What stitch is used for the border in this example?

[@jadeddeath02]

I know this is an old video, but I really need to voice my appreciation for it. I've taken on a rather large project and am new to C2C, and this video has taught me everything I need to know to complete it. While I'm not exactly excited for the amount of bobbins I'm going to need, I'm happy I know how to do the colour changes and I'm excited to get this project underway. Thank you.

Another tip that I learned for c2c when changing color...so what I do is I roll my yarn into a ball and I take a stitch marker and I "pin it" to my work so that my yarn doesn't tangle and so my yarn balls don't "run" away from me! It really helps and makes it go way faster especially if im working large projects!

[@lynnettbailey9345]

You are an amazing teacher. My grandma taught me to crochet. You taught me to paint with yarn. I love this new way to crochet. Thank you

I was intimidated by C2C after seeing the amazing work that others have done, but I found a pattern I REALLY wanted to make and decided I would just have to suck it up and learn. I am so glad I found this video! It made the whole process more manageable and I am loving it! Thanks Mikey!

[@bonniemurphy1760]

[@juliacropper5104]

Thank you very much for the tips. I have done only 1 corner to corner project prior to this and believe me it was a struggle. I've been crocheting for many years but never from a grid changing colors and finishing tips made this project a breeze. Will post finished project when completed. Thanks again.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Excellent. I’m glad I could help.

[@joa7302]

This video totally demystify c2c crochet. If, like me, you’ve never done it before you might feel overwhelmed by the idea of bobbins etc.. but I jumped straight into it by trying a small pattern like Repeat Crafterme’s coffee cup square. It was absolutely fantastic to put in practice all the tips, particularly changing colours, and because it’s small I was done before loosing the plot like I would have probably done halfway through an Afghan. Now I feel a lot more confident to start a bigger project. Thank you Mickey you’re a great teacher 😁

[@noahlani1969]

Thank you very much for the tutorial. I know how to crochet the C2C, however I never did a project that require to change colors. I learned from you how to change color in graphgan SC. I struggle a little with the graph in C2C so I need to have my graph put in words. Usually, I can visualize the pattern but the c2c is quite challenging since I never know which way I am going. The ups and downs system is confusing as I have the same pb with right and left. Anyway, your tutorial is clear, short with good colors for a better understanding. Dark colors are more difficult to see. It is the best video to learn how to co a C2C from A to Z. Bless your heart.

That I never tried, just kinda gave up on the idea of learning. I will give it a go after I get my 4 current projects done. Very thankful. This started my Monday out right.
