I saw it and I turned my head on its side to look at the project and thought, can that actually be done that way? It literally checks my boxes off curiosity. CHECK CHECK CHECK and CHECK!

I have the working notes on how it was done but I haven't taken a deep dive yet but this one is going to have many people saying "wha. wha... how did you do that?" 

Once this incredible design is released, I bet it's going to capture the imagination and people are going to say... What's that pattern!?

Videos will be soon made for this as the clock counts down for later into spring. Once we have more details to share, I will do that! Don't forget about me. I cannot wait to dive into this bad boy! It has me squealing in my chair here. It's yummy!

        I have done this blanket a couple of times. I believe the count is off. It says to chain 157, then dc in the 4th from hook. Leaving you with 154. But you need 155 to make the pattern work. Did anyone else find this?

        When you crochet 4th ch from the hook, it eliminates only 2 chains (count wise) as the 3rd ch away is the base of the first st.

        Example, try chaining 9. DC 4th ch from the hook and across the chain. You end up with 7 dc as the first ch you are skipping counts as a st.

        So if you chain 157 minus 2 = 155. As the skipped chain counts as the first dc.

    First I want to say I love this CAL, learning so much, feels so good to master a new stitch Secondly, I’ll be doing this one again for sure! I’ve been making notes on my paper copy for next time, printed out the new revision this morning, and transferred my notes over. Question though, on week 3, row 9, in the written pattern - at the end of the row, it’s missing the Ch 3 before skipping the dc and ch 2 sp. I am not really good at reading graphs although I’m sure learning to with this one!

    Mikey, Week 2 the written words don't match the charts for the beginning dcs and ending dcs in rows 7, 8, 9 & 10. The charts are correct, the written needs updating.

      Yes, it does. We are working diligently behind the scenes. Another revision should be coming out soon. Weeks 3 and 4 need a small rewrite in several sections. The diagrams are correct.

        I found a few more, week 2 round 11 should start with ch1, 1 sc in each of first 2 DC instead of 3 and end with to last 3 DC instead of 2 so that you sc in last 3 dcs. Week 3 row 2 starts with ch3 I DC in each of next 3sc but should read 3dc.

    Hi Mikey,
    I love this pattern and just got started yesterday. I noticed some issues with the pattern.
    1. The gauge is in sc but the pattern is in dc.
    2. When calculating finished size using the stitch count and gauge, the size does not match what 8s listed in the pattern.
    3. The very first photo seems wrong. The group of dc on the right has 6dc and should only have 5. The group of dc in the middle only has 4 and should be 5.

        Is it a good idea to practice *all* the ways the waterfall stitch can be done? Not just the double crochet version but the hdc version?

    Would you please be able to provide the actual yardage you used per colour to make this. I often find if I buy based on the number of balls and skein yardage listed in the required material, I over buy when buying smaller skeins/balls. As a result, I end up with a ton of leftovers. For example caron simply soft. If I buy based on yardage I am sure to have lots of waste left at the end. Thanks!

      The cool thing about this is you can go at your own pace. No need to actually stitch along to someone else's timeline. Each week the instructions and video are posted and you work according to your own schedule. I've only done one, but I did most of my stitching late at night and I learned so much. I think you should jump in and do it! You'll love it.

        I don't have the information but you can look up the ball and figure that out. 2 balls of Caron One Pound each are 812 yards, and then 2 balls of Lake Mist that are each 659 yards and 1 ball of Sunset that is 659 yards.

      This pattern doesn't have a repeating to simplify down. The different stitchwork used doesn't equally divide down as the counts for each of the types of patterns vary from one to the other.

    I picked up crocheting when my husband was put into hospice. He passed away 3 short months later and crochet has been my therapy. Along with Mikey!! Thank you for all your help the past 2 years. I am so excited to start another CAL with you all.

    YAY!!!! I have come to love CALs because they give me the motivation to actually finish a project in a set amount of time. I have finished more afghans and throws in the last few years by keeping on schedule with the crowd than I ever did in the 35+ years previous. (Started many, finished few).
    Plus I love to learn all the new stitches & techniques. I can safely say I have advanced from a basic beginner level to experienced Intermediate just by doing CAL's over the years.
    Thank You!

    I love the stitch alongs. I always learn something new & create something that I never thought I could. Mikey’s videos are the absolute best! Thank you for all these wonderful patterns. In spite of stupid Covid, I’m having the time of my life. I’ve become a yarn addict too…. But don’t tell my husband ok?

        Super excited for Spring's CAL! I am on my fifth one currently. I am working on trying to "stay on schedule", thought life gets in the way sometimes...ok, most times. They do make wonderful gifts!

      I use to enjoy them, but lately (in these pandemic times) in feels like we're not given enough lead time to get yarn. I typically have to order mine online and by the time I find a supplier that has what I want and get the order placed it can take a couple months to arrive.
