Let customers speak for us
from 118 reviewsI made this several times about a year ago, and everyone loved it. It fit better than most of the beanies I have done. I was telling a friend about the pattern, but then I couldn't find it - so I bought it again. Will do this again soon!
Wonderful presentation of steps. Easy for a beginner to grasp. Thank you for adding the video on YouTube, it made it all click for me.
Love your tutorials and patterns are easy to follow. Lots of great choices in the ebook. Most are pretty easy and relaxing.
Crochet Block Stitch Blanket
I get requests for babies, and I appreciate a bona fide sock sock pattern.
pattern easy to follow
Easy to follow. Thanks so much. Fast service
Easy to download pattern.
Not easy to save.
Good service. Good pattern. Thank you
Awesome pattern
I love the pattern of this blanket. It is so easy to do and looks like a more experienced crocheter completed it! It is a yarn hog, though. But since it is predominately a baby blanket, you can still keep it manageable and low cost. I also like the Lion Brand Softee recommendation. It is very soft.
I have recently found this stitch and I absolutely love it.
Thank you for the clear and easy to follow directions. I can’t wait to get started.
I belong to a Service Knitting/Crochet group at my church. We produce a lot of baby blankets, scarves, shawls & lap rugs for the needy in our community. This pattern will be well-used in our efforts to keep our less fortunate neighbors warm during the colder months.
I’ve started this pattern, very easy to read and to understand. I can’t wait to see this completed!!!
