OMG!! Crochet C2C (Box Stitch) But Center RECTANGLE STYLE - Must See!

[@kathryngifford2317]

My son asked me to make some placemats for their new table. I think this will make some real pretty ones! Thanks

[@amysmith3030]

I think placemats with this stitch would be lovely!

[@vigieariyan3158]

Can I use these stitches bed cover

[@wanlov123]

As a placemat, maybe use cotton 🤔 since some of the food on place will be hot. 😊

[@cwarren6487]

This pattern would look great as placemats.

[@kathryngifford2317]

Agree....I know I will mess up and only realize it when the blanket starts deforming 😮

[@mistyblue5312]

“What they said” ! Everyone has said it all. What an awesome, stitch, colour and tutorial! We gardeners love any shade of green. Thanks Crystal. ❤❤❤

[@TheLolaWallace]

WOWZER!!!! 😮 I have NEVER seen C2C like this!! Nice😊 AND The Green Hook With the Green Yarn Was Extremely Satisfying ❤

[@GDMCreations]

Hi Crystal. I'm always amazed at the number of stitches you have in your mind. Your mind must be on autopilot all the time. Love this stich and who doesn't like a one row repeat. Hugs as always. Donna💜💜💜💜💜

Maybe she keeps a book/journal of stitches? It must be a thick one! 🙂

[@nanamona6386]

Crystal, Thank You for these videos. You keep coming out with such great projects, this one is just beautiful. It will take me some time to make this and the shawl. If I have to watch your video 1 million times I’m going to get these done. If it wasn’t for you, I would not be able to crochet, what I like is, I can always go back and rewatch to get it right. You have given me something to look forward to every day and put a smile on my face. God bless you, for all that you do, and your family... ❤️

[@maryannbcrochets8775]

The C2C is on of my favorite stitches and I cannot wait to start this. Thank you, Crystal for another great tutorial.

[@margaretlucero6338]

You're the best crochet artists out there😊

[@KimWilliams-p7t]

You are a mind reader!!! I have tried 3 different patterns with ombre color and frogged them because I didn't like them. Then poof, Crystal saved the day!! Easy to follow and loving it!! Thanks

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Thank you!

[@gardengalsu]

Crystal, it took *YOU* to help me make sense of the C2C stitch. It grew into a love/hate relationship. I loved the stitch 'cause once it made sense, I could whip something up without any prompting, B-U-T I grew to find it terribly annoying. I have trouble sticking with something if it becomes tedious to me & C2C doesn't allow the "oh, it's big enough, so I'll stop here" tactic. So I thought, "Oh, goody! Crystal's gonna teach us something magical!🙄😶😄I think I'll have this video on replay for LOTS more viewing.

[@FarzanaAinsworth]

How many stiches to start the blanket?

[@elizabethvoegtle46]

Aaaannnnd, another BOD tutorial to my saved list. Goodness! I have so many saved. I need to take several years off to do them all. This is not a problem by any stretch. I just need to find more hours in my days.

[@kathryncaleb102]

Beautiful pattern. I've made it a couple of times now for baby blankets. It comes out so beautiful. Thank you for creating it and sharing it with us all. God bless. ❤️

[@effieclark1492]

Hi! Can I ask what yarn did you use for your baby blanket? Baby yarn?

[@sherryhenrichs1759]

[@kikibalser]

I just heard, somewhat, what happened to you. I'm so sorry. I can only say: Miserable people love to spread misery and I am sooooo happy and relieved that you and your family, including your animals, are safe. This brought me to tears...All my love, dear Crystal. I've only been doing crochet for a 6 months and you have been my teacher. I thank you for that. ❤❤❤

[@Pouquiloury]

Want to give my support as well. I don't know exactly what happened, cause I couldn't follow live stream due to work. But saw some disturbing things going by about nastiness done to you by a petty individual. I am so sorry someone was so jealous about your hard earned achievement that they did something so horrendous. I hope you and your familie are going to be allright. Love & best wishes from The Netherlands xxx❤xxx

@@Rmcblackwellmadisoncollege I'm confused. The hook is clearly marked with an "I". Why do you say it's a "J"? Am I missing something? I'm newish to this whole thing. Thank you.

I love this tutorial. First time I attempted C2C project. I love the pattern and rather than make an afghan I realized I could make some lovely placemats. They are so pretty and I hope to make them in several ombré colors. Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial, I’m truly enjoying working on this project.

[@barbarahill904]

I've been avoiding trying this stitch .... As always I've written down the instructions as you went along & I think I'm going to do this .... I'm a little apprehensive about the corners so I'm sure I will be re-watching this tutorial a few more times LOL .... I've been Crocheting for 50 plus years & I have so much trouble with using the back loops also but I'm going to try it again with this stitch. Thank you for sharing.

Ok…. I’m pretty sure I left a comment on here when this video first got uploaded… But OMG!! I finally understand C2C blankets!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Crystal!! You are such an awesome, kind teacher! You give me the confidence that I really can do it!! And I did!! I’m on round 12 already!! 💕❤️🙏🏼 You’ve no idea Crystal, just how thankful I am. I hate to sound dramatic, but I am telling you…. it’s been years of me trying again and again and again to understand C2C blankets. They made no sense to me!! I really tried each time!! So I’m going through all your blanket videos as I’ve got 5,689 projects going for Christmas gifts atm 😂… I wanted something unique… and I remembered your C2C rectangle video!!! I went through my yarn stash and found 5 huge skeins of Caron Jumbo in the variegated Color Peacock…. It’s so beautiful and looks extra pretty with this stitch!! It looks very masculine but at the same time, elegant! I’m making this one for my husband for Christmas! He’s out of town for work until next Friday (it’s Sunday now) so I am going to power through and get as much done as possible the next 5 days!!! Thank you again for giving me the confidence needed! ❤️💕🙏🏼

[@rebeccassmith4640]

You have forever altered my attitude towards C2C patterns. I may never make another standard corner to corner blanket starting from the corner. This is perfect for when you are not sure if you have enough of one certain to make an entire blanket because it gives you the option of adding other colors and making it bigger. Thank you so very much, Crystal! Another "save the day" project to add to my repertoire.

[@judylake8464]

I agree. Row 4 is the hardest and once you get past it the rest is pretty easy. Thank you, Crystal, for doing this tutorial.
