Nice stitch.
beautiful pattern and as always very clear instructions
This blanket is beautiful. As a fairly novice crocheter the pattern and tutorials are so well written and easy to follow it was a real pleasure to make. I did add in approximately ten rows to get it to the length I wanted, I just chose one of my favourite sections from the pattern and added it in towards the end. Absolutely love it. I will definitely be doing some more of this lady’s designs.
Deceptively simple but produces a complex beautiful blanket!
