Wow. Huge basketweave for baby and the yarn used has a unique color pattern. It's not the ordinary yarn used for baby stuff. I wish there was this kind of yarn where I'm located. Cheers.

When you're doing the border do you hdc in the front or back post? Or is it just the stitches above the row?

I'm making this blanket now and I love it so far. The only issue I'm having is that I've already used about 2 1/2 balls of yard and I've only got about 8 inches of blanket done. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I'm working on this blanket right now. It's going to be a gift. It's so much prettier in person. I'm using the combo with lilac in it. Not very difficult and it works up very quickly. (Which is a good thing, because my grandson loves the way it feels and wants one of his own.)

What does " 1 dc in top of turning" mean?

No. The six pertains to the weight of the yarn - how heavy it is. This is a heavy-weight yarn........ Little Cosmo is the name of the yarn to use, and you need 4 balls of that yarn to make the blanket. As to where to find the book about understanding patterns I can't help with that. I do know there are places on the internet that have the information... just do a search for it. Finding the blog is super easy. Just look at the header and click where you see the word blog.

I know this sounds stupid but I dont understand the pattern mostly how to read the supplies. This is 6 of one yarn and 4 little cosmo balls? I saw a book on here about reading/understanding patterns but cant find it. There is a blog? Cant find it. Your site is packed with beautiful work and I am itching to make this. Any advice? I last crochetted 30 years ago...
