Beautiful! I was able to follow all the instructions except the part of how to make both side ends the same? Wondering if there is a way to make the chair stitch all the way around?

[@BeCozi]

Yes, you can do a chair stitch all the way around, you can see our last video showing how to do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3iqXoqnbshna5o

[@davidarriaga4010]

Can you do how to do the triple criss cross stich?

I was thrilled to find you! Thank you for the great tutorials. Do you think this stitch can be used to make a hat? Best

Thank you! It probably can, it will be very thick and bulky though

[@alicea5]

All I’m thinking about is rolling that into a pillow.

Sounds good

Thank you for the help. Do you have a video showing me how to do this or even pictures of the steps?

The video is above, please, watch it to learn how to do it

[@suebean3873]

That’s very beautiful, however, I find that the bottom right hand side is rounder than the left hand bottom corner. Is there any way of rectifying that. It doesn’t seem square to me. Having said that, it’s a gorgeous pattern and blanket. Thanks for your expertise. You explain it very well. Thank you.

[@BeCozi]

Knit first stitch on a cast on chain to make the rigght bottom corner square

[@redbirdacreswi]

@@BeCozi I too saw that and I love this pattern but would like all the corners to be the same. I apologize but I don't understand your reply. Can you simplify it for a beginner please?

[@BeCozi]

@@redbirdacreswi In the video I skip knitting first stich on a cast on chain. If you knit the first stitch on the cast on chain - the corner will not be round.

When you need to start a new skein in middle of blanket. How do you do that?

[@BeCozi]

Connect the yarn with a simple knot. I shown in the video how to make a knot.

[@1dawnf]

i have 2 questions about the chunky blanket you did long ago. 1 im left handed im not sure if i should start on left side.. and 2 more importantly i did the 2 rows as you demonstrated when i get to the third do i start with the left loop or take the working yarn over to the right and start there? so do i always start a row on the right side or do i go back and forth? THANK YOU!!!! yours are the only instructions ive even remotely been able to do. so thank you

[@BeCozi]

Dawn, the best way to answer you question is to watch a video one more or a few more times - stop it, rewind it back, it is very detailed, you will understand what to do by watching it a few times.

[@KayWhite1]

You are working back and forth just like knitting.

[@tayloreason5135]

So I just made this (26 stitches across) and it seems too narrow to me. Is there a way to stretch it or add something to the sides to make it wider? It’s a Christmas gift and it’s plenty long I just wish it were about 6 inches or so wider. Also thank you for your wonderful tutorials they are so easy to follow! The blanket pattern is so beautiful and I’m a beginner and it looks great!

[@BeCozi]

Taylor, sure you can add some yarn around the knitted blanket, here is a video showing how to do it (the end of the video): kzbin.info/www/bejne/gorCnGiff8mkrNk. You can add one layer around the blanket and if it is not enough - the second one.

[@tayloreason5135]

@@BeCozi thank you so much. I will try that 😊

[@alanatowns3413]

Is it possible to do this same pattern but with two different yarn colors? If so can you make a video showing how to add the colors?

[@BeCozi]

Yes, it is possible. How many colors would you like? How wide lines of colors should be?

[@christynboston6888]

Can this criss cross or the cable pattern be done with needles? I have a hard time keeping the loops even without needles

[@BeCozi]

It sure can but this video is for Hand knitting. The project should lay on the table in front of you - this way it is easy to knit with your hands following the video instructions. This pattern is for intermediate Hand knitter. Maybe try to Hand knit some simpler patterns first: kzbin.infovideos

[@deann6933]

Is there away to add width if the Blanket is completed? I added a few more loops in the 1st row but it still isn't wide enough, like I would like it to be.

[@BeCozi]

It is possible to make it longer with the same pattern. For a wider version - the pattern will be going to the left and right, not straight

[@deann6933]

I don't really care which way it goes, I just would like it wider. And suggestions?

[@BeCozi]

@@deann6933 Cast on on one of the sides using the last row to create a row of new sticthes, then knit according to a pattern for as long as you would like to add on that side. Cast off. Do the same on another side. Then add on the bottom and connect both sides with every row knitting. Same on the top.

Can 1” tube yarn be used with this pattern?

[@Jesse-FenixRizin]

Love your videos and the many different patterns. If i can suggest something is for you to please keep your yarn from falling off your table. You having to pull on it constantly makes your video look disorganized. I know it may be something that is not as important as what the video is being made for, but it can get a little annoying. I don’t mean any disrespect, I just wanted to let you know so you can be more cognizant of that. Looking forward to new patterns. I will be ordering some yarn from your website soon. Thank you.

15 stitches, or 16? 15 or 16? Your instructions are inconsistent and causing me to begin over and over! Just say equal amount of stitches or unequal amount would also be helpful.
