Lol. "Start with something small and simple" That made me laugh - because I didn't! I made a C2C camouflage blanket for my nephew, that had 4 colours and ended up being 60"x60" ! I took meages, but looked really good and he loves it

I really didn't 😭😭 I started with a 120x167 tapestry with 10 colors 💀

Hello, new subbie here and I’m enjoying your channel ❣️

[@kelseyevans7574]

This is lovely! What brand yarn do you use? 😊

[@WillowCrochet]

I use a few different brands depending on which colors I need, I have a blog post about some of go-to yarns: www.willowcrochet.com/5-yarns-i-use-for-graphgans-and-why-i-love-them/

Thanks!

Do you always start a graph pattern in the bottom right or bottom left corners, depending on if you are right or left handed? I have a graph pattern with 120 rows but the first row is at the top. Everything I've been seeing shows that you start from the bottom and work up.

[@WillowCrochet]

I pretty much always design mine to start at the bottom but there’s no reason why they can’t start at the top. What’s the pattern you’re working on?

[@t1naba1ley]

🥳🏆❣️ Thank you so very much.

[@cristianapricop5819]

you can make long coats and cardigans - with graphgan patterns

I’m trying to do a graph and I need help never worked with bobbins

[@WillowCrochet]

I'm hoping to do a video about bobbins really soon! What help do you need?

[@murielfields7445]

What size crochet hook to use when pattern doesn't list it?

[@WillowCrochet]

Most yarn labels have a recommended hook size so that's an excellent place to start. However, some projects require smaller or larger hooks, amigurumi for example usually use smaller hooks. You can also check the gauge listed in the pattern and use trial and error to work out the hook size.

[@blackflower4626]

Omgg can u send the pattern? It’s from nfl right? 🤣

[@cherylgrier6803]

loved the video. so the stitch used is by choice? single or idc

[@WillowCrochet]

Yep, sc or hdc both work. However, if you’re following a pattern, make sure to use the same stitch as the pattern.
