Crochet Granny Rectangle Pattern - Easy and great for blankets!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- This crochet granny rectangle pattern is beginner friendly and great for blankets! I will show you how to make a rectangle shape using the classic, traditional granny stitch. The granny stitch has a retro vintage vibe and makes fun scrap busting projects!
If you love the traditional granny stitch and are tired of the same old granny square you will love making rectangles. You can easily adjust size by changing up your foundation starting chain to make table runners, placemats, scarves, blankets and so much more!
This stitch uses all beginner friendly stitches - single crochet, double crochet and chain stitches.

I was given some great advice for calculating the number of stitches in the starting chain, you subtract width of finished blanket from length, and that's your length of chain. EG - you want a blanket 40x34, your starting chain would be 6 inches long. The blanket will grow proportionately.
Smart!
Thank you so much
im using this to make a long pillow so this is super helpful ty!
Thank you. I'm going to try it.
Well thats a nugget of knowledge I'll try next project ty
What an excellent tutorial this was! I watched several tutorials to try and learn how to make a granny rectangle and found them far too confusing until I found this one.
Wonderful - so glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching 💕🌸
Thank you for your tutorial
Finally a rectangle I can do ❤, thanks, very helpful 😊
Agree with everyone. It's a great tutorial + your voice and explanation are very soothing and relaxing and easy to follow. Great tutorial. Thanks!😊😂
I'm pretty new to crochet and had to watch this closely a few times but I'm off and running now with a lovely red/white/blue blanket that will wind up going to a VA home. I can't thank you enough for these clear instructions and teaching me how to create something beautiful!🥰
Wonderful! So happy you found it helpful! 🌸💕 Thanks for watching!
Great video Tonya! Never saw the rectangle started with single crochets. Love this technique!
Thank you so much - so glad you like it and I hope you enjoy making it! 💕🌸
Love how this granny rectangle is started. Great pattern, easy & works up quickly. Thank you Tanya❣️

I am enjoying it, thanks. I have been crocheting for over 50 years but have never made a rectangular-shaped granny square. @@nanascraftyhome
Very good tutorial. One of the best I've seen. Done well.
Wow, thanks! So glad you found it helpful 🌸💕
Super glad this tutorial was on here. I've been crocheting since I was 7 and I'm now almost 45. My nan and mum taught me how to crochet together. This was one of the things I did first. One was a granny square and the other was a granny rectangle because, you know, you have to learn both haha. I actually forgot how to start the granny rectangle and this was a great help. Thanks heaps. All I needed to remember was the beginning.
You are so welcome! I am so glad you found it helpful and I hope you enjoy revisiting the granny rectangle 💕 Thank you so much for watching 🌸
This is great. I bet this will work well as a sleeve for the top I’m making😁😁 so excited
Wonderful! So glad you found it helpful! 🌸💕
Great tutorial I liked your first round better than others I had watched as it looks stronger in the middle x
Thanks so much so glad you found it helpful! 💕🌸
Interesting way to the beginning. I’ve always just started the first row with double crochets. The singles seems to give it a better foundation row. Thank you, Tanya! 🧶💝
You are so welcome! I am so glad you like it! Definitely gives that beginning a lot more stability. Thanks for watching 💕🌸

Does anyone know how many you would chain to make a king or queen size? This pattern is just AWESOME! I Think I can do this one! Thank you! ❤❤❤
So that will depend on the yarn weight you will be using. The sample shown in the video with medium #4 worsted weight yarn and 20 (18+2) foundation chains after 10 rounds had an approx size of 9" x 15". Each round with my gauge is adding approx 1" to the size. So, based on what size a king is - approx 100" x 108". So I would need to add an additional 93 rounds to reach 108" in length which would add 93" to the width for a total of 102". That would end up pretty close to the desired size but you could also go down to a foundation chain of 17 (15 + 2), work up a swatch and see what your measurements would be. I hope that isn't too confusing and actually helps! So glad you love it! 💕🌸
@@nanascraftyhome Oh, wow! I can't believe you took the time to explain that and yes, it makes perfect sense! Thank you so much! 💖
Wow this is gorgeous! I need to try this for sure! Gorgeous colors! Thank you for the tutorial! 💕💕
I started a blanket.Im going to frog and restart.I like your method better.😊
Wonderful! So glad you like it! 💕🌸
This is becoming a hot item 😊
Thanks for you video I can do something different 😊
You’re welcome 😊 I hope you enjoy making it! 🌸💕
Can you do this without any holes in it.. I'm so glad you're showing me cuz the other ones are not as good as you are now I understand how to do it I think it's very beautiful
Sure! I haven't tried it yet but if you work a double crochet stitch in each st and then work the corners the same. Work a couple of rows and see if it is lying flat before continuing on. I hope that helps!
Thanks so 14:26 Much to get me started on the 1st 2 rows then I'm A for away 🙏
So glad you found it helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make and share this video.I am trying to make this 60 inch wide. Can you please tell me how many chains I should start with. Thank you very much🥰
I'm thinking this would make a lovely prayer shawl! They're usually about 18" x60" so I'll have to do some figuring to see how long to make my initial chain. I'm also wondering if the chainless foundation stitch would work with this. Suggestions?
Thank you for being a grandy rantanle
I love the music to this workout. Can you tell me what it is please
Loved your instructions for this How can you do a border for this granny rectangle?
You have many different options for a border on a granny rectangle! You could work a base of single crochet stitches - working a sc in each dc stitch around + 3 sc stitches in each corner. Or you could work pretty much any border right onto the last round - either working into each stitch or use a shell stitch border that would work in the spaces between the dc clusters, or work a block stitch border - work one round of sc in each sp between clusters and ch-2 between sc stitches like this one: nanascraftyhome.com/crochet-easter-blanket/
I’m just a beginner and like this pattern. I’ve gotten to the size I want- how do you finish off? Several others I’ve done finish with a single crochet in each stitch around the perimeter.
It depends on what you are looking for on the finished look. Do you want to add a border or leave as is? If you aren't adding a border you could simply finish as is or to tighten the edge you could simply add the single crochet stitches around the outside edge. If adding sc stitches only work sc into the stitches not the space between clusters and then work 3 sc stitches in the ch-2 corner spaces. I hope that helps! 💕🌸
What if you don’t switch colors?
Great question! If you aren't changing colors I would recommend slip stitching over the previous round's dc stitches to the first space then work sl st, ch 3, 2 dc in same sp and then continuing on. That way fewer ends to weave in and no fastening off. I hope that helps!
@@nanascraftyhome thank you so much!
Ooh boy, I'm having trouble! I'm trying to just learn the right stitch, so I'm not changing yarn at the end of the row(s). The instructions for ending a color and starting a new one are great, but if I'm just continuing with the same yarn, what's my stitch going to look like? Do I do 4 clusters at the end of round 2 and continue from there? (Cluster ch2 cluster ch2 cluster ch2 cluster, if I'm counting correctly.) Then I'd continue with the 3rd round, right? Thanks for the tutorial. I guess since I'm not switching colors I'm getting confused!
Tonya to make a porch rug would you change anything like yarn or needle?
I would recommend changing up the yarn to something durable that will hold up to a lot of abuse. Cotton is a good choice but does have a tendency to stretch out of shape if it gets wet a lot. T-shirt yarn would be a good choice but can get pricey. Macrame yarn would give your rug a more rustic look. Acrylic would definitely work because it is very durable and won't break the bank. Just make sure to change the hook size to match the yarn weight you are using. I hope that helps! 🌸
new subscriber love the videos, so what do you think would be a good foundation chain if i wanted a large blanket, how many do you think??
So happy you love the video and found it helpful! Thanks for being here! So that will depend on the yarn weight you will be using. The sample shown in the video with medium #4 worsted weight yarn and 20 (18+2) foundation chains after 10 rounds had an approx size of 9" x 15". Each round with my gauge is adding approx 1" to the size. So, based on what size a king is - approx 100" x 108". So I would need to add an additional 93 rounds to reach 108" in length which would add 93" to the width for a total of 102". You could work up a couple of swatches with different lengths of foundation chain, measure and then adjust as you need to. I hope that helps! 💕🌸
@@nanascraftyhome ok so do the 18 plus 2 and just keep going and do about 103 rounds to be king size, ? correct, thanks, i really appreciate it
@@kimscales5150 yes, I would start with that and then measure once you have done a few rounds and see what kind of measurements you are getting. With my gauge I was adding about 1" in width and length each round so I could easily know what my finished project would be and how many rounds I would need to get to a specific size. Happy to help!
Agradezco la
Opción de subtítulos, 😊
Hi Tanya
Thank You for sharing this pattern so patiently that made a novice feel like it is doAble. Just one thing wasn’t mentioned. What if we are trying to do it just one color yarn. So it needs to just go round and round but it wasn’t mentioned where to go after the first corner without cutting off and changing color. If you can let me know that would be great!!!
Happy to help! If you are working with one color instead of fastening off you would sl st join at the end of round 2 to the top of the ch-3 of the first cluster made, then slip stitch in the next two dc sts of the cluster to the space between clusters, sl st in the space and work a beginning cluster in the space - ch 3, 2 dc in the same sp. Continue on in the pattern in the same way. I hope that makes sense! So glad you found the tutorial helpful! 💕🌸
I would like to do this for an adult male, how many chains should i chain up for a decent size throw pls?
So you are really stitching. In back loop only each side
What do you mean put a slip stitch in the top of the chain 3? Do you put it in the 3rd chain?
Yes, you will slip stitch join in the top of the beginning chain 3 - the third chain. I hope that helps! 💕🌸
Hello can you tell me how to make it crib size. How many chains please
If I wanted to make an afghan measuring approximately measuring 50" by 60" How many chains would you start with?
A lot will depend on the gauge you have with the yarn and hook you choose. If you were to have a similar gauge to mine I would start with a foundation ch in the neighborhood of (72 - 78) +2 range. After about 4-6 repeat rounds, measure and see if you will end up in the ballpark of your desired finished measurements. I hope that helps!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If I want to end up with a blanket 48" X 60," how many stitches in the base chain?
If you're not switching colors how do you get back to the center of that chain two space? If you're continuing on with the same color it's awkward to be in the top of the original chain three while trying to do the first stitches of the second row in the space to the right of where you are
Absolutely happy to help! Yes, you would want to slip stitch into the top of those stitches to get to the ch-2 corner space when you aren't changing colors from round to round. I hope that helps! I should have included that info in the video for you. Thanks for watching 💕🌸
Can you turn your work after each round of this project? I was taught to do it to prevent the entire project from having any twisting.
Absolutely you can turn after each round! I have another tutorial for standard granny square that uses that technique and you can find that here: ruclips.net/video/94Zou5SVV-U/видео.html
@@nanascraftyhome thanks I will watch that one thanks for the link. It doesn't come up when you search for granny more twisting etc, so goodbye know!
What size crochet hook are you using?
If you don’t want to change colors how do you continue the next round? I had to slip-stitch over to get where you joined a new color and proceed from there. If not joining a new color, what do you do?
If you don’t want to change colors, chain three and make a cluster in the same stitch. You can use the same color yarn throughout the project. Another option is using multicolored yarn for a different effect.
@@charissasmithThank you! I watched your video again and realized I missed some of your instructions. I’ve been looking for a rectangular granny square afghan tutorial and have found yours to be the best!!! Your demonstration is very clear and I love the look of the rectangle as it develops. Thank you so much. ❤️
What if i want to use just one color 🤷🏼♀️
If you don't want to change colors at the end of each round you could slip stitch to next space between clusters, work a beg cluster in next space and continue on in pattern. I hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching!
🤔So you don’t need to turn your work after each round? Thank you, new to crochet 😅
It’s a personal choice, some do and some don’t.
You don't need to turn your work. However, if you would like your finished blanket to be reversible you could certainly turn your work if desired. Thanks for watching! 💕🌸
So you’re or king in the back loop only?
Happy to help! I am working in both loops for the beginning row and then in the spaces between clusters for the remainder. I hope that helps!
Hi. Can this be made reversible?
Absolutely! You would simply turn for each new round to make it reversible. I hope that helps! Have fun 🌸💕
What number hook is used
I am using a size J (6.0 mm) crochet hook for the tutorial. However, I would recommend that you use the hook size recommended for the size weight yarn you are using. I hope that helps! 💕🌸
