"Hi, this is Beth Essington for Expert Village. I am going to show you a blanket that I have been working on for a while, it is coming along very nicely and I am really enjoying it. This is a very easy comfortable to work with yarn, it is seventy-five percent wool and twenty-five percent acrylic. It is very durable, very strong you can wash it. It is a great yarn. If you make this blanket twenty years from now you will still have this blanket and it will hold up beautifully and the yarn is very inexpensive. This blanket is a combination of several stitches that we have learned today. As you can see right here, we have two rows of single crochet which we showed you earlier and then up here what it is, is its actually double crochet and it looks like it is complicated but it really isn't. You are basically doing three double crochet and on the fourth one, you will have skipped a stitch at the beginning and you basically are going to pull it over and do it in the first stitch and so it just gives it this real pretty little cross over design. It takes a little bit of time, you have to keep track of your rows and stitches but it is very easy. I think you will really enjoy it and it is a very pretty product when finished."
