For this video I am using U.S terminology
CROCHET US vs UK CROCHET
Chain (chn) is the same for both
US single (sc) = UK double crochet (dc)
US half double (hdc) = UK half treble (htr)
US double (dc)= UK treble (tr)
US triple (treble) (tr) = UK double treble (dtr)
US double triple (treble) (dtr)= UK triple treble (trtr)

Newbie to crochet. Love this project and your tutorial. And my brain hurts now from watching all these videos and making my first classic square. I will start again tomorrow with the chain 3 square and go from there. Excellent teaching and pace.
Yes, pace yourself! I’m so glad my video is a part of your journey and helped . Have fun ❤️
You’re a great teacher! Your voice is soothing and it’s super easy to follow what you’re doing!
So kind, Natalie, thank you 😀💕
Thank you so much! I have watched other videos and they sometimes had the tiles going backwards on the joins and I just couldn't bring myself to crochet a blanket like that. So GLAD I found your video. Your instructions are so clear and I will recommend your videos to all my facebook crochet friends!
How kind of you 😀 I’m so glad you found it helpful ! Thank you 💕
Thank you for your excellent explanation of c2c jayg. I have made one piece - using another tutorial - and I slip stitched instead of the chain 3. It turned out alright but after watching your tutorial I am so much wiser and more confident.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for telling me 😀💕
Thank you very much for your video! I was struggling with the right technique on my blanket, searching for a good instruction. Your video was a relief! Your nice and calm way to desribe was very nice and simple for me to follow, because it's very well struktured. Thanks a lot again💚greetings from Germany
Thank you so much 😀💕
I have been looking for this pattern for a long time!!!
Oh great 😀👏🏻💕
Thanks! Been crocheting most of my life, but still learning from you ❤
Thank you so much , Marilyn ! 💕💕
Great video! I like this method instead of trying to join all my squares with a sc or sl. Thanks!
I enjoyed your video so much. Your tutorial was excellent. Thank you
Thank you so much 💕
Hi, a great how to, good tips and ideas, simple and well demonstrated. Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to let me know, thanks for watching 😃💕
This is so cool, I'll definitely have to try it. I did learn to do the c2c with chain 3 instead of slip stitch for decreases so I'm already part way there 😃
I bet that gingham pattern turned out awesome done this way!
Thank you!! I'm really grateful for your videos! Was struggling a bit with another C2C project, and your excellent instructions have made me see the light! Looking forward to making your C2C squares & joining them as I go (as in this video)!! Thanks again!! 💗
I’m so happy you found the videos helpful!!! 😀👏🏻👏🏻💕
Absolutely fascinating and so clearly explained Thank you Roz😊
Thank you , Gloria! 😀💕
Loved the tutorial! Easy to follow and understand. Can't wait to try one of these ginghams. Thank you.
So happy you liked it, thank you for letting me know! 💕
Lovely! C2c is one of my very favorites!
Me too ! 😀💕
I started this method of C2C, then I decided that I crochet too loosely for the ch3 and started crocheting ch2. Then, I watched your other video about the four methods and I realized I was crocheting the "modern" method and I didn't even know!
Hahaha that’s awesome 👏🏻
@@PlayHookywithMe I love your videos...all of them! So very informative and I have been crocheting since 1974!
@@meon3wheels that means the world to me, thank you ❤️
Ohhhh never mind I found your other tutorial on the boarders !
Love your video, you explain it great.
Thanks so much 😀🧶
Very helpful and clear. Thank you.
Thank you for letting me know! 💕
Very nice. I was just wondering about the attaching and doing a new color block on your gingham or just plain c2c join blanket. Have you ever thought about joining with a chain 1 or 2 then starting to make a fancy little star like join as if all your squares were completed then joining them ? Was just curious. Im trying to picture it in my mind how to do it. 😊
You’ll have to try it and let me know how it goes. It sounds interesting 👏🏻💕
So beautiful. Please a tutorial for a poncho with this stich
Will add to the list, thank you 💕

Amazing video!! But I would like to ask a question because I really don't know what to do and I was hoping you could help me, pleaseee😭
Context: I'm working on my first crochet project ever: a blanket using c2c. Now, when I made the chart, I thought the length was going to be of a good size because it looked "good" on the chart. Halfway through, I realized it was going to be shorter than I needed it to be, so I added more rows at the end, easy.
But it has a design that it's supposed to be centered and with the extra rows at the end, it now looks weird. So now that I've finished it, I've been looking for a way to add length at the "start" of the blanket and I tried the method you teach in your video, but after completing some rows, I realized that the little spaces that look like a "(" between the tiles were going in the opposite direction than the rest of the blanket because I'm starting basically upside down.
I'm wondering if there's a way to add length to the blanket at the side I need using this method? Or perhaps, if I crochet the other section separately, is there a way to join it to the rest of the project once it's finished without having to treat it like a crochet block? It's just that I would like it to look as pretty and seamlessly as yours in both sides than how it would look if I stitch it like a block (Hope this makes sense, I'm so sorry)
I see what you mean but I’m having a hard time picturing a successful solution for you. Is the direction of the ( That noticeable? I know it’s a pet peeve of mine as well but maybe it’s not that noticeable when you look at it over all. You might be able to just join the extra segment with a a little strand of yarn in the same join areas as the rest of the blanket. It would be tedious but if it might make it look more cohesive. You would just attach with a tapestry needle , no crochet hook involved.
I’d recommend making a test strip of 2 or 3 squares and then joining them that way see what happens. 💕
Keep me posted .
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you for the reply!! Well, I didn't notice at first that the direction was wrong, but after I did realize, I could not unsee it. I asked other people if they saw something weird with the blanket, and they only mentioned being able to kind of see the line where both sections unite. I'm not sure if it's normal or if the line is easy to notice because the ( don't blend with the rest.
After reading your reply, I'm thinking about just continue with the method you taught me in your video and just learn from my mistakes with this 1st project. Can't wait to start my new blanket😃
Love your informative video! I really want to try this and would like to know if this would work with a rectangle as long as the sides are an even number?
I shouldn’t see why not … keep me posted! 😀
Ths chain at the decrease looks a lot better than ss.
GENIUS!!! Thank you!
So glad you think so! 💕
It's a great tutorial, love the pattern. However😊 I'm left handed and struggling to join the squares, I think I need to reverse the way it's done?? It's giving me a headache😕 when I do the starting chain of the 2nd square to join I'm facing inwards so I guess I need to turn the first square and work left to right?? 😱
Ugh I’m so sorry about this. I really need to reverse the video for left hands 🙁💕 and yes that’s it - do it in reverse
Hi I love the tutorials you make, very helpful I do have a question on the Modern c2c version decreasing, I do not want to slip stitch I like the chain version, so do I chain 3 on the decreasing rows but continue to chain 2 when creating the next tile?
Thank you! Either way would be fine since you are still trying to cross over 3 stitches … but I would recommend that you try a chain 2 to see if it gives you a tighter appearance without making it too tight if you know what I mean.
Some crocheters find the ch 3 makes it too gappy (with the classic and modern). Choose what looks best to you with the yarn and hook you’re using 🧶💕
Love this
I appreciate it, thank you !
It’s brainy stuff 🤓😖👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
😂😂😂
How would you add if the end was a horizontal square?
Can you elaborate for me ? Are you making rectangles instead of squares?
New sub here.
Hi! Thank you 🧶💕
At 3:09 which corner did you attach to (fasten on)?
Bottom left corner 👍🏻
So question..at the point where you started joining 2 squares at once, I didn’t notice any 6 stitch increase. Do I have that right or did I miss something?
No, you didn’t miss anything . It’s not necessary to create a chn 6 because we already have existing sides that we are working into. So it’s almost like we are always making center blocks. Remember , chn 6 is only when we need to create an edge.
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you. I always appreciate your responding so quickly. I think I’m going to try the pattern. Do you have a Facebook group? I’d love to show you how nice the border came out on my C2C❤️
@@deebee4850 I’m not on Facebook but if you are on Instagram I’m over there. Same username (@playhookywithme)
I’d love to see it! 😀
@@PlayHookywithMe just followed and tagged you on a picture of the finished product. Thanks again for the inspiration.
@play hooky with me. What yarn brand did you use in this video (pink, mid pink)?? Thank you!
I’ve added a link to the brand under the video - (it comes in two skein sizes)
It’s called “feels like butta “ and it’s “pink” and “dusty pink” 💕
I love this sooooo much but I'm soooo confused lol
Omggg ha! I did it ! I got it !
Can someone tell me maybe why my blocks look a little crooked? I feel like I'm doing everything the right way, but some of my blocks look crooked..it's driving me nuts! Lol
I had the same issue and changed a few things. I use the 5/2 method, watch your slack in your chain 5 or 6 or if you are making it too tight. I was making my chains too tight. It can really make a difference to your piece. Also if you slip stitch instead of the chain three method it can make it look crooked in my option. One other thing I do is make the last stitch in each tile an HDC. So I would slip stitch, chain two, then 2 DC and then 1 HDC. The HDC will cause it to tilt in the opposite direction. Hope some of these might help. That is the great thing about crochet, you can change things around to fit your own tension and style. Good Luck!!
