I've been working on "forever blankets" for my great nieces and nephews...all with different patterns and I've chosen this one for one of my great nieces with various shades of purple. I'm so excited as to how quickly it's going to work up now that my skills and speed has greatly improved. I can't wait to see the finished project.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888625610320398603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15177336.post-23567522616243788682019-04-07T16:27:27.788-05:002019-04-07T16:27:27.788-05:00Thank you so much for your pattern!

My first Lyla 3yrs, is getting this Afghan, my 2nd Jaxson 2 yrs, I made a huge grannysquare. My other 3, Adam 7mths,and Meadow 4mths, will both get this pattern. My youngest Harper, still cooking in her mommy's belly, will most likely be getting this pattern also. They will be part of their Christmas gifts, and in Pennsylvania, they will need them! Again, thank you so so much!<br />Happy crocheting ❤ Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11559146329147395702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15177336.post-6512994990198517492018-11-15T19:15:56.592-06:002018-11-15T19:15:56.592-06:00I am starting this tomorrow.

I didn’t the ch48 then tow 1. I’m starting row 2 and it says “join at last ch1 sp then ch3 2dc ch1 in same sp” so I did that. Now do I move to the next “hole” which would be the middle of the last dc or do I do “ch3 2dc, ch1 3dc ch1 3dc ch1 3 dc” at the middle of last dc made in row 1 as it looks like in the pics.

And how would I 'end off' instead of joining another color? <br />I also wanted to make sure that its ok if I just keep going to end up with a larger afghan? For a Queen bed. Or would I start with a different beginning chain????Sierraflowrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611986972140159647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15177336.post-60480553503006203892016-08-31T17:03:53.691-05:002016-08-31T17:03:53.691-05:00I'm so delighted I found your lovely pattern a...I'm so delighted I found your lovely pattern about ten years after you published it.

But, if you don't mind the look of that when you do a color change, it's probably ok. It's your afghan, starting new colors at the corners is pretty much just a suggestion. Start the colors wherever you think you want them to be placed.

I'll buy more later if I need to. The consensus was that I can work it so that if I have a different lot number it won't be next to the other rows and nobody will ever notice. :-) It's looking great so far. I'll post a picture when I'm done if I can figure out how. :-)Frauline Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907679789556346837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15177336.post-69724802353037899412015-12-31T12:47:30.998-06:002015-12-31T12:47:30.998-06:00I don't know.

So, I'm probably going to screw this up. Seriously, I suck at math. <br /><br />I'm guessing the multiple would be 5, plus 3 more ch sts. <br /><br />If I had a crochet hook, and some yarn handy, I'd see if I can check my math using actual yarn, but I'm not near my yarn stash at the moment. (and again, I suck at math. Seriously. I flunked algebra five times in high school) <br /><br />If I screwed up the math, my best suggestion would be to experiment, and see what works for you.

What is the stitch multiple for that starting chain, though? I think I'd like to adapt your pattern down to the proportions I'd need to make a 22" x 26" car seat afghan (my "knit night" group's current charity crochet project), so I suspect I'd probably need a shorter starting chain, but one which would still have both the right number of chain stitches for the dc "shells" in Round 1, plus enough additional chain stiches for those end loop bits.Catherine A.
