    I did my first one with the ch 6! No wonder I had the bigger holes! 🤦‍♀️ thanks for the ch5 hint. It really does make a difference!

    Thank you for this tutorial. I am doing my very first c2c and I was watching another tutorial where they did the 6 chains and I did not like the openings between blocks, thank goodness I only had a few rows done so it wasn’t that painful to 🐸 it all. Great tips!

    Looking up tutorials for C2C cause I’m tempted to do a graphgan… an hour ago was the first time I actually did a little swatch I figured it out pretty quick and started to chain 5 instead of 6 and chain 2 instead of 3. So half of it is chained 3 and 6 and the other half 2 and 5. 2 and 5 looks so much better. And I was interested in color changes. Thank you for this. 🙌

    I have to tell you I so enjoyed your video and your style. I have watched several crochet tutorial videos and most of the presenters go on and on and on about absolutely nothing related to their tutorial, or they take forever to tell you what they're doing. You get right down to business and teach right away! Thank you! I am starting my first c2c graph which will end up being a pillow for my sister. Fingers crossed.

  • @karennardella1028
    @karennardella1028 3 года назад +3

    I like your video. However, two suggestions:
    1. Do your work against a background of a different colour of the two colours of wool you are using. It will make it easier to distinguish what is happening.
    2. Create one more row of the work, so that we can see how the colour change continues to work.
    Thanks for the video.

    Thank you this has helped a lot and now I will use the 5/2 ratio instead of the 6. Unfortunately partway through one so can't change to the 5. Thats ok as I have a lot of them to do and this one is made from a finer yarn which looks very cute

    This is my first C2C with graph. I have tore out 4 times and now feeling great. BUT silly question. When you start the decrease Row, does it start as soon as your turn your work and start the row? Or do you do it when you finish the row. I hope I'm not too confusing. thanks so much

  • @susieq7621
    @susieq7621 4 года назад +2

    I really like ur video because the blanket does not seem holy.The only thing I guess I can’t tell where your stitches or any of that goes because the white on white is very hard for me to distinguish whether hood and things go I was wonder if there’s a way do you do it also in a dark gray yarn or I don’t know what I’m trying to say but it’s very hard to see

  • @terryfla
    @terryfla 6 месяцев назад

    When doing C2C pattern that has words, will utilizing 5/2 instead of 6/3 change the lettering? I'm doing 2 new projects for my nephew and brother-in-law and both patterns has words. One is the Florida Gators Logo and the other is the Montreal Canadiens Logo. Both patterns are from Two Magic Pixels if you want to look them up.
    My first project only had two colors and no words. I did this one in 5/2 and it looks great. My fear is that the words will be distorted if I use 5/2 instead of 6/3.
