Just finished another baby blanket! I have made my best
effort to write the instructions for it. But, of course, there might be
mistakes; so if something doesn’t make sense, please ask/let me know in the
comments.
I used Pound of Love yarn by Lion Brand.

ReplyDeleteHello I love your crochet blog and have learned allot from your postings. I am new to crochet and can only do simple kinds of crochet. I fell in love with your Brunfelsia Inspired Crochet Flowers but I do not know how to read the pattern without the instructions. Would you please tell me how to crochet these lovely flowers. Thanks for your help. Greatly appreciated. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteSure, I'll try to make a photo tutorial by the end of this month.
DeleteVery pretty and very pink, like, good evening
ReplyDeleteI love it. I have hard time writing instructions as well. Is that a star stitch? I made a throw for my daughter. It looks lovely, great color choice. I love the pink!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what star stitch is.
DeleteVery pretty Olga! :)

It is so pretty. I just adore the color pink. You did a lovely job.
ReplyDeleteI am making this right now and it is turning out beautiful. Thank you for this free pattern.
ReplyDeleteI´m glad to know it ;-)
DeleteThis blanket is absolutely gorgeous. I want to make one just like it for my on the way.. (: I must admit though I'm still so new to crocheting that I don't fully understand the written instructions. Is there a chance that you could help by putting up a picture tutorial? Thank you, greatly appreciated!
ReplyDeleteHi Carly, sure I'll try to make a photo tutorial for this stitch.
DeleteCarly, I made the tutorial

Thanks !! Now it makes sense to me! LOL
DeleteThanks for sharing this lovely baby blanket, I'm making it now in dusty rose, rainbow hues and sparkle white for a brand new dad....gonna crochet the babys name in it too. It's so sweet! May the Lord continue to bless you Olga...always.
ReplyDeleteI followed your instructions easily. Well written and the blanket turned out so pretty. Less delicate than yours but I'm still learning! I'm a fan :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know you could follow the instructions easily. Thank you for the feedback.
DeleteI'd doing this in baby blue for a little boy, and I must say I'm a horrible crocheter BUT getting soo many compliments! Finally, after years of searching there's a place to find a simple pattern that makes me appear to be an experienced & creative mama. Ha! Thanks again!
DeleteThank you so very much for this pattern. I have been looking for a blanket to make for my son and I adore the way its turning out! Im working with white and blue, creating stripes. Again thank you :) Your blog is such an inspiration <3
ReplyDeleteWondering if you have photo instructions for the border? I'm ok with the top edge but it's the sides that I'm a bit sketchy on.
ReplyDeleteHi, sorry I only now noticed your comment (I have over 200 posts and it's hard to keep track of all the new comments on old posts). No, I don't have a tutorial for this blanket trim, but I have a tutorial for almost the same trim on a different blanket. Perhaps it will help: http://lacycrochet.blogspot.com/2013/11/crochet-scalloped-trim-tutorial.html
DeleteHi Olga, Lovely work and so talented. Im a beginner and would like to know how many multiples of stitches I need to work with for a pattern.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, the stitch is a multiple of 5, plus 1. Check out my tutorial for this stitch if you need additional help: http://lacycrochet.blogspot.com/2013/06/lovely-shells-stitch-tutorial.html
DeleteThank you for the 5 plus 1. I am making this in Dk yarn, but for a full Afghan, so I’ll make it larger. Thank you so much for your pattern.
Deleteif you want to make a larger size....what multiple would you use to make it correctly?
ReplyDeletea multiple of 5, plus 1
DeleteCan we use this pattern to make prayer shawl? Thanks
ReplyDeleteSure, I don't mind.
DeleteHi Olga! Love this blanket! To make it larger, how many additional chains do I add to the chain of 121? Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThis stitch is a multiple of 5, plus 1. So you can add to 121 any number that is divisible by 5.
DeleteAlso here I have a detailed photo tutorial for this stitch: http://lacycrochet.blogspot.com/2013/06/lovely-shells-stitch-tutorial.html
Did yours lay so beautifully as u crocheted it or did you need to do some blocking? I'm a good bit in and its pretty but not as smooth looking as yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks Olga! This was the first crochet project i have attempted and it turned out just beautiful. I actually amazed myself. Thanks for the easy to follow directions. To produce something as beautiful as this for my first project has really inspired me to learn more. :)
ReplyDeleteI use this yarn a lot and love it. I want to place an order but don't see your link so you can get your sales commission. Could you send it to me? ritabradt@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThank you Olga! I love your creations!
Lovely pattern!! Thanks so much. I ended at 69 rows and used almost exactly 12 ounces of worsted weight yarn. I used a contrasting color for the border, and it looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is beautiful, and so easy to follow! I've just started a baby blanket using Bernat Sweet & Sunny baby sport yarn and a size F hook. I'm making it a bit larger than your instructions, but it wasn't hard to do the math and figure out how many stitches to add. I can't wait to see how it comes out, and it's working up very quickly so far! I'll try to post a photo when I'm done!
ReplyDeleteI made this as my first afghan and people keep assuming that it was one of my daughter's grandmothers that made it! It turned out beautifully! But, my daughter is getting bigger now, and I was wondering how I would expand this pattern to be a 42x42 inch receiving blanket? Thank you SO much for this pattern! It is one of my daugther's favorite blankies!
ReplyDeleteHi! If I wanted to make this pattern larger, how many chains would I make my foundation row?
ReplyDeleteI am making this now but find the yarn very stiff. Can and in what can I wash it to make it softer?
