I've made countless dozens of afghansI. Too many to count over the years. They are my go to gifts for weddings and baby showers. I Iove to crochet but... dealing with yarn ends? grrrrr This is brilliant AND beautiful. Definitely going to be on my to do list. Love it. Many thanks to you. You are an excellent instructor even for a seasoned crocheter like myself!

[@heartwings2517]

Thanks so much! I primarily knit kids sweaters that I donate to a charity, but that leads to lots of leftovers that I usually crochet into scarves to donate. I like to crochet scarves better as no blocking and I am all for no lengthy finishing work! That is a nice stitch to use for scarves of many colors, so I will definitely use it next time I go to my basket of leftover bits! One grandma taught me to knit and the other to crochet about 60 years ago- the gift that keeps on giving! I was not very interested at the time, but I really appreciate it now!

[@suzum.9713]

My grandma used to crochet and quilt regularly. She once tried to teach me to crochet when I was 10 or so, but I just couldn't catch on. Years later, when I was 17, my sister finally got through to me and I managed to learn on the same day that she announced she was pregnant with her third baby. Delighted, I went home and began a baby blanket for her, staying up all night to get it done. The next morning I gifted it to her and she was FLABBERGASTED. LOL, it was such a fun surprise.

The way you work your tails in with the tassels is the best idea/hack that I’ve seen in a long time! There’s so many stitches where this would be a great time saver. In fact I’m working on a stitch sampler blanket where some of the stitches I’m using you change colors every row and I was dreading having to weave in all those tails but now I don’t have to so thank you so much for this tip! Take care 💜

Hi there! I agree, finding someone teaching who take their time to not only explain thing's clearly but to actually show us 'exactly" where to put the next stitch! I know when I first started crocheting again I had trouble recognizing which was the next stitch, it tripped me up a lot and I did a lot of frogging and it was extremely aggravating. And I almost just stuck with knitting and that would have been a tragedy bc I've gotten quite good thanks to these awesome teacher like Christa!

[@lyndacull3074]

Thank you for this pattern. I recalled learning it many, many years ago, but couldn't remember how to start or finish. I was cleaning my craft room and used all my left-overs of baby yarn to make the cutest scrap afghan for a sweet friend who's having a baby boy. She adored it.

[@kayceegreer4418]

I did a V stitch blanket this very same way and by beginner's luck or maybe I'm just blessed cuz somebody up there likes me , I used a fudgy brown color and a cafe-au-lait color and a variegated yarn that had both of those colors plus a lovely turquoise with some in-between beigy color in it. As I altered from fudgy to Cafe Au Lait back to fudgy and then the variegated w/ turquoise, and then reverse the order again, it ended up that the variegated yarn stitches in between the two fudge colored strips looked as though I had done some sort of fancy Magic Stitchery! It was just the way the colors fell as I made my stitches, it was as though I had done some sort of fancy zig-zag stitch which the v-stitch is, sort of, depending on how you look at it on each row, but that's not it, folks kept telling me it look like some sort of Indian woven blanket or something. . . It was amazing! Very striking color combination. P.S. after I realized this was happening after I had said it down a couple of times to have a break or go to work and I laid it out one time to check all of my stitches for sure because I had forgotten to do that and had to rip too much out at one time, I did end up pulling some out so that I could gauge my stitches a little bit better and in some places because of the short length of one of the colors in the variegated yarn I had to pull my stitches tighter or even change down or up a hook size to make sure of placement for the ebb and flow to continue to work as well as it had luckily so far and now I think I learned that that is called color-pooling am I right? I'm self-taught I don't know.

[@dilemmix]

Haha I know right!

[@kayceegreer4418]

@@dilemmix , right ! I saw in duplicated a V stitch that started out this way with a simple chain and then when you turn and go back on the chain you just make V stitches. Ty and not in the end and cut at the same length as your beginning was and it will look okay with the single strings or you can add tassels. To cover the end strings. Can't tell you how many compliments I got that the tassels were not flopping in somebody's face when they borrowed an afghan!

This pattern is ideal, it looks great but also not too intricate that my hands are able to handle it.

Have u met up with T L Crafts (TLC), maybe it's T&L Crafts? Love her! Have you ever checked out any video titles for crochet or knitting (some these non-english speakers call crochet "knitting" I suppose by the dictionary definition of knitting together or being knit together, it pretty much means the same thing if something is tied together/strung together or otherwise heals together again, it is by definition knit2gether - see whut i did there? )l have weird words or scribbly writing or even Russian these ladies are phenomenal their skills are unmatched by any American videos I have ever seen and they take the time to show everything very carefully. You may not understand a word that they are saying but you can tell that they are warning you about something that you need to watch out for but regardless of not understanding the language they pointed out to you either with the hook or a darning-needle or a close-up or pointed out with their finger... and you can always go to the three dots up in the corner of your screen or settings it wherever they are on your laptop if that's what you're looking on, and you can change your playback speed to slow it down as much as you need to so that you will not have to keep rewinding. I have even begun to learn a little bit about counting in Turkish,I already know how to count in Spanish and Italian is close enough, Portuguese is not too far,and the Malaysian ladies and oh my goodness the ones south-of-the-border and on into South America from the United States OMG the mosaics and some of the complex things they do are really not so complex after all! Some of these Turkish ladies videos that I have found eventually encouraged me to literally knit with two needles some very extremely easy things they look so complicated but they go so fast I was a novice who knew nothing more than to cast on one way... but now I know that there are probably about three or four ways to cast on, six ways to knit and im very interested in speed knitting and lever knitting which I have not seen done but I did learn that it exists and I'm going to look that up. I have also learned that Tunisian knitting goes faster than all of them and is thicker and still uses less yarn then regular crochet. That was from an article I found on which yarn art uses the least that I found on the internet. Happy hooking!

[@nancytunis7472]

I took a 'vacation' from needlework to raise my babies (also being Very Careful to spend only on the necessities, nothing extra for yarn), but I've been back in the last 16 years. Lots of friends are either stopping or starting, so I get extra needles and hooks and all varieties of yarns and cords, and sometimes I can give away and sometimes receive. Right now my yarn bags are 'sort of' sorted by what I want to work myself, and what I want to bless others with..... Lots of flubs - increasing too much, decreasing too much, having too tight of tension, a hat turning into a pencil case. a rug turning into a giant rolling ocean totally out of control! ..... Lots of Flubs! Lots of tearing out and starting back where I first went 'off track." But I was teaching myself, and in 4th grade I was on $1 a month budget. And back then there was no internet. You can imagine how much I envied y daughter-in-law, when I found out she could just watch somebody do it, and she could copy! So Now I do that too! Christa has become one of my best friends, and a comforting voice when everything around me is going crazy.

Wow that blanket is so pretty and it couldn’t be easier, and it’s so effective, it would also be great for using up all those yarn 🧶 leftovers if you didn’t want to buy more yarn, I think it’s absolutely stunning 😍 take care Carol from Scotland x

Hi Christa! I absolutely love this pattern! Its very cool and fun to do and you can make so many items using this pattern! You are a great teacher, I love how you show us exactly where to put our stitches. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@sueeasley5366]

This is a pretty pattern. Thank you for the tip at the end in the turn ch.

So glad it was helpful to you, Sue Easley! Thank you! 🌼🌸🌼

[@nicolacarter5277]

This is a gorgeous pattern. I’m making a baby blanket with it now, in a lovely buttery colour and minus the tassels, just lovely😍

[@cherylshook7002]

This is absolutely beautiful! Everything you do , you make it look so easy! Love your channel

[@2Crochetcurious]

Great tutorial! Sometimes I learn something that I should already know, but being self taught, never knew it!

[@amydavis4945]

Thank you again, Christa! I did a practice swatch along with your tutorial and I can see how this would work up pretty quickly.... I think I'll be using it for a baby blanket, tho. This will be very pretty!

Oh I am so glad, Amy Davis! Thank you!! 🌸🌼🌺

This is my first time watching your tutorials. I hit subscribe within moments! You are very clear not only with your verbal instructions but also with pointing out wher e in the stitch you are insertingbthe hook. I have been crocheting for over 25 years and love learning new patterns!

Oh thank you so much, Caterina Costanzo! That's AWESOME! 🌺🌻🌸

Love it! I've been looking for a new project, and i think i found it! Thank you!

Hi, Chicken Collector!! 🌻🌺🌼

[@carolynplante4513]

I really appreciate your way of explaining how to do your projects. I have watched some that were very simple but descibed excruciatingly slow. Ive taught myself how to crochet from a book, and know the basic stitches, and use them to make blankets for Cancer patients. This pattern is bright, easy and fast. Right up my alley. Thank you.

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh thanks so much! So glad it was helpful to you, Carolyn Plante! Thank you. 🌼🌸🌼

[@maureenkotwic5461]

If just using 3 colours you can change colour every row and also take your yarn with you up the side...then hide with a nice border...no ends to worry about...I have started one with fawn grey and red and it looks fabulous...the colours I mean 🤣🤣🤣

[@jennifertheiss9472]

I watched this video while taking a break from my current sweater for future project ideas and the extended double crochet stitch gave me a great idea. Thanks to this video I have a gorgeous, straight, CLOSED shoulder edge from a row of sc and ch1 spaces! I couldn't figure out how to close the holes as I worked my way up the panel, but thanks to you I only had to do it once 🥰🥰🥰. Thank you so much!!!

[@SecretYarnery]

So glad it was helpful to you, Jennifer Theiss! Thank you. 🌼🌸🌼

[@cookitforward3735]

Beautiful Pattern Krista! However, I was taught that is the Long DC or spike stitch your doing not the Extended DC1EDC. An EDC has an extra yarn over in the same stitch.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, #CookItForward!! Riiiight? I was calling it that and then saw it called edc - didn't want to be wrong so changed it. UGH! lol Thanks for the information. I'll call it that for the next tutorial. THANK YOU! 🌻🌺🌼

[@cookitforward3735]

@@SecretYarnery I also searched the terms on KZbin. 😊 No worries! It's a lovely pattern.

[@kimyearyean520]

I have never had the desire to make blankets ... you have inspired me!!! I have this on my hook and am loving the drop stitch!!! I also have the drunken granny on another hook and love that pattern as well. This one will be for me to take to my grandsons baseball games and the drunken granny is a baby blanket for one of my best friend’s daughters first baby 🥰 Thank you for your beautiful joyful spirit and inspiration!!!! 💞💞💞🦋

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad, Kim Yearyean! Thank you!! 🌸🌼🌺

[@Jeni080]

Could you do, instead of a starting chain, a row of foundation double crochet?

[@ruthm4749]

Very easy directions. I am going to make a series of red/white/blue afghans for my nieces and nefews this next year. Just want to say, that when I add a new color, I take the two ends and make half of a square knot before I continue crocheting. That way they are less likely to pop out of place before I can weave them in. Thanks for the video.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks, Ruth M! 🌺🌼🌸

[@django2187]

This is a gorgeous blanket! I can't wait to get started on it! I was wondering if a foundation single crochet can be used for the edge instead of a chain. I have just learned this stitch and I really like it, so I'm wondering if it would work with this blanket since the ends are tassels. Either way, I'm excited to make this beauty!

[@Michelle.05]

Talk about details, you gave us a lot Christa and it's greatly appreciated, thank you!😊 However, I do have 2 questions...for the 1st row, can we go into the back bump AND what's the minimum amount of colors that we should use?

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Michelle_ crochetwithheart2019!! Absolutely you can go into the back bump! Go for it. Minimum colors are three... you can do two, but they really stack on top of each other. Thank you!! 🌻🌺🌼

What a beautiful blanket. I’m so excited now to head out tomorrow to get my yarn. Thank you for sharing your pattern. This is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a baby girl.

Is this the same blanket pattern that you showed once of a blanket your grandma made? I loved that blanket

[@pratyt5079]

Wonderful video,love the way you do it. You explain everything and show where the hook will go. That is so nice! I know what I'm doing and still appreciate your kindness. You take your time,not too fast but not too slow either. I haven't always been able to adjust videos, so have had to keep running them back and forth. Plus I'm mostly self taught so it's nice to see it clearly. Thanks so much 😀🍀
