Oh my goodness! What a beautiful blanket! I love it! I also love the way you do your tutorials. Not too long and drawn out like some of them are but, slow enough to teach the stitch and move on! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work! 💕
I’m so happy you liked this tutorial! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

This looks gorgeous, and it has the added advantage of being rectangular. I’m looking for a virus pattern for an afghan for Mt friend’s daughter, and I think I’ve found it. Can’t wait to start.
Beautiful pattern for tablecloth. Well understood instructions.
You are a gifted teacher by the way. Your tutorials are perfectly presented!
Great instructions - thank you! I bought the pattern. I can't wait to make this.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for purchasing the pattern. Please let me know if you have any questions as you go. You can personal message me on my Etsy shop or Facebook page.

Thank you so much. I’m really happy you like this pattern. Thank you for watching and commenting 💞
I love it. It’ll be on my list to do. Thank you.
My God you teach so well God bless you always sister
This is beautiful. I can't read patterns so I truly appreciate tutorials. I started this one and made it to starting the shells when I realized base 6 count in corners was off. I frogged it. My question is; the rectangle virus blanket the same as this one? That one seems easier for me to follow.
Thank you so much.
Sorry about the long post.
My counts on starting round 7 which is the start of shells was off as well. May I ask how you corrected it please?
@Karon Hall If you did what I did, then you just did an extra row or two.
The first couple of rounds are not done the same way rows 4 and up are.
I just had to pull out a round, and then I had the right number of blocks on the end.
Hopefully this is an easy fix for you also.
And you just counted the blocks going to the edge from the middle, and had 6 "rows", but in reality that's 7 rounds.
If I'm making any sense.
I'm sorry if I didn't explain this well.
Goodluck!
Because this exact issue, is the reason why I have tried this exact blanket and video for years. And this is the reason I have yet to get to row 7.
Which has made me extremely sad. I love this blanket.
This is so much fun to make and looks very pretty too 😊
I’m so happy you like this pattern! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Oh my goodness! That is such a lovely pattern! It's beautiful! Thank you for sharing Jonna!
Thank you for watching and commenting ❤️
Beautiful...thanks for the wonderful design and such a well made tutorial. Hope I can make it too 😊
I hope you can too! Thank you for watching and commenting.
I used a 5.5mm hook instead of the 4.25 hook called for in the pattern. I found that I needed to use 7 chains instead of 5 in the "Valley Loopy" rounds for the blanket to lay flat when putting in the DC rows. still a beautiful pattern, and I LOVE it!!!
I’m happy you found what works for you! Everyone crochets differently so adding a couple chains or switching out a hook is very normal with many patterns. I’m happy you’re enjoying it.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
I am enjoying making this. Thanks for the tutorial 😊
Wonderful! Thank you for watching!
@8:56 I see 4 blocks (4 sets of 3)..with 3 spaces. I found this part of the written pattern a tad confusing. Thank you for the video.
Beautiful pattern and tutorial, I loved it. I can't wait to start mine. Thank you so much
If you hit the screen at the top right or somewhere is a gear to slow down video. On mine it is the top right and a menu screen pops up go to playback and slow the video down. It helps
Would make an amazing placemat! What multiple does this work with?
Beautiful. I love it. It’ll be on my list to do. Thank you.
Wonderful! Have fun making this blanket! Thank you for watching and commenting.

Beautiful, my next shawl
Que maravilha! Parabéns pelo trabalho e por compartilhar 😍.
Não tem trabalhos com esse ponto retangular! 🥰 🇧🇷
Love this it will be my next project.
That’s great! ❤️
How long will this be? I need something that’s going to be 6 feet long to cover my husband who has terminal cancer and goes from the bed to the couch and is laying all the time.
She never answered? Boo
Absolutely beautiful 😍
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hii mam this is lovely design I m making this but unable to understand how many 5 chains r there @13.00 it is little confusing
Hi Jonna , Help! when I have the correct number of holes and blocks at the end of base 6, and I start the first loop round at a corner of the long side, with the ch5,sc,ch3,sc,ch3,sc,ch3,sc ,ch5 miss 2 blocks and then I go on and repeat the pattern, I end up with a block short before the corner. I don’t know how I’m managing this cos I have the correct number of blocks and holes at the end of base 6. Can you help please?
Excellent! As always 🙏
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Awesome work
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I love your work! ❤️😊
I’m so happy to hear it! Thank you for watching ❤️
What do I do wrong. When I done the square in the middle, And I am suppose to start on the German shell. I start in the corner with 5 and then skip one block End to 3 with 3 blocks and then 5 2 Block 3 1 block 3 1 block 3 1 blog 5 2 Block and repeat . I keep finishing in the opposite corner when you are finishing one block before the corner.
Hi Jonna, I was curious as to why after completing round six one side has six rows and the other side has five is that normal?
Could I use this pattern for a table runner in a fingering weight yarn?
Is it possible to do a rectangle blanket like this but starting with the middle as a circle like the square one?
Hi mam.. can you suggest how many chains to begin with, if I need to make placemat using this pattern? Is there any formula like multiple of 6 or something..it would be really helpful
You do such beautiful work 💜
Thank you so much!
beautiful pattern by the way
Thank you so much!
I’m trying to use this pattern for placement any suggestions?
What is the length and width of the blanket made in the tutorial? I understand it's the smallest but I would like to know the dimensions please. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Very nice 👍
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great
Thank you for watching and commenting! ❤️
The shortest one? & What measurement is this shortest one? I'm wanting to make a table cloth but have no idea how big this pattern is
So pretty. The multiple is any number of even stitches?
I don’t have the multiples for this. I do have other lengths you can make using my written pattern available on Etsy or ravelry. Thank you for watching!
Awesome, thank you
Thank you for watching and commenting!
To make this lovely blanket larger or shawl length do you just go up in a series of 10 stitches plus 6?
My written pattern includes two other lengths. Maybe one of those will work for you. Thank you for watching and commenting.
hi i have started making this blanket.i have a problem that on one side it has come to 6 rows and on the other its 5 rows due to which i cannot start the loop round.i dont know where i have gone wrong..can u help plz?
Muito lindo.
I am a new crochet beginner would like a pattern for a one piece oval crochet table cloth.
Wow it looks amazing😍
So happy you like it! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Would this work for a shawl? I’m looking for a prayer shawl for my momma who’s fighting cancer. Just not sure how it would work out in the end shape wise?
She has a tutorial for the virus shawl on her channel ua-cam.com/video/bj4rCPmXY6k/v-deo.html
I’m wondering how much yarn would it take to get a 50x70 throw
could someone please tell me what the base count is at the end of base row 6. I don't know what it is I'm doing wrong. I have 20, and that will not work out. I have tried 4 times now and at this point I give up. I made on blanket it was fine, started to make another and I can't get it to work. Thanks
Row 1. 20 blocks
Row 2. 44 blocks
Row 3. 48 blocks
Row 4. 52 blocks
Row 5. 56 blocks
Row 6. 60 blocks
Hopefully this helps!
Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you got to make a blanket already!
@@JonnaMartinezCrochet Thank you so much for the block count, Had to start over to make the first row 20 count, it was coming up 19 for some reason. I got it this time. (: It does help at times if you give row counts. Thanks again!
Absolutely!
At the end of base row 6 you state and show only 3 blocks, but I have 5, which one is correct?
3 blocks
Very pretty 👌😍
Thank you for watching and commenting! I’m very happy you liked it Joyce Kumar.
Would make a lovely table cloth
Yes! I thank you for watching and commenting!
Çok kolay ve çok zevkli❤ Basit anlatım için teşekkürler şu an yapmaya başladım bile ❤
love this!! trying to figure out how to make it in a prayer shawl of 24x60??? I do them for the church. will have to think about this one. Do you think it is possible??
Did you make it work??
You said at the end of base round 6 there should be 3 single spaces on the narrow end but you have 4? I bought the pattern to see if it was different but it also says 3 but when you blow up the picture there is 4? Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
There are 3. Not counting the blocks to the corners.
If you bought the pattern on Ravelry message me on my Facebook page I can help you better if i can see your work. If you bought it on Etsy message me there. With photos.
Thank you for watching and purchasing my pattern!
Hi Jonna, love your work! I’m considering buying your pattern on Ravelry today. Just curious what the measurements are for the blanket you show here. Thanks!
Hello Marina!
Absolutely! This example is 46x29 but will grow much bigger.
This pattern comes in 3 starting lengths so you can chose the one you like best.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
thank you for watching and commenting!
Could you please teach the big sizes
How do I order this pattern from you? It is beautiful.
You can find this pattern on Etsy or Ravelry. Links in the description box of this video. Look for a drop down arrow on the right of the screen or a SHOW MORE.
Thank you for watching and commenting 💕
So......how do you end row 3?????
Could you please tell me the multiples so I can change the size of the blanket. Thanks.
My written pattern has 3 sizes provided.
If you are looking for another size, after you get the pattern I can help you with that.
Thank you for watching.
Love it!!

I am making my first virus blanket and doing the rectangular one. I used the hobby lobby I Love this Yarn and using the g hook. I was getting a lot of ruffling so on the 15th row I switched to a h hook., still getting some ruffling---is this a normal thing with this virus pattern?
Yes very normal. It’s lacy, so will ruffle some. Keep flattening it out and make sure you only have double ch 5’s in the corners. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I’m so upset. I just finished the valley loopy round but don’t know how to proceed from here and you’re just saying to repeat a different round but I don’t recall ever starting from a valley loopy so now I don’t understand how to proceed
After that round comes the round you place 10dc into each ch 5 loop, and 2 chain 3’s over the 3 ch 3’s.
(1st dc round)
I can help more if you send photos to my Facebook or Etsy page messages.
I love your design but how can I make the base smaller? I am using thread to make it a doily. Chain of 66 is making it to long. Please help!
Check out my baby sized blanket tutorial: how to crochet a rectangle virus blanket.
It is yellow and pink on the cover photo. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I found the video. There is no way to just change the size. Or is the only way to make it smaller the blanket video?
I do not have a magic number to make this blanket any size.
To even get the sizes I have I take a paper and pen and draw each stitch and figure out what works then I write the pattern. It takes a lot of time.
I'm working on the chain 66 version. I followed the written pattern and always ended up with too many blocks across the narrow end. Frogged 2x and decided to follow video and again I have, not counting the corner blocks, 4 blocks and 3 spaces on the narrow end and 24 blocks on the long sides
hi Elizabeth, please send me photos of your work to Etsy messages or Facebook messages. i can help you figure out what’s not working.
Thank you for your order and watching. Talk to you soon.
If you did what I did, then you just did an extra row or two.
The first couple of rounds are not done the same way rows 4 and up are.
I just had to pull out a round, and then I had the right number of blocks on the end.
Hopefully this is an easy fix for you also.
And you just counted the blocks going to the edge from the middle, and had 6 "rows", but in reality that's 7 rounds.
If I'm making any sense.
I'm sorry if I didn't explain this well.
Goodluck!
Because this exact issue, is the reason why I have tried this exact blanket and video for years. And this is the reason I have yet to get to row 7.
Jacqueline, I’d be happy to help you with your blanket. You can message me with photos that are laying flat and in good lighting so I can count stitches to my Facebook page or Etsy shop. Thank you for watching!
@Jonna Martinez thank you!
I'm really hoping this is the mistake I was making. I'm actually in the process of starting the blanket I had abandoned months ago, because I finally have the right number of blocks at the narrow end.
But I had about 3 rows to many. But if I didn't fix my problem, I will definitely be msging you for help.
Just so I know, what are the numbers of blocks I should have down the long edge?
I have the right number of blocks at the narrow end. But maybe this isn't the fix I thought I needed to keep going.
Many people don’t realize you do not count the blocks that make the corners. You should have 3 single blocks at the short ends.
Do you Nick this would fit a car seat blanket or baby Moses basket x
Yes, but I think I would do it in a baby weight yarn and F 3.75mm hook so I could add rows to adjust the size more accurately. Thank you for watching and commenting.
How do you make this project longer? Thanks
My written pattern has a longer size.
Etsy or Ravelry.

Thank you for watching and commenting!
I need the long version of this beautiful pattern please
All three are in my written pattern on Etsy or Ravelry! On Etsy it’s JonnaMartinezCrochet . Thank you for watching and commenting!
Por favor esplique y teja más despacio para poder entender como seguir el patrón del tejido para poder hacerlo exactamente como debe. Gracias.
I love this pattern. I’m having trouble on the long side having it come out even. I start out with the Chain 5 skip first block, chain 3 skip 1 block 3 times, chain 5 skip 2 blocks, etc. I get to the end of the long side and am 1 block shy before the last chain 5. What am I doing wrong?
Do you have a total of 5 blocks at the short end? (3 singles and then the corner blocks)
Jonna Martinez yes
I have 24 blocks on the long side.
Do you have an answer for me?
Hello Deb sorry for the delay. Thank you for commenting again to remind me. You’ve picked up an extra block on the long sides. You should only have 23 blocks. If you’d like extra help please message me on my Facebook page or Etsy shop so we can exchange photos. This way I can help better.
What happened to the sound at 9:37 minutes into the tutorial?
May i know what is the initial chain for the large size?
Thank you for this project :)
All the chain sizes are in my written pattern on Etsy or Ravelry. Etsy shop is : JonnaMartinezCrochet. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Is the way you begin the granny base the only way it can be done?
So far that’s what I’ve got. Always coming up with new stuff though so keep checking back!
Could this be a shawl too?
Yes!

Can I make a table runner with this pattern
Yes depending on the length of the table. The longest one in my written pattern might be just right. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Is this different from your other rectangle virus blanket tutorial? That one started with a base chain of 21
Yes it is. Much longer. This one is a true rectangle. The other is just slightly longer than wide. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Jonna Martinez cool. Thank you. I was confused for a minute. I’m making the rectangle virus shawl, the one with 21, chains, for a friend’s baby
That will be perfect for a baby! ❤️
Jonna Martinez ❤️ I’ve made the square virus blankets in the past, and she requested a rectangle blanket. Plus, these blankets work up really fast. I want to get it done, washed, blacked and wrapped, so I’m not worried about it later. She’s due in October.
That’s a great plan!
can you please state whether wool is 4ply or 8ply etc.
You can use either with this pattern but I believe this would be 8-10ply. Thank you for watching and commenting!
How do I get the biggest size of this blanket? Plz & ty.
etsy.me/325WVU6
Thank you for watching and commenting.
I really like your pattern for a doily.. maybe like a runner..
how many blocks should be along the ch66
I count 20 blocks and 3 chain/1 DC at beginning and end or row 1.
66 - 5 skipped = 61. 61 ÷ 3 (1 3xDC, 2 skipped) = 20 blocks plus 1 chain. The final chain is where a single DC is done before commencing the end section. I got to beginning of virus before I knew I had got the first row wrong. Not happy!
Using gorgeous yarn but it is terrible for counting chains in that first row. I knew I should do my maths but didn't and had to unpick all that work.
I wish you could make this as a placemat for table iam going to subscribe to your channel I have been looking for a pattern that looks like this with thread yarn for years it looks like you could figure it out I don’t think I could make it smaller with thread but would love it I need to make 5 I need them for coffee table and end table thank you so much 😊
I’m on a brake right now but placemats is on my list. Thank you for watching and commenting ❤️
Ficou swou esse tapete a cor cinza pena que eu n falo inglês n entendo nada que vc fala deveria ter um tradutor moro no brasil
What are the multiples?
I would give them if I had them. I’ve never worked it out. I make all my German shells virus patterns by drawing each stitch out on paper with a pencil.
My written pattern has 3 lengths you can work with. And can come up with more lengths from those I’m sure. Thank you for watching and commenting.
