Can we purchase ad-free patterns? If yes, where do we go for it? I would love to make these items but want a paper pattern instead of having to use my phone. Thanks again for your lovely patterns. ❤Hi Amanda, I really enjoy your video tutorials with your calm voice and clear instructions, especially the closeups showing where the ‘same st ‘ should be when starting a new row.You have taught me how to crochet from scratch!However, with the latest bobble st booties, I am finding my stitch count either more or less (by one) at the end of the bobble st row. E.g. I should have 10 st to hdc but I only have 9. So my final st count at the end of these rows isn’t correct. Could I be making a mistake at the start of the row?Appreciate any advice you can give. Many thanks. VeronicaThese are soooo adorable! We are expecting our first grandchild and I can’t stopppp!!! Where can I find the matching blanket pattern?Thank you for these awesome patterns!Super easy pattern. Very clear instructions. My new favorite pattern!!!

I am making sure to do the first sc in the same stitch as stated in the directions and everything goes well, but when done all the toe shaping steps that area looks completely off center.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Love the booties!Finally a pattern with clear instructions and accurate stitch count.
