Part 1 - C2C Join as You Go Blanket Crochet Tutorial!

[@pjsebby3194]

Hi Craig. I am making this today and let me say how much easier your decrease is….chaining three instead of slip stitch is a game changer. Be well stay safe and stay warm.

[@bertriddle1411]

Thank you for all your knowledge in crochet. I’ve been doing alot of mosaic in the past 3 years and had to come back to something easy. I actually forgotten how to do C2C and where did I go…straight to your videos. Than you again for all you do.

[@krystalsimon9924]

I can NOT say enough about how much i enjoy your tutorials! Your humor, wit and charm make what seems like complicated patterns for me (as i am a beginner) very very much bearable and fun to watch and practice over and over! Thank you!! ❤

[@knittinghands23]

THANK YOU for doing this!!!💚💚💚 I have been in need of this for a stash buster and create a blanket for some who lost everything in a fire.

[@karensemones9302]

I love doing c2c. You are the first to use a chain 3 when decreasing to get to the next section to make a square so that is quicker than slip stitching in each stitch to get to the next section. Look forward to your next video showing how to join as you go, and I like the gingham and colors you used.

[@erikabott9209]

Glad you brought it up I like the way he did it going to do it also on my next c2c blanket

[@lizblank4852]

I am glad that this was the first tutorial I found then 🥰

[@ceceliamccalman6327]

watching your tutorials during this 2020 crazy year -- in sooooo many ways crazy! ---- I'm trying to find the words to convey how much you have brought peace into my life. You have introduced me to many new patterns ...I've been crocheting, knitting, tating, etc for 70 years ... no where near an expert of any .... but each new tutorial is like a mystery that I'm glued to your every word to solve .... and you do it everytime. Sorry I'm so long-winded, rambling and ???? Just know that I'm sending you blessings.

[@kimwhitehead5109]

I'm so excited for this tutorial!!! Thank you so much for all your hard work helping us become more creative by learning through sight. I'm almost done with the kaleidoscope blanket for my 85year old grandma. It's been a very special project for me. I can't thank you enough.

[@lorelebeverland5585]

Thank you. I have tried c2c twice and didn't get it (small strokes) You just made it so simple, as you do everything I have learned from you. I get confused really easily even after crocheting for 50+ years. New things are hard for me. Thanks again!!!

[@Islandflower66]

Omg! I should've watched your video on c2c squares first lol, the way you do your decrease rows is way easier than all the videos I've seen where you slip stitch across the top to decrease. Thank you for simplifying this step for me. Okay I'm off to finish my square with ya.🙏🙏🤗🤗🥰

[@gabram71]

OMG! Thank you... I've been on a crochet slump and couldn't find anything that grabbed my attention until now. Definitely going to make this for myself. Now the hard part is choosing the colors. :) Thank you for the videos!

[@christinejudd9821]

Thank you for making this video! I love c2c! I am going to make one for my husband. I hate joining individual squares. This is exactly what I was looking for!

[@mrsyukoncornelius1732]

Thank you, Craig, for this C2C square throw as I plan to make a blanket for Boggy Creek to donate, and I was so excited when I saw the squares you put together as you go! Again, thank you so much!❤

[@louandrews5584]

Omg, you decrease is awesome, I hated skip stitching to the space on a decrease, yours is so much better, and makes a border easier too. I love it, I love you lol xx

[@KLD521]

I love this stitch, I made a scarf and blanket using C2C. It works up really fast. I enjoy how you incorporate the join as you go method. Thank you so much for sharing. You are awesome! Respectfully, Donna K.

[@tkgcreations3247]

I always have coffee while crocheting makes for a great day. Thank you for the video.

[@margaretrcordes2756]

Don't you want to be sponsored? You are just so very awesome. I love how you explain the process, and your voice keeps me from becoming discombobulated :). I have watched you for a long time and have crochet many of your projects. You are my favorite go to crocheted! Thank you Fiber spider. Love you guy!!

[@tylerrivera1716]

I've been wanting to learn the corner to corner blanket and as soon as I saw Fiber Spider I got super excited! I love watching your videos, I've been crocheting since I was a kid, and it's nice when I want to learn something new I can always count on never having to frog when watching your tutorials! Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher ❤️

[@pamboyett5241]

I love his videos. So easy to follow. And his conversation makes you feel like you are in same room.

[@tootsiequilt]

I made one using Lion's Brand Mandala Yarn in the color of "Groot". I used 1 cake to make a long strip approximately 10 inches wide (16 blocks) X 50 inches long. Four cakes will make a baby blanket. Now I'm making one in the color way of Nifflers. It's quite interesting to see the colors line up differently, in each strip. I'm going to do more experimenting to see what else I can do with this technique. Thanks Craig. I always recommend your videos to people I meet in the yarn section. ❤

[@TeresaJohnson263]

I’ve made several c2c blankets - your decrease method is different and much easier and looks really good - I’ll definitely be trying this on the large c2c blanket I’m currently working on once I get to that decrease side.

[@judyhoffman1359]

This is so new to me. I guess once you get the hang from it, it makes more sense. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@kellieg1970]

Great tutorial!! Made one of these about six month ago in gray, cornmeal (yellow) and off white. Easy and quick project....

[@angelafisher7984]

Thank you for this tutorial :) I love it. Your voice is always so calming and you explain your patterns very well and easy to follow

[@ashapatel878]

Thank you for the tutorial. You are awesome. Love your calming voice and all your videos.

[@barrynanahu996]

I love your tutorials ... always amazed at how you give the yarn makers a plug even though they don't sponsor you. Wish they would ~ you so deserve it xx

[@FiberSpider]

Thank you, I try to always mention the yarn brand regardless, that way you can duplicate my results, or try something else, whichever you like. 😉

[@barbsanderson231]

I can do c2c, this way seems a whole lot easier! Just started watching PT 2 and yeah, this technique of joining as you go is AWESOME!! Can see a few gingham throws in my future. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[@kikki8744]

I just want to thank you! I have watched many C2C tutorials and for the life of me I just could not get it!! I totally got it now!!

[@tinahwang3333]

Same here! I agree with Kikki. :)

[@lizblank4852]

Thank you. You are so clear in your tutorial, I am so glad that I have found you. Can’t wait to get started 😊👍

[@carolsnyder7778]

LOVE LOVE this!!!!❤️❤️ Your tutorials are also so simple to follow!!! Simple instructions and calming voice!! Love your crochet tutorials!!❤️❤️

[@christinecurtis9109]

Thank you for the C2C continuous join tutorial, I started a blanket using your videos and it's coming out great! I could never get the hang of the decrease UNTIL you taught me how. I see many color combinations in my future with this pattern. Thanks again and Hugs!

[@cherylgreene7958]

I enjoy your teaching and how you do not do it too fast. I have been enjoying crocheting one of your Bavarian Crochet blankets.

[@paulakoncki4029]

Beautiful!! I have never done a C2C, looks easy!! Will be my next project!! With out the video tutorials I will be lost! I just love your patterns and videos! Regards from South Africa 🥰🧶🌺

[@twinthinguk3621]

I love this technique and have used it often. Your tutorial explains everything so well, thank you for sharing x love from the UK x

[@diannep6945]

11:05 well I have watched many videos and you explain yours very well… I have to watch it a couple of times because it is as clear as mud in my mind.. I will try it after my second time watching!! I will say doing the waffle hat is going amazing!! I hope this c2 goes as well 😳🇨🇦

[@TamaraLR]

Thank you so much for this video on the first block..I’ve done corner to corner before, but just the row by row one..I love your videos, you do a very good job on showing how to crochet..😁🤗👍🏻👍🏻

[@Julie-oj5xm]

Thank you for this tutorial. I have been wanting to try c2c for a long time now and was just not getting it now i think I will give it a try thanks again.🇨🇦

[@redeemedsayso]

Love this! Thank you. I like the way you're decreasing better than slip stitching up the side.

[@momgrandma5496]

As others are saying, chaining 3, then slipping into the space is easier, I think makes it more delicate too...on to video #2.

[@cauti1969]

I just adore your personality & tutorials!!!

[@bluerosecrystalsoul]

Looking forward to using up all of my yarn remnants and making a blanket with this technique. Thank you.

[@quinellleftwich1781]

ive always wanted to do a gingham blanket and didnt think I could with all the color changes. But this way I know that I can and will be as soon as I am done with making Christmas gifts. Thank you so much!

[@heidicook2395]

I really love the way that you changed three when you decreased I learned it to slip stitch and eat stitching that was a bit of a pain before your way. Thank you so much.

[@bajkotek]

Same here! This method is waaay easier than one with the slip stitches. Thank you, Fiber Spider!

[@ruthieshields189]

Love your tutorials! Thanks for making this one especially. I have some beautiful yarn remnants that I've been wanting to do something special with. So glad I found this. 🧶💙

[@gailp2013]

First time watcher of your channel. This is a great tutorial. I am going to give this a go. I love your commentary throughout the video and your little giggles make me giggle... TFS

[@amandall3633]

Oh my god. I'm making a bolster cushion cover I C2C, but I'm not going to have enough of the gradient ball that's doubled up with a neutral. And I don't want to buy more. So that's for another cushion now. I there for thought I'd do small granny squares, which look good but I don't like doing. Then you come up with this. PERFECT TIMING, MY WONDERFUL SPIDER. I like C2C, so I'll do smaller squares than yours alternating it as I do from variagated then plain. You are a ster Thank you 👍💕😇

[@juliaroses6288]

Beautiful 😍... thank you Fiber Spider for sharing this tutorial.

[@sofiablakey6454]

You are a marvelous teacher! 💕💕💕

[@nataliestreet8938]

I hate stitching together so this really is a big deal for me, thank you 😊

[@lauramcdonald9458]

Thank you! I just started a c2c for my mother-in-law. im gonna change it to this i think.

[@cookeemama]

I really like this JAYG. I wish you could show it for us lefties. TG I've made a few C2C items. But it took me a couple of days and a few bits of frogging before I got it translated in my little brain. Fortunately, I've had a lifetime of translating right to left or I might have gotten too discourage. But it is definitely a fun and gorgeous project. Thank you for the 4 parts and being so clear in your demos.

[@joyvalle1]

This is exactly what I was thinking of trying but didn’t know how to get the squares together. You are just the greatest. The fact that you can read my mind is, I have to admit, pretty scary.😊. Again, congratulations on 100K, although I am really not surprised.

[@casey111]

On my phone these colors look grays and yellow which I love, instead of cream and blue. Lol

[@alinalize6023]

I agree.

[@jindabyne1509]

Same here lol Much better for me than blues and white lol

[@michelleclark79709]

Definitely looks grey and yellow to me. Especially the dark grey because it looks marl to me

[@allieg6401]

Same! I was like what the heck?? Blue?? It could be the video settings in editing the saturation turned down?

[@hollowstreets3575]

I just started watching your videos and I just love them. I'm so happy with all your work you explain them so great and your voice is so calming

[@ericabates5361]

Hello, thank you this C2C is Fabulous 😁 & I love your colour choices 😋 & a join as you go is the best option for me (no ends to sew in) 💕 Erica x

[@magda23792]

Easy to understand and follow. Even though I speak another language. Thank you. 😊

[@ankakonieczna9580]

I love you I love you!!!!! I was thinking about it for a month. You can read my mind. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@mschonher]

This is so beautiful and a very interesting technique. Are there written instructions for this blanket? Also love your color choices, you have a wonderful color sense. Thanks for the wonderful instruction.

[@charlotteusan2342]

Love join-as-you-go except if one gets lazy and doesn't weave in properly, washing leads to disaster! Learned the hard way!

[@simoneschmitz7214]

I really love this pattern❤ ,and i can not wait for the next part of it😎.I Think I could do a baby blanket of this. THANK You👍

[@bernadettebailey5370]

Beautiful and easy to follow!

[@lauralangevin9803]

So excited to start this... so far, so good! :) THANK YOU!!!

[@hooksstitches9535]

I am making a patchwork c2ç at the moment and I have forgotten how to start another square to link it on to the rest I haven't had time to do for a few weeks and can't seem to get it right with the blocks facing the opposite way so I have gone wrong somewhere I expect I will look forward to part 2 now xxx

[@mahahanna2417]

Thank you again, YOU are GREAT help! Love your videos.

[@susangetzschman4029]

The colorage is beautiful!

[@marlenehinder4901]

thank you i pick up the c2c pretty fast i like the patterns .

[@applebloomful]

hi...I am like, a super beginner here. like, I was in a crocheting club in middle school but stopped before high school and haven't tried it again since, and now I''m 25. but I really would love to try making this blanket! But I have questions and I figured I would just go ahead and shoot my shot, in case anyone can answer?? 1. if I wanted to use a cushier/thicker/softer type of yarn, I'd probably need to use a different needle size, right? 2. how much yarn do y'all think I would need to make this in a queen size blanket? and does that depend on the type/thickness of the yarn? 3. lol is this a bad literally-my-very-first-since-middle-school project? is there a simpler patchwork blanket I should make? Sorry for all the questions, but thank you in advance!!

[@KeepItSimpleNailsbyAllisonSoto]

Oh wow I just love those colors!! Fantastic video as always!! Hugs

[@Akinsh58]

The colors are nice....but I think I'm color blind! The off white looks yellow and the blue looks grey! I'm really in trouble 😂

[@KeepItSimpleNailsbyAllisonSoto]

@@Akinsh58 I'd say a dark cream and grey tones, not quite what he said but that's just his lighting. But I love grey's and cream tones lol so yeah love the colors.

[@dillsingh4113]

You're so amazing I just love your tutorials x

[@MK-qg9ej]

Thanks so much for this tutorial series. I had just finished my latest project, a Bavarian stitch baby blanket when my aunt dropped off a box of yarn someone had donated to her church. While there were very few full skeins, there were enough of certain colors that a patchwork c2c afghan would look absolutely beautiful. You make things so easy to understand. Thanks again

[@michellefryar518]

It's beautiful, but on my little dumbphone, it looks like it's dark grey, light grey and yellow

[@janettemcgregor5712]

Michelle Fryar - I see those colors too

[@kssongbird81]

I think it looks like that for all of us, lol

Why is the screen size so small in lateral view. I’m using iPhone 10xs. I love the c2c Afghans. They are definitely fun to make. Keep showing us how to make Ned patters from stitches that we know. I’m going to start your Afghan today.

[@joeyxoxox7915]

I like your videos,but I do not like the picture frame look when watching the video. Please change that picture frame look back into a full screen picture. Love ya man.

[@jennyantognoni5411]

Did you say "blue". It looks greys, light and dark. Funny.
