Thank you. I needed a refresher on decreasing for rectangle, This tutorial was perfect. 💕💕👏👏

[@nanakate6586]

Your the only one who explained maintaining and decreasing in a understandable way. Thank you! My graphghan was kicking my butt!

[@newbi68]

Omg!!! Thank you. I am doing my first c2c rectangle and could not find anything to help me understand decreasing on one side. And I could not figure out why my work was giving pointed corners on the end. I was decreasing on the beginning of each row. This made so much more sense!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad it was helpful to you, Tammy Bradley-Alvarado! Thank you. 🌼🌸🌼

[@Mobuchholz]

Thanks so much, I finally found a C2C rectangle video that I can follow!! You’re Awesome 😎

[@deko2485]

Was at the half way point, loved my width, needed to add length. Could not find videos teaching that. Asked hubby his opinion. Just imagine deer in headlights look! Ha ha! Then I found your video. It confirmed what I thought would be the correct way. Thank you for going all the way to end with it and putting together a great video. Proves you can teach an old dog new tricks. Crocheting over 53 years.

Perfect tutorial! Thank you so much. I'm really loving C2C. I've got 2 C2C blankets going, one is a square and the second one is a baby blanket which now I will do as a rectangle. So ingenious! Whoever came up with this technique is brilliant. Many thanks for your simple instructions, straight forward and to the point, like it should be 👍❤️

I am right handed but you are so incredibly amazing & thoughtful for also posting videos for left handers. My daughter is left handed (she has only 1 arm but its in your brain and not your limbs that determines whether a person is left or righ handed). ❤

Dear Christa, somehow I lost u on the rectangle.i followed u well starting the rectangle. But on the decreasing I got very confused. What if I want to make a scarf? Do u have a more extensive video? I love this pattern. It looks so pretty. And I started it in red. So it's very pretty. But,I'm stuck. Lol.

About how much yarn would you need for a 27x40 afghan

[@GoonerMetalhead]

I signed up for Facebook today just so I can join your group :)

[@SecretYarnery]

HURRAY!! Welcome!! xx!!

[@anniedelgado2858]

Thank you for this video. I like the way you use the markers. I'm making my first graphgan using directions instead of the graph. After row 90, it says reduce from the right..Do I assume row 91 is the beginning of the right side? Then after row 100, reduce from the left.Again, is row 101 the left side? I hope you can help me out. Thank you.

[@iluminameluna]

I seem to do the decrease for the first "no build" side of the rectangle just fine. My problems begin when I start decreasing on both sides to finish the rectangle. I learned to chain 3 up the side of the decrease, then SS into the chain of the first "mountain" instead of SS up the side. The problem I have is that I don't seem to decrease quickly enough and my last corner ends up elongated, a sort of funnel shape, if you can imagine that. I've frogged this corner about 3 times now and it's driving me MAD! I count, I add stitch markers, I do everything but stand on my head. I'll do that as best I can if necessary. Anyone have any ideas?

[@moniquep.341]

Can you give us some gidelines on when to start decreasing (both times) when you have a limited amount of yarn? (Example: would you have enough yarn when you start decreasing on one side when you’ve used 1/3rd of your yarn and start the second decrease when you have used 2/3rd of your yarn?)

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Monique! With a rectangle, it's a tricky one. You just have to guess. I imagine the best way to calculate is to weight the piece when you are starting the first decrease. That would give you a good idea of how much yarn you will need to save for the final decrease. Hope that helps? xx!

[@nancynelson7350]

[@darkb4light06]

You don't need stitch markers. It becomes obvious what you're going to do and where the further you go. I've never used stitch markers for any version of this pattern.

[@joannfunderburk3390]

How do you know when to start decreasing so the colors are the same on both corners when doing a striped pattern?

[@anniedelgado2858]

I am making my first c2c. I have reached row 90 and ready to decrease. It says Reduce from the right. Is row 91 the beginning of the right side? Thank you.

[@kimwheeler8414]

I'm making a twin aphghan as you know so when I get this as wide as the mattress or as wide as I want I decrease on the width and keep going on the length for as long as I want to, right?

[@SecretYarnery]

Yes mam!! The width of the mattress. Perfect! xx!

[@heidicook2211]

Christa thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I've always made square C2C. I was wondering where you bought the wonderful container of stitch markers. I love the colors and quantity. Thanks again!

[@kimwheeler8414]

Heidi Cook they have them on amazon 2 containers for like 8.00 very good stitch markers

[@patsavinda1703]

I have made the C2C before but always in a square. I’m trying to do the rectangle. I have been watching many videos to figure out what I’m doing wrong on my decrease side and still can’t seem to figure out why my second decrease side has a small indent. I’m missing something....help please 😬 TIA

[@janetjohnson4240]

I'm having trouble ending up with the right amount to decrease at end of row. Everything goes with pattern count. Starts out with the right number of blocks in the color. But ends up one block short. Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

[@EvieO1950]

Ok I’ve decided to do the rectangle and make a small laphgan. I only gave 6 balls of Bernat blanket yarn so can you tell me how I would know when it’s a long as it can be. Would I just stop making it longer after I’ve used the third ball and start decreasing? Txs 🙂

[@kathleenchamp3764]

I couldn't help myself..lolol I let out a big TAAADAAAA! lolol when you finished. I cant wait to add or do the graphgan with this. I know you mentioned it would come probably in the fall?? Its going to be very fun and exciting! maybe we can learn hot to design our own pattern for the graph and have a Cal doing that..I dunno but I'm tickled over here in Cali!! HUGS CHRISTA! Thanks for making this so easy peasy

[@SecretYarnery]

For sure, Kathleen! That would be fun. No chart yet... need more hours in the day, but ideally I have a chart for every pattern. (#lifegoals) Here are the stitch markers I use: amzn.to/2K7XGm1 Cheaper too, because you get two sets. :D

[@kathleenchamp3764]

The Secret Yarnery THANKS bunches Christa (ok :/ almost done it twice ..three times lol I can everyone I consider a friend sis or love LOL being careful not yo offend.. X's friend oh, & if there's any way I can help with the plan let me know. I'd love to help if I can :-D

[@rhondarea9929]

ok I have done a couple of lap blankets in c2c before but long ago. just cant remember. ok when I get wide enough. to do the decrease on both sides it won't keep getting longer right. cuz when I get wide enough I will still want longer. so do I just decrease 1 side

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Rhonda Rea!! Yes. For a rectangle - getting longer - follow this video. 🌻🌺🌼

[@rhondarea9929]

@@SecretYarnery thanks sorry I just forget and so hard for me to remember any more

[@rhondarea9929]

@@SecretYarnery ok I just now re watch the video. ok I got wide enough now on decrease side I do the slips then turn and chain only 3, but on increase side I still chain 6 right

[@rhondarea9929]

almost to the end of increase then I can decrease both sides. I just have to keep watching u couple of times every other day make sure I doing right. I will end after decrease with 68" x44". then I will put a little border of other color to add about 4" around. and end up with 4' x 6'
