  1. I clicked on the link and it doesn’t work. It takes me to a page that tells me the pattern isn’t there.

    1. Sorry Susan, link was broken. I fixed it. Thank you for your comment.

  2. I am using different colors each change to use up left over wool. To those complaining about the size of the holes. Use a thinner thread and adjust the needle size. The holes will be smaller. I like it the way it is because I can move along at a faster pace. Thanks for sharing this pattern. I do these blankets to donate to different causes in need.

  3. I finally got the hang of this pattern thanks to you… Your video helped alot.. Thanks..

  4. I May have a silly question…but how did you finish this blanket off? Is it a row of single crochets in white then again in grey?

    I’ve just finished everything up to the very end! Thanks so much for your help!

  5. Can you tell me what yarn was used for the rainbow blanket? Thanks so much!
