So simple! Thank you for taking your time to teach others how to do this pattern. I too looked at the written directions & became dizzy with concern if I would ever "figure it out" Then, while scrolling through UA-cam I was happy as I could be as there was my "someday" afghan completed! 😊😊😊 I sat today & watched through the complete video & was so happy! 🎉🎉🎉 I can do that! Thank you for your time, help & patience in teaching others!
I have made this blanket several times and now making it again in a light lilac color. I love your videos. I watch more of yours than any of the ones in the USA where I am. Thank you so much for such amazing videos.
I told my mom I was beginning to make blankets since I began crocheting about 8 years now and she insisted she had to get hers first so I began my search for a pattern that she would really love and I came across your video for the virus pattern (the name name really threw me off btw lol). As I got to round 7 I really caught on once I remembered where my corners and sides are. 2 thumbs to you for this video it was very easy to follow since I am a hands on learner and i love the accent. I have never been so eager and inspired to post my projects in my Facebook group. Wish me luck!!!!
Thank you, Alison! You’re an amazing teacher. I don’t read written patterns well and need a video to help. I was in Scotland earlier this year for our daughter’s wedding to a lovely Scottish fellow. (Came home early due to this Covid mess). Your accent brings back all the memories of the warm Scottish welcome we had. Stay well!
I absolutely 💘 the way you teach. I used to just give up because I couldn't keep up or I didn't understand. Thus I felt stupid. So thank you so very much. You are greatly appreciated!
You got this, have confidence. You can slow videos down there is a settings icon under all youtube videos click on it and click on speed. You might not get sound but you can slow those ones that are too fast for you and see what they are doing.
Good Morning my Wonderful Teacher. Been waiting for you Alison! Praying that you are feeling well. Again, your Regal as EVER! BEAUTIFUL and ELEGANT! So very glad you were placed in my life. I have confidence in myself as I never had before. Thank you beloved. 😘😘😘❤❤❤.
Thank you so much, Roseanne I hope you are well too. Xxxx You can do this have your yarn and hook and crochet along with me. Just pause the video if you need to catch up Xxxx
I have admired this pattern ever since I found your channel+ started learning to crochet, never daring to believe that I'd ever be able to make it. Thanks to your patient tuition, I've just completed a very pretty pink+ white shells baby blanket. You are correct when you tell us that you only do easy patterns..they are easy because you make them easy for us with your amazing talent for teaching. Thank you so much Alison. Stay safe
Thank you so much for such a wonderful pattern and tutorial Alison.You make everything so easy to understand. I have just finished the “ every which way’ blanket following your tutorial. I have wanted to make it for a long time but was scared stiff to try it.Your tutorial was gold and allowed me to finally make it.Made it lap size for my husband and it looks beautiful.Thank you again for your wonderful tutorials.
Hi Alison. As usual, you have surpassed all others. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and patterns with us. Stay Safe. Brightest Blessings.
Thankyou alison for your lovely blanket tutorial you make it so simple do what seems like a complicated pattern easy with the way you explain every thing love this blanket ❤
Oh my word this is just beautiful I started this last night and my grand daughter showed me how to slow the video down, I'm so happy with this as I didnt think I could manage it but I am thank you Alison your a wonderful teacher
I have to say, I used to love, but hate this pattern, simply because I didn't "get" it. You have explained it PERFECTLY, and I can't WAIT to use it. It is simply beautiful, and you've done a fabulous job of explaining and showing me how to make a beautiful blanket. You're a blessing. Thank you, so much!
Alison, thank you for a lovely stitch. I have a great granddaughter that is due in December. I’m am making this blanket in lavender. Thank you for your tutorials, you are a good teacher.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you. Thank you. I’ve made this blanket countless times. It never fails to impress the recipients. You make it so easy to follow along with your video. Keep up the good work and so will we.
Thank you so much for simply explaining how to make a beautiful shell blanket. I'm left handed and found your tutorial so much more easier to follow. Much appreciated. Have a wonderful day x
I finally understand how to do this pattern. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this blanket so thoroughly. I hope to be making one shortly.
Hello Allison, I hope all are well with you and your family in Scotland. I’ve been blessed by watching your tutorial. I’d imagined this to be difficult but, you guide us through every step. Thank you from USA, Chicago.
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I really enjoy how you explain each step so throughly. I bought the pattern for this blanket but you are so much easier to understand. Your voice is so relaxing for me to listen to while learning new patterns. I love crocheting along with you. Thanks again for the wonderful afternoon of crocheting!
I recently bought some yarn at Dollar Tree that has Medium Blue and Medium Purple, Dark Blue and Dark Purple in each skein. It's coming together nicely for a blanket that I'm donating to the people of Louisiana that have lost so much due to the hurricane. I'm going to be Crocheting lots more blankets for them too! God Bless you and your family!!
thank you, dollar tree yarn is amazing value and crochets up well. If you find any a bit rough just put your finished project into the sink with some warn water with a little splash of fabric softener.
Alison, you have helped me to make a family heirloom with this pattern! That is per my sister. Was delighted to see this tutorial pop up again! I fell in love with this blanket when I first saw it last August & decided to make it as an adult afghan. As a wedding gift. Was so excited by the pattern that I didn't stop to think about it being square, not rectangular. So it ended up being a blanket that covered the top of a queen size bed! Was GORGEOUS & the couple agree that it is the nicest gift they received. Thank you Alison for making this beautiful pattern so easy to make!
My friend told me at lunch that her mom is moving in - and the color of the bedroom is a very pale blue - and I said I'd like to make something - she asked for a blanket/afghan large enough to be for comfort while her mom watches tv. I can't believe that I found YOUR pattern - which I like very, very much - and since I'm a fan of her mom's - this is perfect!!! TY so very much!! I will, however, have to purchase more yarn - baby blue and soft.
Alison.... I absolutely love this pattern... and you.... are an amazing teacher.....so well explained... very good camera views on the stitches... wow ... just amazing to follow.... I can’t read patterns so I can only make what I can’t follow in tutorials.... you are so easy to follow... I love ❤️ your accent.... so much... I worked with a woman many years ago from Scotland.... she called herself ...LADYBIRD..... 😂I just LOVE ❤️ listening to you speak....fond memories....thank you oh so much....I will be making this blanket.!!!
My neighbor just did this pattern...I was so surprised to see it was yours !... It's a beautiful piece...I can see using this in a lot of other applications... Thank you...
I like this stitch, I tried it and after a few tries, I got it. It reminds me of the virus stitch in its beauty. I like the fact that this pattern lays flat without blocking. Thank you for sharing it with us.💖💖💖
Beautiful. This is a lot like cakes and candles pattern. I’ve made 3 baby blankets and 1 adult size. With that pattern I’ve had to frog a lot of times. This pattern is easier to follow and I just can’t wait to get started on it. Thank you 😊
I totally agree! I have three baby blankets to make, started first in cakes and candles......but will now make them all with this pattern for a nice change.
Love this blanket. I have completed a plain one and now I am doing a multi coloured one which is looking fabulous. You are an excellent teacher, thank you.
Beautiful blanket !!! Unable to now, saved it for later. Definitely will watch later. Again, very BEAUTIFUL blanket. Thank you so much for sharing !!! 😃😃😃
Me too😁. And yep-they always come out beautiful. (If I may say so myself lol)Another lady's channel I swear the simplest waffle stitch I had to restart like 4 or 5 times!? I just couldn't get the pattern to click. And I've crocheted since junior high school [& I'm 55 yo so it's been a while LOL]. I did get the stitch down and love it...but have never had that with Alison's patterns
Such a lovely stitch and so easy didn't even have to mark the corners. The best way to remember is to only do the seven trebles in the dips, the corners will come easily then.
Yes, janice, everyone remembers a bit diffrent thats a great tip Thank you. My sister needs markers. One of my other sisters is going to start crochet she said she will need big red flags to mark hers. hahahah
Just finished this blanket(s) for our number 5 and number 6 grand babies both coming 3 months apart!! So beautiful thank you Allison! Love all your tutorials..
Hi Alison gosh listening to you reminds me of my granny who came from Montrose she taught me to crochet many many years ago when i was 9 I'm 65 now and live in NZ so it was lovely to hear you Scottish voice. Enjoyed your video and look forward to learning more things many thanks again :D
Thank you so very much for explaining in such a clear and concise way. Reading patterns can get very complicated but you make me feel confident to give it a go. Thank you again x
Thank you so much Alison. This was so easy to follow along with you and I'm thoroughly enjoying making this beautiful blanket in blue for my new Grandson. I've also had request for a pink one from my friend. Love your videos, they fair cheer me up during this uncertain time. J :)
You are so welcome! Jane I will keep the ideas comming as I have had lots of yarn donated to me recently. (hopefully by the end of the month I will be recoverd from the hefty vet bills for my cat, so glad they are letting me pay it up in instalments. it still makes a big dent in monthly retirement payment) Anyway I have lots of ideas to keep us occupied.
Thanks again Alison for yet another beautiful project. I will be trying thus pretty pattern. You are so inspirational, i’m learning a lot from your tutorial’s. I have amazed myself for patterns I didn’t know I could do. Thank you.
Either nobody is a nobody, or we are all nobodies. With Alison's encouraging guidance, I think we can all be somebodies. Right up there with Emily Dickinson.
Thanks for taking the time to teach us all how to do this I myself really love it as I can't read a pattern and finding you is fantastic. Cheers From Australia xxxx
I have been able to knot since I was a little girl, but I have never been able to grasp crochet.......until I came across your tutorials. I started this blanket last night and I'm 6 rounds in so far. Your tutorials are really easy to follow. Thank you so much x
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am at good intermediate-level crocheting but have never seen or made this pattern before now. But I was looking for a beautiful pattern to do with a limited amount of yarn that I had and came across this and didn't even look any further! Your explanation tickled me and made it fun! I'm in Arkansas in the US and the way you made sure we were doing the correct stitches for our country was awesome and tickled me with how many times you said fan, shell, and cluster! Now...just got to keep going to get to baby blanket size! Thank you again! This will be a beautiful heirloom for my grandbabies! (Got #5 due on March 24, 2023) and I'm so excited to finish!
I've just purchased the same lovely blue wool (red heart soft baby steps) that you have used for your latest blanket. You are an inspiration Alison. Love your tutorials - thank you so much. Jane x
@@Scorpio_Love_11 If you think that a purple and yellow combination looks more like an Easter egg, try including a rusty Orange. Along with a little white or cream, it really grounds the colors !!!
I love that you do blankets like me!! And you are so easy to follow for a beginner that’s so important that you don’t assume I already know the stitches!!
I love your work Alison. Every time I see a new blanket I think I'll make that, then that one, then another one of yours. When I finish what I am doing at the moment I want to start this one. Our church craft group crochet baby blankets for an organisation who helps single mums and their babies, both before and after the babies are born. This would be so beautiful to make and give to them. Thank you.
I’ve recently returned to crochet, haven’t done it for 40 years, this is by far the best video I have found. It looks really complicated but I was very surprised at how easy it is once you learn the pattern. I am using various colours of cotton yarn, it’s lovely and soft. I could listen to your voice all day😂 thanks for all you do, best wishes from Kay in Australia!
Wow, thank you! Hi Kay I do try and do easy stitches even those that look complicated are usually easy too. Have a look at my many other tutorials in my video section on my home page. There are lots of arts and crafts videos too.
This is a beautiful stitch.I started a blanket tonight with some soft,fuzzy yarn that is perfect for this..thank you for the detailed tutorial.hugs from Milwaukee. USA.❣🧶🤗
I have been crocheting for over 50 years, but finding your tutorials has been a Godsend! So many patterns you have! Thank you for them all. I crotchet at your speed, which has made it easier to keep up, but I admit I still rewind to reinforce myself with the stitch. Loving your channel Alison!
Beautifully walked me through this stitch, thank you so much! I love your videos they are always very clear and easy to follow. I’m going to make this blanket now lol thanks again x
I am making a blanket like this for my new grandson...thank you for sharing this pattern with us...have a GREAT day ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ I failed to mention how much I appreciate how thorough you are at teaching us the pattern...you explain everything so well 🙂
I've been doing this one over the past week in white. 20 rounds in and still have 3 more 100g of yarn to use .its really easy. I only started crochet in March
How many did it take you of balls yarn to do 20? I was going to make another one bigger for my daughter but i don't have any more than 3 balls the same in a colour that she wants, white or purple she said... oh aye like I can magic purple out of white hahahah
@@angelagosling7890 I am taught through only UA-cam. Crocheting in the round was my nightmare at first. I lived with videos on pause while looking at my work saying this doesn't make ANY sense! 😂😂 and oh my gosh the magic ring too!! I'm 3 years in now and can do just about anything. Keep practicing! Keep making things! It's so worth it. The first blankets I made I donated to a dog shelter. I figured the dogs didnt mind that the sides looked like ocean waves they were so uneven lol
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel I have a few rush orders for baby blankets for showers coming up - this is absolutely perfect - thank you again, Alison!
Alison, you were right! I love this pattern. I’ve made a pink baby blanket and today I’ve started another one in a shiny off white color. It finishes up so pretty and elegant!
Love your channel, and your enthusiasm is so easy to catch, Alison. After seeing this blanket I know what I’m going to do with the five hanks of natural Merino yarn I just got. Not for the dye pot! It’s a lovely, soft cream colour, like fresh churned butter. Tell me that won’t work up nicely into this pattern!
I made this with three colors changing colors after each cluster row. It is beautiful. I wish I could add a picture. You did an excellent job teaching this pattern. Thank you!!!!
I wanted to learn a new crochet stitch and I have been able to do so because you are such a good teacher. Patterns are too confusing but watching your video makes it much easier. Thank you.
Agreed-love her, love the way you explain as you go!😁 I have always thought that these blankets look complicated, until watching & listening to your tutorial! I will definitely be making this for my friend's daughter/granddaughter due in June❤(and coincidently I plan to make it in white🤩😊. As you commented toward the end of your video)
Than you Alison long time no see I had so many problems with my house after seven months I am back still not in my house in flatlet under my house. Now I saw the his blanket and fell in love and you are such a good teacher in the new year I am going to try it. Merry Christmas to you and you family and a wonderful new year
hi Alison I have just started doing this blanket in 4ply yarn white with a shimmer in it and it is turning out lovely thank you for giving such a clear and easy to follow instructions you explain what looks like a hard pattern very easy will be making more of these and will look out for more of your videos thanks again Alison a great teacher.
Well you've done it again Alison!! you have made this so easy to do I ❤ it. I'm doing this pattern with a 400grm Aran chunky in cream from good old Aldi I bought last yr with a size 5mm hook!! Its fab so thanx for sharing hun. Be safe and enjoy the wkend 😊🌺
Wonderful! I have a ball of red from aldi and a lady donated me some last week from aldi. I have done a virus blanket video which i will upload on Monday.
Allison, I love following you. I love your accent and how you explain the stitches so those of us from the USA can follow you with no problems. May God Bless you and thanks for sharing your wonderful patterns. I am making this blanket in pink as my apartment manager is having a little girl.
I love this pattern. I will stop the video to make sure I do every stitch correctly. I am subscribed. I enjoy your videos tremendously. Have a great day.
I am loving this blanket i brought myself Elements Panoramic DK yarn and now on my 22nd round its so beautiful colours are brilliant in this yarn...Dont know why but the pattern i can follow without looking at the video BUT i cant remember how the round starts on either row i have to keep going back to see what you do, it must be old age creeping in.Thank you Alison for this pattern....
Alison I just found your channel I'm so grateful. I am unable to read a written pattern due to a learning disability and I need visual to learn (anything), The way you explain and your patience is very much appreciated. Thank you from all the way from San Diego, California
Thank you so much for posting this pattern and tutorial! I've made several baby blankets and just love the way it works up. I'm currently working on a larger afghan for myself and decided to play around with some color - changing colors every round but carrying the previous color up to avoid working in a bunch of ends. I love the way its coming out
Alison. I have been crocheting along with you, step by step, with some odd yarn. I can say with your help and excellent video. I have learnt to do this one as well. I am going to change colours every 2 rounds, to make my friend another baby blanket. Thank you again, for the excellent video. I love crocheting in a round.
Thank you for this video. I love, love, love this blanket and the way you explain the pattern. I'm half way through my first one and will certainly be making others :)
You have helped me relearn crochet. A friend taught me years ago but if you don't use this skill you forget it. These are great tutorials. I really wish the UK and US would have the same stitch names.
Beautiful job you doing of Joanna Martinez shell blanket from 3 years ago....I love it though. Been doing this blanket for the past 2 years. It sure is a beautiful blanket in any color 😅😅you are absolutely right, it's an old but beautiful pattern. No punts intended🤗😃
Sometimes I love a pattern but for whatever reason, I can’t easily follow that particular UA-camr. So I’m glad there are often different videos of the same pattern, and thrilled when I find one that works for me! I thank all you wonderful crochet teachers out there for sharing your talents and the considerable time these videos must take. Without it, I’d never have learned to crochet.
I have the same problem sometime too Lauren, what I do is go on youtube and type in the name of the crochet(if the UA-camr list it) in the search engine to see if other UA-camrs are doing the same pattern. If none comes up, then I figure out what it would be called from the design or what the person call the stitches they are doing. That usually works.... hope that helps..happy hooking🤗😅stay safe
Thank you! So much. Your such a wonderful teacher. Clear instructions are so appreciated. I love this pattern and was 😊 Happy to have a GREAT! Teacher! Looking forward to seeing more from you.
So simple! Thank you for taking your time to teach others how to do this pattern. I too looked at the written directions & became dizzy with concern if I would ever "figure it out" Then, while scrolling through UA-cam I was happy as I could be as there was my "someday" afghan completed! 😊😊😊 I sat today & watched through the complete video & was so happy! 🎉🎉🎉 I can do that!

Great job! and well done, Donna I have another like this with a little twist to it. You will love it.
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel I just got done with my 3rd virus blanket. I would love to know about the other one you mentioned.

Thank you so much Alison. This was so easy to follow along with you and I'm thoroughly enjoying making this beautiful blanket in blue for my new Grandson. I've also had request for a pink one from my friend. Love your videos, they fair cheer me up during this uncertain time. J :)
You are so welcome! Jane I will keep the ideas comming as I have had lots of yarn donated to me recently. (hopefully by the end of the month I will be recoverd from the hefty vet bills for my cat, so glad they are letting me pay it up in instalments. it still makes a big dent in monthly retirement payment) Anyway I have lots of ideas to keep us occupied.
Thank you very much for your great tutorial, Im new to crochet and xould easily follow along
You’re welcome 😊
Your tutorials are so clear and beautifully presented. I love your lyrical voice! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful designs!
Thank you so much!
Thanks again Alison for yet another beautiful project. I will be trying thus pretty pattern. You are so inspirational, i’m learning a lot from your tutorial’s. I have amazed myself for patterns I didn’t know I could do. Thank you.
Have fun! and well done Xxxx keep at it I have every faith you can do it Xxx
I just absolutely love her and her patterns. They are beautiful and she explains everything.
Thank you so much xxx
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel no problem ma'am.
Love this pattern, thank you 💐
Either nobody is a nobody, or we are all nobodies. With Alison's encouraging guidance, I think we can all be somebodies. Right up there with Emily Dickinson.
Thanks for taking the time to teach us all how to do this I myself really love it as I can't read a pattern and finding you is fantastic. Cheers From Australia xxxx
I have been able to knot since I was a little girl, but I have never been able to grasp crochet.......until I came across your tutorials. I started this blanket last night and I'm 6 rounds in so far. Your tutorials are really easy to follow. Thank you so much x
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am at good intermediate-level crocheting but have never seen or made this pattern before now. But I was looking for a beautiful pattern to do with a limited amount of yarn that I had and came across this and didn't even look any further! Your explanation tickled me and made it fun! I'm in Arkansas in the US and the way you made sure we were doing the correct stitches for our country was awesome and tickled me with how many times you said fan, shell, and cluster! Now...just got to keep going to get to baby blanket size! Thank you again! This will be a beautiful heirloom for my grandbabies! (Got #5 due on March 24, 2023) and I'm so excited to finish!
I've just purchased the same lovely blue wool (red heart soft baby steps) that you have used for your latest blanket. You are an inspiration Alison. Love your tutorials - thank you so much. Jane x
I love that yarn. I have some in lemon and a green hahah and 1 purple I don't know how I just got 1 purple hahahah I've had it for a while.
Alison Russell's Crochet and Craft Channel that would be beautiful purple and yellow are my favorite colors
@@Scorpio_Love_11 If you think that a purple and yellow combination looks more like an Easter egg, try including a rusty Orange. Along with a little white or cream, it really grounds the colors !!!
I love that you do blankets like me!! And you are so easy to follow for a beginner that’s so important that you don’t assume I already know the stitches!!
You are so welcome!
Love the Blanket and the Way You Explane Everything 🤩🤩🤩 Thank You for a Great Tutorial 🌹
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for showing this beautiful pattern. I feel very lucky to have clicked on this one.
Thank you. So happy to hear your voice and learn new patterns.
You are a great teacher keep going we need your videos thank you so much God bless 💖💖💖💖💖
You are so welcome
So beautiful art
im new to crocheting and i just jumped into this and its going great. Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
I love your work Alison. Every time I see a new blanket I think I'll make that, then that one, then another one of yours. When I finish what I am doing at the moment I want to start this one. Our church craft group crochet baby blankets for an organisation who helps single mums and their babies, both before and after the babies are born. This would be so beautiful to make and give to them. Thank you.
It truly would and you are doing a wonderful thing and it will be well appreciated by the mums Xxxx
I’ve recently returned to crochet, haven’t done it for 40 years, this is by far the best video I have found. It looks really complicated but I was very surprised at how easy it is once you learn the pattern. I am using various colours of cotton yarn, it’s lovely and soft. I could listen to your voice all day😂 thanks for all you do, best wishes from Kay in Australia!
Wow, thank you! Hi Kay I do try and do easy stitches even those that look complicated are usually easy too. Have a look at my many other tutorials in my video section on my home page. There are lots of arts and crafts videos too.
This is a beautiful stitch.I started a blanket tonight with some soft,fuzzy yarn that is perfect for this..thank you for the detailed tutorial.hugs from Milwaukee. USA.❣🧶🤗
You are so welcome!
I have been crocheting for over 50 years, but finding your tutorials has been a Godsend! So many patterns you have! Thank you for them all. I crotchet at your speed, which has made it easier to keep up, but I admit I still rewind to reinforce myself with the stitch. Loving your channel Alison!
Thank you so much!
Beautifully walked me through this stitch, thank you so much! I love your videos they are always very clear and easy to follow. I’m going to make this blanket now lol thanks again x
You are so welcome!
I am making a blanket like this for my new grandson...thank you for sharing this pattern with us...have a GREAT day ☀️ ☀️ ☀️
I failed to mention how much I appreciate how thorough you are at teaching us the pattern...you explain everything so well 🙂
You’re welcome 😊
Gorgeous!
I've been doing this one over the past week in white. 20 rounds in and still have 3 more 100g of yarn to use .its really easy. I only started crochet in March
I was thinking of doing this in white also. There are so many different whites to choose from any suggestions. TIA
How many did it take you of balls yarn to do 20? I was going to make another one bigger for my daughter but i don't have any more than 3 balls the same in a colour that she wants, white or purple she said... oh aye like I can magic purple out of white hahahah
Gorgeous will be giving this a go and the pause button really helps Allison you have no idea how often I do use it lol 😂
I started crocheting in March this year too! I have to take it very slowly and the pause button does really help!
@@angelagosling7890 I am taught through only UA-cam. Crocheting in the round was my nightmare at first. I lived with videos on pause while looking at my work saying this doesn't make ANY sense! 😂😂 and oh my gosh the magic ring too!! I'm 3 years in now and can do just about anything. Keep practicing! Keep making things! It's so worth it. The first blankets I made I donated to a dog shelter. I figured the dogs didnt mind that the sides looked like ocean waves they were so uneven lol
Thank you so much, Alison - I've been trying to learn how to do this blanket for a while now; your tutorial is the only one that made sense to me!
Glad it was helpful!
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel I have a few rush orders for baby blankets for showers coming up - this is absolutely perfect - thank you again, Alison!
Alison, you were right! I love this pattern. I’ve made a pink baby blanket and today I’ve started another one in a shiny off white color. It finishes up so pretty and elegant!
well done, so glad it was helpful
This is really beautiful. I tried in sky blue and it turned out very beautiful. Enjoyed making it. Thanks for sharing
well done and thank you
Thank you so much for your tutorial...... Great Tutorial x
Love your channel, and your enthusiasm is so easy to catch, Alison. After seeing this blanket I know what I’m going to do with the five hanks of natural Merino yarn I just got. Not for the dye pot! It’s a lovely, soft cream colour, like fresh churned butter. Tell me that won’t work up nicely into this pattern!
Oh it will be amazing and so soft too, Gregory. Hopr you show it to me when finished Xxxx
I made this with three colors changing colors after each cluster row. It is beautiful. I wish I could add a picture. You did an excellent job teaching this pattern. Thank you!!!!
Wonderful!
Hallo Allison, wonderful tutorial and project as always 😊. Thank you 😘
Thank you so much!
I wanted to learn a new crochet stitch and I have been able to do so because you are such a good teacher. Patterns are too confusing but watching your video makes it much easier. Thank you.
Thank you very much from Kuwait 🇰🇼🇰🇼
You are welcome
Thankyou so much for explaining so good will be following you a lot wonderful
Agreed-love her, love the way you explain as you go!😁 I have always thought that these blankets look complicated, until watching & listening to your tutorial! I will definitely be making this for my friend's daughter/granddaughter due in June❤(and coincidently I plan to make it in white🤩😊. As you commented toward the end of your video)
You are so welcome!

@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel do you have the link for the Virus Blanket please?
Allison, I love following you. I love your accent and how you explain the stitches so those of us from the USA can follow you with no problems. May God Bless you and thanks for sharing your wonderful patterns. I am making this blanket in pink as my apartment manager is having a little girl.
Watching this on the tv screen, hubby says it’s better than the movies lol. I think you won him with your accent and warm manner x
hahah tell him thank you and I will be honoured to attend the Oscars for my award hahahah
I made this blanket in early spring and I just now gave it away to a brand-new baby. It's a beautiful stitch.
Wonderful!
I love this pattern. I will stop the video to make sure I do every stitch correctly. I am subscribed. I enjoy your videos tremendously. Have a great day.
Thanks for subbing!
I am loving this blanket i brought myself Elements Panoramic DK yarn and now on my 22nd round its so beautiful colours are brilliant in this yarn...Dont know why but the pattern i can follow without looking at the video BUT i cant remember how the round starts on either row i have to keep going back to see what you do, it must be old age creeping in.Thank you Alison for this pattern....
Alison I just found your channel I'm so grateful. I am unable to read a written pattern due to a learning disability and I need visual to learn (anything), The way you explain and your patience is very much appreciated. Thank you from all the way from San Diego, California
you are so welcome, Cindy, glad I was able to help you. have fun with all the other blankets Xxx
Thank you so much for posting this pattern and tutorial! I've made several baby blankets and just love the way it works up. I'm currently working on a larger afghan for myself and decided to play around with some color - changing colors every round but carrying the previous color up to avoid working in a bunch of ends. I love the way its coming out
Alison. I have been crocheting along with you, step by step, with some odd yarn. I can say with your help and excellent video. I have learnt to do this one as well. I am going to change colours every 2 rounds, to make my friend another baby blanket. Thank you again, for the excellent video. I love crocheting in a round.
You are so welcome! thank you for following my channel I appreciate it.
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel Welcome anytime.
Thank you for this video. I love, love, love this blanket and the way you explain the pattern. I'm half way through my first one and will certainly be making others :)
You have helped me relearn crochet. A friend taught me years ago but if you don't use this skill you forget it. These are great tutorials.
I really wish the UK and US would have the same stitch names.
Very good teacher. Love this pattern. Thankyou for translation for us USA watchers.
Thank you so much. This tutorial is really good - made it so easy to learn. What a lovely pattern. Heather
Beautiful job you doing of Joanna Martinez shell blanket from 3 years ago....I love it though. Been doing this blanket for the past 2 years. It sure is a beautiful blanket in any color 😅😅you are absolutely right, it's an old but beautiful pattern. No punts intended🤗😃
I saw it on all crafts channel from 8 years ago. This pattern has been around a long time. Joannas channel is amazing isn't it Xxxx
Sure is amazing.
Sometimes I love a pattern but for whatever reason, I can’t easily follow that particular UA-camr. So I’m glad there are often different videos of the same pattern, and thrilled when I find one that works for me! I thank all you wonderful crochet teachers out there for sharing your talents and the considerable time these videos must take. Without it, I’d never have learned to crochet.
I have the same problem sometime too Lauren, what I do is go on youtube and type in the name of the crochet(if the UA-camr list it) in the search engine to see if other UA-camrs are doing the same pattern. If none comes up, then I figure out what it would be called from the design or what the person call the stitches they are doing. That usually works.... hope that helps..happy hooking🤗😅stay safe
Thank you! So much. Your such a wonderful teacher. Clear instructions are so appreciated. I love this pattern and was 😊 Happy to have a GREAT! Teacher! Looking forward to seeing more from you.
You were right, do one then you do another😊 Thank you Allison, I really love your work!
You're so welcome!
