FAQs??
-How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.

-How much yarn do I need?
Unfortunately, I will not be able to answer individuals questions about how much yarn you would used do to multiple factors affecting it. Such as, your tension, the size of hook and the yarn being used.
-What equipment do you use?

Oh wow thank god you talked us the whole way around. From someone who can crochet to making a complete babies blanket, I thank you so much. Very easy to follow and you explain things so well.
You're welcome :)
ohh my.....!!!! I'm so excited you have a square tutorial
Nicole,
Thank you so much for the lovely color suggestions.
Thank you for these great instructions. Just what I was looking for!!
I made a few place mats using your African flower on the third and second round I ended it
I love your tuturials
Thanks for this. Love your tutorials. Particularly like the explanation in both US and UK terms - I'm used to mixing and matching!
I made another round of (UK) triples with the corners as 2 triples in chain space, ch3, 2 triples then tr in ev stitch. Just to add more body. Made it in fingering weight. Great project to use up scraps!
Never crocheted before, after a few days I have just created first flower, thank you so much for your good teaching, very enjoyable :)
Many greetings from Brazil! Thank you so much to turn crochet easy. You've got a incredible taste to choice yarn colours !✌💜
Thank you for making this so easy I watched other videos before I saw yours and I gave up because they made it so difficult to follow. Your videos have made it possible for me to learn so many new stitches as I am new to crochet. Thanks again
+Roberta Hubert :) x
+Bella Coco I have been watching you make the circle into a sq. for hours. I wish I could say it was easy, It was not. I am left handed and could not reverse and make it work, perhaps if the directions were written out I could follow, I have been teaching my self in reverse for years, but cannot get the circle into a sq.
Elayne hey have you tried looking at Maddie’s crochet channel she normally has a lefty that does tutorials and if she doesn’t have an African flower you can ask for her to do one she listens to request..
Maggies crochet channel sorry it auto corrected
Your tutorials are brilliant. Thank you so much for igniting my love of crochet again xx
Sandra Wadsworth thanks so much! lovely to hear you have gotten back into it x

Could the tutorial please also be provided on how to attach the squares to make them now into a blanket/quilt? Will be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot, Bella Coco 🥰🥰🥰🥰
You’re welcome 😊
I love your crochet videos, would be great to also see turning circles and hearts into squares? 😊
Tracey Langshaw I will add that to my request list :) x
Hi Bella, I only discovered you yesterday on here and i have learnt so much already, thank you for your tutorials, you are fantastic :-) I am now busy making lots of African Flower Squares....x #hookedoncrochet #handmade
Excellent tutorial. I have a hexagon stash that I can finally turn into something!
Thank you :)
Yay
These are very pretty, I look forward to making a blanket out of these. Do you have written out instructions of the African flower/turning them into squares by any chance or just these videos? Thanks!
+emilypaige3692 Hello, sorry just the videos at the moment x
Thank you 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
I love your tutorial on the african flower, but I am thinking that it would be nice to maybe make it in to a hat. The flower would be a nice touch to the top. Could you maybe show us how to make the flower into a circle and maybe then to a hat of some sort? I would really love it. I am quite new to crocheting so any tips are helpful.
Thank you just what I wanted to make them square
You're very welcome :)
Hi i was wondering how I would keep going to turn it into a huge granny square blanket? please and thank you
Loved the video, as always - are these instructions somewhere on your blog to print out?
Would love to know too.
where is the desription for joining the squares new here can't find it
Hi Sarah I would really like you to show us how to do a chevron blanket using treble crochet, I've seen this done but it would be so much easier to follow with watching one of your videos. Please can you do this for me, I've learnt quite a bit by watching your you tube videos.
Thanks for this tutorial - very useful!! I have made the African flower hexagon blanket and now trying to finish off with the border. Have made half African flower hexagons for two of the blanket edges but now have an odd shape down the other two edges. Can I use this pattern to ‘straighten’ the border so I don’t end up with a jagged edge. Do you perhaps have a tutorial?
You're welcome 😊 Yes, you can use stitches of different heights to straighten out the edge in the same way as I show here; you can also see how I do this in my ripple blanket tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/RBa5WbPXPBk/видео.html This is obviously a different pattern but the principle is the same 😊
Hello. Thank you for such a clear tutorial. I love it. Could you please help me with how yarn n each color I need to complete an afghan 52 x 70? Thank you very much.
Hi Sharon, i'm afraid i can't advise on that as it depends on what yarn you use, your personal tension and hook size etc. I would suggest you do a swatch and calculate from that. Hope this helps Sarah-Jayne
Love your video I'm just getting into crochet your videos Are really clear thanks for making this video ! How much squares do I need to make a full blanket ? Is 80 squares to much ?
Sarah T You can make you blankets to whatever size you like x
Do i have to have all those single crochets in the purple?
Hi! Thank you for your African flower tutorial... it's now my favourite granny non-square! However, despite want ting to "square" my African Flowers I can't get the hang of this tutorial...maybe because I am left handed... Please help!
I want to make my African Flowers square, some with pink n others with white borders exactly like yours, what colour would you recommend i should use to join them?
Can i do a 'join as you go' method?
Hey Bella do you have a video on how to make the flower
Jennifer Nuytens yes, I have linked it in the description box x
would this work on any granny hexagon?
Would you please show how to use this beautiful square as the center of a granny square blanket?. My son's girlfriend wants a blanket in hot pink and black. I would like to make the center square. Color suggestions for the flower center are also welcome. Thank you for a wonderful set of videos.
mint green or baby blue would stand out nicely with the hot pink and black :-)
+Niccole Fales if I use a sage green in Caron one pound for the center and do a hot pink for the petals and a border in black would that work?
I think so. You might try going to the store and holding the colors you want together. That might give you a better idea along with a visual. You're also not committed to your colors until you actually buy the yarn. Good luck! Would love to see how it turns out 😀
How many of these squares would I need to make into a blanket ?
I ment to txt can it be made bigger to make a boho top have not seen one with this square anyware?
would you make christmas tree?
Ive made the square and want to make it bigger how can i add more rows on last row? Ill appreciate a reply thank you so much for great tutorials...and thank you for going all around last row that was a saver as i was battling lol
Once you’ve turned the flower into a square you can keep on adding rounds by working a treble crochet (UK) into each stitch along, and (2 tr, ch2, 2 tr) into each corner space 😊
@@bellacococrochet thank you
Fantastic. And how.to.join them.please. thanks a lot
Hi Linda if you search for bella coco how to join granny squares the different options will come up and you can see which one will suit you best :)
Do you have a pattern for this plz
how many of these squares i need to have a baby blanket?
Fatma Naqi probably about 25 xx
thank you xoxo
can you show us how to turn the square into a granny square as i am making a patchwork blanket with different themes thxs
+kim Wright This is a video showing that Kim, unless I am misunderstanding you? x
Thank you it what i wanted you have been really helpfull x
Do you have a tutorial on how to start this if you're NOT changing colors for the last round? like the square you showed first?
If you’re using the same colour you can slip stitch across to the starting place and then follow the tutorial the same 😊
I can't get this to work no matter what I do. I've tried 11 times this afternoon. I just don't understand where I'm going wrong. There are 2 corners of the hexagonal that stick out into the lines of the square ☹ very frustrated
Hi Bella how do I crochet the squares together please
You could use the same method as for joining solid granny squares; I have a video tutorial here: ruclips.net/video/6INNQBX4cpo/видео.html 😊
Should I have the same number of stitches on each of the four edges at the end? I thought I followed very carefully but I have 2 x 13 sts and 2 x 10! How many should there be? Thank you so much for a lovely pattern.
You’re welcome 😊 You should find at the end that two sides have 13 stitches and two have 11 stitches - it’s not possible to have them all the same due to the shape of the African flower 😊
@@bellacococrochet Thank you. I wasn't too far out!
Thank you for adding the American terms! I can't see why we have to use different words for the same thing.
You're very welcome :)
Is there a tutorial to join these squares ?
Hi carina I have a tutorial on how to join granny squares if that's any help to you:- ruclips.net/video/NUGb9pIcsXE/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/6INNQBX4cpo/видео.html :)

Here is the link for the African flower Part 1 & 2 :- ruclips.net/video/hfbKOMj22j0/видео.html and Part 2:- ruclips.net/video/VaI5ZLIVFE0/видео.html :)
Can't I make an afghan with the hexagon shape? I like it better than a square.
yes you can (:
Please could you show me how to join these squares?
I have lots of tutorials on joining squares on my channel 😊 A video with some simple techniques can be found here: ruclips.net/video/QEwH2YS9cH4/видео.html
Hi if you don’t mind me asking? Do you have a written pattern of this please
Hi Linda if you go to Bella coco crochet and use the search button for african flower you will find the written pattern here 🙂
Bella Coco Thank you 😊
I can’t seem to find the link for how to join the squares with double crochet?
Here is a link which maybe of help to you - ruclips.net/video/6u-h8mb-nJY/видео.html. I have lots of different videos on how to join Granny Squares if this one is not suitable. Just search Bella coco joining granny squares on youtube and all the different ones will come up and you can go though to see which one is suitable. Let me know how you get on :)
Is there a tutorial for the African flower
Yes their is just search bella coco african flower and you will find parts one and two :)
Hi im having trouble finding part 1
Hi here is the link for part one :- ruclips.net/video/hfbKOMj22j0/видео.html
:)
Been wondering why mine turned out so big just following the written instructions on the website - just realized now that these are UK terms LOL
Oh no lol :)
Do you know how to make alphabet squares???
I have hexagons with 20 stitches on each side. I can not figure how to make squares. This video has only 8 stitches and I could use some help please
If you have more stitches you can still use the same technique, only you will need to work more of each stitch. For example, instead of working one half treble, you could work two, etc. It will take some trial and error to get it exactly right but you should be able to follow the basic principles in this same way 😊
Where’s part 2
Here is the link :- ruclips.net/video/VaI5ZLIVFE0/видео.html :)
Just couldn't manage this square at all tried 6 times I've given up
Oh no, what are you struggling with? maybe I can help you further :)
@Bella Coco I just can't seem to get the square shape correct I must be going wrong somewhere, it ends up totally warped on me thank you
I like to sea thr begininh
You can find part one of the African Flower here - ruclips.net/video/hfbKOMj22j0/видео.htmlsi=Km7Ak3Gd9ONubyt6 :)
For me, she actually repeated a step verbally w/o actually performing the stitch. You should do two videos, one for those in America for better understanding. I’m not looking to hear that it was no problem for others, just voicing my frustration in following this video.
Hi Vina I am sorry that you had a problem following this video, which part did you find difficult? 🙂
Sorry it's very hard to follow you with other country terms
