Thank you! Glad to hear it’s working out ok. (I’m always worried about it when I film 😅)

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 😊

That’s wonderful! I’m so glad it helped! Thank you 😊

Thank you! 😊 That is weird. I always had trouble with corners, so I figured other people might too. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you 😊

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you! 😊

My pleasure! Thank YOU!

Thank you! 😊

Hi Judy! Congratulations on the new grandbaby! 🎉 For a basket weave blanket, I’d opt for a simple border. This way, the focus stays on the main blanket stitch. I’ve used a single crochet border in the past (also for a basket weave), and it looked great! I made it about 2 inches wide. Happy crocheting!

Obrigada 😊

Nice! Thank you for sharing 🙂

Thank you! I don’t. There is something off in the stitch count for that pattern and i’ve yet to locate where. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@ModeBespokeThank you for your reply🙂 I looked at the picture of the heart itself & maybe I can work from that sometime (really must finish WIPs first!! Best wishes j c

Thank you! Well, I’ve got a baby niece arriving in Dec, and I’d been wondering what to make her. Now, thanks to you 🙏🏼, I’ll be making her a hearts blanket 😊 I think I’ll just rework the pattern and make it square tiles and go from there 🤔 Anyway, look out for that tutorial bc I will be making one before Dec. Thank you so much!

Fantastic MB I also look fwd to the tiles😀🇦🇺🇬🇧🍀 j c

Absolutely! That’s the beauty of handcrafting, you can make anything! I’ve used different weight yarns for several blanket projects, and it comes down to what look you want to give it. I like the obvious difference between the two because it creates a very distinct border, and since you mentioned using a different color for the border, I’m guessing you are ok with making the border stand out? I’d start by testing out the stitch you want to use for your border with the same hook you used for the blanket. If it doesn’t look the way you want, then use a smaller hook. Depending on how big the stitches on the blanket are, you may even want to try using a small hook (3.72 or 4.25) and work two border stitches into each of the blanket stitches. If you can’t find the look you’re going for, email me. We can brainstorm. :)

@@ModeBespoke thank you so much. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Hi, I love the way you explained the borders. I just finished knitting a baby blanket in raspberry stitch and want to crochet a border. Since I am a beginner, I should have knit each stitch at the end of each row to make adding a border much easier, but I did not think of it in the beginning. Too late now. I am going to crochet a single crochet around full blanket and then I would like to try a shell around for second row. I will look on your site for a tutorial on how to accomplish this. Thank you.

Oh no! I didn’t mean to confuse you! 😐

She talks to fast!!!

I’m updating the pattern, and have taken down the tutorial so that I may also work on it. I’m not sure when I’ll re-post it.

Not at the moment. I pulled down the one I had, as it had some errors and did not match the pattern (which may have also contained errors). They’ll be back up as soon as I correct them and re-film the tutorial. 🙂

Oh 🍀🍀sorting the pattern out! I find filet crochet quite difficult somehow to get correct #s of sts! That’s why I am also asking uf you have the pattern🙂❤️ j c

Thank you 😊 The pattern is currently unavailable. Once I finish working on it, I’ll notify you.

@@ModeBespoke ok, thank you.

Please, I’d also like that pattern!😀

I believe so, yes.

Thank you so much for letting me know! I took down the pattern as it needs some additional work, but I’ll post something when it’s up again. As for the yarn, I believe it was Caron Simply Soft 🤔 Really, any yarn with a sheen will look fantastic with that stitch.

Hi there! Thank you! You know, I used to have the same problem! It was so frustrating! Wavy usually means you have too many stitches. So I’d try reducing the number of SC in that first row. Start by removing one SC, crochet a few rounds and see it that helps. If it is still wavy, remove one more. Hope it helps!

@@ModeBespoke ok I am making another one the same.....so I'll try this. Its weird because I followed a pattern..... but I am going to try what you say with this one. Thanks

Sure thing! Let me now how it works out. Remember that a pattern is just a guide, love. We all crochet differently, so it may just be that your stitches are slightly larger than those of the person who wrote the pattern. I have to adjust patterns to fit my crochet needs all the time! You got this! 🙌🏻

@@ModeBespoke Ohhhhhhhh ok got ya!! Awesome advice thank you. I do got this! I am enjoying making baby, lap, child blankets and afghans. I am ready to try different things like headbands, scarves etc. But I really want to attempt to make myself a cardigan. Been watching a few videos and although they seem intimidating, if I take my time I can do this. BUT I am also going to try the basic easiest one I can find out there. many thanks!!

You can do it! I believe in you!! They are a little intimidating, aren’t they? I still have a few cardigan videos sitting on my “watch later” playlist that I’ve been wanting to start.....but am a little too chicken to. We will both have cardigans though! 🤞🏼 maybe this next year is the year!

Nothing. That’s normally what I do with a border and it works and looks just fine.

Here is the updated version of the blanket: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eN6ehtyTnsfLmWQ.html

My corners usually cup, possibly due to a tighter tension or resulting from using a smaller hook for my borders than I do the blanket. Adding a stitch fixes it.

Turquoise. It’s a yarn called Craft Smart Value, a bargain acrylic avail at Michaels stores in the U.S.

You can use any of the 4 borders in this video. I replied to your email in which you included a photo of the blanket (it’s lovely, well done!) I’m not sure if you’ve seen it in your inbox yet.

The original pattern (the one in the tutorial) had several errors in it. I te-worked it and now it’s called Emma’s Blanket. The colors are different, but the construction of the hearts is the same. Emma’s Blanket, Crochet Heart Blanket kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eN6ehtyTnsfLmWQ.html

@@ModeBespoke oh thank you for taking the time to answer!! You have a beautiful evening many thanks 😊

You can emails me: atenas@modebespoke.com

Ok, I’ll add it to the tutorial list. Thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you for the suggestion :)

Thank you! I’m sure most folks do, but I go over it for that one person who might not. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for the feedback! 🙏🏼
