think i could do pretty quick but just need it a bit bigger if i can.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Ruth! I gotcha. I tried to keep the dimensions of the placemat proportional to the dimensions of the actual flag. I you would like to do the same I would take the number of stitches and number of rows and try doubling everything. Double the amount of rows and double the amount of stitches in each row. This should keep everything proportional AND make the project a little larger. IF you don't want to quite go that big maybe multiply both the number of stitches and the number of rows by 1.5. I hope this makes sense. The idea is to try to keep the pattern grouped and the same and whatever change you make to the pattern you make to everything in the pattern as a whole. I hope this makes sense. If it would help, take what I'm saying to someone who is pretty good with math and see if they can help make sense of what I'm saying. 😊🧶❤️

[@nails_n_nature]

Nice❣

[@victoriarosehosker7415]

Hi Tiffany.... I would like to know if you have a pattern of "The Union Jack" as I'm from England x

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

I don't unfortunately however if you draw up a diagram on some grid paper you will know where to do your color changes. I hope that helps! 😊🧶❤️

[@susanmorris5294]

What size hooks and what color yarns and what kind do you use ? Lilly sugar and cream.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Susan! I mention the materials I used within the video but I also have them listed out in both the description section and pinned to the top of the comment section here for you convenience. 😊🧡🧶

[@Linda-c1s6c]

How do you figure the size of the blue comparable to red and white so it doesn’t look uneven?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

That is a great question! One that I had to do research on because I wanted the same thing. 😄If you google, the American Flag Color Dimensions it will tell you. I followed the proportions and shrank it down as best I could. 😊💖🧶

[@1Grannygurt]

Do the stars remain flexible ? I made a large blanket have 50 stars to attach to it - trying to find an easier method than sewing but it has to sty soft and moveable.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Great question. Mine have stayed flexible, though if you are wanting to make stars for a blanket I still recommend you crochet them to keep the texture consistent AND I'm not sure how nice the felt will look after multiple washes. It would be a shame to work so long and hard on your blanket and have the felted stars effect the look at all. You can still attach crocheted stars to your blanket using the Aleene's Fabric Fusion Quick Dry Fabric Glue that I show in the video. The bond between fibers will be super strong and you won't have to sew anything. Multiple washes will not affect the bond either. This is the only Fabric Glue I swear by if you would like the best results with your crochet project: CLICK HERE: amzn.to/3RACqvb

[@1Grannygurt]

I crocheted 50 stars for my blanket and I and super hesitant about my idea to use the glue - many hours went into this blanket and I don't want to ruin it. Thank you for your response.

[@brendalund4865]

Do you think it would work to hot glue on 50 croched stars to your American flag blanket?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

That's a really smart idea Brenda! That would work great! 🤗🧶❤️

Hi

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hello. 👋

[@wishywashy1153]

Did you really have to consult a veteran for the correct orientation of the American Flag?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Oh I didn't reach out to anyone, I just googled it to make sure I had the exact measurement and could represent the flag dimensions with respect. That's all. 😊💖🧶

[@ShilohSapir]

Why are there only 18 Stars on your placemat which is supposed to represent the US FLAG? It doesn't.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

You are absolutely right. It is suppose to just be a fun example you can use. I couldn't fit 50 starts in the space and make it look good. But if someone was determined to get 50 stars in the space I say Power To Them! You Could also just make 13 and have it represent the original 13 colonies also.
