[@irenep-a8790]

YOU ARE SO PRECISE AND CAREFUL , THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME BELIEVE THAT EVEN AT MY AGE I CAN TRY AND CONQUER THESE PROJECTS!!!

[@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! 🤗

[@pattycakecrochet1]

If anyone needs the numbers it's a 4 stitch repeat. So if u don't know how long of a chain u may want just keep it multiples of 4 and it should work out. Hope it helps someone.

[@AnitaStraker-l6f]

Thankyou, as chain any amount makes no sense to me what so ever.

[@AdaByrd]

You are the most valuable teacher on crocheting. You explain it so well any one can follow you with no problem. Love the stitch . I will make a blanket and want to tank you from the bottom of my heart, no problem following you. Blessings….🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

You are so kind! Thank you so much for saying this! I hope you are having the most wonderful day. ❤️

[@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

[@ataredhassan6814]

Amazing tutorial I love the way you cut the chain I always struggle with counting chains now you make it so easy thank you so much 😊

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Great to hear! Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@ginacress1054]

I've made a baby blanket with this stich. Now I'm working g on a scarf. Thanks!

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Wonderful! It’s such a fun stitch! Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@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.

[@calamityjenn]

Thank you so much for this video! Not only is this stitch easy to do, it's fun and gives a very pretty result. I'm halfway through a gigantic blanket and I'm having a great time.

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

That’s wonderful! Enjoy finishing your beautiful blanket. Thank you for watching and commenting,

[@KealyCorene]

Thanks to your generous time and care in sharing this tutorial, I have COMPLETED 3 afghans and working on 3 more. I’ve used medium 4 weight, bulky 6, and 3. I’ve tried for years to be happy with a crochet project and for me, this pattern gave me the confidence to keep at it. Thank you 🙏 😊

[@midnightrun2764]

[@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

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

That’s great Norma. I hope you got your beautiful blanket all made by now. Thank you for watching and commenting ❤️

[@paulinemcclain547]

I wonder - how long should my chain be to end up with a 60” shawl? Didn’t realize how much of the Chan this stitch took up. I love it.

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

I would make a chain about 10 inches. Write down the number of chain in 10”. Then make row 1. Remeasure it. Then you can subtract and find a ruff estimate of how many chain for a 60” shawl. Thank you for watching and commenting! Check out my new video too with another beautiful stitch for shawls or blankets: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWfFqZiqqbmBn9U
