So much clearer than another I just watched. With you simply repeating "single crochet, chain one...etc" made it so much easier to understand! Thank you!

[@kristibender3598]

I’ve made several of these using Bernat blanket yarn weight 6. It is my go to pattern for Bernat blanket yarn! I love how fast it goes and how soft and snuggly it is! I use a size N hook with this pattern using Bernat blanket yarn. 3 skeins make a good sized lap blanket or a large toddler blanket. I like to use 2 skeins of a variegated Bernat yarn then one skein of a matching solid for a border. Try this, you will love it!

[@kimberlydedmon7679]

I agree with Cathie's comment, this is 5 years ago and I wish I had seen this earlier. It never dawned on me to not join and skip past it! Easy peasy! Beautiful work! Appreciate you sharing your craft!

[@TheMeriel12]

it’s 7:28pm, I’m already washed up and in my pajamas, and I’m about to change and run to Michael’s so I can get yarn to start this project tonight. so excited!!

[@karenshady8129]

I cant tell you how helpful this is (I wish I could give it 100 thumbs up). Im a newbie, and have been struggling with joining this blanket for days !!!! Im so happy I found you. Thanks so much

[@dr.t.8656]

By far the best demonstration and explanation for making a square in Moss Stitch. ❣❣💖💖❣❣

[@vickiarduini5796]

This is so fantastic! It took me a while to figure out the magic circle because that was new to me, but the rest came together so easily. Thank you so much!! I will try and send a pic when I finish. I'm using the color Grape Jelly and it color changed right away, so satisfying! ☺💜💜

[@maryharvey9118]

Love love love how you teach this moss stitch in the round. Been looking for a good one. Finally, works up beautifully. I believe not joining is the key. Thank you so much.

[@cathiesmith0812]

Thank you so much for such an easy tutorial!!You make it so easy to follow without having to turn and slip st and all that jazz. I wish I had seen this tutorial sooner. Thank you again! I can't wait to see more of your tutorials.

[@kateyhankes4117]

This is so easy, thank you! I watched a different moss stitch square tutorial first. Kind of confusing so I went looking for another and found yours. Blew my mind with the "do not join". So much easier! Thank you!

[@catherinewilkerson2745]

This tutorial is AWESOME! Thanks

[@pudgeallday1265]

ive been crocheting for 30 yrs. this is the most mind blowing thing ive ever learned lol. made me dizzy the first time. thanks for the great video!

[@lindaharris1120]

I can not tell you how much I have struggled with moss Stitch squares ( well I just did tell you) then I saw your video. Thank you thank you thank you. I can now churn out these squares in no time and there is no ugly join line.

[@carolm.4623]

By far the best tutorial on it. I’ve watched a few and tried their approaches and very frustrating. Yours is perfect. Thanks!

[@onhiranch2678]

On the 4th side of the 1st round worked into the MR if you chain one before going to round 2 you avoid the minor flaw. The ch1 allows you to skip the first sc without pushing it forward which causes it to show. The ch1 gives it a seamless flow into the next round. Once you notice it you can’t unsee it.

[@playhooky]

What is meant by "MR"? I can't think of what you mean there.

[@onhiranch2678]

MR is magic ring. She begins the tutorial by working into it.

[@dianeshea4192]

I've tried so many patterns using this yarn, and I finally found the best one. Thank you for your tutorial and how easy it is.

[@DineeGal]

Thank you for making this video! It’s excellent ~ and hearing the repetitive words you say, comes into my head as I’m doing them on my own.

[@karencotterell-gd6ln]

Such a simple but so effective pattern. Thank you so much for sharing. This is great. 👍😊❤️

[@kathyvanhoek1821]

Love it! It is actually just as pretty on the reverse side!

[@megandd1797]

This is fabulous!

[@kndpowell]

I want to thank you so much for creating this tutorial for the moss stitch blanket. This stitch is one of my many favorites. I started my blanket today and it is beautiful so far.

[@barryjacobs8524]

Thank you very much. It’s very easy once you have shown how to do it properly as you have. Again th layout.❤

[@grannyvroomvroom2523]

Love the starting technique you use compared to other methods! Beautiful!

[@elainejan]

Thank you so much for making this video. I am making a beautiful, soft little blanket with Lion Brand Cupcake. It would have taken me forever to figure out how make a square so I really appreciate your taking the time to show it. I think this yarn and this stitch will make a nice scarf also because it is a finer yarn and a close stitch and definitely super soft. thanks again

[@akemim9434]

Love it. I made 6 baby blankets with this pattern. Thank you so much!

[@carolbaesler3963]

To fasten off at end of blanket see 11minutes Big Caron cakes wt 4 but hook size don’t know. But this is one of the best videos I have watched for awhile. Good job and thank you for your help and time .

[@suzette7849]

A big THANK YOU for this stitch tutorial 💙

[@bluhoteyes]

thank you so much you give great instructions . i haven't crocheted in years yet viewing a few times and i got it down pat now on to make a sloth baby blanket :)

[@darlenejames1343]

Luv, Luv, Luv this blanket, Thank You for your tutorial!

[@rockinthesuburbs2278]

Perfect project for a newbie! I made a gorgeous baby blanket for my nephew. Thank you for sharing!!

[@marianakrasner2035]

Thank you , very good and usefull explantion

[@susanmatthews9423]

I use a stitch marker to beginning of row. That way I get even square. I'm using Mandala yarn. It's going to take forever. But, I love this stitch. You're a great teacher. Thank you.

[@dianesuder9586]

I just finished my first preemie blanket and absolutely love the pattern. Thank you for doing the math to make this possible. I will be making many more and sharing this pattern with the ladies in my Threads of Love group.

[@akemim9434]

Love this pattern. I’ve made 2 blankets now. Thank you!!

[@cherylkapell8782]

I love this pattern!!! ❤ thanks so much for this video!!!

[@cimmarond7835]

I so appreciate your Posting. This is a LOVELY Block!

[@cimmarond7835]

I -can- see where this should be limited to blocks...because IF it grows TOO large the 'stripe' would be so skinny, or only partial-round, and loose the effect. Thinking ahead...

[@ayliaholmes3040]

This pattern works up beautifully and the video is super easy to follow for a first timer on this particular technique. Thank you!! I've done this in Bernat baby blanket tiny and it is gorgeous!

[@barryjacobs8524]

It’s lovely well done and Thankyou for showing me my next blanket project.

[@d.v.crystal5589]

[@cassandramcallister9701]

You made this so easy. Thank you

[@paulettepatenaude2267]

I've done many headbands using the moss stitch. Looking forward to doing a.blanket now. Thank you!

[@julies5515]

I may use this on my next blanket. I have some thinner cotton yarn that I want to use. I need to probably start it in a square and I need a tighter stitch. This may do the trick. I will have to give it a try.

[@carmitaliac6624]

Thank you for sharing! I love this stitch in the triangular shape and square.

[@alleyse1]

I haven’t worked with the carron yet! Love the stitch...must try!!

[@KrissD.]

Could u do this with separate colors and not a yarn that u don’t have to change colors? So let’s say I wanted a rainbow look blanket with different colors every couple rounds could u do that with this? If so.. how do I end each round and begin new with different colors? Thank you 🙏🏻

[@biomedlib]

Thank you for posting this tutorial....I printed the pattern, however, I had problems following the instructions....keep the patterns and tutorials coming.....

[@odilelisowski7175]

Perfect for a square !!! But please is it possible to shape a rectangle ??? I tried but it looks like ... :-((

[@rachellynne934]

Thank you

[@rowdeo8968]

I made two blankets they are beautiful!

[@traceyharris4807]

This is a great tutorial. I love how patient you are with your instructions. This might sound like a crazy idea, but how do you think this would look as an octagon?

[@cimmarond7835]

How about a 30/60 block...Hummm...

[@hiromi1038]

Awesome video! I make actually finish this! Thank you!

[@DaniaSchneider]

This tutorial was fantastic!!!! I was looking for both Caron Big Cake projects AND moss stitch in a square. I’ve already started my blanket thanks to you. Subscribed!

[@cenellyrodriguez8630]

Love this very much How long does it take to make a baby blanket in this stitch?

I love this thank you I will try it

[@nicolecharles1636]

Thank you for your direction

[@maryedwards6651]

do you have a border for this beautiful blanket? Thank you for the pattern. I've always loved the moss stitch and you've given me another reason to love it :)

[@leahhiett1706]

Love ❤️ love ❤️ love it!! A great alternative to the boring granny squares! I hate doing the Magic Ring. Is there any alternative to it?

[@onhiranch2678]

Ch4, join in 1st with a slip stitch. Work 1st round over tail end. Pull tight to close.

[@SrSrk98]

wow this is supercool...going to try in caron one pound Azure yarn...love that:) thank you

[@teresagavinho]

Very good idea. A simple tutorial but I have a huge doubt how end it? Make a slip stitch and be happy? Thank you in advance

[@edithcanole2457]

Thanks so much I understand everything you say. I'm going to do one now

[@rebeccapost8749]

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! Could you post a link to the triangle shawl you were talking about at the beginning of this video?

[@diane__mommiocrochet9842]

Beautiful! And I thought the Caron Cakes were on the thicker side too...I'll actually check them out now!! Love the colours and it looks like it would work up so quickly!! Hmmm do I sense a new project this weekend??

[@Roe0711]

Mine seems to be twisting/spiraling. What am i doing wrong?

[@stephanieladeinde3224]

Hi Did you join it at the end I'm just trying mine out Probably change the hooksize

[@iambabygirlslaughter]

Thank you for making this! Love it!!!

[@stephanieladeinde3224]

Thank you I'm working on it now

[@cocooshcrochet]

Very nice 🌹 thanks for great idea

[@mariekesnoeren8084]

Thank you so much! Can you also change colors in this method? Like when you dont have yarn that has colour change in it? Thankss x

[@colleenmisner454]

Sewrella is the one that did the Crochet Half Square Triangle Grannies with the two colors of white and mango

[@7gloryf]

Gotta try it! Thank you!

[@colleenmisner454]

Can you do this in two colors like Crochet Half Square Triangle Grannies where she used white and mango .. if so can you make a tutorial

[@pegstoltzfus1994]

love your moss stitch in the square. Do yo have any ideas hiw to change colIrs.? I am just not a big fan of self stripe. Tanks for you video it is very well done.

[@DrewJaynes]

I assume you just change colors at the point where you'd normally join. That's what I plan to do 😛

[@barbarawest1205]

This is WAY cool. I am headed to the tutorial now, but 2 questions: First, doe the square hve a tendency to twist if you keep going i the same direction? Second, just in case the tutorial doesn't address it, what if you *want* to change colors now and then?

[@deborahm4484]

Hi Barbara I was wondering the same, about how to change colours,, like for using scraps,, Love the pattern, Happy crocheting from Ireland,,

[@jackieward6695]

Terrific thanks

[@donnaarmstrong8390]

What if you want to change colour ? When do you do it ?

[@dianecrumbley90]

Such a nice blanket this will be. I have a question. After you do a corner, do you chain one before you go into the chain space?

[@donnataylor8802]

Yes

[@ashleymcdaniel2987]

So how do you end it? Since you didn’t slip stich join anywhere

[@samanthadupont4625]

I wish there was more a visional contrast between the white background and the yarn, having a hard time seeing it.

[@janaytaylor2344]

Love it thanks

[@colleenmisner454]

Can you do HDC instead of SC and have it look like the same pattern

[@Krissyrocksoutloud]

I would say technically no. A moss stitch is a moss stitch for its iconic little vs which you wouldn't get with half double. But you could still do the half double. It just wouldn't have the same v look to it. Overall, I think it would still look nice and work up quicker. Give it a try.

[@perfumetester10]

You keep saying not to join. I think "join with a slip stitch" cleaner. Your beggini by square is a touch off centered and a little Twinkie. That is because at the join you should be doing a slip stitch. Helpful hint. @repeatcrafterme

[@aliciaelena7422]

Thank you for this. I love it. But I have a question. You said you were doing the moss stitch, but you only worked single crochet. Was that a mistake in the title?

[@jessicavail9580]

The moss stitch is single crochet chain 1 single crochet that's the pattern

[@lupeparada2291]

Thank you so much for tutorial, I bought bernat pop yarn,will it be ok to use this one.

[@kimmorris4583]

If I want to change colors do I do it at the corner?

[@Bunny-v4d]

Why does mine started to have rounded edges 😩 how do I fix it

[@corrie-onagoodday1226]

I want to make this but I looked in Ravelry and none of these turn out perfect square

[@MelissaBellmelissabell]

How would you change the yarn out if you needed to

[@nicolem1552]

This is cool!!! BUT for the life of me I cant do a magic circle!!! Ive tried and tried urghhhh so do you have to start with a magic circle? If not can I start with a chain then slip stitch in first chain etc? New to crochet sorry if a silly question!! If its not possible guess I need to keep at this magic circle deal...

[@dutifuldoe]

Nicole M I don't like to use the magic circle. I just chained 3 and slip stitched into the first one to make a ring. It works just the same and I feel it's much more secure.

[@effieshaw4582]

I had trouble with the magic circle myself. There is a really good video on here kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmOcaXuunNiCZ9U. It really helped me. good luck :)

i wish i could learn how to crochet a moss stitch square blanket, but i dont know how to start it and you didnt explain it. thanks 10/10 tutorial.

[@katherine1951]

IS THERE A TUTORIAL WITH CHANGING COLORS. NOT FROM A VARIEGATED YARN. FROM DIFFERENT SKEINS.

[@Krissyrocksoutloud]

I'm thinking of doing this project with different skeins instead of self striping. I plan to work however many rows of a color I want and then end in a corner with a slip stitch. Then I will join the new color with a "standing single crochet" (or you could tie on the new color, do a chain one, then single crochet), chain 2, single crochet and then work on as normal. There's many ways to join a new color into a work but I would suggest no matter what you do, to join in the corner. It's always easiest to hide that way lol.
