Robin, Is there another yarn you could recommend that has a similar length of each color, please? I'm in USA and having difficulty finding it, plus I'd prefer no wool. Thank you in advance for any help you can suggest, Robin. MaryAnne in New Mexico 🌶 USA

[@susanleeks17]

Hi Robin! I have now made 3 blankets using this stitch! This is a wonderful pattern for highly textured yarns like boucle or Lionbrand Homespun. This blanket is brilliant!! Thank you so much!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

You are so welcome Susan!🥰🧶

[@Oceangirl_505]

May I ask about how much yarn it took you? I'm curious about a baby blanket. Thanks, Susan! MaryAnne 💜

[@susanleeks17]

@@Oceangirl_505 I used about 830 yards of a cat 5 (bulky) yarn to make a blanket 40"x 50" blanket. I hope that helps!

I often use this stitch for variegated yarns and always add an extra chain to ‘open it up’. This open row is just perfect to make it even lighter, especially when using cotton. Thank you.

[@HookedbyRobin]

[@patriciaa3462]

Very interesting. Haven't seen the C2C Open Block Stitch before. I like C2C because it gives me an easy to do solid blanket. My only question, was how to make it rectangular. And you answered that beautifully. Thanks

[@clydecoberly8698]

I loved watching your crochet video! Your setting up for an added border is absolutely brilliant. I usually always si gle crochet 3 times across the tops of all if the blocks and then do 3 single crochet over all of the chain 3 loops. Your way, again, is absolutely brilliant. Also much faster and easier!! Thanks❤❤❤ much love

I'm very much a beginner crocheter but I'm going to give this a go. I've done another c2c of yours but my tension wasn't consistent so it was a bit wonky. Looking forward to getting started once my current knitting project is completed.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Tension definitely comes with practice Helen.😃🧶

Absolutely give it a go, once you get going it gets easier!😃🧶

[@gautamiambiye9444]

Another wonderful video! Coincidentally, I am working on a C2C project right now, and tried out your open blocks technique right on the middle of the solid C2C I was doing, because I couldn't wait to try it out. It looks beautiful! Then I froghed out the trial patch and got back to my project. Thank you for a new technique!❤

I love that!😍 I am glad you like it.

[@HookedbyRobin]

I’m glad you like it Sandy!😃🧶

[@darrinmckeehan5697]

I began working this with a pretty Lion brand Mandala of pink/baby blue & lavender for a great niece. I've already had to frog twice. Gonna write the instructions down, and attempt it again when I'm not sleepy/groggy. This is my first corner to corner... and I liked the look of the checkerboard-ish pattern. But I goofed somehow 😮. Twice as I mentioned 🤷. Update=I started the video completely over, and I got it now 😊. It just didn't look right before I began again. It turns out that it was right the second time. It's all clear though now 🤓. I'll watch the prep for a border after a nap 🥱 and after my blanket is as big as it needs to be before decreasing. Thanks Robin 🤗

[@HookedbyRobin]

Always the best way, to come back to it.😃 I’m glad you managed it Darrin.

[@darrinmckeehan5697]

​@@HookedbyRobinThank you 😊. Almost finished with the main "body" of my blanket! Making it square, I'll probably finish it and start the border tomorrow 😍. It really works up quickly 😁.

I never tried C2C because I thought it would be kinda hard to remember. You made it look so easy and now I am hooked. I just dont want to lay it down. I say to myself I will do one more row and then stop, lol. Before I know it I have done 5 more rows. I love that yarn, never heard of it here in the USA but I have ordered some from James Brett . Thank you so much for this video. You do such beautiful work.

@@HookedbyRobin My daughter n law loved it so that she bought me some Red Heart Ombre yarn to make her one while I am waiting for my other yarn to come from the UK. I am using a size 5 hook because the yarn is thicker but it is turning out beautiful. Thank you for I know I will be using this pattern for some time.

[@maggietaylor9475]

Fantastic pattern and I love the yarn! Please could you tell me how many rows you did before you started to decrease? The reason I’m asking is so that I don’t run out of yarn! Thank you very much ❤
