[@margaretrisner6874]

Hello! Thank you so much for these clear video instructions! It cleared up my confusion about the middle part of the rectangle. You may want to check the instructions on your website, for the middle part it says to "Repeat Row 2" when it should be to Repeat Row 1 and Row 2. Thanks again for a great video!

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Hi Margaret! Thanks for pointing that out for me! I’ll get it corrected in the morning. I really appreciate it 😀

[@an-alechianeathery770]

You have a knit 2 in video but pattern saying knit 3 on row 2 which doesn't make sense.

Have a TON of yarn to do something with! So glad I found this video! Now I can reduce my stash, make blankets for people, use my interchangeable needles and extend the cords, and free myself of the 'hoarding my yarns' guilt!!

Lovely. I just finished a C2C crochet blanket. Now, I’m going to “knit” a C2C blanket too. Thank you 🙏🏼

It’s a pleasure :)

[@reneepryor2190]

Thanks so much for sharing this blanket pattern! It’s my daughter’s favorite! I made her newborns 45 inch square ones. The little toes don’t get caught; and, the blankets were big enough to swaddle them!

Sounds lovely! 🥰

[@christinenewell2679]

I can’t tell you how pleased I am on this day to have found your channel. I don’t want to bore with my problem’s suffice to say that 4 yrs ago I had a stroke. I am immensely lucky to have come through all of that and I count my blessings every day. BUT…. (there’s always a but) my brain isn’t quite right, in that i find ‘counting’ hard and my speech has been badly affected. I used to be able to knit, pretty much anything especially Aran patterns . I loved them. To cut a long story short, I can knit, I can crochet and I’m thankful but as a beginner. I love garter stitch because it’s easy and I spend my time knitting and crocheting baby blankets and they go to our ‘Baby Basics’. So, thankyou for your clear, concise tutorials and excellent camera work. I’m going to start this corner to corner blanket tomorrow….gets my creative juices flowing again🎉❤. Thanks and hello from beautiful NI, Belfast.

Hi Laurelin, Have just discovered your channel and have been enjoying your videos. I am a visual leaner and find the way you give your tutorials very easy to understand thank you for sharing. Just this week (September) I have been blessed with my first great grandchild, and this idea for a blanket is exactly what I needed to keep me busy as we come into the long winter evenings. "Mindless knitting" is perfect as there is no pattern but the actual finished item looks great. Chris from Kent

Loved this demo…. Very clear. Thank you 😊 I was interested in the way you cast on and held the yarn while knitting… is there a video showing this method please?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Yes! If you check out my knitting basics play list it’s the long tail cast on and continental knit technique

[@melanieopperman6688]

Laurelin thank you so much I've almost finished making your diagonal garter stitch baby blanket which i thoroughly enjoyed. It had holes along the edge. (Which complimented my rookie holes i made here and there by accident). Which was a good place to start I feel ready to try this one with KFB increase. I also appreciate the way you stick to a standard size for your blankets so it is easy to figure out how much yarn we will need, for a bigger blanket I just have to listen to how much yarn you used and x4 + 1 incase.

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Thank you so much 😀🧶

[@kayceegreer4418]

Good! I think two baby blankets would make the front and back to a sweater and then all I've got to do is figure out how to make some sleeves - which I would probably crochet for a lacy effect.... never enough unfinished projects lying about in bags I say! Lol

[@cherylhennessy9897]

Always love your blanket patterns. Thanks so much. I'm knitting a blanket using different shades of blue - navy, light blue, multi blues etc. How should I work out when to change the yarn colours? Thanks Cheryl

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Just change yarn when you are ready to introduce a new colour, and make sure you always change colour at the same edge of the blanket.

[@melanieopperman6688]

I finished my second corner to corner and after a 1 hr break I am starting a 3rd....this one I'll do in stocking stitch- so I think i will increase at the start and end of the plain stitch row so that I don't have to increase on the purl row.

[@maureenfrost2872]

I haven’t knitted for years, was once prolific. I learned to crochet just before Covid which was great as it was amazing being able to improve my skills particularly during that first year. I’ve just seen your blanket which looks gorgeous so I thought I would give it a go. I was very surprised watching your technique, totally different to how I used to knit. I have heard people talk about the continental style which I think is said to be quicker and more efficient. Is that what you are doing? Love the blanket. I remember my son and wife had a shop bought one very similar for their first born and it was very pricey!

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Hello! Yes it’s continental knitting, my mum is from Finland and it’s her that taught me to knit so it was just me picking up the style she knits in. I would definitely agree though that continental style is much much easier for a crocheter to pick up when coming to the craft. (As a side note - I’m the opposite to you, I was a prolific crocheter and decided to learn to knit when my grandmother died as I wanted to knit socks like she did)

[@MaryHayward-m4s]

I've made quite a few cat blankets since I first saw your mitred squares videos. Now I would like to try diagonal squares. Do you have a preferred method of picking up stitches to join the squares please?

[@Cstarsmoon]

[@sahasa8450]

Thank you for this! I'm a crocheter starting to knit. I need mindless projects and this is PERFECT 🤩😍 Sooooo easy 👍

[@rachelar6]

Love this look, thou I think I want the border bigger would I just move the increase? 🤔

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

I have tried to make the border wider but then the decrease corner doesn’t look right, I tried using short rows to fix it but I never got to a stage when I was happy with it.

[@tammimarie1898]

Thank you for sharing this. For the part where you decrease at the beginning of each row, would you still knit two and knit two together for stripes (when knitting with two colours), please? Or will that cause the new colour to bleed into the new row?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

It should work if you are changing colour at the beginning the row then it should work fine 🙂

[@ShazaSalemva]

If i want to replace the kfb with a yarn over increase. What would be the best way to handle the middle part for a rectangle balnket?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

I’m planning on a separate tutorial for this blanket with a yo increase in the near future :)

[@lindadry5128]

PS Interesting that you knit continental style, as I have recently learnt to do. It might be worth mentioning this to a traditional U.K. knitting audience used to the « throw » method. I find the continental knit and the Norwegian purl very relaxing.

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Hi Linda, I actually have quite a broad audience across the world so I haven’t felt the need to mention it - I can following throwing videos easily so assumed the throwers of the world can still follow mine too and knit the project in their own style :-) My mum is from Finland and I was taught to knit by her - hence the continental style 😀

[@shellyaubey7347]

I'm doing a stash buster striped afghan. I've gotten it as wide as I want, but am now completely confused on the middle section. Which end to decrease, which end to increase I.e.

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

You’ll increase at one end and decrease the other, mark the decrease end with a stitch marker to make it easier to tell if you’re struggling 🙂

[@lindacanterbury531]

Does anyone know what I have to increase stitches to for a square baby blanket please?

[@SeoHigham]

Thank you for the tutorial! I have one question: can I K more than 2 before Kfb to make the border looking part thicker?

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

Yes you can do :) You’ll also need to knit one before before your k2tog

[@carolekratzke9500]

Could I knit a shoulder shawl by carrying on till the triangle is big enough then casting off? I love the way the border is done,so neat. Thankyou for that.

Can 2 extra stitches be used in this for slipping the first stitch and purling the last stitch for a nice edging?

You can try if you like :) personally I like the edging just the way it is.

[@mehra131059]

And can u make like wise an adult blanket too. If yes do share the amount of total stitches one should keep

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

You just keep knitting until its the width you want it, I don't count stitches or rows with this project.

[@MichelleGriffin-vd1ol]

Do you have a stockinette version of this blanket? Thanks 😊

[@SnufflebeanYarn]

No I don’t, stockinette would make it more kite / diamond shaped rather than a rectangle or square and I’m not sure people would like that.

is knitting the front and back to create the extra like crocheting?

[@anna-gilbertcrochet6303]

Thank you for this! This might be a stupid question but would it work to make a long scarf like this? Just keep going with the increase/decrease rows until it’s really long? Thanks!

Yes that’s correct! You’d just work the middle section for a really long time until it’s the correct length
