I have watched other videos and they go a o fast and do not explain as well as you do. Thank you so much Even with telling me how to slow down the video. Again thank you for a Senior Citizen tha t has star t ed crocheting af as in and wonders why she ever stopped!! You do such beautiful work.

Hi Bonnie and good morning, soo...beautiful! Thank you for this lovely baby blanket tutorial. It is like a large gorgeous sampler. Also, thank you for explaining what DK means. I've enjoyed working with that weight before and it is probably my favorite. Although it is a little harder to come by where I live.

You can always size up to what is available in your area Roxirox. Just be sure to upsize your hook to match and you are good to go!

This is such a beautiful and fun blanket to make. I love your videos and find you a wonderful teacher. I am curious as to the finished size of your blanket . I do not crochet particularly tight but my piece seemed significantly smaller. I added extra rows of the various stitch patterns and was able to make it the size I wanted.

[@martieriddle9123]

Hi Bonnie! I’m a huge fan of yours. I just love all your beautiful throws and baby blankets! I have a question about this particular pattern though. On round 25 when you do those back post double crochets, wouldn’t it work just as well to do them front post, or is there a specific reason for doing them back post? Thank you!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I believe both work Martie, but I personally prefer the look of them after turning. I think it may keep the stitches from leaning in one direction.

Hi Bonnie. Im making this blanket now but i used a smaller hook, so as you know my blanket will be a tad bit smaller. If I want to add some more rows, which rows could i repeat or what stitches could i add to the blanket where you ended yours to make mines bigger to the sizes I need???? Love your channel btw.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

You can easily add extra rounds of woven stitch to the outer rounds. You may need to recalculate for the outer shell portion though if you add any rounds.

[@caroldalton7518]

Beautiful. Is there a written pattern please? Oops I see it’s part of the booklet oh dear. Ok I’ll have to follow the video as I only wish to do this blanket. I’d buy this pattern on its own if available.

Oh! Just so you know, I manage the Arrow stitch on the sides just fine. Very easy....just need to see/understand what is happening in the corner. I also bought the book so I could read the instructions there but the instructions tend to assume you know how to manage corners.

[@pixiepirate]

I just noticed on row 7 on your video you skip the first stitch when starting the woven the written pattern says to not skip the first stitch and then start doing the repeat of skip and then woven so I belive this is where a lot of people are finding in later rows their stitch count are off by 1 like in some of the other comments :)

I wish I had seen this comment before starting and then restarting and still being off on my stitch count! It at least makes me feel better about it lol

Love this blanket, I am wondering what happened to row 13. It went from row 11 school to the woven stitch and it was said to be 14. Please help.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

All rows are clearly labeled in the video Shannon. Could your video device have skipped ahead accidentally? All are playing for me here.

[@OrchidBeauty0927]

So when I did my first round with the woven stitch, I ended up with 10 on each side instead of 11. I keep looking at it and following along but can’t figure out where I am going wrong.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

How was your stitch count on the rounds preceding the woven rounds? Usually stitch count issues begin earlier in the work.

[@OrchidBeauty0927]

I unraveled that woven row and realized my issue was overlooking stitches near the corner

[@salouaeldali4363]

[@hajahneveenchannel]

Could I make this beautiful Blanket into the bernat baby yarn (thick)? Thank you

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

You could try Nevin, but may want to do two things first: upsize your hook to match your yarn size, and make some small swatches of the stitches to see if you like the result. Some of these stitches will be much thicker with thicker yarn, especially the Celtic Weave.

[@hajahneveenchannel]

Help! Stuck on round 13 .... should finish with 160 stitches? I can only make it 140?? If each cable stitch has 3 single crochets behind it each side would have 30 single crochets plus each corner which totals 35 stitches each side ???? Help!! Where are the other 5 stitches each side I’m missing ???? I’ve even draw sketches to work out the maths?

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I just verified the stitch count with the pattern and you should have 33 sts (behind the 11 cables), plus 3 additional single crochets plus 4 sc for the corner stitches = 40 sts per side. You may need to check your stitch count a round or two before beginning the cable row, especially if you have fewer than 11 cables per side.

[@juliewawrzynowicz9849]

Hi Bonnie I have redone round 13 over and over and watched your video over again and am getting a stitch count of 41 on each side because instead of plus 3 I have plus 4 additional single crochets as demonstrated in your video at time 41.12 to 41.48 for each corner. My counts are 33 stitches behind the cable stitches 4 additional single crochets (2 at the beginning and 2 at the end of the cable stitches) then plus 4 for the corners. I need help to confirm where I’m going wrong please?

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

@@juliewawrzynowicz9849 I would need a photo to find that one extra sc, but it may be just as easy to make one less per side of this blanket somewhere. I have double checked the written pattern to confirm that the total stitch count (which includes the sc in the corners) should be 160 sc.

[@shellyh.304]

Hi Bonnie. I’m having the exact same issue and she is correct about the stitch count being 41 in the tutorial. Based on the description in the tutorial, there are 3 stitches behind each of the 11cables = 33. Then on each end there are four additional stitches (2 from the corner of the previous round and 2 for the new corner). 33+4+4 = 41. So either the written pattern is wrong or the way it’s described in the tutorial is wrong. I’ve watched it several times and the way you explain it the total on each side is 41, not 40.

[@Candy102297]

Im having the exact same issue...how did you guys fix it...Ive worked it twice and still coming out with that one extra pesky stitch =41...I have done Bonnie's designs many times so I would consider myself confident I can follow her work...just not sure where Im going wrong. 33+4+4=41...idk...just dont want to mess up future rounds...
