I have been crocheting for a long time, but I kept with my three tried a true stitches and made lots of baby blankets. When I saw this pattern I had to try, it is so beautiful. Thank you so much for helping me take my crochet to the next level.

Very interesting pattern. The texture is so well designed with the popcorns, thin rows and fat rows. Can't wait to try it. And thank you for taking the time to split it into chapters and clearly show the beginning and end of each row.

My pleasure.

[@lauragile3964]

This is gorgeous as are all the blankets you present. Can’t wait to do this one soon.

[@BP0019]

Yesterday I was having trouble with the extended sc front post. This morning in my mind I heard you say "Follow the video". So I Googled the Study of Possibilities to see if you had filmed it. Row 6 explained what I needed to know. (I call it a long sc.) Your textured projects are amazing.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Glad I could help! I'm glad you thought to look it up to help yourself as well.

[@WindfallLou]

I love all your designs but I'm obsessed with this one! I just finished mine yesterday and can't wait to start another with a different color scheme. I had hoped for your final video to finish the interior but was able to follow your written directions easily and finished it up! Gorgeous design and so much fun to make. You certainly don't get bored!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I'm glad you were able to follow the instructions. Thank you for your enthusiasm.

Rushed to finish of the spider from my practice afghan where I just did many of you patterns for a bit like a sample. Now I'm ready to go insane and try this one out. Love you.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Thank you for your enthusiasm.

[@nonamenoname42]

@@TheCrochetCrowd The first octagon was so pretty, when I finished tying off all the spiders, I started the seven more yesterday. You were so right. Repeating the same row is so much easier. Already starting row 6 on the other seven, assembly line style. I've learned so much from you. Thank you. After 50 years of crochet, I finally have a teacher. I can break out from grannies and double crochet rows.

[@nonamenoname42]

I did sub the colors a bit to go with the Mexicana theme of my yarn. I buy 6-8 of the red heart super saver so I can just keep doing projects that match. I cannot find a decent red heart super saver orange though.

[@nonamenoname42]

I am amazed decades later if I buy the same red heart super saver yarn, with the exact same name, it matches.

Hi Michael!

Can you please tell me the name of the colors your using I love your color combinations.thank you

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Sure, follow the link in the video description. The free pattern has everything you need for that.

[@robinpatton3635]

I am loving this pattern, I am fairly new and my stitches don’t look as crisp as yours am I holding the yarn too lose?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I won't know that answer through text message. Maybe just do another one and see yourself improving. Each time you make a motif, it will look more and more crisp. It's about practice.

[@debrawillson8392]

I love your patterns, colors, and the ease of following your instructions. What is the finished size of the Octagon? If I wanted to add an additional row of octagons, how is that calculated?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It’s 15”. If you change the size the interior won’t work. I will leave that in your hands to rejig the pattern to make it work.

Yes, you can do that if you wish. This is not a square. It's octagon. This design is not available in a square.

Thank you, I'm going to start working on it to be ready for the next video on this cold New England day

[@robinpatton3635]

I have another question, on the final round, do the 19 stitches include the single stitches between the 8 sides? I’m sorry if these are beginner questions. I love following your creations, However, I never learned to read crochet instructions.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Yes that's right.

[@SandraJane-bd8im]

Like when you knit you can pick it up and your tension is slightly different. How on earth do you keep them all the same size? Because this is the reason I never do granny square afghans/throws etc.

[@bonnibobb1628]

At about 30:30 in the video, you stated that you were going to place 6 single crochet, but it appeared that you placed double crochet instead. Which is correct? I'm guessing the double, not single.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It's 6 dc. If you ever doubt me, just refer to the pattern as that's considered the final word. I'm sorry about that.

[@jenniferr2757]

I saw that but as I could see in the video, he was doing dc also, so I knew it was a double in doubt watch the hands.

[@youknowthatgirl8710]

You need to get to the same round count if you have skipped it. So you may need to place 2 stitches into the same stitch to boost the count up.
