CROCHET: How to crochet the block stitch | Bella Coco

[@OMGrannySquare]

I am in love with this box stitch. It reminds me so much of crocheting a granny square, because there is a lot of granny "clusters". Love it! Thank you so much. So beautiful.

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@sandrajones5747]

I would just like to say a very big thank you for showing this video and being considerate on someone who cannot do it so fast thank you

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

Very beginner friendly. I love that you give us time to pause the video and tell us when to pause. Thank you :)

I’ve spent the last few months crocheting for other people, hats & scarves for my Great nieces and my friends, along with a counterpane for my dear friends king-sized bed and a wrap by Sarah at Rich Textures for another friend. I’m thinking it’s my turn. I’ve recently given up on my duvet, I live alone, am disabled, I just couldn’t manage the duvet change. I feel so liberated! I need a second bedspread, I think this stitch might be just the ticket. It won’t be too heavy and I think it is so pretty! I’m thinking Special DK in white, with alternating rows of pomegranate and petrol, (I love those together.) I just hope it turns out as well as I think it might! Thank you, a great tutorial, as usual.

You're very welcome and don't forget to share your photo when its finished 😀

I chained 156 plus my 2. I used a solid color first and a multi color for my smaller row. I did 61 rows of solid. It made a beautiful lap blanket. Just finished and starting a new one. This is a simple but beautiful pattern and easy to understand thank you so much!!!!!!

[@jadia220]

I know that's beautiful..

I noticed your video on the side months ago and saved it. I just started a multicolored one yesterday for my grandson for his nap time at day care and I can't put it down. Your instructions are so easy to follow! Thank you for sharing and helping me *and so many other crocheters! They are a HUGE help for me!

[@lisadiannemoore7196]

Wow! This might be the perfect way for me to use up all my bits and bobs of yarn that I have literally all over my house 😂 Thank you fir yet again another wonderful and easy to follow tutorial ❤️

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@cakesbybeverleylloyd]

Thank you for making more complicated (to me) stitches so easy to follow 🧡

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome :)

[@anniewells1812]

I am new to crochet and have found your tutorials very easy to follow, so much so that I have succeeded in making a lot of small things. Now for a deep breath and a bigger project.

[@melvinbeli1]

I love your video. It's so clear and easy to see exactly where you're putting in the stitches, especially the bright pink. Often I've found tutorials in which they hold their finger up a little further and you can't see exactly where they're inserting the hook. You're my go-to instructor :D

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you so much, I'm glad it was helpful :)

[@Mzdiana82]

Love the tutorial and the colors also. It's 2:30 am here in California, USA and I'm watching your tutorial, its bathroom time for my dog. Thanks for your time and sharing. 🖒💜🌷

[@dr.shripadfutane580]

Very good and clear method of teaching and thank u for using English version

[@merleh13]

I’ve now completed two blankets using this stitch and am on my third, so beautiful. I’ve made up my own edging, but would love you to do a tutorial on how to put a border (simple, of course) on the finished project, please 👍🏼

[@Rosa-mb5yp]

Hello Sara Jane. Started a Box stitch blanket and must say this is a very therapudic pattern, thank you so much...and now to the cluster shell stitch...I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS❤❤❤😍

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you so much for your lovely comments 🙂

[@jenniferking6105]

So much easier than another video I watched. I got so frustrated I just threw it away. I’m definitely going to try this method!

[@bellacococrochet]

Glad it helped :)

[@aminayusuf2491]

I love your tutorials, very easy to understand and the stitches are also very lovely.

[@a1diemus]

love the FAQs in the description area! I found the star stitch takes a little extra time per row compared to the double crochet stitch. Gonna try this block stitch.

[@chaliceguard4575]

Love this stitch. Thanks for sharing. To avoid so many loose ends, I think I'd just carry the contrast color up the side and then add a border edge that would hopefully hide the carried yarn.

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome :)

[@khaidariaz]

I am from Pakistan . Love your videos. Very easy and very clearly guided.thank you very much . Love it

[@empressnkzoo]

Thanks for that. I have wanted to learn a new stitch, now I have a few. Now I can finish my tea and watch more of your videos.

[@sarahb7283]

Thanks Sarah Jayne. Beautiful pattern. Look forward to Sunday's, I sit with a cuppa, watch your vlog and tutorials and then crochet. Thanks to your tutorials I've started my very first big project - my first granny square blanket using your join and go method! I'll be ordering some more wool off you soon 😊. Xxx

[@suhanarazali506]

[@elizagreenwood7878]

i am a beginner crocheter! your tutorials are amazing and so easy, THANKYOU xx

[@celticangel3366]

Good Morning Sarah-Jayne. Thank you for another great video. I'm thinking that this stitch will be A good stash buster for smaller projects. On another note. Tank you for teaching me how to switch between UK and USA terms. As you u both in all your videos it has made it so much easier for me to learn without looking it up all the time. I hope that you have A great Sunday. X

[@oh72911]

[@Watkiama]

Thank you SO much for this tutorial! I saw a video on Instagram of this stitch and I was so upset that it was in another language and couldn't figure out what it was. It is gorgeous!

[@rosemariemisciagno2555]

I find your video's so easy to follow and enjoy crocheting with you. I am trying to make a king size bedspread and am having a lot of trouble finding how to figure out the amount of yarn I would need and have decided to use this pattern. I am hoping you or someone can help me figure it out. Thank you so much and I look forward to your next video!

[@carrie8351]

I love your videos, they're so easy to understand and your accent is beautiful😊 I'm American, so to me it's an accent, haha. Thank you for posting all of your crochet videos, you are one of my favorite KZbinrs!💞

[@kesshemingway740]

Maria Guzman once you get the first few rows down,and the procedure at the row ends (to turn for another row) it works so fast and easy! Such a fancy look to it and so easy! (I just finished a baby blanket of this stitch-my first time using it! 36x36)

[@colleenhenry8022]

I am trying the stitch but I may have to try it over

I love it. Regular with your patterns. Good teacher. Thank you take care. Love from South Africa

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you :)

[@meganmcgowan5798]

Nice! I do my ends a little differently. The yarn goes into the same place, but instead of using a darning needle, I just use a small hook, insert it into the same place as the narrator placed the darning needle, and just gently fish the end through just like she does with the darning needle. This might be easier for those who have trouble threading the needle. Hope that helps! .

[@minella4962]

I do that sometimes when i can find my darning needle.

Thank you for doing this tutorial, I asked about this stitch recently, so, very pleased to see it, you always explain every thing so well. xx

[@shakunnaidoo190]

Hi. I'm hooked on crochet. Love the patterns.

[@PatriciaPqr]

There is a another option for the first two rows of this stitch pattern. It is making the first row of DC's in a count that is a Multiple of 3. Then for the second row, not to go in between the posts but only on the stitches of each DC, following this sequence, SC, * SC, CH2, SK 2, SC * SC

[@aprilpratt7154]

going to be using this for my pillowcase! can't wait to try this! great tutorial.

[@lillianevans1020]

Thank you for a great tutorial......my work with the second color is looking like a "V" rather than a tight single stitch. What could i be doing wrong?

[@stonytina01will-not-be-ban78]

Instead of a stitch marker, one could use a bobby pin. Works fine for me.

[@China7332]

Hi Sarah Jayne maybe a silly question but! why don't you turn the work and take the alt colour back along. What is the reason for 'tying off' TIA x

[@sallybulahao9716]

Very nice. I'd do this as a border for my WIP project. Thanks.

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome :)

so beautyful

[@dewiirawati4117]

I love this crochet pattern

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you :)

[@melodymaben5917]

Is there anyway you can carry the pink instead of cutting it off constantly?

[@carolheverin8814]

I love this pattern! Do you really have to cut the pink at the end of the row if you are just going to go back to the same spot after you finish a white row?

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you, I’m glad you like it 😊 Yes, due to the way the stitch is worked - however if you really want to avoid the ends you could split the yarn that you’re using for the double crochet rows into two so you have one at each side to carry up as you go.

[@viktoriafadel1982]

It's so beautiful!! Thanks for teaching!

[@annuraj1933]

Very nice stitch, thank you, now I need a project where I can use it.

[@thenaturalgemini]

Simple and easy, thanks for sharing

[@msadoc]

Good Morning, I love your videos, especially the block stitch with the hot pink accent. I wanted a PDF copy and went to your site but could not find it. Do you have one for this pattern? if so, can you point me in the right direction to purchase it? Thanks

[@queen_bee4042]

What border would you suggest? I am a noob at crocheting, well since last October. I can pretty much learn any stitch but borders completely elude me.

[@bellacococrochet]

Borders can definitely be more tricky to master, but if you work a round of double crochets (UK terms) around the edge you then have a foundation for any edging that you want. A block edging would look good with this stitch as it continues the theme: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH-ThJ1mfqd1arc 😊

[@donnaheffernan9987]

I am finding my edges are a little tight (particularly on the dc/tr rows). Do you think it would be better to ch4 instead of ch3? Thank you 😊

[@bellacococrochet]

We all crochet slightly differently and with different tension, so if you find that a chain four works better for you then you should go ahead and do that instead 😊

[@sherrieanorman2816]

BEAUTIFUL!!

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you :)

[@sarahahmed7711]

I love this stitch. It is so pretty! Mine turned out to be kinda oval though. Thanks❤️

[@sherit8594]

😀 how did you get Oval?

[@charmainerimmer5536]

Hello thank you for teaching me so many different stitches I have used many of your patterns I am so glad I came across this pattern. I wonder if you have a tutorial on how to use this stitch as a beanie if so can you add it to your treasure chest of tutorials. Thank you. Charmaine

[@almaramirez6987]

Love it. Do you have a pretty border for that stitch? Thank you.

[@fotyfar]

[@bellacococrochet]

[@Sarah_Skys]

Love the videos! They are always super easy to follow! And we have the same first name! Hah

[@favouritemusic8959]

Bella Thanks so much for this.. Could l ask you could you do the block stitch around a granny square blanket as a border. Sendind💚

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome 😊 Yes; I'd work a row two to start off with (the dc and chain space row) and then work the next row.
