🤯 make more stitches with my yarn tail! No more starting over🤪 oh my gosh you just leveled me up big time. Thank you soooo much, am I the only one who never knew this? You are an amazing teacher 🤗🪢👑
I do it ALL the time, Melissa ha ha ha Off camera I hardly ever stitch count a chain.
Alison you are by far my very best crochet teachers. I am not good with numbers. I follow you religiously.
I have made so many of your blankets and always have givealways.
I just love the way you so often include when you have found bargain buys. I am in the UK, I am a carer and always appreciate a bargain xxx. Thank you Sue Fairall
i love a bargain now retired i have to penny pinch all the time
I made these blankets for my boys in the 70s. Love it
18.04 on the video for those of us like me having to rewind to get to the start of the next block with the 15 stitch row
Thank you so much for yet another brilliant tutorial Alison from one 1962 baby to another 😀
You’re welcome 😊 I never thought of time stamping it thank you so much I will try and remember this tip xxx
I love this pattern. One can get the Pattern from Crochet Crowd, Call the Midwife Baby Blanket. I enjoy your channel.
It's quite old it's real name is fillet flowers it got the nick name "call the midwife" after it was seen on one of the "Call the midwife" tv series programs of the same name set in the 50's early 60's my mother used to knit this pattern a lot ( you can get patterns for the knitted version too) you can find it on Ravelry too and I think also lovcrafts and there are many on google if you type in free call the midwife blanket pattern
Alison, I LOVE your blankets. I watch you regularly, along with Bella Coco, mainly. I have made the most BEAUTIFUL blankets and your "filet" blankets are adorable and EASY PEASY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TUTORIALS.
That's so pretty!
Don't understand why anyone would give this video a thumbs down.
So much extraneous talking gets frustrating but the tutorial part is fantastic.
Vry well explained...even a novice crocheters can easily accomplish this... Thank u for sharing this beautiful project
Most welcome 😊
You are very welcome Alison. I was so happy to help out. I will be making one of these. They are so pretty. 🧶🧶🧶
Thanks again! This yarn is amazing.
Love your precise instructions. Especially love the long cast on tail for added stitches, What a great tip. All this and then the pleasure of your lovely voice.
Glad it was helpful!
I thought I was the only one who noticed all of the beautiful crochet blankets on that program. I love that show and it's actually kind of motivated me to make more baby blankets.
I notice crochet on all programs there are lots in Young Sheldon, set in the 70's and early 80's
I just love this flower box blanket. Plus your tutorial very easy to follow and best of all is your accent, so lovely to listen to. Thank you.
I was born in 1959 and I can remember this pattern! Will have to give it a go.......Happy memories! Thank you Alison x
Wonderful! My sister called me she was born in 59 too and one in 58 I have 7 sisters and they all remember these.
Hi Alison, 7 sisters! Gosh! Any brother's?! I'm struggling with this pattern. Can I just do one block with the flower in the middle instead of 2 blocks? And if I do just the one block what will I have to do to turn at the end etc.,? I would really appreciate your advice as I'm new to crocheting. Thank you Angela x
Thank you for your tutorial. I was born in 1966. I love this blanket. It’s beautiful.❤️
You’re welcome 😊 I was born in 1962
Ive made this numerous times. Its so easy once you get the hang of it. Magnificent in varigated yarn
I just wanted to let you know I learn a lot from you ,you are very good at directions thank you
I was born in 1960, and I had one almost the same, I remember it being a bit worn in the later date, as I also had it for my dolls...... Also a huge fan of Call The Midwife....
I'm going to try this one.
Thank you so much for your tutorials 😘🙂
Oh wow! yes we remember them there was another one similar I think it had like a fan shape I need to search on google its called fillet crochet OH and a teddy too
Thank you thank you thank you you turn me back to 60's lovely blanket I'll do it for my grand children/////thank you you are an excellent teacher/////////

❤❤❤
Looks complicated but explained simply and beautifully. Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
That trick on how to add extra stitches with the tail of your chain is incredible! I had five extra stitches, just as you said in your example, and I was able to correct my work using your trick. Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
I love watching you because you explain everything so well, and besides that I love listening to you talk. Thanks for all that you share.
You are so welcome!
I love this. So excited to make it. Such a beautiful vintage look. Thank you
Yay! Thank you!
wow, that long tail is a game changer. thank you
I can remember using one of these on my dollies in the 60's too. Will have to make one now as it brought back happy memories. Thank you ❤

Hi from Toronto. You were right - once you make one, you’ll make more. Love this pattern. Made it in white for baby gift and now making a huge one in velvet to gift a girlfriend who is a nurse. Thank you so much for your excellent tutorials.

Hi, I was a little confused at first with the very long explanation, but eventually I caught on. It’s a repeated rows pattern. Beautiful!🥳🌺
Glad it was helpful!
Thankyou Alison, you have taught me to Crochet. I absolutely love your Chanel ❤
Love this! I've been looking for a delicate pattern for my granddaughters christening blanket. This is it! Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome, This will make a wonderful Christning blanket. Try a real thin yarn and small hook for lovely delicate stitches. It will be stunning for that. xx
Gorgeous, gorgeous blanket! A sincere THANK U for sharing the Flower Box with us❣️
You are so welcome!
Hooray I've done it! I had to take it very slowly and keep stopping and starting the video but it was well worth it! Thank you Alison x

Love the blanket. I watched that show not all that long ago. Our PBS (public broadcasting station) was airing the series. It was fantastic!
thank you xx
Thank you Alison you are such a wonderful teacher!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing. Lovely listening to your accent. I am a Scot who remembers being a kid in 1960;s Scotland although I am now in Kent.
Wonderful! I have been watching re runs of call the midwife there is a blanket in every episode most are knitted but some crochet. I also found a lot of vintage patterns so looking forward to trying them out but i will say quite a few have printing mistakes hahahah
Literally watching the episode and saw baby Raymond’s blanket. Thank you! So excited to make for my twins that are due in April! ❤️❤️❤️
thanks
I'm a 1962 baby too! Wonderful video, so clearly explained, just made my first row of blocks. Thank you so much! 💗
Alison, thank you for the tutorial. This is a beautiful pattern. Will put it on my list of 'to do'.
You’re welcome 😊
Beautiful afghan! Pastels would look nice for spring.
Love it. I grew up in the 60' and born in April but im a little older than you. Im so excited. Thank you for teaching us your tricks also. You are a great teacher ❤
You are so welcome! old one hahahaha i feel my age when I have to go further down the list of dates you were born when filling out forms online hahahahah
I've seen this pattern many times and always fancied having a go. You have made this so easy to watch and follow. I made my first blanket last month for my friend's great grandson and now am going to make another one for my great nephew due in September. Thank you so much for your clear instructions
You’re welcome 😊
Alison, I was born in 1962 also, on 4th July,, I'm not American, as its their independent day, but I must say I am a very independent person, maybe that helps haha!! but I live in Western Australia born and bred 🇦🇺🤗😍😊
Hello, you are amazing, it looked difficult, but you made it so!!! Easy. I love this pattern.
Thank you! 😊 give it a try once you get it going it is quite easy to follow the repete.
I'm doing my second flower box blanket and I love it! Thank you for your wonderful video. I'm even getting use to the UK stitches.
Love this pattern AND Call the Midwife!
Me too. thank you xx
Thank you so much for this video. I have always wanted to make this one. Today is the day! Only need to decide on color.
You are so welcome!
Hi Alison. I made this blanket from a paper pattern over 25 years ago. Came across your video & decided to give it a go again. I absolutely love it. Thanks again Alison. Really enjoy your channel & the projects you demonstrate x
Wonderful! I have a few very old patterns that were my mothers too. I love vintage patterns.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful blanket with us!! It's gorgeous!!
Please take care and stay safe and healthy 💕💗
thank you so much xx you stay safe too.
I’m off to Edinburgh today! Your accent has got me in the right frame of mind! Thanks!! You have lovely hands by the way! 👌🏼🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶👌🏼
This is a beautiful pattern. Crochets up beautifully in a cotton and looks fantastic as a table cloth also. Very versatile.
Thank you! 😊
Love this blanket pattern. Looking forward to the border instructions. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
This is my favorite pattern. I made one gift blanket last year. Now another baby is coming and this is the first pattern I thought of.
Thank you for posting the pattern.
Love this pattern! The flowers kind of look like angels to me :) Happy Hooking and ty for sharing!
Thank you! 😊 so it does, I never noticed that thank you xxx
Alison, I think this is my new favorite of your blankets! I love the classic simplicity. I always look forward to your videos as you are such a wonderful teacher.💗💗💗
You are so welcome! I enjoyed making this. The white is amazing. I'd love to do a big one for my bed but id need a lot of yar about 20 to 30 as its a big king size bad hahahahaah
Alison thank this is a beautiful blanket 👏👏🌹
Thank you so much for this lovely pattern and easy to follow tutorial. Im a complete beginner and have just finished my first one and enjoyed every bit of making it.
You are so welcome!
I've been making articles of clothing for the past couple of years. Today I saw this video and said..." this beautiful, nostalgic baby blanket is my next project!!" Takes me back to a simpler time.
You are so welcome! yes much simpler times, Melodie Xxx
So beautiful and so are you! 🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺
Oh thank you so much xx
Beautiful blanket. I agree with Rea, don't know why anyone would thumbs down your video. It was well explained and you did it slowly. A project that I will soon be doing.
Thank you for showing it to us. I love thinking back to simpler times. I am a 1962 baby too. Have a nice day.
This is a very beautiful baby blanket or chair covering thank you!!
Thank you! 😊
I crocheted this watching and following this tutorial. We have a new baby coming in December. Love this stitch and blanket, I’ll be crocheting this for the new baby. Great tutorial.
I have made my first completed blocks row. Very pleased with the results:) Another great tutorial!
Wonderful!
Made oneeeeee, yahoooo now I have to look for the edge video. Thank u so much
Wonderful!
Hi Alison!! I love the Call the Midwife blanket. I have made several in all sizes from baby size to queen size bed.
That is brilliant and it crochets quite fast too doesn't it. I would love to make this with a colour changing yarn like the Ice yarns but I would need about 30 balls for my bed. hahahah.
the queen size must be awsome
I had seen this pattern in 70s, but we used it as table runner. Maybe my mum thought it was too beautiful to use as a blanket. Thank you for the tutorial, this memory is really soothing my mind.
Great idea!
Love this pattern! Made it bigger in white. Thank you for your tutorials!
You’re welcome 😊
I have been making these for about 6 years. I found the “Call the Midwife” Pattern on line. Now there seems to be many of them. I used a polished cotton yarn and they were beautiful. I know I have made 7 for my grands and sold about 20 to other non crocheting grand moms for their grands!
what is polished cotton? Is it the sort of fluffy one rather than the strands. I am thinking brushed cotton??
Just finishing my third - one lap size one sofa size now infant size… thanks for sharing pattern🙏
Great job!
Wow! 1962? You're older than my dad by 5 years! And I have my own children now that I want to make blankets for!! Crazy!
Great tip adding the long chain in the beginning is the most helpful tip I needed for five more chains and it helped me get the required chains. For the 1st row , I love doing this blanket, it's fun , requires some planning which is good for my brain. Relaxes me
Glad it helped!
Hi
Am making it already. My grandchild will love it.
Hope you enjoy
I've just finished watching Season 9 of Call the Midwife!
I watched them all from when it was 1st aired and gosh it brings back lots of memories I was born in 1962
Call the midwife is on bbc I player
I love the look of this blanket and am going to try it in the morning . I learned how to filet crochet a few weeks ago and I need to finish that first just need a boarder.then I will be trying this one
Wonderful! i am doing a block one at the moment one block fillet one is full crochet looks like a checker board, its lovely.
So pretty this stich I will be trying this one have a wonderful day 😊
You have me wanting to run out for baby yarn! If it wasn't so cold out & I'm focusing on Christmas chrochet - I would!! So sweet- I need to make this. The long tail on your chain -- brilliant!
This is a beautiful blanket and I have made a couple so far for friends with babies and they love them so much. Thank you for this pattern 💗
