It's so sweet and cute. My little Genny has got such a present from her aunt. She also knits. You must get to know each other. It would be a great possibility to broaden the scope of your hobby.
Thank you so much x
Very cute. Thank you for sharing .
Wow! Such a cool crochet this is. Really I need to learn how to make this. I followed your process of making this cute hat, but still unsuccessful. Every time i want to make this, some problems appear suddenly. And I don't know actually why this happens. Anyways thank you a lot for sharing. It would be very much helpful for the new mothers. Babies normally look very cute in these crocheted outfits. And it looks even more special if it is made by own mother.

Spectacular afghan. Love the color and the design of the pattern, will make this winter. Thanks so much for the pattern.
Is the scallup edge supposed to be smooth on the top and bottom edge and a ruffle on the two side edges?
The ruffle should actually look pretty much the same all the way around. Be sure you are skipping a stitch between the 5 dc and 1 sc around.

I am but the row before the scallop has 2 sc in each space on the sides and only sc on the end rows?
Hi Jean,
You have pointed out a mistake in the row before the scallop……it should just be 1 sc in each double crochet stitch all the way around. That should make it look the same all the way around. Thanks for your comments and questions. I will fix it now.
Chris
for the first row at the end it reads in the last 3 chains to skip 2 chains and then work 3 dc in last dc should it be work 3 dc in last chain then chain 3 and turn?
Yes, it should be 3 dc in the last chain. Thanks! I will change that now.
Hi Christine, any plans on making a video tutorial for this blanket? It is beautiful.

I'm confused there is no space before the end dc at the end of the 1st row.
nice post
Thank you for the free pattern. I crochet for preemies, could you give me the starting chain for about a 20"X20"
Thank you for taking the time to publish this information very useful! nature's sleep mattress reviews
I’m confused, at the end of row 1 DC 3 into last chain & then Ch3, then at beginning of Row 2 3DC into space before first DC. Would that be the space after the chain? If so, then the rest of the pattern for row 2 seems off??? Please clarify
Hi Carol,
Thanks for contacting me. At the end of each row you will work 3 dc in the space before the last dc. (The Ch 3 doesn’t count as the last dc.) Then Ch 3 Turn and do 1 dc in the space after the last dc that you made in the previous row. It may seem like it would be off, but it really does work. Hope this helps. Thanks for your question and for your business. I would love to see you finished project! Also, if you still have a question please contact me again.
Best Wishes
Chris
