[@VilaSpiderhawk1]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! How very clever! When you're working something like 250 sts per row, this is ENORMOUSLY helpful!

[@viviennegibbison1778]

Thank you so much for the video's, very clear and easy to follow. Never done anything like this before and it is coming out amazing. Going have to do the aran heart throw next.

[@valkiernan8306]

I just found your site,, OMG. It's wonderful, I was looking for something challenging for another Maine winter. We got snow yesterday and today, and I found you and my next project.. Thank You for your wonderful channel, and being a great teacher.. Merry Christmas.... Val

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

How kind of you Val! Thanks for your sweet encouragement! Wow - snow. I hope this keeps you warm this winter. Not looking forward to the white cold stuff, but I know it will be here soon. Blessings to you! Bonnie

[@bethfinch4672]

I've printed the pattern and bookmarked the tutorial. This is absolutely stunning, I'll learn new stitches, and believe following with the pattern beside me, I'll finally "get" how to read a pattern! Thank you so much. Love your way of teaching!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Glad this is working for you Beth! Just to let you know, the videos are a tad more accurate than the written pattern.

[@purrfectamewsments9231]

Thank you for this amazing video and easy to follow demonstrations! The hint on "not turning the whole piece" in the cable section will serve us well as the project grows. I commented on Pippin that this project is akin to interval training; intense effort on the special stitches with resting rows on the raised front ridge. After about 15 cables, the muscle memory kicked it, and with the arrows as well. I borrowed Contemporary Celtic Crochet from the library, renewed it and bought it. The stitch guide alone is worth the price. Kindest regards, Sandy

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Thank you for your kind, encouraging words! Blessings, Bonnie

[@SandraLopez-yq1zs]

I've already made two of your throws, different patterns as gifts. Not as difficult as I thought. Thank u

[@suelou56]

I'm currently making this. November 2020. Using red heart soft in grey heather and seafoam. Love this tutorial. Just starting and having so much enjoyment. Thank you for all you do and such wonderful instructions♥️👍

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

My pleasure Susan! Thanks for taking the time to leave such an encouraging comment today.

[@hershey7511]

I am 'hooked' on this pattern and your site, I am more a quilter and knitter, your video really helps with the stitches I am not familiar with, thank you.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

You are very welcome Vicki! Welcome aboard!

[@shannon7071]

My pleasure Dream-Catcher!

[@dianarawlings6093]

Thank you so much video was awesome and you instructions helped me learn how to read pattens. Love your videos

[@LyndaThomasflymefree54]

I LOVE THIS BONNIE. From the first time I saw this similar pattern used as a border I've searched for a way to accomplish that wave look row by row specifically to create an Afghan. Who better to teach this than you? No one but you comes to mind. Excellent process tutorial. Thank You.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Awwww.... thank you Lynda!

[@beverleyfisher8497]

Had a reminder in my calendar for this and missed it so I'll do catch up. These videos will be available for some time I hope. Love your lessons. Gives me a challenge. God bless

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Yes Beverley, these are available indefinitely. Take your time!

[@melodybrewer9818]

Hello Bonnie. I just love watching your videos. You are such an awesome instructor. The cable stitch scares me, lol. But, I’m going to do this blanket. I really do like this one. Thanks for doing this.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Melody Brewer you should consider making a small swatch to practice the cable stitch. Any multiple of 3 +2 should work!😊

[@osham4lifeosham919]

Thank you so much for this design and as i email you regarding the size to.make it large the stitch you have given was 177 so i have doubled that stitch and made 354 to make a large one and it really came out very nice once again thank you and please keep updating videos.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Osham4life Osham I would love to see a photo of your work on this!

[@tly3]

Thank you for this comment! I've been looking EVERYWHERE to see how to convert this to a large blanket. I can't wait to make it!

[@michelleclark79709]

Oh my god. This is the first time I’ve watched one of your videos and I count out my chains in exactly the same way and for the same reason!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Michelle Clark great minds think alike?😉😊❤️

[@schizoozy]

Wow. you are a great instructor. love the cable stitch and you made it so painless to learn. ty

[@suzannemccarthy7340]

I love your patterns! Made 2 of your aran hearts throw where I learned new stitches which was a challenge. Now making this one I am learning the cable stitch and thought I would never memorize it....some frogging....I now love it...ready for the middle part!!!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Yay! So glad this is working for you Suzanne!

[@kimhall9967]

I love this pattern. Ive never seen this. Thank you.

[@SriRaamajayam]

love love love it:) you are a great teacher...great pattern...!

[@Muzicluvr777]

I’m working on a scarf that called for this cable stitch pattern and felt absolutely lost after that first cable and not knowing how to proceed onto the second. Thank you so much for this video! It’s nice to have video/live reference of how to do this stitch. And as you said, it’s really beautiful when it’s finished :) Saved me! Thank you!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Alannah so glad this worked out for you!

[@sherrybella12]

Thank you so much for the video. I've never crocheted cables and your video is so helpful.

[@kt.redacted1401]

I just finished my "cable" row and have the right number of cables . been crocheting for years but every now and then just have to do something new. Thank you for the challenge

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Welcome to my channel Kathleen! Blessings...

[@HAPPYBEADER9591]

Beautiful. I do want to make this afghan to, Your patterns will keep me busy Thank you for sharing your lovely and awesome talent. :)

[@kellypeters8330]

Absolutely love your designs,thx so much

[@louisecarlin9210]

Hi there, thank you for sharing this tutorial 🙏 would you be kind enough to tell me the multiple of stitches required. I was hoping you might help me calculate how much wool I need, as I don’t have the same yarn I have 2800mts of a bulky 5 which I would like to use. Given that your instructions are for a 4 weight.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

You can add multiples of 12 to the original starting chain.

[@therezakelly5194]

Thank you so much for your videos, love them I was wondering if you can make it bigger for a blanket

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

You can by adding multiples of 12 to the starting chain. You will need to add extra rows to the panels and do some refiguring on the trim, but this is very doable Thereza.

[@therezakelly5194]

You are the best thank you so much😘

[@purrfectamewsments9231]

I checked your stitch guide in Contemporary Celtic Crochet and the instructions for the woven stitch are different than on the Red Heart pattern for the 2nd half. There is a second yarn over.I am waiting for tomorrow's video for clarification and in the meantime gifted two beautiful scarves with a border around rows 1-17. I love learning these new stitches and expanding my crochet horizon. Thanks

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Yes, unfortunately there is an error in the Red Heart stitch guide. The video and Contemporary Celtic Crochet book are correct. There should NOT be a second yarn over as you pointed out. So sorry for the confusion. Blessings, Bonnie Barker BonnieBayCrochet.com

[@jannee94]

Ok I'm looking forward to it.

[@paulinemcleggan7585]

I would love to make this as a baby blanket. P,ease could you tell me the adjustments to make please. I really love your patterns. You are an excellent teacher. Bless you.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Thanks Pauline. I think that may be a redesign and could get pretty complicated. I do have other baby blankets with fun stitches should you be interested.

[@bakingmama49]

Love your style of crochet Bonnie . But sometimes I find it hard when you work in yrds

[@rebekahdavis8203]

This is gorgeous

[@gerriewalraven3525]

Thank you so much ...love iT .....big smile from me .....😀

[@jessicaquinlan6578]

To make this less wide could you use a foundation chain that's a multiple of both 3 and 4? Say, 120? This would accommodate all of the sections that are multiples of 2, 3 and 4?

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

The foundation chain determines the length on this design. You can shorten this by subtracting multiples of 12 from the original chain. I would stick with the regular chain.

[@rethamorgan5803]

Thanks everyone for their input regarding my question regarding multiples. I will try the multiples of 12.

[@jessicahamilton1913]

This is a wonderful project!! Thank you so much for these videos. I am a little discouraged at this point, after the first row of cables I only have 57. It worked out perfectly- one final cable and a space for sc at the end. I cannot find my mistake. Any words of wisdom? Is it possible to keep working and it'll work itself out? I should still have the 176 so I contemplating going onto the next row.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

One or two stitches won't break the bank, so to speak. If your cables are coming out now, just stick to what you have. Either way, you will be working a perimeter round around the throw at the end, and this covers a "multitude of sins" so to speak! I won't tell anyone if you don't!

[@jessicahamilton1913]

BonnieBayCrochet thank you so so much!! I feel so much better going forward. Thanks again for your hard work on the pattern and these videos!!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

The joy is all mine Jessica! Blessings to you...

[@noordeloos01]

This is amzing, is there a pattern on paper so I can translate it? For my friends in Holland?

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I believe this has already been done! Please check with the Pippin Crochet Club on Facebook. If you have trouble getting in touch with them, please let me know. Grace to you, Bonnie Barker BonnieBayCrochet.com

[@kimanaletto2601]

so pretty how can u make this bigger and make it look right

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I've had a lot of folks ask this very question. To make it bigger would require a redesign. It would depend a lot on the size you are going for and adjust the starting chain accordingly. The math gets a little sticky, and rows would need to be added to compensate for the length, but it is doable.

[@michelemizell9305]

Thank you for this design! I am loving it! Are the cable stitches suppose to be tight or slightly loose? TIA!

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Hmmm....I would say consistent, meaning neither too loose or too tight. I would try the gauge using single crochet to compare where your stitches are now. If you have further questions, just let me know and I'll try to help! Blessings, Bonnie Barker BonnieBayCrochet.com

[@condawilliams1539]

I am only getting 57 don't know where i went wrong for the 2nd row. Redid my row have 58 but no where to do a single. Will it be ok?

[@handsthatrockcrochet]

Well Done.

[@monicagarcia9375]

How many grams do we need for thia amazing oroject please?

[@Pandyana]

I want to make this wider and longer for my husband. I know I saw a post where you mentioned the stitch counts but since this is worked from the long side I'm not sure how to do that so it all works out. I thought I'd just increase the panels (Woven and Celtic weave). Can anyone help?

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

You can make it longer if you choose, and the multiple of 12 should work for most of the stitches. I would suggest adding more rows in the panels, and you will have to work with the lace border to adjust for the changes, but this is very doable.

[@Pandyana]

already planned on adding more rows to the panels and i am pretty sure my husband isn't in to lace so I'll have to figure something else out lol. Thank you Bonnie

[@Pandyana]

So I made a chain of 279 and so it ends up being 278 across. This works out perfectly so all the stitches are aligned and have the ending stitches right. It makes the afghan approximately 6 feet long. I'm adding extra rows to the panels and extra panels to make up the width it needs. I would post a pic of what I have done already but I don't know how

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Gwyn Wolf you can send a photo to me at [e-mail], but I don't think it is possible to post here on KZbin.

[@goharanjum9795]

Gwyn Wolf can u please show your blanket I also wanna to make a blanket for my self

i like your blanket so much and want this yarn so badley where can i order this yarn i am from holland and want to crochet a very big blanket for my granddaughter

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I'm not really sure Petra. Honestly, you can use any worsted weight yarn that is available there. Just pick your favorite and go with it! Blessings to you...

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

Video 3 is up!

[@rethamorgan5803]

Question. I want to do this pattern in squares, what multiples is the stitch count?

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

That's a little tricky because each stitch has a different multiple. I can give you these and you can determine how big you want your squares: cable = 3+2, arrow = 4+2, woven = 2, cable = 4.

[@rethamorgan5803]

Thank you. I will take this information and see what I can come up with. Happy Holidays!!!!!

[@rethamorgan5803]

So, this is really a pattern that can only be crocheted as one large piece. You have done a beautiful job with this piece and thank you for sharing with the world.

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

I suppose it can be designed to be squares. I have done something similar to what you are talking about with another pattern in my leaflet "Aran Afghans", but it is a totally different pattern. I'm sure what you are asking can be done, it would just take a complete rewrite.

[@GayleHallAZ]

Having the multiples is VERY helpful - thank you!

[@kt.redacted1401]

I may have missed it, but how many skeins did you use?

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

No problem Kathleen! You will need 8 skeins of the Red Heart With Love. For more information on this design, you can download the free pattern here: www.redheart.com/free-patterns/holiday-cables-throw

Can you cut the pattern down to make a baby blanket?

That would require a complete redesign. I do however have several baby blanket patterns available. You can check the out here: bonniebaycrochet.squarespace.com

🙂🙂😊😊

[@patsycline9820]

how many mulyiple for double bed please

[@BonnieBayCrochet]

That's really dependent on many factors: yarn choice, personal gauge, hook size, etc. You can lengthen the starting chain by a multiple of 12 to add length to your preference, and I would suggest adding rows of woven stitch and Celtic Weave to widen.
