So to clarify, I'm on row 12. Which is technically the right side. And row 12 is a bobble row, but under special stitches and after the instruction of the how to do the bobble stitch, it says 'these are worked on the wrong side'. So im just super confused as to whether I continue to try and finish the row popping the bobbles towards me or if im missing something? Kind regards x

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

@@chelseahill4545 I looked at the pattern, Row 12 is not the bobble stitch. It's a single crochet row. I think you are missing a row.

[@chelseahill4545]

@@TheCrochetCrowd thank you sooo much for your quick reply. I missed the sc row after the X st row 4 rows back. Im just going to cry and fog quietly to myself ... thanks again so much xx

[@karenstrachan287]

I really like this pattern and am making it a larger size for my 6yo great-granddaughter. I am so glad for Mikey's video because at 74, it's sometimes hard for me to understand patterns even though that's how I learned when I was 17.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

You are so welcome!

[@highfidelity95]

This was one of the most fun patterns I've ever worked; with Mikey's tutorial it was easy to make and had multiple stitch rows which added variety and texture. I love this pattern, it was exactly what I needed to lift my mood. I used very bright colors, it will be my Spring "napping" throw. Thank you Mikey, you are a fantastic teacher.

[@crazygamerchickcrazy-g-c7569]

If you are having trouble counting your stitches then please try using stitch markers they will become your best friend lol or if you don't have stitch markers, you can always a bit of yarn just tie it through and do a knot but not to tight that you can't get it undone again. ☺

[@towandamcarthur1812]

[@celinasuckiel6801]

Please help me I’ve taking this apart so many more I cannot keep an straight edges

[@floferguson4975]

In order to know how many chains I needed, I did the sample as you did through the first row of Dc. Then I measured from center valley to center valley. That gave me the width for the 28 stitches. I knew then how many I needed to chain. I do this each time I do a chevron or wave blanket. It sure saves a lot of time!

[@robinstapelfeld8599]

This is such a beautiful pattern and I’ve looked for just the right one to make a baby blanket for my first grandchild and I’m so excited to make this for our sweet baby girl. 🥰

[@agresti.mumsie]

would you mind helping me out ? I need to use stitch markers for the valley/peaks to be able to do this pattern, where do I place them, in the first. middle or last st that starts the Valley/Peak to know that when I get to the marker that it is the first of the 3.

[@elviragorgas2120]

I love the way you explain what you're doing so well. You don't rush n explain your stitches so well, thank you for having the patience.

[@lauriesweet2161]

Love it too!! Did you have a problem with bobble row and next sc row. ? My peaks and valleys are off a little and stitches for each row, how many. Id appreciate any advice! Also im a intermediate to Advanced and tnis afghan blows my mind! Thank you

[@agresti.mumsie]

@@lauriesweet2161 did you figure it out? I want to use stitch markers for the peaks and valleys, so that I can make this blanket. Where would you recommend placing the st markers? would it be in the first stitch of the valley and peak? I tried a ruff small size of this pattern and messed up - its been too long since I did the chevron pattern to recall where to put the markers plus I only did it once -

[@ksbroussard9569]

A huge thank you to Jeanne and Mikey for this pattern and tutorial. It’s become my go to pattern for baby blankets. I just love the texture. While I’ve done the star, rectangle, and square version, I always come back to this chevron. I love how it hides the color changes in the cake yarns do to the up and down v motion. Now I’m starting on an enlarged version for my Aunt. I just can’t get enough of the hugs and kisses blankets you guys had. While I didn’t struggle with pattern reading, I came here for some tips. Mikey you did a great job on explaining this to everyone. You made it simple so anyone can follow along and accomplish this beautiful stitch. I can’t wait to show off my finished blanket in the groups.

[@cameronwinton6275]

I just finished my first blanket of this pattern for a friend’s soon to be newborn & it turned out beautifully! I used Bernat Softee Baby with a 4mm hook & it worked perfectly. I’ve started another for someone else using the same yarn but a different color. I like the verigated colors in the original pattern but a monochromatic look is my favorite. This one will be pure white. Don’t give up on this pattern if you’re struggling - it’s worth it!

[@susanhokin7553]

Thanking you a million times still seems not enough. Reason being that you are a fantastic,competent, logical,practical,organised and user friendly teacher. I’m learning soooooo much from you in ways you would not expect. In this project in the bobble row I was not getting it, until your explanation saying “mirror image” was used. Ahhhh the penny dropped and waaalaa I got it. I have been doing your tutorial for the past year off and on and you have given me the confidence to tackle this pattern. I am learning to read patterns and symbols due to you showing and explaining them at the start of your lessons. Oh the other info you give that is so helpful ( that’s not done a lot ) is give the numbers for bigger/ littler options......... I tend to do lots of dishcloths or potholder to get the hang of a type of stitch.

[@margokraus6371]

Started this beautiful baby blanket. Watched the video, read the instructions and kept having a problem counting stitches. I frogged the blanket 2x. So I was done and something had to change, I used stitch markers in the valley! What a difference a stitch marker can make. Pattern moving along much faster now. Thanks for the advice! Thank you Jeanne Steinhilber for designing this pattern! Thank you Mikey for a great tutorial. Thank you Crochet Crowd also!

Hi Michael, so beautuful this pattern and so much fun in a varigated yarn. I'm really enjoying myself making it. And , as always, you're instructions are easy to follow, precise and to the point and not too slow or too fast. I've made one change, made the bobbles with 4 instead of 5. Saved yarn and is just as nice. I like your voice, it's pleasant to listen to. Thanks a lot again for your efforts.

[@chadmeador5040]

I have found the confusion in this pattern. It is the single crochet row after the bobble row. Don't trust the written pattern. And the verbal description doesn't clear up the problem either. Watch what Mikey actually DOES in this row when going downhill initially. Two sc in first stitch. SC in next 5. But when doing the sc3tog, he uses the same stitch as the 5th of the last 5 sc. Watch closely and do as he does and the pattern will work out.

[@kathyreece8091]

You are exactly right, I took out the following 2 rows out six times and couldn’t find my mistake. I rewatched it and now will try another sample before I start my baby blanket. Thanks for your review.
