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 :)

[@byDsign]

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.

[@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!!!

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 :)

[@sallyowen1177]

So pretty and simple , would make a lovely "house brick " design for a different type of blanket , a granny blanket with a twist !! 😍

[@bellacococrochet]

+Sally Owen great idea :) x

[@Veronica-678]

i saved this, made a blanket my first ever, sooo pleased with it, lovely compliments from family. So i am making another one with odd balls of wool, just having fun. Each stitch i say made with LOVE.

[@VampFlirt]

I love your tutorials! So helpful & clear to understand. Thank you for sharing these with us!❤❤❤

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@christinagonzalez9043]

As always, your tutorials are clear and nicely paced. Thank you!

[@bellacococrochet]

Glad you like them :)

[@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 :)

[@melissagarten-byrd6129]

Thank you! you have taught me something new today..... i am a beginner at crochet and, I'm now in the process of making an afgan for my son! thank you so much

[@marysalvato3532]

OMG, I think I have old timers, been looking for this, , I use to make this year's ago , and was thinking of making a blanket , but just couldn't remember how to start it , your a life saver, love your videos, so easy and clearly understanding, tyfs, thumbs up

[@joankujava7548]

I have tried many rectangle patterns and your's by far was the easiest for me follow.

[@clarehopkins9687]

Oh thank you. I'm addicted to your tutorials because I find it hard to visualise a pattern unless I see it being worked. I've been puzzling for ages how to make a rectangle blanket. Keep on posting because I love your videos and how easy it is to follow :)

[@mfrances8253]

GREAT video! Easy to understand--as usual! Thanks for all these videos--you've brought back the joy to my crocheting!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@isteoyle..1022]

Great! Finally I found the easiest way to crochet a rectangle! Thank you so much.

[@bellacococrochet]

You’re welcome 😊

[@orkids5551]

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.

[@lindafox7799]

Love, love, love all your videos, your so talented. Thank you so much for taking the time out to do the tutorials. Linda in Liverpool.

[@Truthstudent94]

Easy Peasy! Thank you for the clear, concise directions.

[@bellacococrochet]

[@mixedme973]

I absolutely love your tutorials/videos. I have been trying to learn this and a standard granny square for years! You have helped me achieve this.

[@zebrapedestrian]

This is fantastic! Thank you for making it easy to follow. My blanket is coming along nicely.

[@lauraweinmann349]

Oh this was so helpful! other demos were switching colors with each round but this showed how to keep the same color and move up to the next row, thank you!

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome :)

[@Cacrocker11]

I am now making an Afghan from your directions!! Thank you so very much. Hun!!!❤❤❤❤

[@bellacococrochet]

You’re welcome 😊

[@LunaGer]

Love this tutorial, thanks! I slip stitched to the next corner so I didn’t have to keep having that odd chain 4 every other row. It was bound to confuse me eventually

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@user-on7zd8yi8g]

Thanks for the tip, I might try that!

[@jacquelinerobinson4889]

Such clear instruction! It makes it easy for a beginner like me to understand.Thank you!

[@carolyndebacker7075]

Excellent instructions. I was trying this with another instructor who made it soo very difficult. Thank you for a great tutorial.

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@kirstylewis981]

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

[@bellacococrochet]

Glad it was helpful :)

[@allysonlucas1053]

Thanks for the video. I was tired of making squares :)

[@mlcandles23]

Thanks for the video! Very helpful in getting me started on a new project this week. I am using a white speckled yarn and a deep pink yarn in a throw for a gift.

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome 🙂

[@Integrafox84]

Thank you!! This was beautiful and my blanket is coming along great. You're awesome. Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial, as it was the easiest one for me to follow :)

[@jslosthope2058]

I'm so glad you made a video for this, i was getting lost with another person 😂

[@bellacococrochet]

Glad I could help :)

[@leaestrada5348]

Me too. 😂

[@yehsamsuya]

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

[@annieroos1559]

I love all your videos all so clear and you make it easy to learn. I have learned most of my stitches from your videos. Thank you . ❤️ your the best

[@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]

[@mathGnome1]

Thank you! This helped me get the baby blanket I'm making for a friend started! It was very informative and the instructions were nice and clear!

[@Veronica-678]

[@leaestrada5348]

Thanks for the very clear tutorial.

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

[@bellacococrochet]

You’re welcome 😊, I do have a tutorial for a scalloped edge border - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKCTiaCHms1rfJosi=IP-sjCmdqkrBovee :)

[@rachelmiller6401]

Hi Sarahjane love ur tutorials n helped me to learn crochet. Im realy keen to do a ripple blanket, iv watched some videos but realy cant grasp it. Could i request u do a ripple/wave tutorial ??? many thanks n keep the tutorials coming love them x x

[@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.

[@SavvyLikeThat]

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 :)

[@rosalynblocker541]

Thank you, it took me a few stops and starts but I’ve got it thanks. Starting a blanket tomorrow.😁.

[@bellacococrochet]

You are welcome, good luck with your blanket :)

[@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 :)

[@novasa1813]

[@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/

[@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 ?

[@sharonmiller8104]

I like this pattern. Do you have it in written form? I would buy it if you do. Thanks

[@bellacococrochet]

Sorry I don't have this pattern in written form :)

[@emboo4261]

This is a wonderful tutorial except...I had never made one like this so when you said to chain the length of your project, I chained enough for my queen size bed. I never understood how that could possibly work without getting even bigger, but, hey, what do I know? I still don't understand how to figure out the starting length, but I just winged it and it is coming out fine. Go ahead, laugh with (at) me. ✂

[@shamimqadir1619]

Pamela Jackson ,'b. @

[@jennj6197]

Pamela Jackson yeah I thought the same thing lol luckily I was just watching to learn how for a future project!good tutorial though

[@kathypowers7925]

Pamela Jackson do you have a pattern for cape .

[@bentrib1]

To figure out your starting chain length, you would subtract the width that you want it to grow to from the length that you want it to grow to. So if you want a finished blanket of 80x 60, then you would subtract 60 from 80 giving you 20. So your starting chain would need to measure 20. Then your rectangle will begin to grow evenly all around, thereby making your length 20 longer than your width.

[@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

[@CraigsOverijse]

So nice to hear them called trebles, this the name my Nan taught me forty plus years ago the yanks confuse me

[@1elitegeek]

Thank you 🥰

[@bellacococrochet]

You’re welcome 😊

[@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

[@angelheartlove]

If you wanted to make a baby afghan from this, just continuing around. How many chains would you recommend starting with? Thanks

[@monaalharbi6002]

Thank you I have learned from you

[@alinamatete7784]

I got it right! Thank you

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@Bunefoo401]

Okay … I know this is an old video, but hoping you will see this comment, and be able to respond. If I’m looking to have a finished shawl approximately 25 x 60, how many multiples of 3 should I do for my foundation row? (I don’t want this to end up being a blanket, but also don’t want it to be too skinny). Thanks, and any help would be appreciated.

[@bellacococrochet]

It's difficult to give an exact number as it will all depend on the yarn you're using, the hook size and your own personal tension 😊 However if you're hoping to create quite a long rectangular shawl/wrap you will want to create quite a long starting chain - you may be best off having a practise and creating some swatches to help you.
