Customer Reviews for Learn to Crochet a Gansey-Style Afghan

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.

Absolutely LOVE this pattern and tutorial! Very easy to follow with Lena! I am now working on my 4th afghan as they do work up quickly and have made wonderful gifts! You won't be disappointed!

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

This tutorial is very helpful. I started with just the directions that came with the kit, but got confused in a few places when the patterns were new to me. After quite a bit of UTube searching, I finally found it, and it has clarified all my confusion. I was really disappointed though, that when I contacted Annnie's customer service site to ask if there was a video or help with my questions, no one ever responded. Big thanks to Lena Skvagerson for her easy to follow instructions. The button to repeat the last 30, 60 or 90 Seconds was a Very Useful feature.

From the free class overview and reading all the reviews I am looking forward to getting started on my Afghan kit.

I'm in the middle of making this afghan. The video is extremely helpful. I like that you can rewind and watch the sections over again. I like the choice of 30, 60 or 90 second rewind. I will look for patterns with video tutorials in the future. I never would have made it using just the written instructions. My only recommendation is to provide links for each row by row number. This would make it easier to get to the right spot on the video. Well done. .

This is a beautiful afghan to make. The video tutorial is super easy to follow, and as someone who is new to crocheting, I appreciated the step-by-step video instruction, and it also taught me how to read the pattern as we went along. This was my first big crochet project and I loved learning all the new stitches and textures. I can't wait to start making another one.
