Fruit Garden CAL Forget-Me-Not

[@anaouzounian1557]

I've been a crocheter for many years, but I learned so much from this video. Thank you, Janie.

[@selenadiaz2665]

As a beginner to crochet, these tutorials are a lifeline. Thank you for taking the time for making these Janie

[@chedunndoit]

Janie, you are most definitely the Queen of crochet! I love the beautiful art you create! Thank you so much for doing tutorials! Your videos take crochet to whole new dimension. You are on my list of “ people I would love to spend the day with !” So thankful!

[@SandraJane-bd8im]

It's so very kind of you to produce a tutorial for those if us who don't for whatever reason, pattern read. Many thanks Janie ❤

[@beezee7370]

What a great teacher you are. I love the little tips and tricks of yours. I’m glad I found you ❤️

[@jeaninebrooks1052]

Thank you for the video. I've. Learned some new things.

[@paulakoncki4029]

Thank you for the tip how to get rid of the knot it always bugged me! I stumbled upon the Fruit Garden on Facebook! I made a couple of mosaic blankets and Granny squares but nothing as beautiful as the Fruit Garden ! So glad you made this tutorial it is going to be a BIG help for me! Thank you for being so kind and share your talent with us! Kind regards from South Africa 🥰🧶🌻

[@annegredler5364]

I’ve been crocheting for almost 40 years and you taught this old dog some great new tricks! I enjoyed this video immensely and look forward to the next one. Thank you for sharing your expertise and beautiful patterns!

[@francaperotti5934]

And your only 40 😉🥰 your no old dog that's for sure.

[@kendenta2207]

Perhaps i missed my next concern unless you did not mention it but how many balls of yarn types and colors does someone need to purchase to complete the blanket?

[@dianaphillips7841]

ken denta Google Stylecraft Fruit Garden CAL to find all the information you might require.

[@TheAlibali1993]

Thank you so much for teaching us with so much detail🌹

[@prolaapyparijat6997]

I am a very new crocheter. Have been learning things here and there. And as today I came across this video following the recommendations of Elise Rose Crochet, I feel elated to discover that the hacks I have been using after coming across various itsy bitsy issues while making various projects are actually VALID! Though there are still a lot of things that I have to learn from you. I wish, someday I happen to finish making this blanket... I loooooove it. Thank you so much....

[@janiecrow8472]

You are so welcome! Any and all hacks are valid! We can all teach each other can't we? x

[@Iloathsnow]

Thank you. The pattern is beautiful and the tutorial is wonderful🤩

[@jackiewood168]

I just wanted to say thank for the blanket pattern and most of all instructional video. I have crocheted for too many years to remember, so didn’t really need/want to watch the video, but I did!! As I sat there following it (I had begun to make my first 8 circles got to the pink petals, watched the instructional and informative video - boy, did I learn a few tricks. I undid my disgraceful attempt at flowers, with their knot in the middle and my extra stitch at the end and my joining mess!!! Thanks to watching the video this old dog learnt new tricks. I now have centres I can be proud of, joining - where? and ends not coming lose, oh and not forgetting finishing the colours rounds. I am the proud owner of eight beautiful flowers, which look perfect. So I shall now watch the rest of the video and complete my rounds for my lovely eight perfectly formed flowers, thank you, thank you. I almost feel like undoing all my previous years of work ( but I won’t) - your simple techniques have taken crocheting to perfection. I did Persian Tiles and Frida too and wonder what I missed on those videos. Just goes to show you are never to old to learn!! Great Fruit Garden, and thank you for answering my query earlier. I am making this for a friend, who, you may remember is allergic to wool, so managed to get some lovely alternative make in a lovely cotton yarn called Rico, colours are subtle and delightful, but I did need your advice, so thank you too, for taking the time to respond in full with you advice. Stay safe, keep designing and sad to have to wait another two weeks!!! However in-between I am completing the marvellous blanket that is guywithahook, Spice Market, also stunning, fun to do and gloriously coloured too, which I am also making for my friend.

[@heatherhaigh2155]

Thank you for one of the best tutorials I have seen so far

[@mariahg.7633]

YAY, I got my new hook for correct gauge in the mail and im already so happy working on this gorgeous blanket, thanks for the helpful tutorial videos!!

[@mariahg.7633]

4.5mm was perfect for me where the pattern says 4mm. 4mm turned out only 2 inches for me :)

[@tamardalton5067]

Thank you for the hints & tips! Love them. Those small details that have bugged me for years, I now know how to fix and my crochet has just been lifted to a whole new level. It certainly is a Master Class.

[@margitszabo7428]

El vagyok bűvölve a gyönyörű alkotástol amit őn készít, köszönöm szépen minden este gyönyörködőm benne

[@evajimenezontanaya539]

Magnificent video. Really well explained. Thank you for your generosity

[@ivetteloru510]

Dear Janie, I have had the opportunity to make 2 of your many beautiful blankets. I never stop thanking you for the wonders I have learned with your style. I just can't find the words to thank you for teaching me to appreciate nature and history embodied in Crochet. Thank you 😊 Blessings.

[@lizellekleu7111]

Thank you for all your beautiful work I have made the Persian tile blanket and now I am looking forward to do this one

[@bridgetteparker5149]

Really enjoyed learning all those extra tips that you put in to make things neater. Your instructions are very clear. Thanks😊

[@kathykent7402]

I feel like I just had a master class! Thanks for all the helpful tips.

[@jeannievega1639]

Great video, I made these and gave them as favors celebrating my Engagement many years ago. My Mom taught me how to make these with cotton yarn and thin metal crochet hook. Thank you for the memories.

[@carolynspapertherapy]

You crochet exactly like I do...you hold the hook the same and you hold the yarn the same! Thank you for the pattern and the videos!

[@lisathompson1839]

I have to say, never before have I had such incredible teachings till listening to you Janie! I feel like I can jump right into advance, hahaha! You have a style that makes understanding the world of crochet suddenly become simple! I can't tell you how many classes I've attended that I've come away from more confused then if I had just muted through on my own! I can't thank YOU enough! The best part, is sadly I wasn't able to get yarn as it is all sold out so I made up colors and NOW because of such precise educating I feel that the colors I've chosen will come out ALLLLLLRIGHT because now I understand how to complement when you share the color you're working on next. Thank YOU, Thank YOU, thank YOU! If you ever decide to host an actual class, put me on the top of your list please!!! Thank YOU! OOPS, not to mention all the little tricks...WOW!

[@annebethkuijs9442]

Thanks so much! You are an amazing teacher and designer. I am going to make this as a surprise for my mom , so she can use it in her scootmobile :)

[@laurennegonzalez985]

Three will be with that little annoying knot ...that I wonder for years ... thank you! Thank you! And fives will be without for all my crochet project for Now on! Excited for this gorgeous blanket! 💗🧶🇨🇦😉

[@sallyryono4596]

I’m starting the Love is Enough version of Fruit Garden as soon as my yarn arrives. This video was incredible, I’m so impressed. With the chaos happening in the US at the moment it was a relaxing oasis.

[@anntilbury2064]

Thank you Janie, although I have been crocheting for over 60 years, I have learned so much watching this master class. Really excited to get started.

[@Momsaidwow]

Oh my goodness you’re a wonderful yarn artist. This is outstanding. I’m a beginner at crotchet, and have my fingers X’ed that one day I may be experienced enough to do this blanket. Your tutorial is wonderful which is giving me some hope that I will manage to make my own. Many Thanks

[@wendypartridge5320]

I would like to say how marvellous this how to video is. I am a beginner at crocheting so am only practising with spare yarn but if my practice squares keep going well I will look to join the September group. Thank you again for so many great tips.

[@denisebrink5837]

Oh that little trick of pulling the yarn to the back is absolute magic. Thank you.

[@SmileCentral]

Great tips! I love your attention to those special details that make the price an heirloom peice. 👏👏

[@helentucker7713]

I did the first one of these ok from just the written instructions but then decided to watch this and I’ve picked up some really useful tips. Thanks.

[@juneknitsville9549]

Thanks for the great tips and tricks; I learned a lot. you’re an excellent teacher, very clear.

[@kerryncolin-thome2343]

Dear Janie, Thank you for all your wonderful tips. I love the videos, it feels like we are crocheting in the same room and me with a mug of Earl Grey tea. Love it. 💖☕️🌺🕊

[@bridgetteparker5149]

Have just started this having downloaded and printed the pattern. Really appreciate all the tips and am enjoying learning how to read a pattern. Many thanks for all your hard work Janie❤️

[@kittybimble2330]

This is so helpful, thank you so much! I love your designs, you are truly gifted ❤️ I like using a standing DC or whatever starting stitch is required when joining colours, it’s very neat in my opinion compared to joining a new colour with a chain.

[@shaunarichards8760]

This is the same method I have used too I found the chain 1 made it look like another stitch

[@juliebradshaw3496]

Great tips for making our crochet creations more professional looking. Thanks so much for all the care, effort and creativity you have put into this pattern.

[@InkedChocoboGirl]

I'm so excited about started this, this evening. I never guessed I would learn as much as I did from this video - thank you so much Janie

[@sherrybella12]

Jane, that is an excellent tutorial. I really appreciate the tips because I have never seen that before and it makes it so much neater. Thank you.

[@mylenet3618]

Thank you Janie! I really appreciate the tips that you gave. It make my crochet more perfect. Lol! Excellent teacher!

[@adventure20242]

Your videos and pattern are pretty well. Thanks

[@susansusan8450]

Invaluable video, thank you so much for your clear instructions and excellent video. I learnt so much and can see such an improvement in those little details you explained. Just practicing on some spare yarn while I wait for the 2nd recipe to become available but cant wait to start the project.

[@michellesetzer9366]

I so enjoyed watching and listening to the tutorial. So excited to begin-now just waiting for my yarn to arrive from the U.K.!

[@belabolita]

Thank you !!!! Very beautiful 💖💖

[@rebecacarrion746]

Hermosas creaciones, gracias por compartir todas tus hermosas creaciones un abrazo inmenso para usted

[@robinjones1231]

I’ve crocheted for years and in the first 10 min of this I learned valuable tips! Thank you, this is wonderful!!

[@malenahelm7225]

Love all the helpful tips ! I keep coming 2 stitches short round 11 , cannot figure this out , wish there was a video for the whole motif

[@laurelgirard8475]

Your motifs really made me sit up and take notice! Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!!

[@1flybyguy]

Moving the tail to the right when forming the ring is a great tip. Thanks!

[@sueh8278]

Great tips! Can't wait to get started!

[@queenofhearts57]

Ugh...still haven’t managed to find myself a kit to start this . I’m thinking of just trying to match up the colors from my existing stash. Please tell me these videos will remain up and never disappear ! My fingers are aching to start this . I’ve learned so much about adding colors and finishing off! You’ve just elevated my skills in one short video!

[@junegrainger8481]

queenofhearts57 this CAL is being repeated in September so you can rejoin if you get behind or start then. If you have finished the project, there will be the option of adding some more to the finished project

[@queenofhearts57]

Thank @june grainier . I managed to purchase a kit from the online store the other day...just waiting for delivery . I’m in Canada and it’s coming from Britain so hoping i won’t have too long to wait!

[@junegrainger8481]

queenofhearts57 that’s great, mine came yesterday, having problems with tension. Hope your kit comes soon

[@karenarcuri294]

That was wonderful!

[@prolaapyparijat6997]

You are an angel!!!!!!!

[@marysimpson9506]

Absolutely love the tips and tricks. 💖💐

[@lilyapopovicheva8820]

Very very nice!!!Thank you!

[@fritula6200]

In round 8 parchment colour where you begin to make 16 loops. Starting with 56 stitches, l am unable to get 16 loops. Your tutorials says.....I dc, miss 4 chain 3 dc, etc. The only way l manage to get 16 loops is... 1dc, miss 4 chain 2 dc AND not 3 dc as your tutorial suggests. I don't know how to correct this.

[@martadennison5227]

Bring it on!!!! been looking forward to this

[@noranlotfy3559]

Thank you very much, that is really helpful l was waiting this video to start this project. thanks again Best regards Noran

[@greetjelakerveld4305]

Bedankt voor de duidelijke uitleg,👌

[@autumns2425]

You skip over the squaring part of this and then in later videos you say to refer to this video on how to do it. Such a shame because the corners don't seem to make sense.

[@melissascoloringandmulti-taski]

Hello Jane. I've subscribed

[@byteangelxi9178]

Just wondering why you started with a chain 4 instead of using a magic circle. This is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to start one. Thanks for the tips! After 58 years of crocheting I'm still learning new and useful techniques LOL

[@miriampachecochavez9721]

Excellent tips, thank

[@vickyoliver6608]

Brilliant great tips on how to deal with those Leslie yarn ends

[@Mary_Lou_1]

Your instructional videos are awesome Janie!! So appreciated by this visual learner!! Thank you!!

[@christianagill4447]

Both options sold out on your site at present. I'm just finishing Lilypond and then I really want to try this x

[@helentucker7713]

I still find the end of row 8 a bit tricky when you come back round to where the 2ss and the 1ch are to see where my joining chain should go!

[@malenahelm7225]

Cannot get my stitch count right , maybe this is where I’m coming up short when I count round 11

[@Mumbeenthere]

Did anyone struggle with rounds 8 and 9 on Forget-me-Not? I’m doing it over and over and over! Practically having a panic attack. I’ve written each step out into lines for each stitch and I’m still not getting it right. I’m not enjoying it and it’s really getting me down because I’m desperate to complete it. 😢

[@Mumbeenthere]

I went onto the Facebook group to ask for support and the controllers wouldn’t publish any of my questions. Told me forget me not wasn’t a pattern. They were so rude to other people I didn’t have the confidence to ask any more questions.

[@lenamahayni6216]

Thks so much Very much appreciated 💕🌺 How many ply is the yarn 🧶??

[@renypangloli1193]

I like,❤️❤️❤️

[@linosquoka4671]

Great tutorial..thank you

[@patriciamorris8626]

Lovely design. I have the pattern and am working through the motif but is there a chart? That would really help me.

[@patriciamorris8626]

Edit: I bought her Fruit Garden book which includes charts.

[@polecanal]

sorry friends I did not understand what to do or how to count the round 8... please help me.....

[@nancyhill7794]

Great tip at very beginning by moving that pesky knot!

[@suzeenc186]

Thank you so much for all of the tips! That makes a blanket go from mediocre to professional looking. May I ask if there is a reason that you don't use an invisible join when finishing rounds?

[@zohremehmetoglou5399]

Thank you for the pattern ! But why is mine motif not an sqare ? It's the first time I crochet !

[@lygias3384]

Thank you!

[@amandameza5367]

Hello I started to de project but i haven't been able to get the pattern because it's already 2 years old and there's a part where i get lost I don't if you can help me thanks I don't know English but I use a translator.

[@MillyToast]

I really really wish you hadn't skipped showing us how to do round 8. It may have saved time on the video but caused me loads of extra time in messing it up, unpicking and redoing. Nightmare. Reading the comments it looks like I wasn't to only one to get mixed up on that part .

[@YGGO1]

Janie would you think about doing a chart to go with the written instructions I find them easier to follow just a thought.

[@chrislow2323]

hi Jane can you just help me I am never sure what counts as the first stitch after you have joined with a slip stitch is it the stitch you joined into or the next one to it?

[@junegrainger8481]

Is anyone else struggling with the tension? I using recipe 2 colours and the measurement goes from 6cm with the flower and the green edge to 9cm with the next round of trebles and I can’t make my treble stitch 3cm long even with changing the hook size?

[@cathyhales113]

Yes I just started this project yesterday and I am having exactly the same problem … tension was absolutely fine as at end of row 6 and then on row 7 the trebles need to be 1.5 cm which I can’t get anywhere near …. Can anyone help … is it just a problem with the night colour bamboo naturals?

[@ОльгаСаидова-т5о]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@genevievegiella9066]

YOU LOST 😠 ME AT ROW 8 ……..IM NEW AT THIS AND WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO COMPLETE THIS SQUARE FOR ME AND ANY ONE ELSE WHO IS NEW ……..🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ NOW IM UPSET AND CANT COMPLETE MY SQUARE 🙁

[@michellehall4502]

Which kit is which?

[@strawberryx257]

For anyone doing this years later like me & following the free pattern on Ravelry which takes you to the stylecraft site, Round 8 the American pattern has a typo follow the English one & you’ll be grand. Shame she doesn’t do it 😠
