C2C Crochet for Beginners - 4 ways to do the corner to corner crochet stitch!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2020
- C2C Crochet is an addictive way to create blankets and scarves quickly as well as a technique that can be used to make pixel art images with cross-stitch style patterns. I've compiled 4 versions that I discovered when I was learning how to do this myself. I'm referring to them as- classic, modern, mini, and extra mini. I've also added how to decrease each one.
Time stamps are below to jump to the video of interest. Hope you find this useful!
Classic 1:15. (chn 6, chn 5 , 3dc)
Classic Decrease 8:34
Modern 13:35 (chn 5, chn 2, 3dc)
Modern Decrease 18:43
Mini 22:23 (chn 5, chn 2, 3 hdc)
Mini Decrease 25:06
Extra Mini 28:27 (chn 4, chn 2, 2 hdc)
Extra Mini Decrease 31:50

For this video I am using U.S terminology
CROCHET US vs UK CROCHET
Chain (chn) is the same for both
US single (sc) = UK double crochet (dc)
US half double (hdc) = UK half treble (htr)
US double (dc)= UK treble (tr)
US triple (treble) (tr) = UK double treble (dtr)
US double triple (treble) (dtr)= UK triple treble (trtr)

Very good instruction. The best I've found on RUclips.
I’m so happy it was helpful, thank you !
I agree , very good! I look forward to more videos!
I agree. The others don’t explain the “whys” for each step like she does. Excellent.
I love people who explain like this and take time. I am self taught crochet person all you tube😍
Thank you 😊 🙏
I have watched so many C2C tutorials & I could never get the turn right... Your "2 feet" analogy clicked with me. So now I tell myself - " turn, connect heel to toe & start a new row". I am now well on my way to it actually looking like a blanket! Thank you! ❤
Fantastic, I’m so glad that helped 👏🏻💕
The thing that makes this channel so amazing is the level of instruction. I come back to this over and over again. For some reason the decrease is hard for me so I just come back to this video and get the instruction I need. Yay !!!
Oh , good, I’m so glad , Jean 🧶💕
Finally a video that makes sense to me. The feet analogy was great. I can’t wait to start one now.
Thank you , Sheila ! I’m so glad it helped 👏🏻💕
I am so glad that I found your channel! I have tried to do a C2C many times, but just couldn't understand what a written pattern was telling me and your explanation about the "two feet and the flipping" part was so helpful. A light bulb went off in my head! Thank you! You are very focused, concise, and have a nice voice :)
Oh great, I’m so glad when that happens! 💡 I’m thrilled that I got to be a part of that , thank you for letting me know. Here’s to many C2C projects in your future! 🙌🏻👏🏻💕
@@PlayHookywithMe same for me too!
@@kmoss2917 thank you ! 😀
.
Great video! I like the way you explain "why" to do something instead of just "do it". So helpful.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked the why tips 👏🏻💕
Thank you for the detailed instruction of the 4 different c2c tiles. Very informative.
I've had a difficult time wrapping my head around c2c but you did an amazing job slowing it down and really explaining it. Ty!
Oh I’m so happy to read it helped! Thanks for letting me know 💕
I finally understand how to do this, thank you so much. I love your channel, it has fast become my go to channel for tutorials.
So glad to read this , I’m glad it helped ! If you have any requests, please let me know. I’m always searching for ideas 💕
I'm loving your instructions and the different variations you show. I already know how to do c2c but it fantastic to see your versions. I love choices! Thank you for sharing this. :)
I’m so happy you found something helpful , thanks so much for letting me know! 💕
I COULD NOT figure out how to decrease C2C. Watched a million videos, and read as many patterns. When I found your video, I felt like I could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! I made a practice swatch, and by George, I’ve finally got it!! First thing tomorrow morning, I try to apply it to my blanket. Thank you!
Excellent! I'm so happy it "clicked" for you. That's always a great feeling. Thanks for letting me know xx
Great tutorial on the different sizes of the box stitch
Best c2c tutorial ever. I struggled so much trying to crochet into the back of the chain following other tutorials... yours is the only one I've seen that says to do the stitches first (to get your second little 'foot') and then flip it after.
Seems so obvious now but was an absolute game changer for me and made something that was previously impossible for me into something easy!
You have made my day, thank you for your kind words 😀🧶💕
Oh, I just want to tell you how happy I am and to Thank You so much for your C2C tutorials. Ive been trying to learn for a few years now and I just wasn't getting it. I saw you had a Granny Square C2C video so I watched it, since I was very familiar with Granny Squares, and I got it real quick. It was easy. Then I saw this video on 4 ways to do C2C and I followed along and Wow, it just Clicked in my head and made sense to me finally. I got it. Im sure other C2C tutorials I watched in the past were good, they didnt make things click in my head to understand the concept. But this one, YOURS, sure did and I Thank you for that. I only learned the Classic version, will attempt to learn the others as time goes on but I wanted you to know that youve opened up a new door for me to now be able to create new ways to make crochet afghans. Love it
Wowee, Melissa, thank you from the bottom of my heart for telling me this. I get so excited when I hear from you guys that the “click” happened and that I got to be a part of it . 💕 Happy crocheting !!
This was great; i didn’t know how many versions there were. I really like the extra mini-adorable🤩
Thank you ! That one comes in really handy for smaller projects, yes!
What a great and informative video! Love how thorough this instructor is. Not only does she list all relevant materials she also has time stamps. Thanks so much !!! 😊
Appreciate it, Jean, thank you 💕🧶
Hi. I am not seeing time stamps for this video. I usually do see them if they’re set in a video. Can you tell me if there’s a setting within the video itself that I may not be seeing? Thanks very much.
Loved this. The best explanation of C2C that I've seen. This one actually made sense to me. the others that I have watched on RUclips so far just didn't click with me. I picked up on this just by listening while I completed another task... twas awesome!
I'm a bit into a c2c scarf and I didn't know there were different sizes 😮
Great video!!
I’m wasn’t aware either until I started diving into C2C 🙌🏻💕
Best explanation I have seen for this stitch (and I have been crocheting 50 years)!!! Now I’m a fan and subscriber 🤗
Oh! 😀 thank you so much for your support 😀💕
Thank you so much for this video. I want to start a project and didn't know where to begin! Your instructions was very comprehensive and cleared up some of the confusion I had after watching other videos on youtube. Much appreciated.
I’m so happy to read this! Glad it was helpful, thank you so much for letting me know 💕
Thank you for an amazing tutorial. 13:58
Great instructions! Very clear, well lit and enough pausing in between (even without pausing the video) to to keep up. It has been helping my crochet mojo. Thank you so much!
Great, I’m so glad you found it helpful! 👏🏻💕
I love the additional sound affects
Very thorough and informative thank you
Thank you ! 💕
Great video and easy to understand. I’m happy now I understand how to do C2C. Thanks for having an easy to follow video.
I’m so happy that you found it helpful !
Love your C2C videos. Very useful to refresh my memory and learned a couple of new ideas.
Oh, great! I’m glad you found something useful 👏🏻 thank you for letting me know! 💕
Thank you . I did not know there was different ways for c2c. So helpful, thanks so much. You are a blessing.
Thank you ! I still like the classic best , but it’s good to have options 💕
Thank goodness I found your channel… it’s exactly what I was looking for….. thank you!! You explain it perfectly how I need to understand it!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m so glad!! 🧶😀💕🙌🏻 thank you !
Thank you for your wonderful video. I had started a C2C scarf over a year and a half ago and put it aside. Went back to it today and from your video figured out how to do the “modern decrease” and finished it off today. Thank you, you are a lifesaver.
Oh, good! I’m so glad you found it helpful 🧶💕💕😀
Great tutorial! I will forever be thinking “little feet”...too cute. :)
😂💕🙌🏻 thank you so much xx
I am making a very detailed C2C blanket and have been struggling with the classic method. The mini is perfect!! Thank you so much for sharing - you are a very good teacher!
So happy it helped 😀💕
This is fantastic, in terms of clarity and organization. So glad I found this just as I'm learning to C2c
Glad it was helpful! 😀💕
Thank you so much. The first one I saw was chain 2!!!! Like omg. I thought I was never going to do this
So glad it helped 💗😀🧶
I just finished watching all your tutorials concerning granny squares. I wish I would’ve known all this before I attempted my past projects. I am retired now. Now is the time to start a new granny square project. Thank you so much for all your information very much appreciated!
Oh good , I’m so glad you found the videos useful. Thank you for watching! 🧶💕
Amazing teacher... loved the way you taught to the littlest detail
So kind of you , thank you ! 💕
super helpful!!! I am doing a temperature blanket & thought I'd like to control how big it gets so thought c2c would be great & your mini c2c blocks will be great!
Great idea! Ohhh, that’s going to be so pretty. 💕 Thanks for letting me know! x
I like the mini slip stitch edge as you go. My friend taught me how to crochet with the regular block stitch,which was made into a baby blanket . Great video.
Thank you so much 😀💕
Love your instruction...always looked so hard...you made it look easier
Thank you so much 💕
I have saved this to refer to, these were the best instructions I have found thus far. Thank you!
So happy you found it helpful 😀💕🧶 thank you!
Thank you so much for teaching the various versions!
🙌🏻😀❤️

Glad you like the video , thank you !
Great video, just what I was looking for and your instructions are so clear. Thank you!
Awesome - glad it helped 👍🏻🧶💕
Excellent presentation. Thank you!
Decreasing on this stitch has always been an issue for me. But now after watching your tutorial it all makes perfect sense. An epiphany if you will. Thank you so much. I can't wait to actually finish a project in this stitch now.
I’m so glad to read this 😀👏🏻💕 thanks for letting me know !
Thank you for a clear close up video and great instructions this really helped me. ❤❤❤❤
I’m so happy it helped! Thanks for letting me know 💕💕
I downloaded my first pattern from Etsy. It was c2c and suggested in mini. I have never done this style before. You did an amazing job on this. I know several different ways to do this now, all thanks to you! You have a new subscriber!❤ Thank you so very much!
So glad 😀💕
This was really fun to watch. I have just learned to make the classic C2C stitch and I have made a few things with it. I am looking forward to try the other three methods. Thank you for this video, I've learned something new today.
Wonderful, thank you so much! 😀🧶
I have been trying to learn this for years and would get frustrated and give up. You're such a good teacher and explained it so well I finally got it. Thank you 💕
I’m so glad you found it useful, yay 🤗💕🙌🏻
Love, love, love this tutorial!!!!! Thx so very much for sharing and being so detailed and thorough. ❤️
So glad you liked it, thank you ! 😃💕
Can I ask what size hook do you use?
@@msnik9824 sure, it was a 3.75 mm in the video. I think I added a link in the description box but I just got it at my local craft store.
I am so thankful I just discovered you!! You, by far are the best at instructing that I've ever found! I've been crocheting since childhood but just never found confidence in branching out and thanks to your videos I can finally try some new stitches haha!! Thanks so much!!
You are so kind, thank you so much!! 🧶💕😀
@@PlayHookywithMe my pleasure!!
This is totally awesome ….just what I was looking for!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH 😘😘😘

@@PlayHookywithMe You're very welcome.. Keep up the wonderful work
Thrilled I came across your tutorial. 🤗😊💖
Oh good ! Thank you ! 😀💕🧶
Omg! I was struggling with the c2c idea so hard. I watched a ton of videos and just didn't seem able to grasp it 😭 I'm completely new to crochet -- I had the stitches figured out but you explained the rows so beautifully! I'm so excited to keep going on this! Thank you!
Awe I’m so glad that it clicked 😀👏🏻
Thank you for telling me 😀💕
explained the decrease well, bonus newer version of c2c stitch!
Very good explanation. Thank you!
I could not wrap my head around C2C til i watched your video! TY TY TY!!!
I’m so glad the video helped! 😀💕🧶
I am planning on making a wall hanging of my son's wedding picture and thought i would have to crochet it with a graph that would use single crochet rather than c2c but now i think I'll use the extra-mini c2c. Thanks for the idea!
Wonderful!! I hope it fits your needs better! 👏🏻💕 Thank you for taking the time to tell me
Love C2C and this is a great tutorial thanks!!
I also like “the two little feet” 👣
It really reminds you to turn your work 😉

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! It was very fun and helpful : )
So glad! Thank you 🧶💕
Thank you very much!
i use modern c2c for my dil dishcloths. thanks for your tips♥
Wonderful! 👏🏻👏🏻
I was taught the traditional method, but didn't like the big gaps my piece had. I assumed it was due to the double crochets, so independently "invented" the mini version. My piece still had the big spaces, and I realized it was due to chains, not stitches. So I then, again, independently "invented" the modern one.
I think think the faint traces of Irish blood (modern crochet was invented in Ireland) in me are igniting and guiding me because I'm intuitively doing things like this all the time, I love it.
That’s the key right there.. I think it’s so important to have the confidence to keep tweaking to make these stitches work for us rather than always feeling compelled to do it a certain way because the pattern says we should 👍🏻🙌🏻
Thank you!!
AWESOME VIDEO!
Thanks so much! ❤️
Very neat. TFS!
Thank you !
I hv learned a lot of things from you thanks 😊 🙏🏼
I’m so happy to read this thank you 😀💕
Never been a big fan of C2C but after your video I think it’s because I didn’t understand it,,, thanks for tis clear, simple, informative, teaching video…
Thank you , I appreciate that 💕
Great tip about the feet.😊
😆💕 thank you
I didn't know about c2c. I have purchased 📚 .
T’y for the share 😊
Absolutely 💕
Hello
You are marvellous. Thank you.
So glad it helped, thank you !
Best instruction yet for c2c. Thanks so much. Watched at least 20 others and was lost . And yes I had a question if not more but when or why do u do 3 or 6 chains and you answered thanks again
Oh I’m so happy you found it helpful, thanks for letting me know! 💕
I just started making a c2c and I’ve found it so much easier than “normal” blankets. I tend to make my blankets grow either from adding a extra stitch (I figured that out and fixed it) or my tension being wonky from literally tension. Anyways this one is easy to crochet and watch tv etc. atleast for me and to find out I can make designs in them?! Heck ya 😆 I’m going to make so many of these…I have plans muhuhuha 😈
Yeahhhh girl! Same - same ! 😈 it’s surprisingly versatile 🙌🏻
I've been doing 'modern' for 7-8 years, and didn't know it :) I learned that ch 2 for a turning chain, works better with my DC in all patterns. thank you (though, I don't think of myself as a 'beginner') I was curious, I like your style (I am dyslexic and youtube is the only reason I could advance, it took me years to be able to read patterns, I much prefer graphs. Now I have a few designers that I stay with because, of course, crochet patterns are not 'standardized'. The (maybe slight to others) difference between drive me up the wall
Oh thank you , I appreciate your kind words! I gave up crochet for years because reading patterns became so challenging. I am with you , I really adore graphs. It helps a lot when you find patterns from foreign countries too ! 😀🧶💕
Thank you for sharing 💕NonnaGrace 🐓😊
Thank you for a really informative tutorial. Relaxing to listen to, such a lovely soft voice, and good camera angles. Perhaps you could show how to make a c2c graph please, step by step? Including decrease rows. Graphs are my downfall and I’d love to make one but so far no one has made it really easy to follow, it’s decreasing in the pattern that I fall down on. So when you have the time, pretty please from across the pond (UK). xx
Yes I’m working on a video like this now and hope to share next week but it may not be exactly what you are looking for . I hope there will be something in it that helps though 💕 I’m not quite understanding where the decreasing is causing issues for you. Have you tried using stitchfiddle website to help format your graph? They have a free version . I’ll be talking about that in the video too . thank you for your lovely feedback, it inspires me to keep making videos 💕
🧶
Thank you soooo much for these detailed and very well explaned informations! I am glad as well to have found your channel. Thanks to your clear and calm speach I am able to follow and crochet together with you :) is it possible to combine the variatons in a project?
Thank you so much 😀🧶
You could create a nice patchwork style blanket using the different sizes, yes. That would be really cute 👏🏻💕
This is such a good, clear tutorial!! Thank you for showing the different types of C2C!!
Have you got a C2C tutorial on how to change colour at the end of rows?
I don’t have a specific video geared to it - I just share during videos . Here is an example in another video. Skip to 6:15 to see how I like to change colors . This would work for regular C2C as well. Hope this helps 💕

@@PlayHookywithMe thank you, that's very helpful 😀
Excellent. I did it! Xxx
Wonderful!! 🙌🏻💕😀
Thankyou. I’m attempting my second square today. And then attach it to the first piece if all goes to plan :>) are you making something at the moment? I think you are very talented.
@@paulalewis7644 thank you , Paula. I’m making multiple things, yes - I’m addicted . 😂 Nothing C2C at the moment, though.
My makes are on my Instagram account @playhookywithme . 💕
Have fun with your project 👏🏻
yes ive only discovered crochet over the last year. i made my second square and its in the most beautiful indigo yarn. im going to keep making squares until i know the pattern and then i would like to master the diagonal from corner to corner in a different colour. i think anything can be made in crochet.
You make this look so easy! Thank you for making this video. It has really helped me to understand! I am also interested in the graph on your tablet, is that an app of some kind, it seemed to really help to keep your place in the pattern. Bless you!!
Thank you !! Yes - the app is called Procreate 💕
@@PlayHookywithMe thanks so much
I had completely given up on C2C, but thanks to your FANTASTIC teaching I will restart it.
Thank you very much.
Oh and may I ask what yarn you were using? I love it.
Oh really? 😀 I’m so pleased to read this! Thank you so much for letting me know. 💕 the yarn is by , Lion Brand and it’s called, Feels Like Butta . It’s lovely isn’t it? I wish they would make more colors! Xx
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you very much for responding to my comment. I'm working on several c2c squares to practice a bit before I start a blanket. So far they are perfect thanks to you. I look forward to seeing your videos.🌼❤ Thank you again.
Wonderful, enjoy enjoy and thank you !
