In the pattern it says to chain 3 between each set of 3 trebles, but in the video you only chain 2 between each. I decided to follow the video instructions but wondered if this was a typo or something? I love your videos, I have only been crocheting 12 months and you and Blossom Crochet got me started!! Reply thenorgrens November 24, 2020 at 5:18 pm Hi Becky – I just wanted to let you know that the video tutorial and the pattern above are still slightly different. Just starting out so was trying to follow the pattern and then double check on the video but that doesn’t work as they are different. I have literally just started out (only been going a couple of weeks) so will keep trucking. Thank you. Kind regards, Serena Reply Amina February 12, 2021 at 11:37 am Hi Becky, Like others have said above, the video doesn’t match the written pattern. Like above, I was also double checking my work by watching the video after doing the first 2 rounds following the written pattern. I’m also a newbie learning how to crochet. Thank you Reply Michele February 25, 2022 at 8:11 pm First I need to thank you for teaching me the magic ring on your video. I usually cannot follow videos to save my life. ❤️ Could this pattern be done in half double crochet (US term)? And could I keep going and make a gigantic square as an afghan? xx, Michele Reply Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
