WOW. so simple but so beautiful! Thank you especially for the how to double stack end.

[@bgummeson]

Such a beautiful blanket! I love the straight edges that the stacked double crochet make.

[@shellyaubey7347]

This is exactly what I need right now. Beautiful yet easy enough that no frustration arises. Thank you, Marly. I have no ombre and am trying to do some stash busting, but I have Red Heart SS shocking pink and purple. I think that would make a sweet girlie blanket for my six week old granddaughter.

[@anitasmith7076]

Love it sweater it's my favorite color and luv using this stitch for blankets and long hooded cardigan. Also luv ur hook. Wat is the brand?

[@jessicamiles2709]

Thanks, Marly! You explain things so well. I love your videos and you blew my mind with color pooling! I lost my urge to crochet for a while, but I can always count on you to get me back in the swing!

[@MeaganaMess1]

It would be awesome if you could provide at least one picture of the entire blanket, laid out flat, so that we could see the color variations and changes across the pattern. The photos you provide are all great, don't get me wrong. It would just be nice to have a couple where the entire blanket is visible in its entirety.

[@jenreeves7684]

I love your color choices. They made a beautiful blanket. I have been using the stacked double stitch and I love it.

[@lesliebowles3649]

Beautiful blanket! I am going to give it a go. Also… I love this hairdo you have on this video!!!!

[@laurag.martinezperin2939]

Lovely lady! Lovely blanket! Excellent explanation! THANK YOU!

[@ByCherS]

This is such a gorgeous pattern and very versatile. I'm currently on my 3rd blanket with 3 more planned! I'm using Bernat Baby Blanket (Variegated) yarn super bulky 6 with a size 10 MM hook for a beautiful drape. The stacked double crochet makes a beautiful edge. I had a difficult time learning it until I watched Marly's other video which is strictly a tutorial for the stacked double crochet. Marly's correct, if you need a beautiful gift which works up quickly this is it! Thanks so much, Marly I appreciate your tutorials and love your work!

[@theastewart6721]

Very pretty blanket! Easy and quick too! Thanks for sharing with us!🌸🌺

[@lindafarebrother957]

Beautiful blanket, love the straight edge. Thank you for sharing 🤗

[@carlenebraithwaite8391]

Absolutely love this twist on the edge. Hate to make a border when using this stitch. Thanks Marly!

[@cindycover3675]

BEAUTIFUL!! ♥️💐 I’m all set…I got Cocoa/Sand and Spearmint/Violet!

Beautiful! The blanket is nice-looking, too! Thanks, Marly. I’m looking forward to making this for a friend’s future child! Anthracite and spearmint ombrés.

I wish I would’ve seen this a couple of weeks ago that is so cute. I started a shell blanket baby blanket for my nephew and his new baby

[@p.j.wilder555]

Could I ask who your hook is by? It's beautiful and I would love to buy one! Thanks❤

[@sometimesiwander7146]

Please tell me- where did u get ur crochet hook? I love it! I love the baby blanket too. I can’t wait to make one. Thanks for the video.

[@crochetwithcindy]

Love this pattern! Never thought of using 2 ombre colors together, but the outcome is stunning! Your hook....where do you get them??

[@MarlyBird]

That hook is from Liether and Co on etsy

[@marnetteedwardson6071]

Can this be done with two solid colors instead of ombré?

[@alshimaaabdelsamad7618]

Thanks for that pattern it’s really simple and beautiful. The written pattern say 6.5 mm crochet hook, and In the video you say 8 mm crochet hook. It happens, 😄

[@marshafleming4165]

In another comment she replied gauge is 2 sts per inch. so use whichever hook gives you gauge

[@MarlyBird]

You can use any size hook you want to use for this. Just try to get a fabric you like the feel of :)

[@alshimaaabdelsamad7618]

@@marshafleming4165 Yes I know just wanted to clear the confusion for myself and like minded as from 6.5 to 8 is a lot, of course gauge is what matters the most ☺️

[@alshimaaabdelsamad7618]

@@MarlyBird Oh yes of course, thank you so very mush Marly 😃.

[@latina509]

Can the stack double stitch be done with all blankets?

[@Tadi3a]

I am a bit confused. I looked at the written pattern. It said chain 75 an odd number and single crochet into 2nd chain from hook. The video has an even number of cast on chain and single crochet into first chain from hook. I love the blanket, but just need to clarify the directions before I chain as I am going to make a larger blanket with heavier yarn. Thanks for a great channel. Laura

[@MarlyBird]

Yes, correct. I was giving generic instructions for people who didn't want to actually look at a pattern. Just giving an example as I was chaining. If you get 2 sts per inch then you just need to figure out how big you want your blanket then do the math. So, if you want yours 60" wide @ 2 sts per inch then you could chain 120 or 122 so you would have 119 or 121 sts to work with for the blanket.

[@janicebest-nesbitt6455]

Giving this a try but having difficulty remembering which side has the stacked double crochet. Can’t figure it out. Urgh

[@MarlyBird]

Use a marker on the side with the stacked screen :)

[@vashtiojirika]

What is the name of the pattern for the top you're wearing in this video please

[@MarlyBird]

[@lizhamer3219]

Do you only do 1 stacked double crochet on the edge? Or do you do a stacked double every time you get to the edge?

[@MarlyBird]

Just at the start of each row.

[@lizhamer3219]

@Marly Bird So it will be on both ends correct?

[@weegie2818]

​@@lizhamer3219I'm assuming by now you got your answer. I have the same question and am going to guess you can do either way.
