"I have always loved the look of the Broomstick Lace and this Sweet Lace Blanket is just beautiful showing off the lacy fabric. The written pattern is a very basic pattern for doing broomstick lace and is easy to understand if you have done the stitch before. I'm not sure how big of a blanket this pattern will do, it doesn't say. But if I know it is done in a set of 5 stitches. I'm going to make this one as written and see how big it is. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern."

"I love learning new stitches and this Trinity Crochet Stitch is new to me too. The written pattern is great with very clear pictures to help you understand the written pattern. This stitch pattern will make a nice warm tight cloth. There are so many ideas running through my head for this stitch, like hats, cowls, blankets, slippers, the list goes on. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet tutorial."

"I made a baby afghan with this stitch. It was so easy after I did a row. It looks much more difficult that it is. Thanks for the video. I love using new (for me) patterns."

"With fingers crossed I'm hoping I can make this cute Owl's Wisdom Crochet Baby Blanket. I have never had a corner to corner pattern work of me. I'm not sure why? The down loadable pattern is will written and is a step by step pattern. So I'm hoping it will work. My daughter is a Owl lover and I hope I can do this one for her. I down loaded the written pattern and will be trying this. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern."
