Thanks for your help. I love this pillow you have in your pictures here! Do you have a pattern available for that as well?? Thank you so much Nina for your kind words! You can read my blog post about the pillow here: Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!
I love this pattern! I am looking forward to crocheting this afghan. Hi Sue, Thank you! The blanket is made of 16 regular squares. Karen, you can find more information about the blanket in this post: Which square pattern did you use for the pillow in the picture? Is there a pattern for the pillow? Thank you for the blanket pattern. I am going to make it soon. Hi Deborah, I found the pattern for that flower granny square in a Japanese craft book. Hi just made this blanket. Doing the border- should the first row read 3dc, 3ch, 3dc in corners?
Because the second row says to do dc, ch2, dc in chain 3 space? Thank you so much. I made it in raw cotton dk so it is really big and heavy. I fell asleep under it a few times while making it. Dear Marianne, I think this blanket would look great in white! Thank you very much! Happy Christmas and happy New Year to yoo, too! I am so lost. Thank you for the beautiful pattern. Why is your pattern different than the one pictured? Please explain layout of all squares for joining. You said there are no half-squares, but it appears to be joined on the diagonal, which would require half-squares to achieve the straight sides.
Hi Deb, For this blanket you need to make 16 squares in total and to join them together, horizontally first, then vertically. If you made one square, you would see how it works. Your pattern looks wonderful! What yarn did you use and how many skeins did it take? The yarn I used is no. I spent 7 skeins of g, and used 4 mm crochet hook. Hi Dada, I too fell in love with your blanket. I am not use to complicated crochet patterns, but thought that I could do yours. However, I have run into trouble.
