[@OpheliaTalks]

Have fun Susan! Anja x

[@annuraj1933]

Thank you so much I have followed it by your wonderful explanation which made it so easy .God bless you sharing your experience with endless people ❤❤❤ love you 🙏🙏

[@tabithasullivan1171]

I'm making this right now! The trick with wrapping your ends is GENIUS, I will never do it any other way now..I been crocheting on and off for 30 yrs and learned a new trick

[@OpheliaTalks]

Well done Tabitha, Anja x

[@vandanasinha8276]

I love your voice. You are simply awesome. Thank you so much. God bless you.

[@dolliegurl4607]

Yes, you were very clear on your instructions. I love how this stitch looks! I have never made a big project like a blanket, wish me luck. I just found this video and really enjoyed watching and listening to you. Thank you!

[@OpheliaTalks]

You're very welcome DollieGurl, thank you, Anja x

[@marysusansaballa5317]

It feels like i can do the stitch with the way you clearly explained. Thanks for the tutorial, Anja.😊

[@newsandentertainmentchannel]

You know you are amazing in everything you do… such a easy way to explain the stitch❤️just wondering can we add border to this blanket? Any suggestions pls

[@jacquiegrallelis7058]

Loved this pattern, so easy to follow and sits beautifully, no curling of the foundation chains/row. Thank you Anja 😍

[@OpheliaTalks]

You're welcome Jacquie, Anja x

[@marionmathews9852]

I think this is truly beautiful. It looks so much more complicated when you don’t know how. You’ve explained it very well, and I really think that I could do this. TFS

[@bethdoughty114]

I've looked at various other people's patterns for feather and fan stitch, but I like yours best!

[@roseprincess2155]

I bought this blanket kit at Black Sheep Wools as well as a Christmas present for myself. I have almost all of your blanket kits now. They are waiting for me whenever I find the time!

[@cristinamednick8600]

Hi Anya. I love a lot of your projects but this is my favorite. You and I crochet the same way, and that includes that first row, as Continental Europeans that we are, you from Belgium and I from Spain. I lived in Brussels for 2 years in the early 80s. Loved the country but couldn't take the lack of sun. Thanks for making your videos fun.

[@jessclayton2862]

I love the trick you teach on how to incorporate your ends when you change color - brilliant!

[@jackied2518]

Beautiful you make it very easy to understand thanks

[@marybethking9840]

I would love love love to get a complete hook set for once. This is my go to pattern for blankets

[@peggyharwell3674]

Lovely. Great colors

Thanks so much 😊 Anja x

[@josiekeating2396]

Yes I’ve made one from you n I love it soon will be making another soon

[@amandall3633]

Oh Anja,Now I have to go and buy some more yarn. I've always liked this pattern,and you've made it look so easy. I've just sent my son a C2C blanket,so apart from a granny square blanket that's on the go ,I've got time to do this. It looks so relaxing.I like the tip at the beginning about picking up both v loops, to prevent that dreadful hole. I use the back hump a lot, but that stretches to...A great video as always .Amanda xx

[@OpheliaTalks]

I am glad you like this stitch, i am loving the blanket as it works up, will update soon! thanks for watching! xxx

[@deborahm4484]

Hi Anya this is gorgeous love. The. Colours you are. A. Great teacher as always. I really enjoyed this video thanks so much xx

Woww! Incredible! The design is gorgeous and so simple, you explained it so well. Can you please tell me how many chains should I start with for an adult size head band..... Thank you so much in advance 💜💜

[@lawunderfrau]

It looks beautiful. Love your hand and nails, they look very young 🌷

[@sonalpande8662]

Thanku so much for this feather stitch. It is a lil easy for me. I am starting this for my new blanket. Will soon upload it on our Facebook group.😂❤️.

[@flossyflue4305]

Yes I love this stitch, along with the colours it is lovely, I’ve decided to make one for me, if it’s good enough I will give it to my granddaughter. It’s just the amount of wool I’m worried about, I’m using baby double knitting.

[@trijntjedijkstra1619]

Deze staat ook nog op mijn lijst van dekens die ik nog wil maken . Ook in de kleuren zo als jij ze hebt gebruikt van het pakket .

[@silverma65]

Like this pattern and will certainly try making one. I crochet blankets for pets in single crochet and donate them to my local Animal Shelter. SC solid blankets (no holes) so pets can’t get their nails hooked into them. Please consider making a tutorial for a sc rectangle that I can use my scraps to make a blanket.

I’ve started this afghan! But, the end of my row is different than the beginning. Not sure what I did wrong. ❤️

[@OpheliaTalks]

Can you make it work out?

[@sharonarrendale2724]

I’m on my 12th row. I thought that I was doing okay. This row is all off. I’m thinking about starting over. 🙁 ❤️

It so nice and so easy

[@karoljelbert1996]

Do you have a written pattern for this please?

[@kerrylosi1595]

Hi Anya. You make me laugh coz as avid crocheter, we all suffer the same disease. Lol. Many projects at once. As long as it makes us all happy, then all is forgiven. Love the colours. Vibrant. Cheerful 😀. I am going to start the granny cluster blanket. Thanks for the inspiration. God bless.

[@77sun222]

Hello Fantastic easy pattern. Thank you.

[@mirtaovejero1032]

Hermosa! Gracias! 🤗🇦🇷👏

[@itsapat]

When I have the chain done, do I start in the second or third stitch from hook? I couldn't make out what was being said. I like the gentleness of the curve of this pattern. So pretty.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Third most likely!

[@natbugart92]

Hi 👋 I was wondering how would you do a border if you want one? Thank you

[@OpheliaTalks]

Have a look at some of my other blanket videos, they should give you ideas and tips to help, Anja x

[@Mango-hu8jb]

Love it Would like to know how many balls of wool in each colour is needed to make this pattern

[@OpheliaTalks]

in total I think i used between 16 - 17 balls

[@helenforrestal580]

Ophelia I’m getting ready to tear my hair out!!! I’m desperately trying to get feather and fan to work. The first and second rows go fine but after the 3rd row of DC the next row ends without the remaining 4 sts. What on earth am I doing wrong? Looking back over work it all goes uneven after the (sk1, dc) 5 times. Love this pattern if I could just get it to work!!!! Helen

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hello Helen, are you a member of my FB group? There we can help you much better as it's easier to message you and write comments/answers to questions and problems etc, there must be some logical explanation to your problem, but without seeing a picture or something I cannot help very much, so sorry, Anja x facebook.com/groups/opheliatalkscrochet

[@anita9696]

Hallo Anja, waar kan ik de volgorde van de kleuren vinden. Dankjewel voor de mooie patronen. Ben net klaar met de Jam Jar Happines blanket. Groetjes uit Almelo Nederland. Anita😘

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hi Anita, if you watch the video I show the list of colours in the beginning I was using, it was from a pack I bought, thanks for watching, Anja x

[@lindatreend254]

I love this, Anja! You used a pack of yarn, but can you tell us how many skeins of each color for your twin-size blanket?

[@OpheliaTalks]

15 balls in total!!

[@karenneale2840]

Hi anya your blankets are so beautiful. St the craft fairs do they sell attic 24 packs or just black sheep wools packs?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hello Karen, I haven't seen anyone selling Attic24 packs at any craft shows. Anja x

[@hesternaude]

Is the pattern with colours available?

[@sunnyside6567]

Do you start the new color with the row of double crochet? I’m so confused 😂.

[@barbaranesmith1890]

I have trouble when I crochet over the ends as you do in the video, they eventually pull out. Have you had this problem? Also have you ever put a border on this type of pattern?

[@the7HoffmanGirls]

What do you estimate the measurement of the original chain will decrease after the wavy row is done? By half? By one third?

[@OpheliaTalks]

It depends on your tension really, but I'd say definitely 1/4-1/3 decrease in length. Anja x

[@the7HoffmanGirls]

@@OpheliaTalks I understand there are many variables. I just needed an estimate to get me started. Thank you.

This is absolutely beautiful, like this yarn so much, I'd like to crochet something like this but I'm so scared about the number of skeins I need 😂 ... How many balls should I use if I manage to do one, I have no idea 🤔 ❤

[@frane1969]

I am confused to why I do not end with having to do the 3 sets of 2 double crochet in the same stitch. I chained 102 plus 2. I ended up doing 4 double crochets with a space in between. I need help!!!!!!! Thank you

[@bethdoughty114]

If I am reading you correctly, then my guess is that you do actually have the correct number of stitches, but are not recognising the last one, which can sometimes get somewhat flattened looking.

[@frane1969]

@@bethdoughty114 thank you so much. I’ll try that.

[@bethdoughty114]

@@@frane1969 another suggestion is to do a sample piece the size that Anja used for the tutorial.

I followed the list of the colours which was included in the Apres Ski pack....

Could you supply the sequence of color rows as the pattern directions are not available anywhere online.

There is no packaged kit available from supplier.

no a wavy edge is lovely

What is the difference between feather and fan stitch and chevron?????

Do mean the 5th stitch double chrochet..not the 50th? Huh?

Depends how big you want to make it, 15 balls will make a single bed sized blanket, Anja x

Anja, 15 balls of every colour, or 15 in total? I am from South Africa and just love this pattern! Thanks! hester

[@lynnegordon6749]

Oops, your nails match the colour on the end of your blanket! On purpose, or just happened? I like having more than one project on the go. The variety keeps me going. I am going to use this pattern for a shawl, thank you, Anja.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Not completely on purpose.... maybe I did choose with the project in mind! Thanks for your comment! Anja xxx

[@hesternaude]

Where can I find the colours to use, please! I am useless with colours!

[@grandmasmagic3858]

um...Anja, you missed a rather LARGE step...you started the third row partially, just dc's all along, then you skipped to how to change colour, but you neglected to say/show if ALL the rows after are just dc's OR one row is row one style and row two is straight dc's...I don't have the written pattern, am only following this vid and I am at the beginning of row four and have no idea what to do next..!!

[@susanmorris5294]

All double chrochet and skip a stitch and then 2 dble chrochets.

[@Mariana090267]

Did you finish this blanket?

[@OpheliaTalks]

I am just about to film the update on it! keep a look out for the video coming soon! xxx

[@larry9248]

what are the multiples again? 17 + ?

[@barbaralong4362]

17, and then however many chains you like to do for a double crochet (US terms) . So, if you do 3 chains, it's a multiple of 17+3. Anja does 2 chains, do she did 51 (17×3) and then chained 2 for the first double crochet of the actual row (not the foundation chain) before beginning to work into the next chain for the row. If you're planning on doing a foundation double crochet, it's just a multiple of 17.

[@sheiliaprather4006]

Do you have a free written pattern. It's had for me to follow the video.🤔

[@OpheliaTalks]

No sorry Sheilia, I don't have written patterns for all of my projects, some of them are video tutorials only, Anja x
