I am glad you did a blanket like this, thank you for keeping this one around. Currently I'm in love with Caron Cakes, I love the way this yarn feels and works up. Thank you-Linda
Hi guys, I’m a night owl and profound deaf. I would be very grateful if in the near future you would consider putting subtitles to your tutorials. Thank you 😊
@@Kwinn328 i poked around and while the english videos work, the spanish videos will not translate. i haven't tried any other languages yet. seems there are nice crocheting patterns in both spanish and russian. be nice to know what they are saying.
I am making one now thank you for the tutorial I wanted to get 20 finished befor Christmas to donate to a skilled care facility you have made that possible with this pattern thank you thank you❤️

I can’t wait to start this blanket 😃 It’s been years since I made anything ‘granny square’. I forgot how much I enjoyed them. Thanks for reminding me 😊
Bob Ross! haha Did you watch the recently made documentary on him. Really interesting. He reminded me of lot of myself. It was never about the money or pushing products. It was about his painting.
@@TheCrochetCrowd No, I didn't knew about that. But I will go look for it. He was just such a nice character and you seem to be just like that :) I'm looking forward to more of your videos. If you need an inspiration for one: I always have trouble in combining colors or choosing color palettes in the first place. Do you have any advice?
This was soooo helpful. I am starting a new project in this lockdown. We have monsoons in India so I am going to crochet with cotton thread and make a bedcover. Bless you
I had to chuckle. There's a Billy Preston song _Will it go 'round in circles?_ that popped in my mind. Actually, two rectangles make a really nice sleeveless top. Just leave openings for the neck and arms. Thanks for the video!
@@TheCrochetCrowd It really was! I had tried another rectangle pattern but it kept ballooning out and becoming round. I did this one, and stayed flat and straight. I love it! Will definitely be using this again. Thanks so much!!!
Mikey, I don't like to slip stitch so what I do at the last corner is chain 1 and half double into the top of the first double, aka starting chain. I then do a long chain and 3 double crochet for the first part of the corner I work the rest of the round and then end with the last 3 double crochet ch 1 and hd in the top of the first dc. This way I have a very neat corner and no slipstiching.
The introduction music with sponsored videos for Yarnspirations is non-negotiable as all of us use the same music. We cannot just change it and the tutorial creation costs money to make.
Hi I made this for my grandson It is about 52x42 it really worked fast. Because he wanted red and blue I didn’t use the yarn from video. When changing colors I usually went in a corner but, could probably use any chain one space. I was going to add picture but couldn’t figure how to attach it I’ll try by the written pattern.
Mikey, I've been studying Granny rectangle afghans and noticed that some videos show starting in the back bumps, but that is not stated in the accompanying written patterns. Once I saw it with RS at the beginning in the written pattern and using back bump in the video. Is it something that is just known by experienced crocheters?for the Granny? I cant wait to try this. You were awesome with the instructions. Thank you.
Jeanna Mancini Using the “back bump” is just a preference. Mikey usually always uses the back bump for most of the tutorials I’ve seen. It makes for a neater edge on certain patterns. Hope that helps.
so can you make this out of any yarn and hook size even by chaining the number of chains you have given in the written pattern will it still be the same dimentions ??
Mikey. Thank you so much for such a wonderful video. I made this rectangle. It came out just beautiful. This sneaks up on you b/c it is quick, beautiful, and makes a great gift. How can I send u a picture?
When starting a new row why didn't you turn and continue the other way? I feel like this would be better and faster because you wouldn't have to slip stitch over every time. Or is there a definitive reason it's not done this way?
Is there a reason you don’t change directions for each row? It seems like changing directions would help keep the rectangle blocked better. I’m curious.
Hi I’m making this for my grandson but not using the Caron yarn.I’m using 3 colors he wants red,white and blue can I start new colors in a corner? I thought I would do it like a regular granny square but it would be rectangle. Will this work ? I thought changing colors at end of round might look funny especially since they are definitely different colors.
I would like to make this as a lapghan which measures approx. 36" wide by 48" long. Anyone know what the starting chain should be? I'm working on donation projects.
I usually start crocheting by taking yarn from the middle of the cake. .now when the cake finishes .in order to follow the colors do I continue by taking yarn from the second cake from the middle cake or what .Thank you
Love the pattern, but would like to make in worsted weight Caron Cakes/Caron Big Cakes. How many chains and what size hook would I need to make the same 48"X60" inch dimensions?
I would follow the Rectangle Afghan done for regular size yarn. thecrochetcrowd.com/crochet-granny-rectangle-afghan-tutorial/ Just follow the tutorial for the suggested one I have just linked to. That should help you.
I would look to the ball band for the recommended hook size and use that suggestion. I don't have that yarn here in Canada to see it first hand. That's what I would do.
Hi, currently making this, when you're at the beginning of each round (when you do the slip stiches) what happens when you make your way to the corner over time...do you still repeat the same thing and when you make your way back around complete the corner?
Bonsoir, avec 31 mailles au début de mon ouvrage, pensez vous que je puisse obtenir une couverture de 24 x 48 pouce. je voudrais obtenir une couverture pour mettre dans le lit de bébé de mon petit fils. merci pour votre aide. Vos explications sont très claires mais je cherche vraiment à trouver avec combien de maille je dois commencer.
The diagram was just used for the tutorial. It's not part of the written pattern. I'm sorry. I sometimes pull resources to help me teach even if it's not in the pattern.
Vickie Stiefer I started over and made the starting portion shorter. I may start again and just do a modern granny... I hate that the graph isn't helpful either since it's a reduced version of the actual pattern
I am making this now in the same yarn and colorway. I agree that it is way too long and still quite narrow after five rows. It is three times as long as it is wide. It will reach my feet before it covers my hips. I will probably pull it out and redo the starting chain shorter. Anyone know the multiple?
Mikey also put out video for a rectangular granny afghan in Sept. 2017. I used that pattern and made 2 of the afghans for Christmas . They turned out beautiful, but I used Red Heart Super Saver and Caron One Pound, it was the yarn I had on hand. Also I used a size "K" hook. My afghans came out 50" long and 48" wide. Therefore longer than wide but after all it is supposed to be a rectangle. A rectangle IS longer than it is wide. I also added a border of single crochet in each of the 5 colors I used. I do hope that you finished your afghan. They are so easy to do and turn out beautifully.
YOU are The BEST teacher/instructor on youtube. I tried 2 before you, and you are the best.
This is the best pattern I’ve found so far for the granny rectangle. Your tutorials are so easy to follow.😊
I am glad you did a blanket like this, thank you for keeping this one around. Currently I'm in love with Caron Cakes, I love the way this yarn feels and works up. Thank you-Linda
I've watched numerous videos on learning this rectangle pattern. Your video was the one that finally got it through my head. THANKS!!!
Hi guys, I’m a night owl and profound deaf. I would be very grateful if in the near future you would consider putting subtitles to your tutorials. Thank you 😊
Sabiha Ali you can turn on captions by the top right corner and click on captions. Hope that helps!
angel shaffer thank you so much, I have just done it 👍🏽
@@Kwinn328 can you ask for the captions in a different language than the video? say if the video is spanish, have the caption in english?
@@richardbenjamin8535 hmmm I'm not really sure. Haven't tried it but I would say to just try it and look in all the settings you have.
@@Kwinn328 i poked around and while the english videos work, the spanish videos will not translate. i haven't tried any other languages yet. seems there are nice crocheting patterns in both spanish and russian. be nice to know what they are saying.

It turned out sooooo incredibly cute! I’m sort of obsessed with speckled, ombré, and gradient yarns right now, more specifically CaronCakes!!!!!
Just started my Blanket. Lovely explained and you have a wonderful calming voice :) The Bob Ross of crocheting ;)

Neat and beautiful... Awesome

beautiful thanks for sharing!
how would i make a longer rectangle? would it be chain 60+1? or would i double the number i.e. 62
soo beautiful 😍😍😍
The rectangle croc to eat the light c box with the bar cover was swimming to the Hq? Or is it a new cover? Ok put this on my tab
so can you make this out of any yarn and hook size even by chaining the number of chains you have given in the written pattern will it still be the same dimentions ??
Mikey. Thank you so much for such a wonderful video. I made this rectangle. It came out just beautiful. This sneaks up on you b/c it is quick, beautiful, and makes a great gift. How can I send u a picture?
New subby
Which is it chain one or don't chain you have a tutorial for both
When starting a new row why didn't you turn and continue the other way? I feel like this would be better and faster because you wouldn't have to slip stitch over every time. Or is there a definitive reason it's not done this way?
Is there a reason you don’t change directions for each row? It seems like changing directions would help keep the rectangle blocked better. I’m curious.
What other yarn can be used to do this pattern since there are not many colors for this chunky cakes?
Lindo bj de Portugal
If one were to make a solid section in the middle, and then start the granny, how would one do it, and what is the multiple for the starting chain?
Hi I’m making this for my grandson but not using the Caron yarn.I’m using 3 colors he wants red,white and blue can I start new colors in a corner?

I would like to make this as a lapghan which measures approx. 36" wide by 48" long. Anyone know what the starting chain should be? I'm working on donation projects.
You would want to make the starting row so that it ends up being 12 inches then just work in the rounds till you have your desired size.
When indo large rectangular squares it tends to shrink in the middle like a bone.can u please tell me what I should do to avoid it.thank you
I usually start crocheting by taking yarn from the middle of the cake. .now when the cake finishes .in order to follow the colors do I continue by taking yarn from the second cake from the middle cake or what .Thank you
It’s up to you. The colours are the same but will be opposite if you go from outside in.
Love the pattern, but would like to make in worsted weight Caron Cakes/Caron Big Cakes. How many chains and what size hook would I need to make the same 48"X60" inch dimensions?
I would follow the Rectangle Afghan done for regular size yarn. thecrochetcrowd.com/crochet-granny-rectangle-afghan-tutorial/
Just follow the tutorial for the suggested one I have just linked to. That should help you.
Thanks, Mikey!
💜
What color is used in the picture on the tutorial page ?
Can anyone tell me what the color for this is?
Can you use this rectangle pattern in a log cabin pattern?
did you ever think this might make a great mile-a-minute variation?
Can you make this as a temperature blanket?
I want to make this Afghan with Premier Puzzle yarn which is a 5 weight yarn. What size hook do you recommend ?
Thank you
I would look to the ball band for the recommended hook size and use that suggestion. I don't have that yarn here in Canada to see it first hand. That's what I would do.
Hi, currently making this, when you're at the beginning of each round (when you do the slip stiches) what happens when you make your way to the corner over time...do you still repeat the same thing and when you make your way back around complete the corner?
Yes that’s right.
@@TheCrochetCrowd ok thank you so much :)
Je veux savoir si on commence à la même place pour quand on change de couleur
Oui, ce serait le mieux. - Yes, that would be the best.

Excellent tutorial...Where can I find the diagram...Thank you
The diagram was just used for the tutorial. It's not part of the written pattern. I'm sorry. I sometimes pull resources to help me teach even if it's not in the pattern.
Mikey, what size hook is it that you are using? an "L"?
What’s your hurry?
My granny rectangle pans out at the corners. Would anyone know why.
Is there a joining seam? If so, is there a way to do a continuous spiral (I know it’s a rectangle so that sounds silly, but you know what I mean)? 😂
Mikey...what color is that yarn? I love those colors!!
Juicy Chews
I love it. I can’t wait to get some and make this!! Thank you!
Beautiful 😍
How about an oval crochet table cloth pattern. Would like to see that.
I haven't seen a free pattern that can encompass that type of project. I'm sorry.
@@TheCrochetCrowd Thank you for replying, Merry Christmas 🌲☃️
I am so frustrated right now. Ok. I will try again....
Hi
The blanket is starting to be wavy
I am on my 20th round
Is there any way to fix it?
If you turn the work around each row it keeps it from doing that. So work front side , backside, frontside... ect. Hope that makes sense and helps.
I'm currently making this and I feel like it's going to be much longer than it is wide. Is there a reason that might be?
How did yours end up? I am worrying about that myself since I am working on one now.
Vickie Stiefer I started over and made the starting portion shorter. I may start again and just do a modern granny... I hate that the graph isn't helpful either since it's a reduced version of the actual pattern

I downloaded the PDF file. There's no chart. Where do I find that?
Why did you use the back post when starting out on your foundation chain
seriouslu Mikie, how do you talk that fast?! Thanks for the tutorial/....
quick question, how many rnds did it take you to get to the 48"?
Same question i have
Why is my rectangle granny square puckering in the middle, it will not lay flat.
Make sure you check your gauge. It's the only way to know if your tension is off.
