I'm making my daughter a second crochet blanet, but the first one for her made of granny squares. I sent her pictures of at least 30 granny squares, and out of all of them she thought yours was the prettiest. Can't thank you enough for teaching me to make something my teenage daughter actually wants! You did a great job at teaching the steps, filming it so we could see it all, and putting it all together to post. Filming this can't be easy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! May your new year be filled with joy and abundance!🥰🖤🙏

[@mariasyarn]

i currently wanna do the same thing for my bf ! how many grams of yarn did u use ?

I was watching random KZbin videos while I was crocheting another project and when this video popped up I ended up putting it down so I could try out making a star. This whole pattern is so clever, very excited to put this to use in the near future.

[@alisonbonilla3473]

[@soflyeffa7159]

I bought 4 yarns 3 years ago and give up after a week. 3 days ago, I found it again under my bed and decided to give it a try. I failed miserably because I watched other people tutorial and I don't understand a single thing. And I still try because I want to give it to my boyfriend. And I nailed it! Thank you so much for being a good teacher! Keep going!!

[@TSaudiolibrary]

This is so cool !! I’m making a tote for my bsf and I’m using red stars instead bc red is her favorite album

[@emmytheidiot5802]

I know it’s late but perhaps you aren’t crocheting the two triple crochets on the previous round that are supposed to be together, together?
