So pretty. What yarn and colors did you use?
I used Light Old Pink, Off White and Light Mint Green 🙂
Hi! What brand of yarn did you use for this?
Could you please provide written directions. I like tutorials but very difficult to learn new pattern with no written directions. Thanks.

I did not say itbefore but totally agree.
I love this part. What brand of yarn did you use? Thank you
Love your tutorials! Thanks for sharing.
I would like a printed copy of the
Block Stitch pattern. I can’t hear very well and need a pattern I can read. Thank you
I would like to make an Afghan using this stitch. How many chains across would I need to make it a twin size topper for my bed? I can make it as long as I wish but need help to compute chains for the width. If I then want to make it still wider, is there a set number I would use so as not to have enough or too many stitches to finish the row perfectly. Thank you for your excellent tutorial and pleasant speaking voice.
You are so clever … I just love your site .. but I am a real beginner.. you make it look so easy .. Thank you
I am deaf, do you have written instructions please
Hi. I'm not sure how to get the white in. Can you explain that? Thank you!!
The single crochet row is how she got the white in there.
In the video where she did the row 1 of pink, row 2 of green, and then row 3 of pink (and so on), you would need to do row 1 of pink, row 2 of white, row 3 of green, row 4 of white, row 5 of pink, row 6 of white, etc..
Your tutorial is very good.
Do you have a written pattern for this stitch. I want to send it to someone who doesn't have a computer. Thank you for your help.
Started as a blanket. What did you do with all the cut yarn strings. Did you do a border.
Please advise. Gardenmh@aol.com thankd
I love this, but would also like the same help as @kitkatcam! How many starting chains for an afghan or twin sized blanket? Is there a formula, like… Multiples of 12 + 3?
the block stitch is a mulitiple of 3+1
I'm 77 years old. I've been crocheting for many years but have always used a written pattern someone else wrote. I would love to make something I figured out on my own before I die. When you say 3+1 do I chain a multiple of chain 4's or do I chain a multiple of chain 3 and add chain 1 at the end of chain 3's. This is so confusing to me. Please help. I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks so much, Emma Jean Wike, my email address is
midgeesma@embarqmail.com
Did you get your answer? It would be multiples of 3 until you get your desired length/width then 1 more chain at the end (which acts as the turning chain).
Is there a written, printable version of this pattern?
Love it, thanks.
excelente explicación, mil gracias y saludos desde México
muchas gracias
How do you weave the tail ends in?? Help!
Are their written instructions available ??
tutorials are nice but wish you would include a printed pattern I can just keep in my lap when I am working on something new! not every one has a tablet or what ever that they can replay the tutorials on until they get it right..catnipcottagekk
This was very helpful once I realised that when you said single crochet you really meant double crochet, and the double crochets are actually trebles. I thought that being Australian you would use UK terminology and not the incorrect American one. Perhaps you could mention that at the beginning of each video? Otherwise showing the actual stitching is very clear, thank you.
That was very offensive. I’m American and the terms are like languages, they’re not “wrong” just different. The young lady who makes these tutorials for free is just using the terms she’s comfortable with. Just like if I went to Germany, I would still speak English because it’s what I know and what I am comfortable with. It is NOT wrong. Preference isn’t wrong. This is art! Crocheting is beautiful and much live goes into the effort, I’m appalled that you have the audacity to tell this this kind hearted lady she’s using “wrong” terms because they’re American! I’ll pray for you.
Sarah, I totally agree with you. It isn’t a matter of right or wrong when crocheting. It all depends on where the artist is from because the same term can mean different things in each country.
Hello 🙂 What brand of yarn did you use for this tutorial. I love the texture.
👏 Very well said❗
what about all the tie-ins at end of each row? Seems like a lot of ends to hide
after different colors.
I love this stitch and your tutorial . Your tutorial is so clear and easy to understand. I can't wait to make a baby afghan with this stitch. Just one suggestion. Although I love the background music, I find it a little distracting. I find myself stopping and listening and then get lost. You might want to turn it lower in your next video or just have it on at the beginning and the end. 🙂
Good morning,
What size hook did you use for your block stitch .
How many skeins do I use for a single blanket for a single bed.
Lovely tutorial and very helpful! Thank you!
i need to know how can i make crossbell stiche
Hi. Can you tell me the name of the yarn you used?
Thanks for the tutorial.
Can’t wait to try this stitch.
I wish she would answer comments
The block is very Beautiful
I’ve noticed you don’t reply to those who have asked for written instructions on the ‘block stitch’. A lot of people have no computer to see video & those that do, don’t want to loan out their computer for those to see video. Please can we have the written instructions? Thank you.
What type of yarn did you use here?
All this whining is so annoying!! The author provided the stitch pattern via a video. PERIOD. She took the time away from her own life to do the video FREE of charge. It’s unfortunate if you cannot work from the video or mail it off to someone without a computer. She is under no obligation to provide anything further. The tutorial is to show how the block stitch is done. It is not for her to figure out how many stitches or how many skeins of yarn someone will need to make whatever project you decide to use the stitch on. Be thankful and grateful she provided the stitch pattern at all. The cliche you give someone an inch and they want a mile always holds true. For gosh sakes search the internet and see if you can find a blanket or whatever project you wish which uses the block stitch. You may have to purchase it. Oh well!
Agreed! This tutorial is one of the clearest I have seen with the steps explained slowly and using a yarn that clearly showed the stitches. You explained exactly how to do each stitch. And as a beginner my first sample came out fairly even and far better than I had expected. With a fairly thin yarn a starting chain of 19 gave about 4.5-5 ish inches.
Very easy to understand, thanks for sharing.
Omg!
This is a wonderful pattern!
Thank you very much!
What border would you suggest?
What a pretty stitch . I am a complete beginner
Very well demonstrated. Thank you.
Always looking for different stitches.. this one looks great. Thank you.
Thanks for an easy to follow tutorial. I’m assuming I need to cut the yarn after each row. What is the best way to get my edges looking as neat as yours???? Mine looks very shaggy.
I love your tutorials you explain the directions so well it’s easy to understand. Can you explain the raised ripple stitch please.would love written directions of the block stitch. Thank you so much
Loved the tutorial!
Hello Olivia my name is Renee. I like the block stitch blanket, you made in 2016 i was wondering what size hook do you use. And i want to make a baby blanket for my co-worker that’s having a baby boy. How many chains do i have to do to make it. I love the colors you used but i want to make it for a baby boy. Well job done on the one you made. Would appreciate if you get back to me.
Love you pattern!!!👍
Hi love it.how many chain’s do you recommend for a baby afgan.thanks carol
I love the this pattern.
Looks so easy haha
I would love to see these patterns, they are awesome, how can I see them, Would love to do several of them??? Does not give the patterns, Thank You,
Where can I find the written pattern of this stitch
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern!
I would like to know which stitches are good for round baby blankets or Lovey’s or security blanket
I am left handed and want to learn crochet
How about left handed people? I’ve been just doing the 1st row twice. Any other suggestions? Love your site. At 85 I’ve won awards at country fair. I didn’t submit it but the person I made it for did and I got first prize. I was surprised. Thanks for the pattern instructions.
Where do I get a written pattern for this. I do not like videos to watch.
Thank you, very clear instructions
Enjoy the video
Beautiful pattern
Great very informative
I am new at crocheting. I don’t know what to do with the yarn at each row where the color is changed. Also does the piece just end after the 4th row when the piece is long enough. Also I have problems keeping the ends of my rows of equal length. Am I picking up the wrong final stitch?
Love your easy to follow directions. The BLOCK STITCH is ideal for boarders on some baby blankets or Afghans.
An idea; change your bamboo hook to a metal hook and the yarn will not “grab” and stick to the hook.
I love the way you teach and I can follow your way and create something or learn something new! Thanks
Where do I find pattern for block stitch to print please?
Thank you so much for your video. Very easy to understand. For those who don’t like the music, for goodness sake just turn it down or turn it off.
Beautiful design
You did a great job teaching this pattern! Thank you for the demonstration and taking it slow enough to learn. 👍
I need written instructions. After you watch the tutorial and start to make the pattern, if you get stuck you can refer back to the written instructions, if you’ve watched the tutorial you can’t.
Very pretty, looking for a new pattern
Love those patterns
You did a wonderful job explaining yourself. You went slowly and deliberately. Not all beginners know how to do a simple chain . I had to show my granddaughter how. Before she started her project. Would you also be able to do an extremely basic video. Showing the basics ex. Chain stitch, how to make chains. How to count stitches in rows. How to change colors. Just extremely back to basic stuff. My granddaughter is trying to teach herself. Your method are extremely well taught. I would like her to learn from someone with patience and understanding of the craft. You do an excellent job. I’m going to suggest your site to her.
is there a written pattern for this blanket, youtube is not helpful for me
How do you join 2 threads together so they look like they are one
You do an excellent job on the tutorial on the block stitch. I have always knitted, crochet patterns so
beautiful far better than it used to be. Do you have the step-by-step way written down? I wish to
do the white or cream with the colors of Mary Maxim Prism. I’m not by the computer long enough at times to watch like I should.
I absolutely love it. Very easy instructions.
I love this pattern but it would be helpful if you could the number of chains to complete an afghan.
I really like the Block stitch and would like it to make a baby blanket using it. But the problem is I would like a printed pattern.
.Thank you. I will be trying this for scarf for grandchildren.
