CROCHET: Granny rectangle | Bella Coco

[@sandyqueen9711]

When I started to crochet at age 15, many many years ago, I started with this afghan. It was the one my grandmother used to teach me to crochet. She passed away 20 years ago and i lost the pattern. I have looked for this pattern for years, even on youtube. I could never find it. I thank you so much for this.

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@ravenfavorites9533]

My Gram taught me crochet when I was 8 or 9 and never actually told me the names of stitches, I just copied what she did and it worked out just fine. I love watching your tutorial because you explain things fully without it being overly complicated. The fact I can see the stitches has made a world of difference, it's like having Gram with me again (except now I know the names of stitches). Thank you so very much!!!

To start: Chain in multiples of 3 + 3 for a turning chain 02:11 to get the pattern started Just making notes for myself since I use this video a lot.

[@sammiimeservee9149]

Thank you so much for your videos. My sweet nanny taught me how to crochet when I was just a small child. I feel closer to her when I crochet. ❤

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome and what a lovely memory :)

[@Veronica-678]

i am back again using this demo as my guide, this is my 3rd baby blanket, i was asked after a family member commented on a blue baby blanket i made using your guide. AWESOMENESS.

[@christinet.4159]

I just followed this video to get started on another throw also. I am fairly new at crocheting, so I find it works best if I use this and Bellas regular granny square tutorial to get started. I do not subscribe to any other crochet tutorials because I think she is the best and I am grateful that I found her videos. Happy crocheting!

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you :)

[@kirstylewis981]

Fab pattern and so easy to follow. used this pattern to make an ear warmer.

Thank you for sharing. Very easy & well explained instructions. I’m making this one now. So glad I came across your video. I needed it for my dining spring table motif. Thanks again.

[@allysonlucas1053]

Thank you so much. I'm a self-taught crocheter (not perfect) and I've been wanting to make rectangle afghans (instead of squares) and this was VERY helpful and clear.

[@Cacrocker11]

[@bellacococrochet]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Veronica-678]

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome 🙂

[@mixedme973]

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you Sarah-Jayne. I am crocheting a blanket for my niece to take to Uni and I wanted a rectangle shape for a pillow cover. This is perfect! :) x

[@bellacococrochet]

+Jack Larmour great timing then :) x

[@betsywalker8904]

Very good - very clear - very easy! Thank you!

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome 🙂

[@LucyBunn]

Could you give us some ideas on what we could use these granny rectangles in a project? Could you do lots of small ones and join them into a blanket? Or as a rectangular pillow ect? X

[@travelaround1205]

Yes Sarah Jane . tell us.❓❓

[@bellacococrochet]

+Lucy Bunn You could keep adding rounds so that it gets bigger and bigger. Or your could do smaller rectangles and join together. Whatever you can imagine really! have a play around :) x

[@LucyBunn]

+Bella Coco just as a tutorial idea I was wondering if you could do an all in one video showing us how to do various stitches at all? I'm doing a blanket at the moment and it's in US terms with which I have to keep googling to remember which ones I'm meant to be doing lol, and I thought I'd love it if there was a Bella CoCo video to help us ;) thank you for all your great tutorials x

[@madhvisowkhee1492]

yes u can. i saw bella coco granny square i tried them i succeeded. now i lots of small ones in many colours and join them into a blanket. now i nearly finished.

[@triciaryan7833]

I just had to say thank you so much for what you do. I have learned so much from you:)

[@jamierowe7469]

Another technique mastered thanks to your channel!! And my mum said I'd never crochet hahaha

[@themom0925]

I was reading the comments and it would seem that gauge is the most common question. That would depend on your yarn and hook. But you should be able to calculate that your rectangle would get 2 clusters longer and two clusters wider with each round. So if you measure your cluster height from foundation ch to the top, that should give you the base measurement to determine how many rows you'd need for a given project. Divided by 2 for total rounds on the project. If that sounds wrong or an expert out there can help us out, I'd love the input. I love the math involved in crocheting.

[@rayned5827]

Was looking for a easy pattern and found this one. Thank you so much. Am making my 2nd one for my brother

[@Penelope_and_the_Squish]

love your tutorials Bella Coco! so easy to follow x could you please do a Call the Midwife blanket next as this is the only one I can't seem to grasp! thank you Xx

[@kimpaulson9868]

I LOVE your tutorials!!!! Hope you make more!

[@bellacococrochet]

+Kim Paulson I will :) x

[@yehsamsuya]

For a cleaner starting cluster, you might want to slip stitch, and then proceed to the chain 3 and 2 double crochet. 😊

[@bradyvernon4163]

Thanks for teaching me it really helpful easy to follow xx

[@christineauld4902]

Brilliant for a new starter

[@lisamarino479]

Thanks so much for this tutorial for the granny rectangle, but I need a scallop border for my finished blanket

It's funny - I learned to crochet from you in 2014 and when I need a new tut on a new project I almost always find it on your channel and I love that :)

[@trrepp]

so clear thx! i luv ur videos

[@bellacococrochet]

+trrepp Thank you x

[@bronwynmcphail6692]

I love this!!!! Going to start this ASAP!:)

[@michellegrossman5318]

Loved this tutorial and will use it for future projects. However, I started this because I needed a 9"x7" Granny "square" to add to a group project. The beginning of the tutorial said to chain to the desired length of your rectangle which I did - 9". But as the pattern progresses it kept getting longer. So, I'll use this in the future for blankets but need to find a tutorial that is specifically for a 9x7"

[@wvjmat1]

Michelle, I read your comment about the starting chain for this rectangle granny and that is my question. want my finished granny 30” and I have no idea how to figure out how many beginning chains to have.

[@ArcticRae]

This really helped me out, I was reading this pattern and I didn't understand it at all. After you chained 3 you didn't turn your work, like this pattern says to do. Thank you.

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@Crochet2216]

Thank you sooooo much for making it so easy to follow!!!! Xoxo :-)

[@beesandyarn]

Great tutorial!!

[@beesandyarn]

Just one question - if we usually work just 2ch for the corner in a granny square would just do the same thing, as in work the same amount as what we'd do for a square? I find my work tends to ruffle if i add 3ch in a granny square. Thanks

[@1elitegeek]

Thank you for your tutorials! It helped me a lot really. Can you make a tutorial on how to crochet a solid granny square with two colors? :)

[@alicecross4415]

+Frank Barrera Jr I get what you mean. But what I had in mind is this is link below. Since I've searched one on pinterest (with free pattern too!), I think she can make a tutorial on it and it would really help us crochet newbies. :D cynthiabanessa.com/2015/11/two-color-granny-square/

[@samoneswift1898]

I really like your tutorials. How would I change colors when making a granny rectangle!

[@bellacococrochet]

+Samone Swift It would be the same method as you use with any project. There are different ways that you can do it. I personally tie off one colour and they attached the next colour using a knot and then chain one x

[@wordscaninspire114]

Thank you, I could never have worked out that one i.e., how to do a rectangle. You're a great tutor 🧶.

[@bellacococrochet]

You’re welcome 😊

[@celsadesouza166]

Hi..i watched your lovely video and have a question though..if i want to make a rectangle table cloth for size 48 x 36 inches with a 5mm crochet needle and 4 worsted weight yarn.. then what would you recommend my foundation chain row to be.. pls just only give me an approximate number if you can thanl you

[@Redahhr]

Don't know if you still need it, but I came across today advice that a lady gave. Subtract the width from the length and that will be the length of your initial chain. So in your case 48 - 36 = 12. So your initial chain should be 12 inches long making sure it end with a number that is a multiple of 3.

[@celsadesouza166]

@@Redahhr Many Thanks

[@amandagratrix9724]

Hi Bella coco I am using your granny rectangle tutorial and was wondering when I change colour do I need to do the chain 4 or do I just start in the corner ?
