When I chained 6 in the beginning I was left with a hole big enough to put my thumb through. Could I use a magic circle instead of chaining 6 or would that mess up the pattern?

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

You can try a magic ring. There will be holes bigger than that in this pattern though. Every chain 5 there is going to be a gap at least that big. It’s a every lacy design.

[@lynnwatkins305]

Jonna thank you for going slow so us who can not understand a written pattern could follow along with you. Wish I could post my blanket on here but no way to. Again thank you

[@rapa2894]

This pattern was what got me super into crochet. Your exact video is responsible for bringing me endless joy. I made this for my Nana 6 years ago when she moved into a nursing home. A few years later she came to live with me, by then she didn't know who I was anymore. But she still had her blanket. Every time she used it (almost daily) she would tell me "my friend made it for me a long time ago, I can't remember her name but she was so sweet" and I'd tear up every time. She passed away at the end of 2019, and I now have the blanket. I'll never forget about it or your tutorial. 💕💕

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

This is an amazing story. Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me. Lots of love to you. Happy holidays and merry Christmas!

Very well done! Both the video and the blanket. So many videos have the instructor talking with a lot of nonsense while they are crocheting, you are concise and you explain well. Thank you.

4 months ago I started crocheting again. I made dozens of pot holders and beanies. I watched your video and then followed along with it. So far I am only on row 11. Your directions are clear and I can see the stitches very well. Thank you for doing this for us. Have a great day!!

I finally finished my virus blanket and it took me a total of about 3-4 weeks! it was so easy and fast! I just put a straight edge around it in single crochet and 4 rows. it turned out so gorgeous! I had like a dark bluejean color, lime green, and a verigated light blue/lime green/white/and dark blue. thanks so much for the super easy tutorial!

Momma Bear wow I’m liking the colors you are describing. Do you have a picture of the blanket would Iove to see it. I’m making this blanket in this design for the first time using white, brown , light grey and beige.

[@sharondaallen170]

I’ve made so many of these blankets, shawls, lapghan and ponchos! You are an EXCELLENT instructor. So clear and calm videos. Thank you. This is my absolute favorite stitch. Thank you for everything you do!

[@meganbooms2951]

I love this pattern! I let my husband pick the colors and pattern for the baby blanket I'm making for our first baby (due in 5 weeks!) And it's coming together beautifully in mint and variegated pastels. It took about 12 rows before it started to lay flat but now that it is I can see it's going to be a very pretty blanket!

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

+Megan Booms congratulations on your first baby!! So exciting. Babies are the most fun to crochet for ✨ I try to let people know it doesn't like to lay flat until 12-16 rows. Thank you for commenting and watching 🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@carlotaperez-douk2135]

very good teacher Jonna Martinez, very patient and by listening to you i learn all the stitches and understand the patterns..thank you

[@Adam-Taylor-Composer]

Thank you for this video! I'm going to have to make this one. One thing that I LOVE and that I appreciate you doing is telling us that at the beginning it doesn't lay flat. I always get to that point and think I've messed up somewhere. It's nice when I'm told "If it looks funky, that's normal".

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

+Adam Taylor I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed my video! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@ruthbrekke8817]

You did a very good job with the instruction. I am on row 12 and it still is curling up and looking wonky. Any suggestions?

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Hello Ruth, That is very normal if you have the right stitch count. Depending on yarn it might need to be blocked after you finish it. Take the work with your hands and pull it out in all directions. It’s also a lacy pattern so completely flat is not really a thing. Thank you for watching commenting.

[@nelitzarodriguez6637]

[@lilianahorjea8183]

Thank you for the instructions I though size G for that kind of yarn is to tight- maybe I am wrong , please let me know how does it feel the finished blanket thank you and God bless you 🌸

[@SuperDivatude]

@Jonna Martinez, yes I counted my stitches. What I ended up doing was moving my first stitch back a few spaces to get the ch3 +space sequence to correct it. So far I think that did the trick. Btw, I'm using lime green, damson purple and med grey by Big Twist brand yarn.

It does work up quickly! It will make a lovely gift. ❤️ Thank you for. Watching and commenting. 🌸🌸🌸

[@Thekatswhiskas]

started making this in 4.5mm with Aran yarn and it won't lie flat..also started one with 5.5mm and same yarn and it's still ruffled..I'm on row 11 and not sure whether to start again or carry on..should this be flat at this stage?

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

I've never worked in that yarn, but when you say ruffled, do you mean almost curling into itself or just a little crumpled? If it's just unattractive at this point that yarn might need to be blocked. If you are part of any yarn groups maybe ask if anyone else had made it with that yarn. Let me know. 😉

[@Thekatswhiskas]

+Jonna Martinez its the UK equivelant of worsted...I mean that it's a bit crumpled at the sides...I have stretched it slightly and looks a bit better..I am going to block it once I have finished...I am on a few crochet groups so will let you know how it goes..Thank you.

I love this blanket but I can't seem to make it work.

I wish I could add a pic here some some advise, I was trying to make this blankie for my baby due in May.

It took me 3 tries but I think I finally understood the directions. I had to undo the 1st 4 rows so many times because I didn't count correctly. Seems I cannot talk and crochet at the same time when following directions, so now - no friends are allowed to distract me until I finish this blanket. :-) Many thanks!

I love this video and I have been crocheting along. Much to my delight, this is turning out very well! I purchased your pattern and have it to follow. Now I'm going to start repeating the sequence, but I want to make sure I am repeating the correct rows. Can you comment as to what rows I repeat on the printed pattern, as they go from Row 1 to Row 8. I have Loopy Row, 1st DC Row, 2nd DC Row, and DC Ch1 DC Row, which on the printed pattern is Row 1 thru Row 4. Thanks for such a great video!

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

Loopy row, 1st dc row 2nd dc row Dc ch1 Dc row These 4 rows you repeat. Down at the bottom of the pattern (last page) It should tell you this. Thank you for purchasing the pattern and for watching the video! I’m so happy it’s working out so well for you. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Dear Joanna, thank you for your tutorial. After I got into a car crash and had a bad concussion I started crocheting and this is the first blanket that I did and this tutorial helped me to heal and feel better again. Thank you so much for your work it has helped my life for the better.

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

I’m seeing this comment a YEAR after you write. I’m so sorry to hear about the car accident. I hope you are feeling better and I am very happy this pattern was doable for you. Thank you for watching and commenting. ❤️

[@susantaggart5295]

just letting you know I had no luck finding the yarn. I finally called redhead they said is discontinued. just letting you know for the future. thank-you😀

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

+Susan Taggart oh no! That's terrible! 😢thank you for commenting and letting us know.

[@nicolegomez4742]

a friend recommended this video to since she's making the blanket. i was wondering what yarn to use since this one is discontinued and what size it needs to be.

[@priyankajoshi8963]

I think this might look very beautiful in mandala yarn.

[@chendawilliam7052]

Susan Taggart have you tried Amazon? Or actual site for redheart

[@yvettehobbs1063]

+Chenda William On the Red Heart website, Shimmer is discontinued. On Amazon, the few skeins I saw were outrageous on price. To give you an idea, the one skein I saw of Red Heart Shimmer in white was priced at over a thousand dollars

[@sylviaseri4235]

Love this blanket. You are a very good instructor!!

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

+sylvia seri this is so nice! Thank you for watching and commenting

[@amandaweller8712]

wheres best place to change colours plz

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

+amanda weller I always change colors on the "loopy" row.

[@rachaelhodge9019]

I really enjoy working on this blanket. I chose a multicolored yarn for the project so I am not changing colors. I am on my sixth skein of yarn and I believe I am just about done. It's for a dear friend. I also plan on making one for my new grand daughter. I will be using white, light pink and light purple for that one. I will be using this wonderful pattern again. The video really helped me learn this pattern and it is so enjoyable. Thank you so much!!

[@ZimVader-0017]

I've been wondering, does anyone know why they're called virus blankets and shawls? I don't disagree that this is a beautiful pattern, I'm just curious how they came up with the name.

[@JonnaMartinezCrochet]

+Zim Vader0017 I named it that because it uses the same stitch as the virus shawl. The virus shawl got named that from my understanding, that it was a mispronounced word and then it took over the Internet like a virus. But who knows. There is also almost the exact shawl on Ravelry as the German shell shawl. I would like to rename this pattern the German shell blanket but I don't think anyone would find it! Thank you for watching and commenting 🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@jennyobiliseen4301]

Zim Vader0017 maybe it was named virus for the half circles multiple like a virus throughout the rows. That was my initial understanding?

[@gloriajackson850]

Jonna Martinez /dish cloth

[@chrissievee160]

Perhaps because of the way it grows? The arches multiply, kind of reminding of how a virus would/could.

[@jonna203]

Zim Vader0017 it's called the virus bc when it was originally downloaded the pattern went viral

[@Fedeleness]

I made Christmas doilies out of these using red , green and variegated xmas colors. Gorgeous. Thanks so much for this tutorial.

I love your voice. I also really appreciate that you use the correct terminology when narrating what you're doing. It makes it easy to just listen and crochet with you. New sub. Can't wait to create this.
