My mother passed away in February of this year. She loved crocheting just as much as I do. She was in the process of making a blanket for my daughter, hook still in the stitches when we found it...after some googling, it was this pattern. I had no idea how I was going to finish it, as I'd never done this type of stitch before. I'm almost 100% positive that this was the video she watched to learn it. I now have full confidence that I can finish the blanket she started.
First let me say I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your mother. But what an amazing piece of herself she left behind, for your daughter to have such a loving mother and grandmother and that she will have a blanket lovingly crafted by both of you . I hope you were able to gain the confidence needed and completed the beautiful blanket ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The most important lesson I learned today from you was the way you moved the yarn so it doesn't get tangled. I am a lefty, so this always happens to me. I'll try it your way and I am sure now I will always have no tangles. THANKS!!!!
I worked up a baby blanket in a small chunky apricot and white yarn with this pattern. I didn’t change colors but I just kept with the same pattern throughout the blanket. When I was finished it looked just like a vintage Chanel suit. It’s gorgeous.
Thank you for making something that looks so complicated be so easy. I absolutely love this pattern. And your hint about keeping your yarn separate, pure genius.
Thanks for this tutorial. I never realized before that at no time are all 3 colors used in the same horizontal rows or groups. I’d always just assumed that there were all 3 colors in each grouping of blocks horizontally. Makes trying a Gingham blanket so less intimidating now. I’ve already got Black, Gray and White (or Dusty Pink) yarn on hand to try this out. Or, Navy Blue, Orange and White colors for my NFL team. Looking forward to both options when I finish up a few (3 WIP’s)!! 😂🤣😂😉. Thanks again for the concise tutorial.
I love doing the griddle stitch and I really love the way it looks in this pattern! You have a lovely voice and give great instructions. Thank you for sharing with all of us. I can hardly wait to start my black, grey, and white!
Started this afghan, I find that out of the 10 stitches in row of one block, counting stitches numbered {1,3,5,7,9} are single crochets. The even numbers {2,4,6,8,10} are double crochets. Hope that this helps everyone. I just love this pattern. Be sure not to pull your yarn to tightly when carrying your second block yarn, it could distort the block. A measuring tape is useful to measure your blocks vertically and horizontally to make them perfectly square. A test swatch is essential for making sure that you have perfect squares. Remember that everyone crochets at different tension Strengths. Some people crochet loosely while others crochet moderately tight others crochet very tight just depending on each person's tension.
Obrigada pela explicação, sou do Brasil 🇧🇷, e não sei inglês, o Google traduziu para mim. Beijos no seu coração ♥️💋❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Jesus abençõe imensamente 🙌
Absolutely love all your Gingham patterns and have been greatly inspired! One thing that I've found makes my life so much simpler is to carry the loose end along with the color change yarn. This way I don't have all those ends to deal with when I'm done with my blanket.
I discovered your videos showing the gingham blankets and I’m hooked! (Pun intended) 😃 I’m on my 3rd blanket and can’t wait to start a new one! Thank you for these videos. You are an inspiration!
I don't know why, but every time I watch one of your videos, you make the yarn look so smooth, I want to go out and buy more yarn lol. I must be addicted!! Haha love you videos!!
I have been working on this afghan since you posted. Same colors too. I absolutely love this stitch/pattern. I am so happy with how my afghan is coming along! Thank You for sharing your awesome talent with us!
I am just discovering you now!! WOW!! Love this stitch; made a baby blanket for my new grand niece using this stitch but have NEVER seen the gingham before. BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you!! 🧶 Happy crocheting💜💜💜
Thank you so much for the pattern and instructions. Your instructions were very clear and concise. It was a very easy blanket to work with. Thanks again.😊
I have nearly completed this project in blues and white. I know others have stated they didn't like seeing the carried yarn running through, but I DO like the look. It looks "homey" to me. I'll post on your Facebook group page after finishing. Thank you for providing a free pattern and tutorials for your lovely gingham baby afghans!!! This was such a fun project! ❤❤❤
Will try this one after I get my sc one finished. Yes, I am one of those who have asked if I am doing something wrong because I can see specks of yarn being carried. I actually really love the look. Can't wait to try this one. Thank you so much for a video well done!
This is a really good technique. The possibilities are endless because the color combinations are endless. I have a temperature palette afghan coming up that I am thinking about using it on. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you for sharing. I have a grey WIP and your tips are being helpful. Don't you just love this yarn! Somehow it manages to be soft and so warm yet also cooling for the warmer nights.
This is a great pattern. I love the texture. I am working it just a bit differently with blocks of white, cranberry and aqua with the aqua being the medium color. I took the colors from a Christmas placemat with a little red truck on it. You make it so easy to follow!
Hi! I've justo started a baby blanket un lugar blue,light creen anda white🤗I'm absolutely un love with this pattern,thanks You so much for teaching us un that lovely way! Regards from Buenos Aires,Argentina😊
Tiffany this is a beautiful pattern the colors are just gorgeous thank you for sharing thank you for all you tutorials but most of all thank you for you God bless
I'm absolutely in love with this stitch/pattern. I can't wait to finish the blanket I'm working on so I can start one of these! Thank you so much for sharing.
I love this video. I have never crocheted the Griddle Stitch before and never done a Gingham pattern. I am going out and get some yarn. You explained this technique very well and was easy to follow. I have some baby yarn and want to make one using pink, lilac and white. Will let you know how it turns out. I am knitting and crocheting for my local hospital. They need children size afghans and lap afghans and prayer shawls and baby things.
Finally someone that wraps their yarn correctly....I was shown tgat was 40 years ago....you cqn make the loop stitch easier with this hold...anyhow...great video
The colors are very pretty together... I've never done Afghan like this before and I'm excited to learn how to do it thank you for your tutorials are very helpful
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I’m adapting this to make a set of dish towels and cannot wait to see the final product. Excellently explained and very easy to follow.
What type of yarn are you making your dishtowels out of?? I'm wanting to make a large rectangle table cloth but not sure what type of yarn (i.e. 100% cotton or something different). I am wanting it to be machine wash and dry able. What would you recommend?? Thank you!! 🥰
Hi Tiffany! I just wanted to tell you that all of your crochet patterns are so perfectly stitched and beautiful!🌼 You reach for the more intricate stitches which is what makes your work stand out above the other instructors. It also shows your talent as a yarn artist. I feel like instead of a movie critic, I'm like a "yarn instructor critic" I can't help it, I just notice things in that way. Sooo, if I was writing a column for crochet instructors on CZcams, you would be at number 1 in the above the others in many categories...in my opinion. Anyway, I love this gingham blanket. I will have to try it sometime...right now, I get confused carrying up yarn on the end of a row! I can't imagine doing it in the middle of the row.. *but* with your teaching skills, I know I could do it, I would just have to stay very focused bc I get confused very easily😂 Anyway, I love that gold color Soo much. Also the sunshine as yellow is my favorite color. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!🇺🇲🇺🇸🌼♥️🌼

Beautiful story and meaningful for your daughter. The story needs to be written as that blanket will be an heirloom ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss
Loads of ❤, I have learned crocheting from my mother as well, she always motivates me and keep guiding with new, bright ideas. 🥰😍
So sorry about your loss.
I tend to use a size larger for the base chain because I generally make it tighter and loosen up as I stitch the rows.
The most important lesson I learned today from you was the way you moved the yarn so it doesn't get tangled. I am a lefty, so this always happens to me. I'll try it your way and I am sure now I will always have no tangles. THANKS!!!!
I agree that her voice is sooo soothing - and her teaching is great!
I worked up a baby blanket in a small chunky apricot and white yarn with this pattern. I didn’t change colors but I just kept with the same pattern throughout the blanket. When I was finished it looked just like a vintage Chanel suit. It’s gorgeous.
It's so interesting how the same stitch patterns can often have more than one name! I grew up knowing this pattern as the Lemon Peel stitch. :)
Me too!
Thank you for making something that looks so complicated be so easy. I absolutely love this pattern. And your hint about keeping your yarn separate, pure genius.
I love those gold and cream shades together, so pretty.

Finally a way to crochet in colors without cutting the yard. Thank you.
I'm so obsessed with the Gingham Pattern. Thank You so much for your clear details from your tutorials. Love them so much!
I think the difference is SimplySoft, other than the yarn being pulled along! It is beautiful. Thanks
Thank you for making something that looks so complicated but so easy. I absolutely love this pattern

Thank's so much , always for your patience as teachers of the craft. And god bless the Navy soliders at sea ..it's calming.
Do you end up using more yarn by using a bigger hook than when you use a smaller hook like a G
I am just discovering you now!! WOW!! Love this stitch; made a baby blanket for my new grand niece using this stitch but have NEVER seen the gingham before. BEAUTIFUL!! Thank you!! 🧶 Happy crocheting💜💜💜

I saw a different tutorial for this and I was sooo lost! Thank you so much for the step by step instructions! You made it so easy to follow.
I'm just trying this for the first time and I see why you use a smaller gauge for the bottom chain. Very nice pattern, going to try it for a blanket.
I have a hard time keeping I piece straight. You do a wonderful job, thanks
Oh I feel like I can use this to return to crocheting! Thank you so much. 😀
