Information confirmed loaded.

[@debrasnooks]

I like this pattern

[@elainemaclellan2425]

Lovely pattern. On my list for future projects. You asked about the 1/2 double crochet join. Love this revelation! Looks so much better and avoids those annoying slip stitches. Learn so much from your tutorials. Thank you for all you and your team do. Jeanne is a pattern genius! Love and appreciate her creativity.

[@tammyquincel7090]

I prefer the hdc join. Plus I love that you have the same little difficulties of the tight stitch and pulling it through is the teacher has the same difficulties that the student has.

[@tracywenzel6163]

I love the half double join.

[@graceheil6309]

Thanks for the great tutorial and thanks to Jeanne for the pattern. I’m sure I’ll watch this several times before starting it. I love the look.

[@krista0222]

I started this blanket last night and as I went to bed I was still counting 1 2 3 4 5 6 for a long time 🤣🤣🤣 What a great pattern for my charity blankets I get ready for Christmas giving 🥰

[@sisterpamop]

This pattern is great. I was just thinking that it would be nice to make a rectangle granny square afghan. I appreciate all of the crochet KZbinrs.

[@katherineharris2080]

This is a which way filet

[@marilynwithers7717]

Mikey, you all are fantastic! I love this pattern. Perfect for a graduation gift. Thank you

[@lisagarrie9614]

I love this half double crotchet join. Where has it been all my life? I’m loving this pattern too, thank you Mikey and Jeannie

[@carolhunter9626]

Love the stitch pattern and the rectangle shape! Thanks for another great pattern!

[@maryannedebono4772]

I prefer the half double crochet join! Thank you Mikey!

[@Izzyic7505]

Mikey, the answer is 6, always 6🤣. It took me a few rewinds to get it, but 👍 I’m off and running now. Thank you. I found you then lost you for a while but thankfully I found you again and subscribed so I won’t lose you again! Looking forward to lots more “how to’s” and follow alongs. 2 thumbs up👍👍

[@damarisabreu9691]

I love the way the HDC looks to join to me it gives it a cleaner look. Working on it at the moment and using Red Heart Super Saver Ombre in the colorway of Jazzy for a friend. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@krista0222]

I LOVE this pattern and I also LOVE the 1/2dc join!!

[@eileencarlson4276]

I like the way the HDC join looks. I will definitely try it.

[@taniquacarter1639]

I was looking for a pattern for a shawl when I noticed this lovely pattern. I love it! Thank you, Jeanne and Mikey. I will start with a long chain so that my shawl will have the desired shape. I also really like the HDC join for the corner. I'll post pictures when it's complete. Thanks again!

[@5lsmith]

I like the HDC corner for a turn. It looks more connected. Thanks Mikey and Jeannie

[@kathyprochnow2089]

The 1/2 double crochet works great in all my granny corners 😊

[@rene7865]

I’ve been wanting to do a rectangle project and I like this one better than the traditional granny you showed already. And I Way Prefer the HDC join!! It makes it a much cleaner look. Thanks for all your hard work and videos!! 😊

[@BonnieRatcliff]

Thank you for filming this Mikey!! Thank you Jeanne for the pattern! Love how this looks. I love the HDC for the corner. It makes it so much easier to find than a slip stitch does. Thanks again!! Have a great day! 🧡💚💜

[@joycenewton9765]

I learn so much from your tutorials! Thank you! 🧶👏🏻❤️

[@DineeGal]

I’m a big fan of the HDC join now that I’ve used it for several of the recent video blankets.

[@mariawhitehorse9535]

This is just beautiful and different, the kids you! And tell Jean I said TYVM for this beautiful Afghan!

[@aprilburton7098]

I like the half double crochet

[@jackieward6695]

Much prefer the half double crochet join and thanks for this tutorial always wanted to do a rectangle in this pattern

[@SuzanaBehmer]

Half double crochet join is my preference :)

[@terrideclue4692]

Thank you! This will be my next project...love the idea of a HDC join!

[@melissakilburn7395]

The half double join is the way to go for me 🙃

[@narrenawhite8231]

Thankyou for this pattern I have tried several different rectangel patterns int this stich but none of them looked right until this one so thankyou once again Narrena

[@franfannon7369]

I like the hdc join. I also do my granny squares that way. On the first round of the granny square I do a hdc join then I do 3dc in the corner then at the end I do 3dc with a hdc join. I don't have to slip stitch to get to the corner.

[@barbp66]

I will definitely be making this 2 + 4 afghan. I do like the hdc for the joining corner. I am also a counter so I will be doing the 2, 4 count while making this :-)

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Sounds great!

[@najmatiellthankyouilovesix4630]

Thanks I love it 🎉

[@holleysmith1342]

This is so pretty. I really like the HDC join. Curious question though (open to everyone).....since this pattern is worked with no turning, will the end result be slightly warped like a bigger granny square? Can this pattern be worked by turning the work as well? Fairly new to crocheting so I sometimes have silly questions. Thanks everyone!

[@terrideclue4692]

Mine did not warp, the inside curved a little until I put a border on...that usually corrects any curl.

[@najmatiellthankyouilovesix4630]

I love that

[@anadavila3513]

Thank you for sharing

[@melissakilburn7395]

How do you think this pattern would do with o,go blanket yarn?

[@nancystevenson562]

I think I may be able to do this one! It's very pretty, thank you. Which rounds do you change colors?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

The pattern is linked in the video description if you want those specifics. :)

[@franfannon7369]

What would the multiple for the starting chain if you don't want it that long.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

It's in the video description but you may have missed it. It's 8 ch + 13.

[@franfannon7369]

I watched again and saw it but I made it with the 37 ch.

[@tessamorningstar]

Making this pattern for my cousins wedding blanket was just trying to get recommendations for a border/edge /trim so the last rows fill in the gaps

[@stephaniedunn2831]

I love yhis!

[@melanielewis4965]

How much yarn needed in total for blanket?

[@bfvargas8]

Love it 😍 🙏 ✋

[@lisajastemski9311]

Thank you going to start it my colors are Color A is Pastel Green and color B is Honeybee ( a yellow)

[@MeganWalters2008]

Those are my colors too I’m doing to baby blanket I thought it would be really pretty

[@dianesmith5884]

I'm really struggling with the corners. I like the half double crochet on the corner but my corners roll in

[@lisajastemski9311]

I did read the comments thank you is the error also in the written instructions

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

No I corrected it today on the multiples.

[@phoenixmarine974]

Has anyone tried changing colors at Round 4 or beyond? Did it work well?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I don’t know myself.

[@phoenixmarine974]

@@TheCrochetCrowd thank you for responding on a holiday. I am going to try this pattern myself for a very late holiday gift for a co-worker, and I will report back here when I get to that point, so that someone in the future will know that it CAN or cannot be done.

[@phoenixmarine974]

Ok, so I've reached the end of Row 4. After doing the HDC, I cut the yarn, and using a blunt yarn needle, I sewed the end into the work. I then took Color B and did a standing DC into any corner ch-2 sp on the short side, worked another dc, and followed along. My next conundrum is if I should turn the work in case the pattern starts to "twist", as sometimes mine tends to do.

[@phoenixmarine974]

Because I did a standing DC, once I got to the end of Row 5 in Color B, I ch 2, for the corner space, then did a sl st to connect. Now the conundrum: do I ch 1, turn the work, sl st back into the ch-2 space, then ch2 as in the original direction? But then, I realized I couldn't, because then it would put me on the wrong side, not just the opposite side of the work. So, from the sl st, I reverted back to the original pattern as in this tutorial

[@krisztinakovacs4325]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Izzyic7505]

Oh, forgot - HDC is much better so thank you 😊

[@lindatrombley3]

prefer ch2
