Are there answers or corrections to these questions. Sounds like some people had problems.
i apparently don’t understand what this pattern is wanting me to do. whenever I get to the end of a row the turn around just looks wrong. so yeah, i’m not one to give up, and i’ve given up on this one.
What I’m seeing is that the way each row ends and then starts creates a scalloped edging. After you get the body of the afghan done you then crochet around it to trim it. If you read all of the directions you’ll see that the afghan ends have what they call, hills & valleys, what I called scalloped.
Is there a sc in between the sc,dc in same stitch?? At the end of the line you are going directly on top of the last sc,dc from last line, is that correct?
Nice I made one for myself to work out the kinks/make sure I knew what I was doing. My daughter liked it so much, I made her one for part of her wedding gift.
Nice afghan. Easy pattern. However,VERY expensive if you use the HOMESPUN yarn.
I make projects for the homeless and this one will be a great one to make. Thanks so much for the pattern
This pattern is great. Used it to get rid of scrap wool this winter.
Whatever I had left I mixed with a solid beige n it looks amazing n was asked by a few friends if they could have it. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Just tried this and it is great! I like that it is so soft and HUGE!
I get the satisfaction of seeing real progress every time I pick it up.
I worked on it for about an hour every night and it took me about a
week. I only used to skeins and it was still quite large. I am a sit
in front of the TV to crochet kind of person and this was perfect for that
purpose. Love it! Will do them for Christmas this year!
i didn’t like this pattern sorry. =-(
This is a very good pattern. A beautiful product using basic simple stitches. I modified it by using a P hook and a 76 count beginning chain, so it took me longer than the 4.5 hours. I am teaching my coworkers to crochet. I will use this pattern as our first project.
I made this for my grandson and I used two skiens of baby yarn which made it a little thicker/heavier and still quite soft. Love the pattern and have shared it with others as on of my favorites.
I love to crochet but can never find the time. I saw this and picked a day that I a wasn’t doing anything and worked on this for about 4 1/2 hours. Now it’s done and I love it!!!! thnx!!
Great pattern and the large hook works up fast.
I LOVE this afghan! I of course made the first 1 for myself(to work out any mistakes)&now I’m making 1 for every member of my family for Christmas!!
Great looking afghan. With time being short, this is just what I needed to find. Thanks so much!
hmmm, this looks like something good to try….i’ll print it out and try it, i don’t like spending a lot of time on crochet projects but i LOVE making afghans, they are always so warm and cozy in the winter, maybe i’ll try it
I have made this and I love the pattern!
