I just finished mine and it turned out lovely! I did 117 chains (+3 for the turning) and that was pretty sufficient for a larger blanket. I used 6 sheins of the 300g Bernat Blanket yarn and just kept going until they all ran out. Will be making more and will probably buy more sheins in order to make the blanket extra extra extra large :) Thank you, again!

THANK YOU! You did a fantastic job! This was the easiest, fastest, and best blanket I have ever made! For those struggling without the pattern written out-try pausing the video as you go, and rewinding when necessary. I did this and rewound for the ends until I had it memorized. I made a GIANT version for my husband, pups, and I to share, and it is amaaaaazingly soft!

I freaking love you so much!!!! I am a BEGINNER beginner, and you’re so so good at teaching and explaining. I loveeeee how this is turning out already, not finished yet ❤️❤️❤️

I used a fine yarn for a scarf using this pattern. It is beautiful! Thx so much for posting this. BTW ,you are adorable.

This tutorial is so clear and simple. Thank you, my blanket turned out amazing

Cant thank you enough! Just started this project and you explained it really well and it’s doable for total beginners like myself! Thanks a lot, I love this pattern

Thank you Monica.....for your first U-Tube video, you did a fantastic job. I love the close ups and easy instructions.....Thank you so much!

I am going to use your tutorial for my first afghan... So excited as I love this look!

I have done 4 blankets for the grandkids in this pattern. I am currently working on 5 & 6! 😁 I love it! Thank you.

This is great! Thank you. 😊 I’ve seen a lot of videos on crochet projects. They are not all good! You’re good at this, keep it up 👍🏼

A perfect tuition. You allowed the close ups to do the talking,rather than distracting us with words + that made it so easy to follow. Very well done+ much appreciated

I have been trying to crochet a double crochet blanket for years and your video is the first one that made sense to me and that I could follow along with. You're a great teacher!

Fabulous job at explaining how to do this in simple terms. Thank you. X

You are so funny and cute! And I love your instructions and the pattern. Your blanket is beautiful. I love that young people are getting into knitting and crocheting.

Thank you for the tutorial, still working on the blanket, and yes so far my blanket is staying straight with straight edges, thanks so much!

I just want to take a moment and say THANK YOU. You did amazing. Your tutorial is the first one that not only made sense, but I could actually SEE what I was looking for. I am trying to make a baby blanket for my first baby nephew, and your tutorial is going to get me there. So again, thank you so so much!!

I've just learn to crochet at 63 years old and you've inspired me to make this..thankyou

I was searching for a nice, simple pattern for a housewarming gift for my sister in law. This is perfect. Thank you!

Thank you 🙏 Finally, instructions I can follow thanks to you! Thanks so much!

Love the intro💖 that’s me every time I finish a project

Absolutely loved your video demo, and have now begun to use your pattern for my blankets for family and friends... baby sized to king sized. I loved the pattern. I took a while to get the beginnings and ends sections started, but easier afterwards. Keep posting... I chose yours over many and everyone loves them. Cheers to you and your talents, especially for sharing them. Wellness and peace to you and yours 🦋✨💫🎵

Hi Monica I love your blanket it's gorgeous. I've started it and can't wait to finish. Great tutorial. Keep up the greàt work.

Just found you. I'm a beginner. You make it look so easy. You did great describing and showing the process. Want to start my blanket asap. Thanks

This is my favorite pattern so far! Made a lap blanket for my parents and now a baby blanket. Thank you for this beautiful pattern!

You did an excellent job and even threw in the important part of how to keep the sides straight. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this video! I like how you made it so simple for beginners that don't know the correct Crotchet terms. I follow this and made the same afghan for mother mother in law who recently had a stroke and she absolutely loved it!! Thank you for making this!

Thanks for the lovely and easy pattern! Made this into a toddler blanket using Red Heart Hygge yarn in a soft grey. On my last 4 rows I had a "Bob Ross" happy accident when I turned and the slight contrast made a lovely top border. Almost 6 skeins used.

I've been crocheting for years (decades, lol). I've recently been looking for a really simple, and somewhat open (with holes in it) pattern for this beautiful, thick, furry chenille yarn I have. Making a gift for someone. I tried a couple other patterns, but besides being too intricate for this kind of yarn, you can't see most patterns through the fuzziness, anyway, Then I came across your tutorial and I think it's the one! Can't wait to try it with this yarn. Also though, When you held up your own complete afghan, I immediately saw that it is the exact pattern of the blanket my great aunt made for me soooo long ago as a graduation gift! It is even the same color. It was very special to me because she was older and even blind, yet she went through all the trouble to crochet this beautiful - and huge! - blanket for me : ) Somehow, I lost it years ago in a move and I always felt so bad about that. But now, I can recreate it since I see this is the exact pattern! I am grateful for your tutorial and that I stumbled upon it!! Well, I'll recreate it after I make the first blanket w this soft, fuzzy, pale green chenille yarn. Thanks 🙏 😊 Also, it's cool to see younger people getting into crocheting. It's so easy, quick, and it's so rewarding, right? Plus, there are so many gifts you can make for people and they always appreciate a beautiful, handmade gift. Keep on hookin' ; ) ❤

I wish you would do more crochet videos! You are a good teacher..I was brand new to crochet last year and made this for my dad for xmas thanks to this video..the only one that clicked

Thank you for this video. I am making a blanket now. Barnet yarn You are a great teacher 🌹

Thanks a bunch for this super awesome video. I saved it because I'm gonna put down this knitting and pick up the crochet next week!!

Wow ! I'm totally blown away ! Explained really well. I'm gonna try the same fuzzy 4 color, and i can't wait to see the pattern it makes. Thank You. I like the sound effects too lol

You helped a lot! Thanks! Your blanket is beautiful ❤️

I tried this and i turned out so nice! Thanks for this tutorial.

I have never made anything more than played around with a single chain. I just finished a king size blanket using this tutorial! Please make more!!!

Thank you thank you! Just learning how to crochet but I finished two blankets and working on my third. Your blanket is going to be next! Thanks again!

Thank you for an awesome tutorial for my journey down south in my RV. Woo-hoo! I'm excited

The best instructor yet! Close ups are sharp.. she doesn’t “ over- talk”as many teachers do. Excellent!

You did a great job. Love this pattern and it's easy for velvet yarn.

I have been learning and have tried several different videos and i find you very helpful. Thank you.

I have been trying to get started on nice warm blanket for my two fur baby kitties and I'm using this chunky yarn because it is so soft and warm and they love a warm blanket and I'm just starting to learn to crochet and this looks easy enough for a dimbo like me to do lol thank you for your brilliant video

Terry Lund You did a great job at explaining. 😊Thanks will be making this one

Thanks, have struggled to follow lots of videos, but managed to follow yours

Thanks for posting .. i recently bought yarn to make a baby blanket .. this will be my first ever project and i am so excited. I am due in july ‘19 and this double crochet blanket seems best for beginners. Looking forward to it!!!

My favorite! I’ve made two so far! About to make a third! I’m just giving them away to all the babies that’s coming! Lol thank you!

Excellent!!! Thank you for sharing

I have been crocheting for a fairly long time, but always looking for new patterns. I think this is exactly what I am looking for, for a gift. You did a good job explaining things! I wonder if you, I was trying to watch when you showed the entire blanket. ❤️

Did you use two skins of that same crochet yarn to complete your blanket project.

Good job for teaching this blanket

Just started trying to teach myself to crochet. Slip knot no problem, I can do my chains good. I have been practicing SC. Now I am ready to practice DC. I really want to make a baby blanket for my Neice who is due is April. We'll see how it goes. I run into either adding a couple of stitches to losing. Stitch or two along the way. I need to figure out how to keep my rows nice and straight. Think i need some of those row markers for a while. Still I'm motivated so we'll see how things progress.

Nice little video! Congratulations! You did a great job and you have a good style. I think I’m going to make this blanket. It looks fast and easy. I’m just wondering what I want to use to finish the edges.

Beautiful and well explained ❤️

You got some gnarly thumb joints... And some mad crotchet skills. You speak my weirdo language. You did great btw. On the blankie AND the video. I havent looked but i hope youve made more and/or will make more. Thanks for sharing. I'm making it now

Thank you for posting an actually easy beginner pattern

You're a life saver! Thank you!

0:00 - 0:16 *Me all the time* Also ty! i have been making crochet to hand out around my neighborhood and this REALLY helped :D

You did a great job with your video! Thank you! 👏🏻

Awwwe u are so cute. Thank you for this video. I watched more than a few, and they just weren't cutting it for me. This video was perfect. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing this. It was easy to follow for this beginner Lefty.

This is nice and slow I appreciate it

I love the stitch i used it to make a baby blanket with a pillow case

This was very helpful and this is actually starting a business

your video is... easy to follow easy to see background is great explanation is clear I have to make a 7 foot by 6 foot blanket I have watched video after video for over a week Your blanket is the one that has come to the top 💯☝️🏆 keep crochet videos coming I have subscribed to your channel Thank you soooo much 🎉

I am working with the Bernat velvet stripes and it’s beautiful but so hard to see the stitches and after many false starts and errors on other patterns, I was able to get this one going without error the very first try. Thank you. It’s looking nice already!!

Thank you! And much love always!

When you do the last row in the video do you put 1 or 2 double crochets in the first hole? Does the chain 3 count as a double crochet?

Wow, super helpful!
