FAQs??
-How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How much yarn do I need?
Unfortunately, I will not be able to answer individuals questions about how much yarn you would used do to multiple factors affecting it. Such as, your tension, the size of hook and the yarn being used.
-What equipment do you use?
Camera: amzn.to/2jkNDl2
Tripod: amzn.to/2w4ReK8

I don’t know if you read your comments or not. I bought a c2c design book- trying to learn c2c. It was confusing me about the turns. Watching your video cleared it up immediately. Thank you for taking the time to put up L. Handed videos along with the right handed ones.

@jolynngamble7413 8 лет назад

I am a lefty and I have tried other tutorial's and yours is the first that I was able to complete. I have successfully completed my first C2C blanket. Thank you so much!

@Starrysong 8 лет назад

I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm a self taught lefty, though I'm not very good. I don't have any left handed friends who crochet near me. I look forward to improving my crochet skills.

Thank you so much for posting a left-handed version of this technique! I don't usually have trouble learning from right-handed versions of crochet but for some reason, I couldn't get this one. So happy to be finally able to accomplish this technique. You demonstrated everything so well. Thank you again!

@dennismorton6833 8 лет назад

Glad I came across your video for lefty's, tried following a right handed one but couldn't get it right, wasn't looking forward to the decreasing part but it was easier than I thought and managed now to get some wool and make something. Thank you Susan.........

@KnitsOnIce 7 лет назад

Sarah Jayne, I'm smitten with your tutorials on crochet and enjoy them beyond words. You have a pleasing voice. Your "accent" (I live in Colorado, USA) is a joy to listen to and I have been learning all sorts of crochet stitches. Your left handed tutorials are well used by me. Thank you. I know you will be very busy after October 2017 and I'm excited for you. I hope you will be able to find time for your internet fans but as a mom of 2 grown up kiddos, I get that you may not have a spare moment. Know that you are very appreciated in the Western Colorado Rockies.

@tresgib 6 лет назад

So happy I found your page. I have been crocheting for a little over three years. Thanks to you tube. I am self taught. It's such a relief to have someone that is left handed, it's hard some time as a lefty to learn new stiches from someone that is right handed. This has helped me a lot. Again Thanks, T.G😊

@anneabbott5415 7 лет назад

Thanks so much for this video. I was scared to try c2c but following your tutorial I'm in a much happier place to try to create a blanket. I'll certainly be looking at more of your left handed tutorials.

Hello from Michigan USA!! Thank you so much for this video!! Normally I do not need to watch left handed videos but I had trouble following a right handed person making a C2C blanket.

You are amazing! I’m 48 and first time crocheter. My family tried to teach me but they were all right handed. It confused me soooo bad.. I’m making. Shawl out of this pattern.. so excited for my first project

@xanadumindbody 4 года назад

I’ve got to figure out how to make a border on the uneven side.. I think I can figure out something. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@bellacococrochet 4 года назад

Thank you i'm so glad I have been of help to you 😀

@bellacococrochet 4 года назад

If you make a double crochet (or US single) in each space between squares and then chain 2 to get to the next space, it will make the sides all look more even and create a nice base for any edging that you would like to use 🙂

@xanadumindbody 4 года назад

I ended up chaining 3 then slip stitched to next box.. it made it straighter for top of shawl.. next is a single crochet blanket!

I took pictures but can’t figure out how to post here. But thank you sooooo much

Thank you for making left handed tutorials. You have explained this so well making it easier to understand. i have always followed your channel for some reason I hadn't seen this particular one. So with that being said. I have spent the last 2 years trying to learn using other left handed tutorials and they just haven't worked. I love this tutorial as well as the magic ring another one that made no sense on other channels. I am extremely grateful for you using terms and explanations that are easy to understand and videos that are crisp and that we can see really well.

Thank you so much for saving my bacon. I’m making a blanket for father’s day and I couldn’t get my head around C2C. I’m a lefty and normally I have no trouble following right hand tutorial but I got so turned around when trying to do this stitch. You helped me so much and you turn your work before you make the next square and that makes so much more sense instead of making the square and then turning as in the other tutorials I watch. Thank you so very much!! 😊

@gobabe2396 3 года назад

Hello. And thank you Ms Bella Coco 🥰 May I ask a question. Before I get thoroughly engrossed in the tutorial. As I am following you to the letter. Mine does not look like yours. Are you crocheting Left Handed or using a software that simply flips your video? This is important. As I have learned fro Other tutorial is appears the same but it’s nit the same. It’s a mirror of a right handed crochet. And is technically different. After my first cluster, and chain the ch tail is located upper right yours is lowers right. Can you please clarify so I can continue. I’ll try to see what I am doing wrong. And come back. I love learning from you. I know how to crochet well. I just don’t know all the different stitches. My focus is amigurumi. I love single crochet although it’s a yarn gobbler. Lol.

@mommy9704 2 года назад

I dont understand how to decrease.. what's the importance of that.. why cant u just c2c without decreasing till u get to the end?

@lottiesschoolfordogs4480 Месяц назад

You can if you want a triangular blanket, but the first half builds up the triangle, when you start to decrease, you're making the triangle go the other way to turn it into a square.

Watching and rewatching I finally got it, THANK YOU!
