Christmas Eve Wishes Blanket - Stripes, Bobbles and Candy Cane Stripes 

I want to make this blanket as a Christmas present for this year. I've been very nervous about trying to make it encase I don't understand the written instructions. I can't explain how happy I am when I realised there are these videos which go so slowly and explain everything so well ! Watching this. I've finally got the confidence to make this blanket !!! Thank you so much ! Videos like these really help visual learners.

Tip: get 15 bobby pins, chain 10 then pop a bobby pin into that stitch. Then repeat. When you run out of bobby pins, you should have 150 stitches. I've had to frog so many times until I found this tip. It's not my original but I can't remember where I saw it, sorry.

Such a great tutorial. I've been crocheting for over 50 years (US terms) and I loved your slow, gentle, thorough explanation. Thank you so much.

I cannot believe this actually seems do-able! You’re an excellent teacher.

Thank you Anita for such clear audio and visual instructions. You really demystified the process for me. I'm still waiting for my yarn but so itchy to start I'm going to start a small sampler with leftovers from another project asap!!

i’m having so much fun making this blanket! i’m a beginner and so far it’s going great because you explain really well! thank you for sharing this calendar. can’t wait for the remaining weeks 🤍❄️

Anita, thank you for your wonderful videos. They are clear and concise. I started the blanket about a month ago and am about to start the Father Christmas hats. I would have never have thought in a million years that I could tackle a project like this. But, thanks to your outstanding videos, my project is awesome. Oh, I’m going to be making two of these. They will be presents for my twin great nephews. Thank you, thank you for sharing this!

You are an amazing teacher. Within minutes i bought the pattern and cant wsit to buy yarn and get started. Thank you.

Very clear, easy to follow video (even for a lefty!). Written pattern also takes you step-by-step through each row.

Very user-friendly. Nice and slow. Can see every step of the way very clear and precise. Not afraid to try this pattern with your instructions. THANK YOU!

Searched for Christmas blanket patterns and yours was the first to pop up here in Hershey, PA! This is BEAUTIFUL! Then I went to your website, and the Pumpkin Square... oh my gosh!! Amazing!

Left handed- I wondered how to do this left handed I listened to the commentary rather than watching and it was so easy Thank you

Oh my gosh! Such beautiful work and such wonderfully clear guidance. I get turned around so often but you have made this so easily understood. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and your patient direction.

Thanks so much for you're row by row instructions it's such a good help for me as an enthusiastic beginner , I'm loving making this gorgeous blanket for my new granddaughter 💗 xx

I just found you and I’m so excited! You’re an amazing teacher!❤

Hi, I've just 'found' you! Thank you for such a lovely, calm crochet tutorial. You've cleared the mystery of how to crochet a blanket with multi colour pictures / patterns.

Thank you so much for your easy, no nonsense instructions. All finished and eagerly awaiting Part 2

Thank you for a fun tutorial, relaxed, easy to follow and most importantly enjoyable. Looking forward to part 2.

well done video, very clear and easy to see and follow. Great pattern, thank you so much for your time and efforts. Can't wait to get started, have ordered the yarn.

I just seen the picture and clicked on it that is the most pretty color combination I've ever seen and I love gingerbread man

Thank you for the excellent pattern and videos.. The instructions are precise and easy to follow.... :) Even though I've only been crocheting for 2 years, I'm definitely going to give it a try.... :)

So excited and thank for sharing God Bless ❤

Thank you so much for making this video. Im kinda new to the crochet thing and this video made all the difference. Blessings

Such a wonderful blanket and your instuctions are so good. Can't wait to start this pattern sadly it will have to wait until the New Year , several of us are going to meet once a week and crochet away, finishing the piece in question before the next meeting, it will be a fun project I can't thank you enough for all of the work that you have put into this

Muchas gracias Anita! Por compartirnos tu hermoso trabajo, ojala y sigas deleitandonos con mas proyectos!!

Making mine I’m at the ginger bread men I’m obsessed with it thanks so much for sharing ❤️ need to make one for every holiday ☺️

Thankyou so so much for sharing this beautiful Christmas blanket. I’ve only just stumbled across your channel, so a bit late for me to start. But, I *Do* plan on following all the tutorials, I want to make 2 for next Christmas (Im still quite new to crochet & not very fast), for my 2 grandsons. Thankyou xx

Hey thanks so much for the helpful videos! Can I double check how many stitches I should have at the end of the candy cane rows please? Thanks x

Thank you for sharing. Very helpful and patient tutorial.

Thank you for the excellent video.I would like to make a smaller project.please may I know the stitch count to make a swatch to practice. Thanks and regards

Very lovely!! Can’t wait to see your next project!! ❤️🥰

You are working on the back?! I always thought the side facing you was the front so I’m glad I found this video! Thank you.

my yarn pack arrived Saturday I chose the Original Xmas colours and i did week one yesterday. Going to start week 2 this evening, I’m making it for my son but now my daughter wants one 🥴

So happy to have found this CAL and your channel. Always nice to find a new channel and fellow crafter, I have subscribed 👍💐💜🙂

Love this blanket but I’m having a hard time with first bobble stitch when I switch back to green. I may have to leave the bobbles off.

Truly beautiful Anita

I can’t wait to get started on this blanket! Just a question though, the amount of yarn is given in grams, I’m using a bit heavier yarn is there any way to know how many yards of each colour I would need?

This is so adorable 🥰 Thank you for sharing this❣🥰❤❤❤❤❤

I am so happy to have found this! Lovely pattern and video. Definitely going to make this.

Just ordered the kit . Thanks this looks lovely x

Lovely clear video thank you 😊

Oh my Anita, I didn’t think I would be able to do this, but looking at your RU-vid, you’ve made it so understandable I’m now off to buy the yarn x x x

Merci. Très intéressant. Magnifique.

Desde Brasil. Lindo trabajo.lindo.

I would love to do this blanket but cannot follow a crocheting pattern are all the videos on RU-vid channel for this blanket. Thank you

Could you make a stocking? I want to make my daughter a special stocking, my great aunt made all of us kids massive stockings and I can't find a good pattern and this would make such an amazing stocking!

Hello, first of all thanks for this amazing gift. I would like make this blanket in a bigger size. Can I start with 302 stitches for a double of your size o I need more of them? Many thanks 😊

Amazing thank you xx

Love love love this ❤

Can I ask how many bobbles should be on row 5 please Anita, I appear to have 4 stitches after my last bobble 🤨 thank you in advance 🥰

I love this! Might take me 3 Christmases to complete it though! XD

So beautiful, in which week will you post the last video?

forgive me but I can't seem to find where to buy the pattern. HELP!!!

Excellent job! Thanks 🤗

This blanket is beautiful!...is the complete pattern available?.. thanks

Instead of chain 3 at the beginning of the chain since I don’t like the big gap it produces. Can I use a stacked DC if you understand what I mean. Will I still have to chain 150 chains

Hello, I would like to make this afghan. It's gorgeous and you are a very good instructor. However, I cannot find the pattern on the page you linked and the yarn for the red version is out of stock.

I am left handed get so confused with crafts so it better for me to watch video and do it with that

At the end of row 13 you go in as if doing a treble crochet, is this the case? Or should I do a half treble and change yarn?

Please show how to weave in the bobble row

Just started making this blanket and it's really nice, i was wondering if, i made this in aran yarn and a bigger hook, would it still turn out as good,

SO helpful!

Hi, love this pattern, thank you for sharing. I am having trouble with the first red row of the blanket as stitches dont add up. If i miss one stitch at the beginning then i have two left at the end and if i miss two stitches then i have one stitch left as per pattern but on the next row after at the end the stitches dont add up. Can you or someone explain please.

Love it, fantastic x

Bellissimo❤

Help, if l buy the pattern are the charts for snow flakes and gingerbread men , santa hats shown on a chart as the snowflakes are on your ytube video.

I’m just starting - it says on the pattern to go up half a hook size for the rows with colour changes. Do I do this on the bobble row? Thanks 😊

Can you help please. I’d like to make the blanket slighty smaller, is this possible? Could I just chain 102

I have a question. How do I find the description box?

How many stitches are you using in your sample?

This is such a beautiful and cute blanket!! I’m not a fan of Christmas themed things but this is adorable. If i didn’t already have a few projects I’d definitely do this! Saving for next year :)

Great work 👏 👍 👌 💪

Excuse for asking., but what size hook and wool are you using, I’m still learning.

Is there a pattern I can print? Thanks!

What stitch count to make it one less section (snowflake & so on)?

you are going to download the entire design of the blanket?

I love doing with video nice slow easy to follow I am learning well done would love you to do some Christmas squares I learn by watching videos helps me I don’t have Facebook I just need to buy wool thankyou again I live in Australia instergram

can you show me how you are holding the wool in your left hand please ? x

Clicked on link ordered the colours it said there, then when I clicked on pattern the colours were different 🤦‍♀️ gutted if it turns out not like this one 😢

Amei

How do I order the kit? Tia

Is there a written pattern for this afghan

When will the next episode come?

I really love it. But… looks like a lot of stitch counting and bc I’m ocd- multiple stitch counting of the same row over and over! And over. I 😅 can’t 😢

Hallo ik kan week twee niet vinden

🥳🥳

Could you please zoom in a bit more? Some of us don’t have the best vision.

What yarn would I use in us I have a bunch of yarn but I don't know what dk is

Porque no ponen subtitulo en español

I’m very late to the party but these videos make no sense! The pattern says you will have 9 loops on your hook when making bobbles!! What is going on? Should I follow the written pattern or the videos………..

Brilliant tutorial, and thank you for having short nails. I find long, over decorated nails so distracting.

Patterns don't help me because the words confuse me. It's like trying to do algebra or trigonometry in your head. I am very much "monkey see, monkey do".
