I really like this pattern with the combination of shell and v-stitches. I just learned how to do the v-stitch on practice samples this past summer. So, it will be fun to combine it with the shell stitch. I love the different colors in the rows and the size is very nice. Thank you very much.

I love these. I can’t wait to get to work? Thanks!
I’m a beginner and don’t know how too read the pattern too make the sc do you have a video to show me how too begin to crochet .
Hello! I recommend our Crochet Refresh series of videos: https://www.ilikecrochet.com/tag/crochet-refresh-video-series/
Hope that helps! – Nicola
Thank you the freebies I’m excited to see how easy the patterns are.
I make blankets for Teenie Tears. It’s a charity that provides diapers and mini quilts and tunics and blankets for infants that pass away as a preemie either before or soon after birth. We need beautiful patterns that don’t have any open lacy holes to trap tiny fingers. I rewrite patterns to make the size I need. There aren’t very many that meet those requirements.
Please unsubscribe me! I do not crochet! Thank you!

Thank you again for the beautiful free patterns

Thank you so very much for the 3 beautiful blanket patterns. Have a blessed day! Camille
Thanks you for the beautiful baby blanket patterns. May you be abundantly blessed! Camille Davies
Thanks for the patterns. The colours remind me of those I knitted for them as babies and now could deal with the holes now they are older, for college.
Thank You for the patterns. So kind of you.
I agree with the other reader that knowing the pattern count would be helpful in order to change the size of the blanket. Also, I think that the patterns should contain the size of the yarn rather than just the name of the brand used in the pattern. After all, crocheting is about creativity and putting your own stamp on a project.
Thank you for the patterns. I love them!
Not what I expected. Baby blankets are not my thing now. I am happy with my present crochet source. Please cancel my subscription.

Hi, I’m new here and wanted to thank you for the free patterns. I crochet many baby blankets and I gift them out to anyone I know that is pregnant, or has a baby. I started making lap blankets that I’d like to take to a nursing home or senior building for Christmas gifts at the end of the year.
Thank you for the free patterns.
