How to Decrease your C2C Afghan

[@eloinaroldan9406]

Thank you my dear for demonstrating that because I did not know what a C2C is. Your demonstrations are clear and your camera angle is excellent. Thank you again for your talent. God bless you.

[@Stitchinstacy]

TY>>:) you are absolutely welcome:)

[@sherristeuber6790]

Wow, thank you so much for covering so much more clearly and showing the decrease for the C2C. Now I can finish mine. Thank you again I was near tears.

[@jaypewilder]

Beginner crocheter here, and came to your video for my project! Love the colors and understand now how to decrease my C2C! 💪🏽

[@misstrouble2269]

This has been my first attempt at a c2c and with your video I was able to start the decrease process with no trouble. Thanks for the video and I will be watching more of your videos to help me along the way.

[@Stitchinstacy]

THats wonderful...you are very welcome:)

[@iammeganmk]

Thankyou for your instruction on decreasing C2C I’ve watched several and kinda confused but you have made it much clearer to me how I will eventually finish and also helping me to determine it’s size by the number of blocks across :)

[@bmahoney2442]

Thank you! This is my 1st C2C attempt and I couldn’t find a clear video on decreasing an afghan! Thank you Thank you!!

[@ellenstotlemeyer9847]

After watching both your video's for the C2C IM happy to say after 30 years I have finally learned how to do this stitch.

[@bittyboo52]

once again, your video is easy to see, explained in a clear and concise voice, so that even I can understand how to do this. Easy, now that I understood! Thank you so much!

[@Stitchinstacy]

+bittyboo52 TY :))..Im happy so many are getting the understanding of this :)) and that i am able to help!

[@cathharr08]

I started my first C2C blanket but am now stuck on the decrease rows. Your video makes this look very easy. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial.

[@traciaustinmurdaugh2507]

Hello stacy, i have just came across your video's for C2c and really enjoyed how you teach.. this was the first stitch i actually learned by myself!. very easy to follow.

[@deeburgin8882]

Thanks for your help, great instruction! I am from Iowa, hope you are liking that area. I love the people there.

[@shannenburton122380]

Just gotta say I love your colors for your blanket and the little frog on your hand. I am a huge frog lover.

[@hollyh2242]

Thank you so very much for your tutorials. I am making my first corner to corner afghan!! You're instructions are so clear and easy to follow. I am visually impaired and have to look close to the screen so I am grateful that you take the time to zoom in, I really appreciate it!

[@Stitchinstacy]

Wonderful..im glad you are happy with what you see here..and glad i can accommodate you:))..good luck on your afghan!!!

[@NancyConner]

Hooray for Stacy. Everything is explained so well. I feel like you're right here explaining it just for me. And I think that those colors go together really well also.

[@Stitchinstacy]

lol,,,tysm..i love the colors... im glad i went with my gut on them:))

[@sandrawolfe6462]

I only started crochet three weeks ago and I'm hooked!! I have made a lap Afghan using one large granny square and have just watched this video and the one on starting the c2c crochet. Thank you so much for your easy to follow videos thanks to you I am now crocheting after many failed attempts over the years. Keep up the good work.

[@Stitchinstacy]

absolutely wonderful:))))) you keep up the good work!!!

[@sibelrodriguez8770]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I knew I was decreasing my blanket the wrong way but could not figure out why. Your tutoring helped.

[@mkandkat]

That was so helpful! I learned how to C2C after finding a pattern I really loved online, but when it got to the decrease I had no idea what to do, and this was so clear and helpful that I am now finishing it up! Thank you so much!

[@LinYouToo]

yay! i just did my first practice swatch and made about 7 rows then decreased all the way back down to one. I'm so excited to make a real project now! Thanks for the easy to follow tutorials on C2C and how to decrease C2C.

[@dawnbozykowski1306]

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm working on my very first C2C and this was very helpful. Very clear and easy to understand.

[@kolettepatricelli1536]

Thanks so much for this video,i was not sure how I was going to end this purple monster blanket! Now my daughter will finally get and it will be one of many projects done!😁

[@angelalynes8503]

Doing my first c2c and your tutorial is by far the best. Thank you for explaining it so well. I have been highly recommending your tutorials to everyone, best wishes from Scotland x

[@Ursin101]

I know this comment has nothing to do with the tutorial, but I love how nice manicure of your nails are you teach. :)

[@Stitchinstacy]

[@christinesavinelli7806]

Thanks for your nice tutorial done here. Not new to crochet, but started c2c crochet baby afghans last summer after seeing them on My Hobby is crochet FB page. Just needed a you tube video to refresh my mind on how to do the decreasing part this evening.

[@cherylann145]

Thank you for your clear and informative videos! I was so intimidated to even try this but you've made it so clear. I appreciate it. I'm 42 and became disabled 2yrs ago and taught myself to crochet. I'm not great but I think I'm pretty good. Thanks again! !!

[@jphifer522]

Thank you so much! Your work and description is clear and easy to understand for a beginner like me.

[@jenngal77]

Thank you so much for both c2c videos! I couldn't get it started correctly with just the instructions. You made it EASY. I also can decrease once it's big enough. Thank you :)

[@lupialazarin5492]

Happy New Year Blessings to you & I just want to say (Stacy you're the Best)!Thank you for making & sharing this video! I always come back to it when I make this blanket. You help me to understand it better!

[@cherylfranks2090]

Thanks for the tutorial, I was looking for something that was a little different but easy to do

[@caraweeks6367]

Yes ma'am. I just did not find where you said that. Thank you bunches. Have a blessed night.

[@Stitchinstacy]

NP..you have a great night as well:))))

[@alishacoffey9802]

I love the colors wow so pretty

[@lindazapata3121]

Hi Stacy, I enjoyed your tutorial and it is very helpful for me so I can finish my baby blanket. I hope you are enjoying Iowa, that is where I am and grew up here. I'm not sure you can share which part you live in or if you'd want to so feel free to message me if you'd like. Thanks again and God bless. PS You have to weed out the mean ones like you'd weed out your garden...pluck em out and toss em.

[@djruble]

This tutorial has helped me so much. For some reason when I change colors while decreasing I mess it up and need to go back and look at the video. It helps me to figure out what I am doing. I did have trouble when I started the decrease. I wanted to have 4 rows in a plain color on the increase and four rows of the same color on the decrease and somehow ended with an extra row on the decrease side. What did I do incorrectly? I've also decided to make myself a shawl by only doing half of the c2c in a very thin but pretty yarn. I will add a boarder to it and use it for church. Any suggestions for the edging? Thanks so much for the video and teaching about a wonderful afghan. The first two I'm working on are going to the next two children in our family that we are waiting on to be born. Thanks, DJ

[@mimismith7994]

Thank you so much.. love your so easy to watch and understand how to decrease corner to corner.. Your the BEST

[@Stitchinstacy]

:))ty bunches and you are most welcome!!!

[@todaysthoughtbubbles]

These colors are absolutely gorgeous. Can you list the colors? You crochet so beautifully. I've subscribed to your channel, you did a great job teaching this pattern. Thank you!

[@jomama5186]

I love that yarn ! So cool !

[@janethubbell780]

Stacy, Your color choices' are so very pretty I love them. Also I have a written pattern, for how to finish off the corner stitch. That I just couldn't follow. Thank you for making this video. I think seeing you doing the steps makes it so much easier to work . I do have one question? This pattern benign new to me, how to determine the size for a lap pads, or full size blankets?

[@Stitchinstacy]

YOu are very welcome Miss Janet..and really this is no one way to determine that ...other than you keep making blocks and once you have enough blocks..that is the size....doubled it will be...when i do my lapghans..i usually have about 50-60 blocks before starting the decrease..if you want to do a full size..i recommend at least 120 or so more...i have never done a full size..so i cant really say.

[@barbarascales4329]

Thankyou your tutorials are so easy to follow

[@tktseller]

Thank you. I’m almost 1/2 finished with my first c to c baby Afghan.

[@emehay11]

Used to live in Sperry, Iowa! Very beautiful flat farmland!

[@judyjenkinsbmc2]

Your manicure is awesome! Judy, CA

[@CHICHISWEETS]

I luv your color choice! Thanks for the tutorial, I enjoy watching demos on actual projects. I'm working on a c2c lapghan & one of my yarn colors is deleted. I hope I have enough to finish the lapghan. This thing is a "yarn eater" too! It's a great way to use up some stash.

[@louannmoore5275]

Love the colors and love afghan too i am going to make one

[@franniwiseman7567]

Thank you for your lovely video, has helped me alot. I was wondering what yarn you are using, eg wool acrylic etc and size of needle.. I am using acrylic with size 8 needle and my crochet is firmer. I like the looser look of the blanket. Cheers

[@webfanstitcher]

Thank you for your response. I will look for your earlier videos.

[@hazelmckenzie9348]

Thank you so much for showing this. I can now finish.

[@Stitchinstacy]

Hazel McKenzie You are very welcome...glad i could help!:)

[@hollyhood176]

How big was this blanket you made? I am at 42 blocks and I want to make sure it's a good size because we are over 6 feet tall! Love your tutorial by the way! Very helpful and easy to understand. I can't wait to start decreasing!!

[@janclark3810]

Hi, the afghan is beautiful! What kind of yarn are you using? It has a luster that is lovely.

[@freddysmith69]

Beautiful work....could I please ask, what was the finished size on this afghan & how many balls of yarn did you use, also what size are the balls of yarn...I'm in Australia & ours are sometimes different....thank you so much.

[@jonna203]

Thank you watched many and didn't kno how to end my project thanks again

[@lisachamlee6638]

thank you so much this was very easy to follow

[@ellencanoy-wise7646]

[@rayvn03]

I'm a Seahawks fan, so those colors are great to me:)

[@evawilson1308]

I love ❤️ the color's that u put together. I'm almost done with my C2C Afghan, getting ready to start the decreasing. All of my yarn was bought from the Salvation Army and Goodwill thrift stores. I would like to send u a picture of my C2C Afghan, but I don't know where to send it too. I can't put it here because I am on my phone don't have a computer or laptop.

[@debbiebryant3839]

Very pretty! Thank you for the tutorial! Stay warm!

[@Stitchinstacy]

TY Miss Debbie...you are very welcome and will do:)

[@Marissawv19784]

hi I am doing a red white and blue ctc and I am making a king size blanket and for it it needs to be 100 by 100 size all these other videos skips and forwards their directions... you we're the first one and I think I'm doing this one right my question is this... since mine is a 100 by 100 size my bed is a queen and some of it is hanging over the bed is that supposed to for a king size?

[@dowrightindustries699]

Stacy thank you so much for this video it was really helpful. I am a newbie at crochet & seem to be having an issue with the C2C pattern-when I do the 3 DC into the space of the chains it is coming out with the 2nd & 3rd DC longer than the 1st. I can't figure out why this is happening other than maybe my 3 chains are too large & are pulling it out of shape. The overall pattern looks good but it's not really a square block anymore. I tried just DC into the 3 chains & now it looks more square. Any help would be greatly appreciated !

[@webfanstitcher]

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am working on the Race Car Throw pattern on the Red Heart website, which uses this pattern. Do you have a video that shows you working your ends in as you crochet? If not, could you do a short video explaining that. I have been crocheting for a long time, but always appreciate looking to see how others do things. Thank you.

[@Stitchinstacy]

Hi..wow sounds great on the Race Car Throw:)...well i dont have just a video on that no...but during many of my videos i have shown that especially alot of earlier/beginning ones i did as i started my youtube..so i could say yes to that..:)

[@caraweeks6367]

Hi, I love this stitch. How many rolls of yarn did you use to make your s and what size hook did you use? I can't find you first video of when you started. Thanks

[@Stitchinstacy]

I always tell the size hook i use...5.5..and i dont remember how many rolls i used..it was a lapghan and i didnt keep up with the rolls to be honest...if you are looking for anything having to do with my C2c videos...everything is in its own playlist..so they should be easy to find

[@donna57]

Miss your tutorials

[@marycasasnovas5710]

Yes! Thank you for making This so simple!!👍🏼❤️

[@teastress]

Are you doing a REGULAR afghan or a baby blanket? If 46 blocks is for a REGULAR blanket what is it for a baby blanket?

[@maura4167]

helped me soo much i love your voice and your frog! thank you so much for the help!

[@andreamuse2002]

Hi...I appreciate you helping us get this stitch down. I'm at the point where both ends ate blocked/decreased but can't figure out what to do when I get back to the blocked ends. It's not looking right! S.O.S. 😃

[@patriciabates8779]

Thank you for such a great video - its definitely a good one, quick, easy, and very concise. I had a question about decreasing...if you're decreasing on both sides won't that make it more of a square as opposed to a rectangle?

[@Stitchinstacy]

Absolutely...that is what i was making was a square:)

[@dfogle49]

Great tutorial! It's there a way to make a c2c Afghan longer than it is wide?

[@susaningle7094]

Hi Stacy. You are so good at your tutorials. I have a question about the decrease. I'm wondering if I'm doing the decrease correctly. On the end when u change colors, are u supposed to see the color change on the end where u change? I hope u understand what I'm asking.

[@Stitchinstacy]

if you are color changing on your decrease...you need to wait and do your color change after you have done the slip stitches..that way you you dont see it..is that what you mean?

[@susaningle7094]

Not sure if I'm asking correctly. When u change colors on decrease, ur doing the slip stitches, on the side should the new color be seen?

[@Stitchinstacy]

Hey..im not sure how to answer that or if im understanding..would u add me on my FB and maybe i can help more there..my FB page is Stacy Moran:)

[@sarahwimberly2346]

Well. I'm back with another question..Started decreasing. When you get back to your first decrease, do you connect to that first decrease.?? 85 yrs. old and need more instructions. 🤗

[@joanneblair5208]

I have fallen in love with making c2c afghans the 1st one I made, I used 2 colors starting with 6 rows of color 1, then 6 rows of color 2, then color one until I decided to decrease When I came to the end, I didn't have 2 rows of color 2 and 6 rows of color 1. I thougt, ok, Jo Anne, you screwed up. The 2nd one I am working on i am doing in 6 row each of 2 colors. Now that I am about to finish my afghan, I am running into the same problem. I am not ending up with my rows being the same length on the decrease as they are on the increase. What am I doing wrong?

[@reneejohnson4361]

Hello, I'm having the same issues right now with my corner 2 corner blanket using 3 different colors and 7 rows of each color. Did you happen to find a solution to your question? As I decrease my rows on each end of the blanket I'm working on at the moment, I noticed that my sides are not even with each other. I ripped down a few rows thinking I made a mistake, re-crocheted the rows again but still not even.

[@claudiasmith2335]

Love all of your video's great job i even follow you on facebook I'm so happy you for you all on the big move

[@Stitchinstacy]

Claudia Smith Awesome Miss Claudia:)..and tysm..it was a hard move but now a little after a year we are finally getting use to things..just looking now for a home to buy and finally have a new home of our own:)))...ty so much for support my channel and work...glad you enjoy my work as well!

[@blackkatte316]

Are you still in Iowa? Welcome! I live just north of Des Moines.

[@peggylee292]

Thank you. This was easy to understand

[@evawilson1308]

How many Skains of yarn to make that Afghan u was doing? Thank u very much. I'm working on 1 now, but I don't have full skains I got my yarn from the Salvation army and Goodwill store.

[@tabithasarver4691]

On the increase, each row grows by one block. On the decrease, is the same true? Just watching this, without having done it yet (I'm still on the increase), it seems each row decreases by two blocks. Can you please advise?

[@mrsgraham53]

Thank you for this tutorial I was able to complete a lap afghan for my moms wheel chair I'm not sure how to uploaded a pic of it

[@jennifergarrett65]

Thank you for the clear instruction! Very helpful! :)

[@reneejohnson4361]

Hi Stacy, could you help me and another lady with an issue regarding the decreasing when using 3 changes of colors. I am so lost! I left a comment below because I saw that another Crocheter was having similar problem. Should both corners of the blanket match with the same number of blocks? Any help is Appreciated, Thank you!

[@elizabethcaron3042]

how often do you decrease,for a lg .afgan 1 per row ??? So that size will be the same on both sides??

[@APBT2022]

I just think your lil frog is so cute...
