1. Hi Estelle, My site has ads so I can share my patterns, tutorials and posts for free. The ads help cover the cost of my hosting for the website. I do not have an ad-free version of this tutorial available. All the best, Rhondda

2. Is there anyway to get a copy of the pattern without the ads?

3. Hi Joanne, This should be a pretty dense fabric – maybe try going down a hook size (or double check on your yarn which size hook is recommended and try that)? If your yarn is finer than mine or if you crochet a bit more tightly it could leave some gaps between the stitch sets. If you are trying to make something a specific size you will need to increase your starting chain to make the size change too if you are working at a different gauge or using a lighter weight yarn. Hope this helps! Rhondda

4. Need some help for some reason my wattle stitch has spaces in it not closed like yours what an I doing wrong ??? Help

5. Very welcome Carmen! It is a pretty stitch 🙂 I hope they love their gifts! Thank you for trying the pattern 🙂 All the best, Rhondda

6. I love this stitch I just found your site and learned it this past week. Great pattern. I am making washcloths and hand towels for myself. And washcloths with homemade soap for family for next Christmas , I always pick a project and make for my family for Christmas. Thank you for sharing. ?

7. Ohhhh pretty !!!! I have to try this ! 🙂

8. It is very beautiful I used bright mix varrigated, the only thing is it uses a lot of yarn. But it’s worth it, keeping it for myself. Will try and send picture when it’s finished I don’t work on it all the time doing other projects. Not very savvy with sending pictures

   Thanks again

9. I bet the afghan is very beautiful Diane 🙂 and relaxing to make! You are most welcome for the stitch tutorials 🙂 Rhondda

10. I love this pattern very easy to do, I am making an afghan with varrigated yarn it is beautiful.

    Thank you
    Diane

11. Hi Katherine 🙂 The full instructions to start are in the post – along with the stitch pattern multiple so you can adjust the size – the square uses this:

    R1: ch 30, beginning in the 3rd ch (Note: the skipped 2 ch sts count as 1 sc) from your hook work: (1 sc, ch 1, 1 dc), skip the next 2 chs; *(1 sc, ch 1, 1 dc) in the next ch, skip 2 chs* and repeat from * to * across ending with 1 sc in the last ch, turn

    Hope this helps,
    Rhondda

12. how do you start out to do a wattle stitch?

13. Hi! My hook is from Furls 🙂 and I LOVE it! They have a few different types of wood available too! Here’s my affiliate link: https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1866551&u=841602&m=116536&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Ffurlscrochet%2Ecom%2Fproducts%2Fblackwood%2Dalpha%2Dseries%2Dwood%2Dcrochet%2Dhook&afftrack= if you want to check them out 🙂 Rhondda

14. OOOOOH, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GORGEOUS EBONY COLOR CROCHET HOOK USED IN THE WATTLE DESIGN PATTERN?

15. OOOOOH, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GORGEOUS EBONY COLOR CROCHET HOOK?

16. Hi Melanie, You begin in the 3rd ch from the hook. So you work the (1 sc, ch 1, 1 dc) in the 3rd chain from the hook. I have reworded it to make it less confusing 🙂 Thank you for pointing out the word “next” was confusing.

    All the best, Rhondda

17. Hi!
    I’m very sorry but I don’t understand exactly where to begin, in the 3rd chain or in the next chain after the 3rd chain.

    It says, “beginning in the 3rd ch from your hook work: *(1 sc, ch 1, 1 dc) in the next ch,”

    Do I work (1 sc, ch 1, 1 dc) in the 3rd chain from hook? Then what stitch is worked into “in the next chain”?
    or
    Beginning in the 3rd ch, work in the next ch (the 4th chain) (1 sc, ch 1, 1 dc)? But it seems you would just say 4th chain in this case.

18. Happy you like it Sharon 🙂

19. Hi Tammy, My starting chain is 27 (plus 3 for the starting chain) and 27 sts gives me 7 inches. So in each inch I have 3.85 stitches. If you want a 16″ start for your blanket – and you reach the same gauge as me with this yarn and hook – you would need to start with a starting chain of 63 + 3 for the turning chain. This should give you a 16″ width and you would need to add a 1″ border for your blanket. You would need to work until your blanket was 18″ in length to allow for the 1″ on each end for the border.

    So I would start with 66 sts and then measure it to make sure after you have completed 2 rows -if it is shorter/wider than the 16″ you may need to increase/decrease by 3 to account for differences in our tension. 🙂

    Hope this helps!
    Rhondda

20. Oh good! I’m glad Sharon 🙂

21. Do you think this could be made into a preemie baby blanket? I would want it to be 18 x 20. That would be about 3x’s the size of the square you made. So would my starting chain be 60 or 63?

22. wonderful stitch to learn! thank you very much!

23. Rhondda, Thank you! This one came out MUCH better!

24. Hi Maschelle 🙂 Oooh! I’ve never tried that – I wonder what it would look like! If you try it out I would love to see what it looks like 🙂 Rhondda

25. It’s slightly like moss stitch! Would alternating rows of different colors create any fun patterning I wonder? Thank you!
