You absolutely rock. Great tutorials. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos
You made my day Debbie! Thanks for taking the time to make this a better world with your sweet words.
Just wanted you to know that I love your patterns. They're a challenge. For being 70 it's keeps my mind working. My goal is to buy all of your books.
Thank you Isabell! I love keeping folks busy with crochet. Don't want anyone to get too bored, right? Wishing you all the best!
I am making this blanket to increase my crochet skills. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial!
Wonderful tutorial! I so appreciate that you give exactly what size yarn, the amount of yarn and the hook size including the letter!!! You start your video with that info then get right into the pattern and instructions. I can't say enough how much I appreciate your style of tutorials. It's so grueling to watch other tutorials that talk through the whole 1st half etc, etc. Also, you explain things so clearly!! I'll watch any video you put out!
TKOrchid thanks for your kind words. I guess homeschooling for 19 years has an effect!😊
I made this throw and it turned out beautifully. I got lots of compliments on it. If I knew how to add a picture I would! Thank you for all of the video instructions, it helped me expand my crochet experience.
day 2 of crocheting this and ive just finished this part! ill have to wait until tuesday to get my 6.5 mm hook in the mail so that i can continue. thank you Bonnie for this incredible series!
So glad you are enjoying this one!😊❤️
I've been in a slump Bonny....lots of yarn and half finished WIPs......then I remembered I had saved this to make one day.....I love it. You are so calming and a great teacher. Thankyou. I am excited again...🥰🥰
I love the way you explain things, you have such a soothing voice ! Thank you so much for making all those patterns accessible to everyone ! 💝
This throw is FANTASTIC!! Thank you for presenting a GREAT tutorial! I am so thankful how you show how to make the stitches and the filming is clear. It’s such a joy when the tutorials are made where everything falls into place by watching what you’re doing. You’re a wonderful teacher.❤️
Thank you Jeanet! Wishing you a wonderful Sunday...
Bonnie, this two years after the video was made but I have to tell you, you are an EXCELLENT teacher!! I have crocheted thread for 20 years but never got the hang of yarn. Your videos are so great! I can't wait to make this afghan for my granddaughters!! Thank you!!!
Awww....thank you LaRee!!
Thanks for your beautiful blankets. And a big thanks for the way you express every row and stitch. You speak slowly, clearly, and understandable. A big yes for you BONNIE from South Africa. Thanks.
Thank you Johanna! I hope to visit your beautiful country some day after the pandemic, Lord willing. Take care.😊❤️
I'm experienced crocheter.. I could make this without your tutorial easily.. I am watching it anyways before bed because sometimes I like watching people crochet. And your video is really relaxing. And sorta feel a like I'm watching myself crochet. . I will say this tutorial is very easy to follow. I feel like as long as a crocheter knows basic stitches.. And can't read patterns or have hard times.. I feel they would be able to follow this and really well and understand everything.. You did a great job
Thank you for your kind words Angela!
@@BonnieBayCrochet I would like to by your pattern I cannot do anything without pattern you did a wonderful job
@@conniecovert492 The pattern is actually available for free (link in description box) from Red Heart Yarns, but please know that I corrected a few minor things with the pattern.
Hello Bonnie
This throw is the first of many I have booked, by you. You are so easy to understand, a nice voice. Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure Chris!
Finished my first throw with a very sticky 1st half and then the whole project fell into place actually it was easy to do. So now I am on to my 2nd in another colour sailing through it ! Thank you for this amazing design and tutorial x .
So glad you enjoyed this one Jimmy! I do have several other designs on my home page.😊❤️
Perfect pace for me with such a relaxing, nightime voice! Thank you xx
During February, Riverside County, CA has a County Fair in Indio. That's next to Coachella, where I live. I just won a big beautiful Blue Ribbon with this afghan, thanks to your great tutorials. I had entered afghans from patterns twice before, and didn't even get an Honorable Mention. I made the first one using this pattern in twenty days in a neutral color, as a wedding gift but this one only took a little over two weeks. Thank you for helping me win another blue ribbon. This was my first Intermediate Level. I see a lot of tutorials but yours are the best!
Awww....thank you for your sweet words Adalia, and CONGRATULATIONS!!! Winning ribbons at the fair are some of my sweetest memories. So glad you won! If you get a chance to post this on my Bonnie Bay Crochet Facebook page, I know it would really encourage others to try the same. (No problem if not.) Blessings.
I've loved this afghan for years and now I'm goung to finally make it for a special granddaughter's wedding gift!
How wonderful Jan! Please share a photo with me at bonniebay@me.com or on my Bonnie Bay Crochet facebook page if you can. I would love to see your work!
BonnieBayCrochet just got started on it. Row 4 in fact. I have until December and will work on it betwern great nephew projects (due November) and Christmas gifts.....as well as my hat donatioms! Whew! It may ne a while but I will send a pic when I'm finished.
What a wonderful tutorial. Thank you Thank you Thank you. I turned to your videos when I needed to. Wish I could post a pic of my final work. Thanks Bonnie
Thank you Bonnie I just have to finish this section one more time and then do the boarder .. I did mine in blue you are a wonderful teacher !!
I made this blanket for my mother who is in long term care it turned out beautiful thank you so much
This is so beautiful 🥰 I am so amazed every time I watch your tutorials. I'm so glad I found your channel!Thank you for sharing this pattern ❣🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is one of the best tutorials I've watched. Great job on your instructions AND clear close ups of where you are placing your hook!! I'm gonna need to make this blanket. I'm still a beginner, I've got the basics down but not all the different stitches that you can do with crochet. So, with your magnificent tutorial, this will be the challenge I need to push me into the advanced beginner category. 😉😄👍
Michelle Nash as long as you know the basic crochet stitches (chain, SC, dc, tr, slip st) and they are reasonably even, you may be ready to give it a go! Definitely not easy, but all based on fundamentals. Blessings to you!
I’ve just started this pattern, and I’m so grateful Bonnie that you have this tutorial. Thank you! It’s a beautiful pattern! I love it! ❤️❤️❤️
I have been looking for someone to follow that does afghan’s!! I’m so glad I finally found you!!!! Yay!!
Welcome aboard Liz! If you need help finding anything on my channel, just let me know.
Just finished this wonderful panel right along with you in blue!!! Beautiful thank you and god bless you my dear
So glad this worked out for you Kaitlynn!
Thank you so much for answering my text. You are correct when you mentioned the two ladies with arthritis and they haven’t stopped crocheting. They are women after my own heart. I can’t stop crocheting, and I agree that not to move my fingers would really stiffen them up. Isn’t the old saying, “use it or lose it?” 😄 I loved seeing you and the fabulous designers at the convention. You won FASTEST FINGERS!!! #1... I’m going to say it again, that I just learn so much from you by watching your videos. They are GREAT! I can see the stitches that you’re showing, where to put the next stitch etc. Your videos are always so enjoying to watch. By the way, your daughter looks beautiful!!! She’s a mini me of you!😍😍... I only had one daughter and needle work is not for her. Very sad.😞 At any rate, I will keep watching your channel and hope to make “The Tree of Life” Afghan some day. Thanks again Bonnie.🙏✝️
Thank you for your kind reply Jeanet! So glad you could make it to Portland. I am so thankful that I can still crochet too. After that crochet contest I was overwhelmed to remember how God gave me my life (and hands/arms) back about 14 years earlier following spinal cord surgery. I never dreamed that I would still be able to crochet at all before that. The glory is all His! I can't do anything without His help, period.
BonnieBayCrochet if it wasn't for these videos I could of never made this for my Mom for Christmas...so a BIG thank you for your help!
My pleasure! I love your CZcams name!😊😊😊❤️
Just learning chrochet for 4 year's now starter and love this tutorial blanket.
I’m about to make this gorguss blanket as a wedding gift and I’m so PLEASED you have made these videos.. thank you so much. They seem very clear. I’m super excited now 💕
Your instructions are AWESOME and the camera is in the perfect place for us to see everything. I don't have 11 balls of yarn but am making the different sections all in blue. I especially liked your way to count the 183 in groups of 5. So many times I need to recount and if I had done it by your way of the 5, I wouldn't need to recount. This is such a beautiful throw. I thought looking at it that the arrows would be complicated but they aren't. Just started today and I am on row 8. Am very eager to finish it. Thanks again.
Thanks for your kind, encouraging words Judith! I wish you the very best!
Thanks for your sweet words Judith! I wish you much success on your throw. Please post a photo to my Bonnie Bay Crochet Facebook page when you are done (or even in progress is fine)! I would love to see!
This video just popped up! I can't wait to finish my current project so I can start on this! I've already saved all the videos and pattern. Thank you Bonnie! Sooo beautiful!!! :)
KRISTINA ZALZAL my pleasure!😊
❤🧶 LOVE watching you! Your tutorials are so helpful and inspiring. Beautiful patterns!
Bonnie, thanks for doing the tutorials. I found one for the cable afghan and finally understand WHERE the stitches go in cable patterns. While looking for Valentine projects I found this pattern and thought, I don't understand the use of different hooks within one afghan. But, that looks like my Bonnie pattern, I wonder if there is a tutorial, and here you are! Kisses😘😘😘.
Ok miss Bonnie, lol, i made it through the tree of life afghan. Let me tell you that you do an absolute wonderful job in teaching. Doing this one next. I donate any i make to local nursing home where my dad was before his passing. I got to know a lot of the residents there and they absolutely love them. Thank you for all the hard work and beautiful patterns you do. It makes so many happy. 💖
Thank YOU Angela for caring and loving the residents of the nursing home. So very sorry to hear about your dad, but so glad you are still reaching out to his friends there. I know how hard it is lose your Dad. I miss mine so much and it seems the older I get the more I understand him. Keep up the wonderful work!
Will be 3 years in December. He has a lot of health problems and in the end it was time. Just glad i was there to hold his hand and say goodbye.
@@angelagrimm6282 That's what it's all about. Being there for one another.
I just discovered you by accident and what a lovely accident!! Love this throw but am so grateful that you do the videos too. You show everything with a great camera angle, you explain thoroughly but still give that encouragement. Thank you, thank you, thank you, great job, I'm a follower now!
Welcome aboard Janice!😊❤️
I have completed this pattern and it is was a joy to crochet along with you. It is beautiful.thankyou so much
My pleasure Sandra! So glad you liked this one.
You’re my new favorite. Love your videos because they are clear and easily understood. This is going to be my next throw!❤
...by the way I'm going to make this again once I figure out who is a very special, deserving person. Thank you again for these wonderful tutorials for the gorgeous throw ❤️
My pleasure Michele!😊❤️
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial. I searched the web and found the written pattern and fell in love with it. Though I consider myself an experienced crocheter, I was a little intimidated by the instructions. I was going to try it anyway. I then found the tutorial on you tube. You do a great job of explaining the stitches and how to proceed. I've just finished Video #1 and am moving on to # 2. I love your helpful hints. They really do help. Thanks again for taking the time to make these videos. On to row 10.
I honestly am at a loss to understand why anyone would dislike this ( or any) of your videos. You are definitely one of the best crochet teachers online- clear, well paced, easy to understand. 🧶❤️
Thank you Mrs.N! 😊❤️❤️❤️ There are a lot of unhappy people in the world. Sometimes when folks are learning something new they can get frustrated and have to blame someone, and I’m a good target (always the teacher’s fault) once in a while. 😫😬😬😬
I plan on starting this very soon!!! I’ll be gifting it as a wedding gift. I can’t wait! I’ve watched all the videos already
I loved this pattern and video so much that I am making it as a baby blanket for Project Linus. Some little baby will get this that really needs it. Thank you for such a beautiful project.
What a wonderful way to bless a little one KG! Crocheters like you make this world such a better place!
Thank you, so very kind.
Hi this road is so beautiful and I try to do that it’s a little hard for me but I’m trying thank you so much for you teaching us in a very good 🎉❤❤❤
Beautiful blanket, even better tutorial!! Thankyou for sharing.
Really like the Aran Blanket. You do a super job as always on your tutorial! Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
I never comment online, but must this time! When I was a kid my mom showed me basic crochet stitches, but I never really got into it. This year I while on furlough due to COVID I decided to try a crochet project. Fast forward I came across your Colorful cables Afghan pattern and I’m happy to share that I just finished and it looks awesome. You made it fun and easy to follow! I’m now working on the Aran hearts 💕 and wanted to tell you that you have a Follower for life! Thank you! 😘
Thank you Juanita! You've just made my day so much better with your kindness!
@@BonnieBayCrochet could you please send me a copy of your pattern for arrow, popcorn, diamond hearts blanket. I tried to download the pattern but was unable to. Than
@@janrutkowski8514 Please check to see if this link works: www.yarnspirations.com/red-heart-aran-hearts-throw/RHC0502-021629M.html. I am the designer, but sold the rights to this many years ago. Seems they updated the pattern and dropped the name of the designer from the new pdf. Oh well! Lesson learned.
Acabo de conocerla hoy y su trabajo me tiene totalmente impresionada!
Desde hoy es una inspiración para mí, gracias por compartir su tiempo y conocimiento!🥰
Oh M G! I just love all you made. I am not even done with the other one and now this. ❤️😍
Love this video. I followed your pattern and made a beautiful house warming gift. I used cotton yarn in red. Thanks
That sounds so lovely Bill!

I loved your Throw designs…..
Hola, que hermosa cobija 😍 no hablo ingles pero seguire el paso a paso de tus manos y espero me quede igual de bello al tuyo 😃 muchas gracias por compartir tu hermoso talento 🙏😊
I am a newbie at crocheting period. Only been crocheting for about a month and a half. I'm not quite ready for something like this but tbh you make this seem doable even for a newbie like me. I'm writing this video down along with YOUR channel name and once I'm a little more comfortable and can get the colors I want I do plan to try this. Subscribing to you as well..Tyfs God bless you.
I also have many beginner level projects on my channel should you be interested here: czcams.com/play/PLoIugZBYOS0UThLQMWAl_UIy_royIGLNE.html

Baye Baye Elaine
That's great Elaine! I totally understand the addiction!!🥰
This is one of my all time favourites!! I think I've made 4 at least. Grey and cream was particularly beautiful. They all turned out lovely
Your tutorial is amazing Bonnie. Thank you for your attention to every detail. Thanks also for answering my previous post. I have subscribed to your channel and will add this afghan to my list.
TRY TO WATCH THE COMMERCIALS ALL THE WAY THROUGH.. THEY DON'T GET PAID IF WE DON'T WATCH THE ADS COMPLETELY! I JUST FOUND THAT OUT! THEY TAKE THE TIME TO TEACH US THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS HELP THEM GET PAID FOR IT!!
You are teaching so clear. Thanks it is beautiful. It's on my to do list
You make it look so easy! Your work is lovely 🥰
Thanks Jean!
I did it. I did it.
It’s an amazing blanket. Thank you so much for the pattern and the videos
My pleasure Rachael!! If you can, I would love to see a photo! The link to my Facebook page is in the video description should you wish to share with other crocheters.

Thank you so very much Kaitlynn! He is the reason as you already know. Can't do anything without my Lord & Savior!
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I am impressed! You do it simply enough for various experience levels without dragging everything down. I'm going to make this afghan and then try more of your videos!
Welcome to my channel Christian Warrior Academy! His Blessings to you...
I'm in love with this pattern you designed. I started the blanket just the other day. I'm using the color Linen by: I Love This Yarn. Your instructions are very well explained. Thanks.
So glad to hear that this is going well for you Cindy! I really wish that there was a Hobby Lobby near me. Merry Christmas!
@@BonnieBayCrochet lol. I also wish for a Hobby Lobby. It's a 3 hour drive from Glendive to Billings. I ordered on line. ;)
new fan and newbie here Thanks so much Your teaching is so smooth
Sweetpea welcome to my channel!😊
Thank you so very much for this video. I have started making this beautiful pattern.
You make it look look so easy and I am excited to see if mine is as beautiful as yours. Thank you.
I bet you can! Give it a go and I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
Es tan hermoso tu trabajo. Gracias.
I am glad i found your channel i seen this pattern and wanted to do it but i was afraid to try it because i have problems still reading patterns so with this video i can hopefully do it thank you its nice finding CAL videos
Welcome aboard Dora!
Thank you for your teaching I love it
Hi Bonnie catching up on your tutorials this is beautiful💕
Love that you doing this Video...can’t wait to do this pattern..
💐💐💐Thanks a lot for your nice way to explain all the way long this particularly nice throw... Greetings from Germany🍀🍁🌻
My pleasure Crochet Mama! I'll be headed in your direction tomorrow across the pond!
Thank you for replying below Bonnie. I will keep going and fingers crossed it will work out ok xx
I am getting my yarn tomorrow, I will be making a king size Afghan with it. I hope it works out. I have the mental picture in my head. Thank you so much for the beautiful easy to follow videos
Jacline Doucet I would love to see this when you are finished!
BonnieBayCrochet It will be my pleasure
Row 8. It seems to be correcting itself. I started it over this last time. I determined my beginning chain was too tight so I loosened it. Helped tremendously.
Cynthia Cochran I’m so glad this seems to be working better!
I like your tutorial style. 👍 if you have one curtain for the kitchen tutorial please? Thanks
Sorry Norma! I haven't designed any curtains yet. Crochet World Magazine does occasionally have patterns like this if you want to check with their site at Annies.com.
I keep dropping stitches, and pulling it all out and starting again!
Especially with the Arrow pattern.
Somehow I went from 182 to 165 stitches with the first row of single crochets after the 1st arrow row.
I can’t see why.
I’m ready to give it up.
So sorry to hear you are having issues with this Tina. It is easy to skip stitches accidentally. Are you skipping more than 3 for the double crochets? That could easily be the issue.
@@BonnieBayCrochet Thank you for responding, I meant the type the Diamond Pattern. I am missing stiches after completing row 36.
@@tinar.751 The tendency on this stitch is to skip more than 2 behind the 2 treble crochets on the lattice rows.
@@BonnieBayCrochet how many diamonds should there be on the fist row? It would be helpful to see a picture of the completed project. thank you.
@@tinar.751 You should have 45 arrows.
You're amazing am from egypt and i am big fan thank for your lovly work
Welcome aboard! I would so love to visit your country some day!
This pleasure to me
Simply gorgeous! Thank you so much Bonnie. You make it seem so easy that i'm definitely gonna try it. Would you tell me please how many chains do I need to make it even longer? Are you using even number of chains plus 1? Thank you in advance
You are a godsend. You have made this much easier. Thanks
I have just completed this video 😁 .. it was easy to follow and looks pretty good I think. Video 2 here I come ... 😛
Deborah irons that’s great!!❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful. I need to make this pink afghan.
I love the heart.. I'm going to do it for my mom, She losing her battle with cancer I dont know how much time she have . But I'm going to try to do it as quick as possible if I can't do it the throw maybe something smaller.
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Prayers for you and your family.
Your tutorials are amazing x
Absolutely gorgeous 😍
