  1. THANK YOU FOR THE NEW PATTERN, I’VE MADE MANY OF THE PATTERNS YOU’VE SHARED WITH US AND ALWAYS LOVE THEM!

  2. Hi Elena!
    The Mountain Streams Baby Blanket is just gorgeous! Do you know what the stitch count pattern repeat is, please? I would like to make a larger blanket from this pattern. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talent!

  3. Maybe I didn’t read the pattern correctly, but my blanket is no where close to 36 X 36. I stopped 12 rows before the pattern said to, used the correct hook as stated and this thing is 29 X 42 before I start the white border. If I’d done 87 rows , it would be 50 inches long! I’ve crocheted for 40 years and I’ve never had a pattern off this much. The stripes are fine, so the width is correct as written, but it’s not 36 inches wide.

  4. I made this pattern, there has got to be a mistake in the number of rows to reach a width and length of 36 inches. If you do 88, this blanket will exceed 50 inches in length. If you use the same hook size and yarn listed, you only need to do 48 rows total and then begin the edging.

  5. Thank you for the pattern. I have a question …
    In row 2 it says ch2, Skip 3 stitches, in row 3 it says 3 dc in chain 3 space. Should tow 2 be chain 3 skip 3?
