[@cvholm5904]

Hi Mary, ty for tutorial! Is it possible to join together for a blanket (like joining granny square). If I understand correctly, we can continue making rounds indefinitely for a square blanket? What if we wanted to make a rectangle blanket? Thanks in advance

[@marymatthewshandmade4720]

You’re welcome ... I’ve only ever made a large square but I’m sure you could use the shells to join maybe ? Use the 4th stitch of each shell and join to the next square with a slip stitch ... I haven’t tried it but maybe that would work 🧶🧶🧶👍

[@davidepattyleggeri4874]

🤩🌷❤️👏

[@marymatthewshandmade4720]

Thank you 🧶🌼🌸

[@jhasler47]

I made cushion covers

[@marymatthewshandmade4720]

Oh fabulous Jayne 🥰🌸☀️

[@YARNBARF]

Are you using British terms, like are your Treble stitches actually our Double crochets?

[@marymatthewshandmade4720]

Yes, I use UK terms in all my videos 🧶
