Mikey, I’m making this blanket for the 2nd time for a double bed. I just read the comments and, although most are complimentary, I can’t believe some of the nasty ones! I just want you to know I think you’re a wonderful teacher and I’ve done a lot of your projects. The “nasties” deserve to be ignored.

I’ve made 3 blankets and a pillow using this pattern and I just came back over a year later for a 4th blanket refresher! I love your videos and the way you explain everything. Thanks for being a great guide the last few years! ❤ 2:12

I absolutely love this blanket !! It’s a bit tricky but your video helps so much! I’m just starting my twenty-first blanket with this pattern. I’ve made lots of gifts but also quite a few where my friends buy the yarn and do do the crocheting. I watch your video before I start each one. Thank you so much for clarifying all the tricks and steps! You are a great teacher.

Wonderful pattern Mikey! I don’t know how I missed this one 7 years ago! Will definitely be making it. Thank you for the clear concise instruction! I call it the back bump, lol.😊

Mikey, I made the Hibernation Blanket, but made it long enough for a man that is 6’4”. I love how it turned out, and so does my niece, who wants the same blanket, same colors, just wide enough, and long enough to cover a queen size bed. I am looking to making this blanket eventually for me.I LOVE how you teach! You assume that the crocheter has watched the videos to learn the basics, so your video is not boring to watch. What sets you apart above all other instructions, is that you explain the pattern, and break it down, so that the pattern makes sense. You make it so easy to learn. I watch you first, then I crochet with you, pausing when needed to catch up, and continue again. Within a very short time, I have memorized the pattern, and I sit back and enjoy creating a beautiful gift! When I search YouTube for new ideas, I always look for you teaching what I want to learn. Thank you! Your passion and mastery of crocheting shows! Cindy

Thank you so much for your video. I love the way this blanket looks. My son (who is 8) came up to me as I was watching it, asked me if it was a boy teaching the video, and I said yes. I have tried to teach him that boys crochet too. He was so excited to see you on this video and told me that he will one day learn to crochet like me/you. You are absolutely amazing. Thank you again.

I am in love with this blanket!! I'm new to crocheting, so I couldn't keep up with this project. So, I saved it into my favorites and I plan to come back to it very soon. The thickness of this yarn is perfect for this blanket. I can almost feel how soft and snuggly it is. I've only watched this video once, though. I'm sure if I watch it a few more times, I'll be able to catch onto it and understand it better. I'd love to make this for my MIL for her birthday. She would absolutely love it!! Not to sound morbid, but I'm making blankets for everyone in my family so that they have something to remember me by. My grandmother did that, and I think it's a great way for family to hold onto someone they love for years to come. The one she made me was ruined in a flood. I was devasted. I'm going to be making the same blanket with the same pattern/colors when I have a minute, and it will still make me think of her every day. She's the only reason why I'm doing all this. She's inspired me. I know she'll be proud. Thanks so much for the video!! It's my favorite one, so far. 🦋🌻🐞

[SuperCoyote]

Love this stitch and the pleasant way to teach it, I can follow you a lot easier than other sites, glad I found you.

I made this with the Bernat Extra and 18 mm hook. Turned out so lush and squishy. Perfect for October Halloween movie nights. 🎃 Thank you

[danaschneider]

Just had to let you know I’ve made this blanket about 4 times and it’s wonderful every time!! Thanks!

[PDandV]

Using this video I've already made 2 blankets with this stitch and am in the process of making me third! I love the yarn, love the stitch, and love how easy this is to make!

[katek]

Made this blanket, it's gorgeous! Made it bigger than directions. Took less than a week and I used self striping yarn and it came out gorgeous.

Watched the video and the pattern seemed easy enough so I got to crocheting and realized a few rows in that the material was starting to ruffle. I counted my stitches and somehow ended up with double what I had started with. Went back to square one and was easily able to figure out where I went wrong. Loved the video and the pattern, just be sure to watch and listen carefully

[jennifermahoney]

Thank you for using a thicker yarn. It makes the demonstration easier to follow.

[PDandV]

I’ve made close to 15 blankets using this pattern and everyone LOVES it! I love love love this pattern! It’s my go to pattern for an easy gift!

[juliacleveland]
