I am trying my first c2c pattern. It is a large blanket. This is the best video I have seen that shows the entire decreasing process and how to finish it off. You are so easy to follow. I think I can now tackle the decreasing confidently. Thank you so much.
Thank you SO much Robin for this video. I taught myself how to crochet using numerous video tutorials and have been able to do quite a few different projects. I belong to a few crochet fb groups and have drooled over so many talented crochet artists. I have to say that one of the most popular blanket is the c2c and I have admired them so much. With that being said, for some reason I was totally intimidated by this pattern for some reason. I watched the first part of making this blanket and with your great instructions, I was able to do this blanket NO problem at all. I just finished watching this video in order to finish my blanket. Now that I know how easy it really is, I'll be making many more. Again, thank you so much for your great video's. I hope you make many more!!
Kim what a lovely comment, I am so pleased my tutorials have helped you. We have recently relocated to a new country and things have been a bit crazy but now we are feeling more settled I plan on making some new crochet tutorials in the coming month so please subscribe!
Today is the first time I saw your tutorial program. It is fantastic. I started a corner to corner trying to make a triangular shawl. I could not finish the closing off. I think that I can do it now that I watched you today as you closed off the square. You are a great teacher!
Robin, this was really very helpful to me!!! It wasn't cluttered with other information not needed. I like that you did at both ends more than once. I absolutely love the afghan you initially made, just gorgeous!!!!
Ive just started 2 blankets ,a baby blanket and a blanket for a bed ,I could NOT get it into my head how to decrease ,id watched several videos yours by far is the best ,thank you ! God Bless keep up the great videos
Thanks for the video! This helped me so much with the decrease. I've seen what you do on the first decrease but needed to see how it was done the second time you come to the same area to decrease, your video helped so much.
thank you for taking the time to show us how to decrease on this beautiful afghan, i have been adding rows until i found a video on decreasing that was clear and i could understand and see easier. thanks for the help i took notes and i am confident that i will be able to do own my own with the notes with me when not in front of laptop...
I get lost all the time! I'm watching this because after several c 2c projects, I forgot how to decrease! Now I don't feel so bad! Thank you for refreshing my memory! 😁
Robin, Thank you so much for this video. I am fairly new to crochet and I used a different video tutorial by someone else and boy was I about to pull my hair out. I pulled may C2C blanket apart so many times. You saved the day with these very clear instructions. You are a huge confidence builder. Hope to see more videos from you. Thanks again.
Wonderful tutorial. I've watched others on this but yours was very clear and consise. Now I can finally start one of these. Thank you very very much from Texas.
Thank you , you have made it so easy. your explanation is clear and understandable. I can now finish my C2c throw. Doing a smaller sample made it very understandable
Thank you for the excellent videos of the C2C instructions. I am an old and slow learner and your instructions were the best I found. I want to make mine rectangular so I will try to understand that part when I get there. God Bless...
You can also make your blanket a rectangle instead of a square. Once the project is as wide as you'd like it, you continue to chain 6 on one end to increase and only chain 3 (or slip stitch) on the other end to decrease. You continue to increase on the one end until it is as long as you want and then you start decreasing on that end too. At first, it will look strange but it will eventually be a rectangle.
This may sound strange but, I'm glad you messed up before you noticed you were doing it wrong. That's exactly what I was doing wrong. I'm trying to finish a C2C blanket before my daughters birthday and I've frogged it about 8 times 😫 because I couldn't make the end square off. Your mistake showed me what I was doing wrong. YEAH👏🏻!!! It's finally squaring off right. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 THANK YOU!
The first c2c afghan I made, I had the same problem. I followed The Crochet Crowd and, after watching Mikey several times, I finally was able to get it right. Easy when you understand.
I personally was able to follow your pattern very well you made it very easy to understand and I can not wait to make my own afghan with this stitch thank you very much Maggie O from Maine.
I loved the video I have even did square to connect to see the results faster. I love this look. thanks and keep taping it helps those of us that can't read a pattern
@@FabricFolk you're welcome. I've been crocheting since I was 4 years old (54 years). I like to watch videos for inspiration and see techniques that I have not got round to. This video, and the first one, is presented in a clear, logical and understandable format. Once again, thank you and please keep up the good work.
Great tutorial and very easy instructions to follow! Many thanks for taking your time to show us this great pattern! I've watched also your first video for increase and now I feel that I'm ready to do this wonderful c2c blanket. :)
I like your style of tuition/teaching. I’ve been crocheting for nearly 3yrs now. I learnt by RUclips when I gave up smoking... I needed to do something with my hands and to stop me eating haha.. I’m now halfway throu my first c2c blanket. And found you by searching c2c decrease... gonna subscribe to your channel. Are you on fb and instagram?
Thank you for this video (and the one before this on C2C)! I usually make amigurumi, but I found this lovely yarn that was just begging to become a little blanket. I'd never made a blanket before, but I have been wanting to try out C2C because it looks so nice. My blanket turned out great! (Even though I had to take out three large rows because I'd messed up...)
This was SOOO helpful!! Thank you for doing this! It was easy to follow and I actually finished a square while watching the video. Looking forward to seeing your other videos. :)
you made this look so amazingly easy so I tried it and fell in love. It went so quick and easy. BUT I would like to make it more of a rectangle than square and I seem to be having a hard time with the directions...I normally do the afghan stitch so this was so out of my comfort zone I am thinking it is just me being too nervous. Do you have a video showing how to do it more rectangle? I am so much more a visual person versus reading instructions.
I love this pattern. Thanks for sharing it. I'm curious- are you normally a knitter? I've never seen anyone use your technique for crochet (the way you hold the needle and handle the yarn).
Thank you for your tutorial. I worked up a pretty large triangle and am having trouble getting started to decrease because I find it hard to conceptualize the triangle filling in as I decrease. I was foolish. I should have done a scarf. I ask you will the triangle fill out? yikes it seems magical. I have tried to end the increase and unraveled rows simply because it looked wonky. (watching another tutorial only confused me more lol I do not know why I find it difficult to imagine the ending of the triangle lol any suggestions besides putting it aside and doing a smaller project to build my confidence.?
Can you share the brand and name of the yarn / wool you are using ? Love the colors and the pattern it creates . I would hope I can find it here in the states . Your tutorial is well done and easy to follow . I am starting a c2c soon . Thank you !!!
what kind of border would look nice on this? I've finished making a baby blanket. Thinking of the picot stitch. So it would look like flower petals around the edge I just don't know if mbe there is something else that would look better.
when you do a C2C and your making a blanket, is it better to use a multi coloured yarn, or one colour yarn? which is more effective for the pattern to show up?
Okay so I am making an adult size C2C and it is going to be 6 feet long and 5 feet wide, how do I know when I should actually start the decrease? I have been told before that I have to decrease one side and increase the other side, is that right?
Hello okay I am working on a afghan that I am gonna have to make rectangle shape to fit in a Semi bed, it needs to be longer then wider, so my ? is I would decrease at the top and increase the bottom right?
I need help. My friend taught me how to make the corner 2 corner but she toldme to just chair 2 instead of 3. Now, when I attempt to decrease, I am not sure how to go about it because my number is 2 insterad of 3. If you understand what I am asking, please respond. Thank you.

Very helpful. I wish I viewed your video before I realized that I was doing incorrectly 10 rows later. The blanket I'm making is huge.
oh no, hope you don't have to undo too much!
+Yolanda Booker
I did the same thing!
I'm glad Robin made this video!
Thank you so much for this video! I've had to frog my blanket so many times because I could just not understand how to decrease!
You are so welcome, I am glad it was useful
Thanks for sharing this tutorial. Apparently I have more work to do on my project.
Thanks for sharing this tutorial.. insha allah I will make c2c blanket for my son..
hope you enjoy making one :0)
Thanks for your first C2C tutorials. Will you do a video on how to make a rectangle C2C?
Not planning to at this stage but Mildred has provided a good explanation in the comments.
did you ever find a rectangle tute?
+Shea Schroeder On youtube her name is stitchinstacy, she has a video on how to make the C2C rectangle. It's a great video.
thanks!
I love this pattern. Thanks for sharing it. I'm curious- are you normally a knitter? I've never seen anyone use your technique for crochet (the way you hold the needle and handle the yarn).

Thank you so much for your kind words, details of the wool I used are in the first video of starting a c2c blanket 😃
Once again, terrific video! Thanks
Kathy Watson pelletier aww you are welcome, thank you :0)
Ok I got it to work. Sorry I didn't know how to make it work at first. But how do I go back to the first video,
I am wondering if you could do another video on how to decrease c2c on a larger piece. I don't think I am doing it right.
Great instructions! Thank you sooo much!
You're welcome
what kind of border would look nice on this? I've finished making a baby blanket. Thinking of the picot stitch. So it would look like flower petals around the edge I just don't know if mbe there is something else that would look better.
Very clear instructions Thank you
you are welcome, thanks for commenting
Brilliant tutorial thank you so much 😊
Thank you
Mags Nas
Thanks Robin, easily understood :)
Aww good good I was in a bit of a muddle filming this so glad it is understood !
If you use three balls of yarn to make a C2C blanket do you also need three ball to decrease
Does the decrease stay the same for the larger blanket projects?
I would love that yarn, where can I get it?
Hi, could you please tell me, do you have to start the decrease when you have done an even number of rows or an odd number of rows?
+DanniK66 I have never thought about it so I am not sure it matters...:0S
Is it better to decrease while your doing the blanket or is it better to do it after your finish? Does it come out the same?
I'm afraid I'm not sure I understand the question, could you rephrase please and I'll try to help
when you do a C2C and your making a blanket, is it better to use a multi coloured yarn, or one colour yarn? which is more effective for the pattern to show up?
I think stripes of different solid colours can be effective
What is the name of the color yarn that you decrease with,and what is the name of the brand?
Is that rainbow multicolored yarn or were they each separate colors added to the project? :D And what kind of yarn are you using?
It was a DK weight yarn and yes it is a rainbow multi-coloured yarn. The info regarding the yarn is at the beginning of my original C2C video tutorial
Robin Sparkles how do you change colors when you decrease?
Thank you so much
Okay so I am making an adult size C2C and it is going to be 6 feet long and 5 feet wide, how do I know when I should actually start the decrease? I have been told before that I have to decrease one side and increase the other side, is that right?
+Mary Halberg That is right, and you start decreasing & increasing once you have the desired width
Hello okay I am working on a afghan that I am gonna have to make rectangle shape to fit in a Semi bed, it needs to be longer then wider, so my ? is I would decrease at the top and increase the bottom right?
so basically you need to consistently decrease at the same end, and increase on the other end :0)
Okay thank you
Do you have a written instructions for this?
Is the yarn Stylecraft merry go round color ''RAINBOW?
it is indeed :0)
how big did you make youre blanket?
Do you have to decrease, and if so at what point?
Yes you decrease when the diagonal width is as big as you want it to get and you want to start downsizing.
Robin parkles
many rows do u do before casting off thanks
+Valerie Friel As many as you want for whatever size you need
How can I get written instructtions of this pattern?
THANK YOU
Do you have to add a border after you decreased?
a border is entirely up to you
Can you show how to do a rectangle please
How many balls of the merry go round yarn did you use?
It took 1 ball to do 1 and a half cushion cases so I would say you will def need 2 balls.
Robin Sparkles Ok, thank you! :)
I need help. My friend taught me how to make the corner 2 corner but she toldme to just chair 2 instead of 3. Now, when I attempt to decrease, I am not sure how to go about it because my number is 2 insterad of 3. If you understand what I am asking, please respond. Thank you.
I'm not 100% sure but I presume if you have been doing chain 2 throughout the first half of your blanket you should continue that for the decreases
Thank you, Robin! I think I've got it!
How many rows do you do before you start to decrease?
it completely depends on how big you want your finished piece to be :0)
still. learning but good very helpful xD
Hi, do you know where you got that yarn?
I got it from my local yarn shop but you can search online for Merry Go Round Rainbow yarn and it comes up on eBay etc.
How do you do a boarder on a c2c blanket?
How do you make a rectangle instead of a square, like when you are making a scarf.
+Sue VanHoose You always increase on one side (the same side every time) and always decrease on the other side
how if you stare with the first 5 rolls being yellow how ican i make sure my last 5rolls will be yellow if i am using more than one color
+clara wright When you know it is the last time you want to repeat the process, just go back to your yellow yarn :)
Just curious... how is "To be sure, To be sure..." possibly offensive to anyone who may be Irish?
thank you making baby afagan.
nevermind, love!
Thanks please share on my channel
how do I do that?
