videos on trims - great idea! I'll add it to my idea list.

It's done on a bulky machine (9 mm).  If you go to a standard machine, use about twice as many stitches & rows.

I made this on my LK150 with Bernats yarn and it turned out beautifully! The people who received it were amazed at what I created. They thought it took an insane amout of time and thought it was hard to make. It has now become one of my favorites to make for baby blankets. Thank you soo much for posting this!!!

Years ago I used to make a blanket much like this but didn't keep the pattern...I've been searching for over a week and finally found yours. Yours is a better technique than what I vaguely remember... Thank you so much for putting this on YouTube...I'm sure I'll be making lots of these in the future... Again ...Thanks!

I was researching trims last night and I did see several different ways to do the pie crust trim, which was different than this trim.

I would love to see you do a trim video. The websites I came across were not very well written and videos can REALLY help!!

I'm working on my one right now and using a Brother 4.5 standard machine. I have a similar yarn from Bernat. I tried at first to go with 120Needles, but found this yarn to be too thick for standard size machine. I started again, using Every Other Needle and 60 stitches. It's coming out about the same dimensions as Diana's blanket and is much quicker than doubling up to 120 stitches per triangle. Tension 7 is about perfect, but I find it needs more weights than Diana used.

Thank you Diana!!! I have read the instructions for this technique several times and just did not "get it" I can't tell you how much I appreciate these wonderful videos.

Bravo!!!!

I love this blanket, it was so easy to put together.

Wow, I finally understand the worm stitch! Can't wait to try this blanket! Was wondering if I use a bulky machine would I just reduce the number of stitches? Thank you Diana you are a blessing!

All of your videos have been very helpful and informative. I made a circle rainbow afghan in crochet when I was a teen, and I will make this one. Lovely job.
