OMG, the foundation chain plus the first row of single crochet makes so much sense! It stabilizes the center and makes it easier to continue with the granny stitches. I'm so glad I found this video.

Thanks for watching! Yes, you can block if you want to. 😃💕

I love this! I am making a similar blanket right now because of your help, and am wondering that as the blanket grows, how do you make sure the edges stay straight? i notice the edges of my blanket are becoming rippled

I turn my rectangle over every row! Hope this helps! 😊💓

Great video

[@crochetmelovely]

[@mrsmk27]

Such a lovely pattern. How do we proceed from row to row if we are using variegated yarn and not cutting off after each row? Would you just slip stich to the first corner space and continue the pattern? Thank you

[@crochetmelovely]

CH 3, make 2 DC into the space to the right, then CH 1, SK 3 STs, continue with the pattern going left.

[@crochetmelovely]

This is after the SL ST. Hope this helps! 😄

[@mrsmk27]

@@crochetmelovely thank you I'm going to try it out. 😊

[@marydomingue9902]

Love this. Can you make it using same yarn color? If so , how do you begin next row where chain 3 is used?

[@crochetmelovely]

Thanks! Yes, you would just follow this pattern with only the one color. 🤗💕

[@user-mi5cm1cm2z]

sorry to say but 3 three and the change of color left me lost as if there is a missing step if one wanted to just carry on with one color. got the last corner done,chain 3 and joined...then I was lost. experimenting isn't working so well lol. I love this pattern so I need to perfect it lol my gifting list is long! 😅

[@celsadesouza166]

hi..lovely video.. i have a question though.. if i want to make a granny stitch for a rectangle table of size 48 x 36 inches.,., so for this size what would you recommend my 1st foundation chain row stiches number to be?

[@crochetmelovely]

I have not made on this size yet. But I think it would be any even number for your starting row if you want to adjust it. Hope this helps! 😄💖

[@celsadesouza166]

@@crochetmelovely tks but tell mewhat number would you advisemeto make

[@user-mi5cm1cm2z]

oh.....I started with 28 for the center row. Even it you go a couple more or less it seems to very forgiving. 😊

[@pittiedoglove]

The first color you did a chain 2 to form your corner spaces. The second color you did a chain 2 forming that first corner but from then on you were using a chain 3 when making your corner spaces. So which should it be when making the corners: a chain 2 or a chain 3 ?

[@crochetmelovely]

It's CH 3. Saying CH 2 was just a mistake while filming. Hope this helps! 😊

[@francesb250]

@crochetmelovely how would you proceed with the 3rd row if you don’t want to change color? Thank you

[@crochetmelovely]

I would still Fasten Off my row, flip my blanket over and start row 3 with the same color. It helps to keep you rectangle straight and eliminate any seams in your work. Hope this helps! 💖

[@lilianahorjea8183]

Love it ! If I need to make the center longer - the center single crochet have to be in multiple of how many chains ? Thank you for your help 😊

[@crochetmelovely]

Thanks! Multiples of 3! 😊💖

[@cameronmerry9034]

I’m needing help with adding the second color. I don’t know how to attach it. Do you have another video explaining that in a bit more detail?? Sorry, I’m a beginner but your videos have been super helpful so far!

[@crochetmelovely]

Np! I do have a video coming out but, it won't be for like 2 months on my schedule. But you make a Slip knot, take the slip know through the ST/space, then start making chains. Hope this helps! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYSUeWqZoLJleaM 💖

[@MultiGrammi]

LOVE your videos! How many start chains to make a twin size Blanket? I have yet to find a formula to use as a guide. TIA .

[@crochetmelovely]

I only make throws, so you'd have to measure. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! 💖🙂

[@kindredinspirit]

I love the ease of this, I wish you would have shown the connecting new color, I can’t tell how you did that. I’m at a stop at this point :(

[@crochetmelovely]

You'd use a Slip Knot to add any new colors: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYSUeWqZoLJleaM - Hope this helps! 😊

[@josephinelaverde5093]

Wanting to continue on with same colour. How to continue where you left off???

I would FO, flip my rectangle each row and continue this same pattern with the same color. It keeps the rectangle straight. Hope this helps! 🫶💖

What is the finished size of your blanket??new viewer here. thanks for the timestamps as a older stitcher I struggle with crochet ing in front of computer. Can't wait to get this started. Going to be a stash buster for me thank you again for great tutorial I'll be back

[@crochetmelovely]

Thanks! It ends up being a throw size. I measured the length at 55 inches, but I don't remember what the width was. Hope this helps either way! 😃💓

[@christinavulpitta5492]

Hi! What size yarn and hook are you using in this video? Thanks!

[@crochetmelovely]

Medium weight yarn with a 5.5 crochet hook. Hope this helps! 😄💓

[@Emma-jw8gn]

hi there, how many grams of yarn did you use for the whole blanket? looks lovely!

[@crochetmelovely]

Thanks! I didn't keep track of how much yarn was used. I throw yarn in my stash then use it up over time. It's a throw size if that helps! 🤗💕

[@saigerage]

Thank you for sharing this awesome pattern! I am a beginner who's only made amigurumi so far and I'm lost on how you attached the second color at 7:05. Do you have a video that explains it, or could you explain here? Thank you so much :)

[@crochetmelovely]

Glad it was helpful! You would make a Slip Knot - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYSUeWqZoLJleaM then bring that through the new open space/ST to start. Hope this helps! 😊🫶

Hi, the example blanket is a throw size. You can adjust the starting row with even number of chains for any size you want to make. 🙂💝

[@BallroomMadeSimple]

When u have time would u do a short demo of this with one color, (No color change) and turning? I’m ending up in a different spot than where your color change is. Thx!

[@thetermite72]

Why do you use 2 chain for corner on row one then 2 chain on first corner of row 2 then 3 chain on the rest of row 2 corner.

[@crochetmelovely]

To use 2 or 3 is normal for a lot of patterns. I propbably forgot through the row and accidently switched. 😂😅

[@user-mi5cm1cm2z]

​@@crochetmelovely😅😂 happens to the best of us...more some if you haven't done it for a couple of years. After getting brain fog from the cvid shot, I thought this a brilliant idea to get a few brain cells back. This should be second nature to me but I need to slow the speed of vid down to 75 and still pause,still rewind It's that 3rd row corner and how to continue on that really has me stumped The color change came too fast for me to see how those important corners are. I've never flipped a peice of work but I am going to try. Wish I could join you on FB but I'll never go back there for security reasons. hugs to you. 🫂 🤗

How are you attaching the different colour yarn? I’m finding it unclear thank you :)

At 9:57 you say chain 3 for a corner but I thought it was always chain two for a corner. In the corner right before that you said chain 2 is why I’m confused

@@crochetmelovely​​⁠ I was wondering more about how I would continue with row 3 when I have to flip the rectangle. When I flip it the way the corner stitch is facing at 7:00 is hard to work with I feel I have to slip stitch across so that I can comfortably work in the back (which Ive tried…didn’t go well 💀) I hope this makes sense cause I couldn’t think of a better way to ask the question 😭
