Had my first time at crochet today made the grandkids a bracelet I hope you ladies don't mind a man giving a go

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Lots of men crochet! Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@annmoore8696]

Yes! I'm going to give my All! I lost my Mom and she is the Best Mother in the World, she always thought Me. But now I am on my own! Thank You very much for the help in my crocheting! 🤗

[@sandrabarbato2336]

I’ve used this stitch for countless blankets. It makes up a lovely squishy texture and is a really polished finish. I continue the stitch around the border for a shelled edge. Love it!

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

This is a great idea to continue for a border!! It’s really a great blanket stitch. I love how it’s lightly textured and more of a closed stitch. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@nanatina9454]

I love this stitch I have made neck scarfs, and head band scarfs. Everyone loves them.

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

That’s wonderful! It really is a super versatile stitch!

[@pamelabonar9970]

Do you have a picture of the border? I tried it on a sample block and it doesn't look right. I appreciate your help. Thank you

[@juttawalsh803]

Woohoo !!! I’ve been looking for a light fluffy easy stitch for a baby blanket, and this is it !!! I have crocheted for about 70 years, since I learned it in Europe in first grade. Anyway, after checking out probably 30 different stitches, this one fits the ticket, because I can crochet while watching TV, I don’t really have to look at it much, and it’s so easy. Thanks.

[@melgrimm5346]

This is very pretty! It reminds me of a stitch I used many, many years ago to make a blanket. I was actually trying to find that pattern but wasn’t able to find anything similar until now. Thank you! I’m planning on making a baby blanket.

[@irenep-a8790]

[@normacollins3844]

Thank you Joanna!! I like this stitch and it’s very easy and quick!! I like quick!! I’m making a blanket for my king size bed!! Today is September 24, 2022 and our weather here in Texas is still in the upper 90’s (around 97), here where I live, we have a dry heat (dry cold in winter). Around the Dallas area or Austin or Houston it’s way more of a humid heat or cold in the winter! We hardly ever see snow…lol-we hardly see rain, but our winters are mild compared to the northern states!! So I’m sure I’ll have plenty of time to finish my blanket!! Thanks again, NORMA COLLINS FROM TEXAS

I'll have to probably watch it a couple times before I even try it out. It's hard to do right handed patterns being a left. I have to read and re-read before trying a project. Or in this case watch a video multiple times until I get it. It is a beautiful stitch
