Just finished this blanket and has excelled my expectations. Absolutely beautiful. Finish. It’s being donated to a special charity for babies born sleeping. I’m actually stunned at the beauty of it

[juliamansour]

Thank you so much. I am recovering from surgery and have just seriously taken up crochet 5 weeks ago. This is marvellous. Your explanations are clear and easy to understand and now we will have lots of blankies for our pregnant mums at work. And our babies that go to sleep… So so pleased. Thanks a bunch. Hugs.

[lisawells]

Love this tutotial. Your directions are clear, and your voice is so soothing! I'm about 1/4 finished with my project, and have had a few friends ask for the video tutorial already. I've gladly shared your link. Thank you for all you do!

[prairieflower]

Just working on this on 7 & 8 repeats thank you so much...what a beautiful pattern. Very easy to follow, you explained very clearly. Baby boy arriving in February 2024...gifting it to the new first time mom....thank you so much

[sy.]

Thanks! The pattern looked difficult but with your clear instructions on the video and your patience in demonstrating, it is 1, 2, 3! I’ve finished the foundation rounds and the repeats of 7 and 8 will not b a problem for me! Ty very much! Take care!

I just finished my first granddaughter's baby blanket in less than 2 weeks. Grandbaby will be here approximately Thanksgiving. I'm so proud of my work of love. I did my blanket in reverse of yours; bright pink (RedHeart Yarn color Perfectly Pink) in the center, added 3 more rows all around, and the same pink for the outer 2 rows (border) and the pretty bow. I used white for the stripe where yours is pink. I wish I could show you what I did. It's gorgeous. Thank you for explaining so clearly! This was an easy blanket to create. My next mission is the baby booties and baby shoes, then I will make the bonnet. Thanks again!!!

I’ve been crocheting since I was 7yrs old - I’m in my 50’s now. Your instructions are beautifully and wondrously very clear. I’ve had difficulty in following some patterns; usually preferring charts as I’m a visual kind of gal. Your voice is also calming to listen too. It’s nearly midnight when I’m watching this; I just got into my wool stash to see what I have to make this beautiful shell stitch baby blanket. Thank you for sharing. 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺 & 🐶Onega the Cavalier🐶

You are THE BEST YouTube tutor EVER!!!! We are adding two newbies to our tribe this December (my daughter and my niece are expecting) so I’m working on these now!! Thank you for the inspiration!!

[mrsjr]

Fantastic video, so easy to follow. I love the way you explain things slowly and you don't rush. Thank you for sharing, I am definitely going to be making this blanket 😊

[LizKum]

Thank you for the beautiful pattern & detailed tutorial. I’ve done one already for my grand nephew & currently doing another for my second grand daughter. God bless

[crayker]

Great video, really easy to follow. Thank you

[kristinap]

I LOVE patterns like this! It's so easy to memorize the pattern repeat, so it can be done sitting on the couch watching TV or anywhere you want to take it. And just like the accompanying dress, it comes out absolutely gorgeous and delicate. Another home run! Thanks, Amanda. 😊💕😊💕

[kimberlydscott]

You just gained a new subscriber. Thank you so much for this the clarity and just your angle of how we’re supposed to work in whatever stitches were supposed to go into when I tell you, I will be following your channel from now on. Thank you so much.

[scotcraftdiva]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial, easy to follow by your guidance and camera shots. I have a knitting brain! I have tried to follow patterns but can’t so along with the fact I can’t read music or maps I have added crochet patterns, even went to classes..but with people like yourself that take the time and trouble to show us it opens up a whole new experience. I love crochet now and have been able to give gifts which people appreciate but I have also encouraging others to try by following on you tube, These videos help tremendously in so many ways. I have tried a sample and it’s beautiful on now to make a blanket.
No housework getting done today and the adults in the house can feed themselves! Thank you very much again for the excellent tutorial.

[auntiem]

Stunning, I’ve never seen shell stitch in the round before, I think it’s going to be a favourite. A beautiful heirloom design. 🧶🙏🏼🇦🇺

[Raffe]

This tutorial is so easy to follow. I’m still quite new to crocheting but this was a succes on the first try. My friend is expecting twin boys in the summer and I’m going to make them each a shell blanket using this pattern 😍 thank you for the great video 🌸

[beverlywilliams]

I am making two of these for my twin granddaughters arriving in November. Thanks to your excellent tutorial and video, the first one turned out beautifully! I took a break and made the matching baby bonnet....it was so much simpler than it looks, but again, you are THE BEST teacher on youtube as far as I'm concerned! Thank you, thank you!

[ltown]

When I found this video the pattern is beautiful I tried to do this by following the pattern, glad i came back to your video is great tutorial.

[mandimattson]

I just finished this gorgeous blanket. It's so lovely! I used Bernat Forever Fleece and a size 8 hook with the adjustment of a 5 dc shell and it worked up beautifully. Thank you!
