This was challenging and very rewarding. I enjoyed this beautiful pattern and look forward to making many more blankets with it. I highly appreciate the video tutorial.

I am fairly new to crochet and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pattern and class. The video tutorial was very easy to follow and the instructor referring to the written pattern really helped me learn how to read a pattern! The blanket is beautiful and I am looking forward to creating another one! Great project, great class highly recommend.

I love this pattern and video. I will make a few of these. The 4 stars is because the video repeat button function has suddenly disappeared. It was a great help to so see view over again in increments of 30 seconds 60 seconds and 90 seconds. I really hope this gets fixed. I know a lot of people that are making these are disappointed too.

Purchased the kit because I loved the vatiety of the stitches and the great price of the kit. Had trouble with the diamond stitch section videos were no help to my aged brain. Was so thrilled with the Learn to Crochet Style Afghan. The instructor also the designer explainec the process in a simple way and I am now into my third repetition and ordered another kit.I am relatively new to a more complicated pattern and this saved my sanity. Love the frequent Hdc stitches and the feel of the yarn. Learned a few tricks to kerping the 147 stitches where required.The pattern yarn and hook are different than in the kit. First try made a much wider afghan. Went to an I hook and width is 51. Did not want to use H hook since am okay with slightly wider afghan. Think I will have enough yarn for three repeats and maybe 54 length. I crochet tight so am puzzled with this. This video is worth every penney. Thank you, thank you.Cassandra W
