Great thanks odd numbers of doubles in shell look so much better it gives it nice arch 🙂

Haven't made a call the midwife blanket in ages so was good to get a refresher, tried your border on it for 1st time & it really makes the blanket!

@brendawilliams3737 4 года назад

Beautiful. Like you i was also born in the 60's i remember these most were knitted though. My mum also made and sold these to put bread on the table as the saying was back then for providing food.

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel 4 года назад

Yes, it was all too true. Many of our mothers made gaments blankets and baby clothes back then. It was a cuthroat buisness I remeber my mum complaining someone saidher work was terrable then found out she was selling the same items. One lady from another town bought my mums work then sold it at a higher price in her own town saying it was her own work.

@sandralewis8063 3 года назад

My squares kept coming out as long rectangles. So I added an additional row of 15 dc (US) at the bottom and again at the top of each box. The boxes are more like squares, and I was pretty sure you wouldn’t mind my modifying your gorgeous pattern. This is just lovely, and works up so quickly. Thank you for providing so many gorgeous gift ideas.

@suecolebrook9673 2 года назад

Hi, have completed the blanket from your super video, thank you! The border video has thrown me a little as you say on the 2nd row of trebles , to do just 2 trebles in one stitch in the corner and 1 trebles in the rest. But at the end you say you've done 2 trebles in 2 of the corner stitches to make 8.? I don't want to unravel the row so I'm carrying on, hoping it will still be ok! Thanks again. x

@lorettashinnors5337 3 года назад

Hi Alison, just to let you know I completed my blanket !!!! I did the border slightly different to yours in the end....but it turned out well. I'm delighted with it and so were the recipients Thanks for the tutorial, it was so easy to follow. I'm getting brave and going to have a try at the Chevron blanket Thanks again :0) Loretta

@marybethdickey8202 4 года назад

I am thrilled to have found this channel. I love listening to your voice/accent. I have tried this blanket (sample) and another one already. Only thing is, my border is turning out "ruffly", it doesn't lay nice and flat like yours. Any suggestions?

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel 4 года назад

ruffles mean too many stitches for your border or too slack with your crochet try a smaller hook go down 1 full size for the border and see if that helps. There is nothing wrong in having to adjust it to suit your way of crochet.

@michelleborthwick6334 3 года назад

@lorettashinnors5337 3 года назад

Hi Alison, I just about completing the blanket which I am very happy with (great tutorial ) I have just done the first border and on the 2nd round I'm a little confused. You advise to put 2 TC nto middle of 6 TC on corner and then a single TC into each stitch Then at the end you advise that you have 8 stitches to form your corner ie two sets of TC and singles I am apprehensive to continue with V stitch row until I am clear about this ? Can you advise Loretta

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel 3 года назад

on the 1st round i put 6 treble crochets in each corner (the very 1st corner i did chain 3 and 3 trebles but when i worked all the way around i added another 2 to make it 6) on the 2nd round i did chain 3 ( makes 1 treble) i did 1 more treble into the same stitch then di 1 treble into every stitch around, when i got to the corner (the corner has 6 trebles) i did 1 treble into 3 stitches then added 2 in the chain space then did 1 treble into the next 3 stitches that made 8 in the corner for the 2nd round then continued with 1 in each stitch to the next corner. so in short after the 1st round you have 6 in the corner after the 2nd round you will have 8 in the corners

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel 4 года назад

Google it, Ann it's been around a long time there are many sellers online for this pattern

@marid4502 2 года назад

So is it double crochet or treble crochet for border. Looks like you doing double but saying treble!!

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel 2 года назад

In the UK it's a treble and in USA the stitch is called a double.

@zoeblack1014 Год назад

I'm attempting this boarder, can I just check the first corner (starting corner) do you chain 3 and then 2 treble then at the end put additional 3 in to make yhe 6 stitches up?

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel Год назад

yes

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel 3 года назад

@enzag5076 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing this border pattern. However, I got to the end of round 2 of the treble stitches. You said to add 2 Tr in each corner and to carry on all the way round the blanket. When I finished it, you summarised by saying you added 2 Tr in 2 of the corner st. My blanket is 8 blocks across by 13 of the same pattern, so it took a good 45 mins to complete each round and now that there is conflicting information, I'm not sure my V stitches are going to work out right as there will be a st missing in each corner.

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel 3 года назад

i put 2 trebles in the corner chain 1 and 2 more trebles.

@gailbarnes3753 2 года назад

@amandagratrix9724 2 года назад

Has anyone used dk yarn to make the blanket as my border looks like it's got gaps in it ?

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel 2 года назад

I have it might be your tension try for the border one half size smaller hook that might sort the problem. or you could thread some thin ribbon through the stitches that would be lovely.

@lindatraynor4699 4 года назад

Please please may I ask how many chains do you put up for a standard pram blanket please help xx

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel 4 года назад

There are three basic sizes for crochet blankets: afghan, lap blanket, and baby blanket. Traditionally, full-size, crochet afghan patterns measures about 50″ by 65″. The lap blanket is about 35″ by 40″. And the perennial favorite, the baby blanket, measures about 25″ by 30″. I don't do chain counts I chain to the length I need using a tape measure. If I am doing a pattern I leave a long tail at the beginning of my chain then I can use it to add stitches once i begin a pattern if i don't have enough.

@SuperGillyflower 3 года назад

I think there is a mistake in 2nd row of trebles. You said put 2 trebles in 1 treble in the corner but when you hot to end you said you had put 2 trebled in 2 stitches

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel 3 года назад

2 trebles in 1 stitch then 2 into the next stitch to get around the corner, I did say I had to put more in the 2nd round at the corners. I do say you may have to slightly adjust it to get around your corner. I had to put 2 into 4 stitches around as my tension is slack. Doing corners can be tricky if you have a tight tension the corner squishes in so you may have to adjust it by adding stitches to keep it flat and round, neat.

@k9sandcats268 3 года назад

This was a great tutorial until you came to the V stitch round. The instruction for rounding the corners was very confusing for me. The entire corner consisted of 8 trebles..six single trebles and two stitches in the middle with two trebles, totaling eight stitches, correct? I would like more of an explanation as to how the V stitches fit into those 8 stitches, including the double trebles. Also, a V stitch multiple would be very helpful in making sure the shell round comes out even on all the corners. Otherwise, great work. I would like to see more borders for this blanket. I'm definitely going to get to work on one soon. Thanks very much!

@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel 3 года назад

At the corners you are doing 4 V stitches skip 1 stitch and do a V stitch until you get around the corner I took 4 V stitches to get around the corner
