I wanted to say I just finished a baby blanket with this pattern. The puff stitch makes a lovely edging for this. That's what I did with mine since the pattern itself is the star just wanted to frame it without taking anything away from the pattern. It worked well with Caron cakes yarn.

Thanks so much Julie! That’s great to know! 🌸🥰

@@BlossomCrochet yes, I have a bunch of fingering weight yarns that I’m thinking of testing out. I’m not sure if I want something more solid to play up the stitch work or something with color changes that are subtle.

@@BlossomCrochet I actually started a throw using this stitch in a taupe Red Heart Super Saver yarn because I got quite a few skeins of taupe from a friend who got it from auction. I LOVE how it's coming along!🤩🤗🥳 And decided to add (for color and interest)some yarn that is off white with brown and black flecks😊. I think it will turn out to my liking 👍.

I do not have a written pattern, just the video tutorial. Sorry! 🌸

[@Mszara68]

This is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL I wish you would just let us know what kind of border we could put around Other than you come up WITH EXCELLENT PATTERNS♥️♥️♥️

[@BlossomCrochet]

I don’t often do ‘set’ borders as I always just suggest adding a round of U.K. double crochet around your finished project - this is a perfect base to then build absolutely any border that you like the look of ☺️ Personally I think a simple Shell Border or even a Moss Stitch Border would work really well with this particular stitch. 🌸

[@suzannebridges7334]

Really love this I’m wondering what it would be like with one roll of a pale green and one roll of orchid with the orchid nestled into the green might it not actually look like a RAW of Iris do you love the back post front post one at a time For me back post a Crochet has always been a problem by doing one every other it’s giving me practice without frustration not as hard as it was when I had a bunch to do. Thank you.

[@marianneevans883]

Beautiful pattern. How do you keep the corners from curling?

[@BlossomCrochet]

When working this stitch I didn’t find that the corners curled - however, if you’ve having a problem with curling then I’d suggest going up a hook size to see if that helps ☺️🌸

[@KT-yq7ed]

It’s a lovely stitch and your directions are excellent, however, I don’t like all those holes in the finished blanket…. I do love the post stitches though…….can you do another video with a different stitch that’s closer together but still has the post stitches in it? That I would love to do….tks

[@BlossomCrochet]

It’s something I can certainly have a look at, see if there’s something that would reduce the gaps ☺️🌸

I guess my biggest question would be, "How much yarn to buy?" I would like to make a baby blanket, and also be able to use the same dye lot.

Do you have written instructions for your tutorials?

[@BlossomCrochet]

Not currently - I do for some but only a few! I’m hoping to do more to go along with the videos though ☺️

I truly want to do this, however, I canNOT get the hang of the back post double/treble. My mind and hands get confused. I am fine with the front, but the back continue to throw me off. 😭😭😭

[@ellenlowery5822]

How many chains do you suggest for a baby blanket?

[@julierodgers]

I would like to use this pattern to make a stripped baby blanket. Will I be better using an odd or even number of rows?

Good question! I think if I were doing a striped blanket - I’d do an even row of each colour. 🌸
