      Beautiful!! Is there a formula for the number of stitches per row, if we want to make a bigger or smaller size, or use non-bulky yarn? Is that what the "Stitch Multiple (17+2)" means? Thanks for another amazing (FREE) pattern!!!! <3

        Hi Heidi! And thank you! Yes, that's what the stitch multiple is for. 🙂 Or an even easier way is to use the long chain method - there's a tutorial at https://www.mooglyblog.com/long-starting-chains-made-easy/

        Exactly what I was thinking, Nancy! I'd like to swatch this stunning pattern in several yarn weights to find the perfect one for a shawl. Ooh... this pattern would make an absolutely gorgeous heirloom christening blanket done up in a soft baby worsted or dk yarn too.

        Thanks for another awesome free pattern!

      This is beautiful! I've got a wedding to go to next weekend and I'm thinking this would be a fabulous gift. I'll probably make it just a little bigger and in super bulky yarn it should work up fast. Thanks!

      Hi Tamara! I'm making this up in a super squishy yarn but have a question about row 3. After the last ch 4, the next sc in the ch-3 space skips over 3 dc but I don't see that mentioned in the pattern. I think I've worked row 2 correctly but am worried that I've gone off pattern somehow.

        Hello Maria! It sounds like you missed the instructions after the last rep: "rep from * finishing last rep at **, skip the next 3 dc, sc in the last st, turn. (48 dc, 7 sc)" 🙂

      2nd question- On Row 5 the repeat has us go from the last ch4, skip the sc and back to ch4, so we are chaining 8 in total there but on Row 6 this 8 chain isn't mentioned in the instructions which makes me think I'm missing a sc somewhere?

        In Row 4 you have a chain of 8 (treated as a dc and ch 5), but in Row 5 there aren't any chains that long. It sounds like maybe you missed one of the sc sts in there: "... 3 dc in next ch-5 sp, ch 4,** skip the next sc, sc in next sc, ch 4, skip the next sc; rep from * finishing last rep at **, sc in 3rd ch of ch-8, turn."

      Hmm, I'm not seeing the comment I made about Row 5 ch 8's that occur on every repeat. If it didn't come through, let me know and I'll re-ask the question for that row. Thank you!

      I hope these comments are helpful, I've always enjoyed working with your patterns! On Row 7 after the last ch5 and before the repeat back to sc in the ch-4 sp, there should be the skipping of 4 dc again I believe. (so twice in that row, right?)

        Thank you so much! I hope my replies are helpful too! It sounds like a chart might be in order for this one. 🙂
        Row 7 did have another typo - it should begin with a ch-5 rather than ch-3, and I'll fix that now as well. And yes, you were right on the skipping, I'll add that as well. 🙂

      I love this afghan and would like to try it someday, but was wondering if it would be possible to use regular worsted weight yarn to make this instead of the bulky yarn? If so, how many would I need to chain up to make an afghan, what is the repeat count? Thank you very much for any help you can give me in figuring this out.

        Hi Penny! The number chained will depend on the specific yarn chosen and your gauge, but you can use the long chain method for an easy start - https://www.mooglyblog.com/long-starting-chains-made-easy/ To help you estimate, the stitch multiple/repeat count is listed above under the hook and yarn info. 🙂

      Good evening! I read through all of the comments and didn't see my question already asked. The pattern calls for 8 balls of yarn. Approximately how many went into the body and how many into the edging? Yes, I'm working with a different yarn and have a finite amount in this dye lot. I'm ok with less repeats if the main pattern, i just don't want to be caught out with the edging. Thank you very much.

        Hello Eowyn! I'm afraid I don't recall exactly, but I'd estimate at one ball for the edging rounds.
