I watched the entire series and it was so helpful! I just didn't know how you manage the yarn and making the bobbins, such a great idea! And the panda and the flower one is beautiful, I was maybe going to make a purse with a smaller one that I will design in excel. So many useful tips! Thank you! :)

I’m binge watching your videos. I’m trying to get a good grasp on how to do these. to make it easy on my beginner self, I’m gonna make the first couple rows just the back ground color.

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Wow, I feel special...I'm being "binge watched"... how cool is that! Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. Happy Crocheting!

Such a great explanation for something complex. Thank you.

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

You're welcome.

[@BootsieSweettarts]

Well well well... I feel like I’ve been in a back to the future story. Graphghans is a new term for me even though I’ve been making crochet projects forever. THANK YOU for this wonderful demo to get me started. I like one color FILLET CROCHET but this adds an entire new art form to my project basket. Wonderful... your explanations are so clear and easy to follow YAY! New Sub here!!!!

[@chickadeeacres3864]

Yes! I was reminded of filet crochet too!

[@Chewy41915]

I’m so happy I found your channel. You do a great job at explaining all the details. I have a graphghan project I’d been wanting to start but have been intimidated by it since I’ve never crocheted a graphghan before. But this is the first beginner graphghan tutorial that I’m able to follow and understand!! I was almost feeling hopeless for a bit there😅. I think I may be ready to tackle that project now. Thank you so much 🎉❤

[@lindamurray5503]

I'm a beginner, and I want to make a graphghan blanket like 54x60, in sc, so how do I figure it out to make it that size?

[@nighthealerrn1695]

Can you use counted cross stitch patterns?

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

ABSOLUTELY!!!

[@sweetybegum512]

Can you do this panda tutorial for this design.

[@ummsalamah7711]

I love your tutorial becuz it's so thorough. But it does not look like 60x60 or 30x30?? Going down look like shorter rows??

[@chickadeeacres3864]

That was going to be my question. But I think if you did a sample plain sc square, then count the rows and columns and adjust your graph accordingly, you can achieve a fairly decent image.

[@Xx_Lara2323_xX]

1st I’d like to say thank you so much! SO HELPFUL! And 2nd I wanted to ask if your base chain stitch is 30+1 because of the foundation stitch usually loses a stitch, because the 1st sc is in the second chain from the hook?

[@twilightsdawningpalladino9997]

I came here to ask this, too. I'm disappointed the poster didn't respond ☹️

[@gigi60learns14]

What if I want my graphgan larger

[@elizabethhenson9954]

I love your panda graphgan.where did you get it? I love your video.

[@BeckysYarnEscape]

Hi I love your designs I'm going to try my.hand at graphgans very soon. My sister gave me 2 graphs to try and I would.like to make them larger than a baby blanket. Any suggestions on how to take my current pattern and make it larger?

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Hi Rebecca, thanks for your question. I personally would scan the image and then enlarge it on my computer. You can then print it out on graph paper. I may print on more than one page, but you can tape them together to give you the finished image. This way, you can make it as large as you want! Hope this was helpful...Happy Crocheting!

[@BeckysYarnEscape]

@@NilerTaylor-relindesigns thank you I will see what I can do to do that

[@teresagibson5015]

can you use a c2c graph to do a graphghan? and if so how will it differ in stitches?

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Yes you can. You would use the same concept as the single crochet, only difference is the way you join the yarn and also remember that the scale will be much larger so you'll have to scale down the size. Maybe I'll make a video on a C2C crochet graphghan. Thanks for your question.

[@sabrinamartinez7682]

I to make graph grid first but Idk how to make it

[@wsunbeam]

It looks like I am late to the party, most of the comments are 1 or 2 years ago. My question is Do I need to do anything different to crochet with my left-hand (rows would be left to right instead of right to left)? I am used to reversing the instructions of a written pattern for the past 50 years, would it be the same on a graphghan?

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Not a left hand person, but I would think so.

[@Kchirpy]

Thank you ma'am!

[@stephaniecanales1148]

Do we have to chain one more due to the sc?

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

If you're talking about starting a row, you can chain 1 or 2, the results will be the same.

[@stephaniecanales1148]

@@NilerTaylor-relindesigns it's been so long I already forgot. Lol

[@helixfossol5833]

You said your graphgan was 30x30 but it was a rectangle, not a square! Does that mean my pattern will be stretched out horizontally when I crochet?

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Thanks for your question. Actually it does end up being rectangular. The 30 x 30 is the number of stitches. The vertical rows of single crochet stitches are shorter than the horizontal single crochet stitches. To make it square, you would need more vertical rows than you would have in horizontal stitches. I hope this make sense to you. Let me know if I need to illustrate it. Thanks for watching.

[@consolemadamethirdkill]

Thank you so much

Where you got the ruler graph paper sheet?🤔

[@MarnysCrochetandCrafts]

Would you chain one more at the end for your turning chain?

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

You could Marna, if you wanted to. That's the beauty of creation... you can do whatever you like with your graphghan... whatever makes you feel comfortable. Thanks for watching and for your question.

[@SpiritBear12]

I saw a book on what looks like some fairly simple graphghan afghans in a catalog I have. I have never done a graphghan before, but I consider myself about an intermediate crocheter. I think I could figure out what to do, but my problem is that I'm left handed, so everything I do is reversed. I'm not sure if I can Xerox the graph pattern and have it printed in reverse, but if there are written instructions with it, I'm not sure how to do that backwards. I'm interested in buying the booklet (it has patterns for 4 afghans) before it's not offered any more by the company, but since i can't see what the instructions look like, I'm not sure I can do it. I can crochet right handed, but it tends to hurt and my stitches are not as even and sloppy.

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

I'm so sorry for the difficulties you are having. I don't know how to crochet left handed so I can't be of much help...sorry.

[@petrapashley3592]

SpiritBear 12 I am also left handed. I don't think it really matters which side you start as it will look the same on both sides.

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Thank you Petra!

[@latricestewart9021]

how to make a graphghan for a queen size bed

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Hi Latrice, my suggestion is to get your length and width measurements. Depending on the hook size that you are using, determine how many stitches make a row. Single crochet to the width of the finished size. Now, determine how many single crochet rows will make an inch. You would multiply that many rows by the number of rows it takes to make an inch. Once you have a graph of your blanket size, you can now add the picture. I hope this helps, if it does, message me back...we will figure it out together! Happy Crocheting!

[@gailland8681]

I want to make a graphgpan too. I wish to make it big size. Like 6.5 feet square. But to start I want to try a small one. Maybe for kitchen table. A center piece.

[@jmarylastone]

how clever!

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Thank you so much...the remainder of the pattern will be released shortly.

[@vestahagan6129]

How do you know what size hook to use

[@NilerTaylor-relindesigns]

Good question. The larger the hook the bigger the work. You can use any size hook you like. I am personally partial to hook sizes J K & I when making my graphghans. Hope this helps. Thanks for your question.
