Thank you for this video and sharing a new technique! I am one that is not a fan of a c2c, so much that I havent done a c2c in 15+ years. Lol... But your new technique makes me want to make one now. ☺
I am almost finished a traditional c2c blanket, but now I'm seriously thinking about pulling it all apart and doing it this way! I love how much denser this version is. Great video!
So lovely Colleen!! I still can't stop crocheting those stormy waters hats :). As soon as I finish one someone in the family hints that they want one. Thanks for the C2C as I am thinking of making a scarf . Thanks for another wonderful tutorial!
Very pretty! Interesting how much it changes the look by just doing clusters instead of DCs. This would especially "liven up" a solid color, just giving it a bit of texture. Thank you.
So glad that crocheters like Yu find new techniques, live how this corner to corner is not as gaping as some I have seen, all c2c,s are pretty, but I truly love yur technique, especially for a blanket. Great job, Yu are talented, thank Yu.🎉🏆😊
Colleen---I just finished a c to c holding three strands of yarn together for a thicker throw. It measures 62x80 without a border. I added a border that added 5" to the height and width making it 67"x85". I did 4 rows camo,then 2 rows flame orange until I finished it. It was striped. Three rows of the border I did in camouflage and the last row of the border in flame orange that hunters wear. I wished that I had seen your video on the new c to c technique sooner .
Working my 1st C2C--love the pattern but hit a snag 1/2 way thru. Was very disappointed but now not so much I'm going to restart the project using this technique. Thank you for posting.
Hi Colleen, I used assistive technology to access the computer. I have watched several TH-cam C2C tutorials. All of these tutorials demonstrated increasing, decreasing and changing colors. I have never found a video on how to fasten off a color and work in ends. I can do this, but I would like to learn different techniques for ending colors in C2C.
Hi Sister! Please forgive me, I just wanted to touch base with you again, I haven't gotten a chance to work up the small graphgan I was going to as a tester for this, we have been a bit buried in snow detail here in Michigan. I will be playing with this tomorrow and will be back in touch at some point then. Hope you have a lovely evening! Thank you!
How would you put a border on the new c to c technique? We need a video on putting a border or borders on this new c to c technique. I like the less holes or gaps.
Hi Sister Margaret Mary! I think it would, I am planning on making a small graphgan in the next couple of days, if it works, I will post a video, if not, I will update by responding to you again here. Thank you for your question! Have a blessed day! ❤
Hi Colleen, Thank you so much for your reply! I have always wanted to make a C2C graphgan, but I chickened out for two reasons: 1. I did not like the gaps due to the ch 3. and 2. The bobbin issue seems scary. I say this, because I am legally blind. My dear friend Margaret Olander (Sheepishly Sharing) found a solution on Pinterest. Here is the video link for you. You may like it! I will send the link in another comment.
Hello Sister! Please forgive my delay in getting back with you. You would think with all of the snow and ice days the kids are getting that all I could do is sit and crochet! Unfortunately, with work and the kids being home, I have had less time to do what I need to do. I did work up a small heart piece, based on a pattern by Yolanda with the All Crafts Channel with my c2c method. It works great, it is nice and tight and it is a bit smaller, but much less gappy. I am hoping to be able to take some time to get a video uploaded soon to show people the difference. That may be a bit as I need to do edits, it can sometimes take a week just to get that all in place. Your friend Margaret Olander had a nice video on setting up for this! I haven't had experience with a larger graphgan really, but someday, I will give it a go. If you would like to try Yolanda's small heart crochet graphgan to get you started and see how well you like or dislike even, here is a link, it is a 2 part, but it turns out pretty cute and is a great kick off to the world of graphgans... and Valentines Day! th-cam.com/video/7SlMNl4kUcw/w-d-xo.html Have a wonderful day Sister! ♥
Ok so I'm GOING to finish the video bc I REALLY want to know how you did this, but that's the thing... I actually REALLY want to know how you did this. And that's all. Im 2 minutes in and you have repeated the fact that you want to eliminate the gaps more than 4 times. Why? We don't come here to hear you talk. We just want to know the technique. You're not the only one so don't take it personal but come on! Get to it and talk less. There's nothing wrong with narrating or explaining but I'm not kidding you just repeated yourself more than 4 times. We don't need you to repeat ANYTHING. We can rewind if we didn't catch what you said. It's borderline obnoxious how much some people repeat themselves almost as if they just like to hear themselves talk... I know I'm not alone on this. And again, nothing personal. We just want you to get to it. What is now an almost half hour video prob could have been done in about 10 minutes give or take a few. Sorry if i hurt your feelings. Just giving honest feedback as one of your viewers. ✌🏼
I’m loving this on the new blanket I’m doing! It’s amazing how different it is thanks for sharing!
I love this pattern. It is so beautiful, I love the no gap.
I like this and will have to try it. I achieved a tighter look to my c2c by using half double crochets and the chain 5\2 combo.
This is interesting. I'm giving it a try on a scarf which I need to work up quickly. Thank you - Paula

Im so glad to hear! Thank you for your comment Ali! 😊❤
This is the one I started with you and will finish maybe next week. I like the fuller look. Thank you !
I love this better than the other c2c, Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Grace! I'm glad to hear you like it! ♥
I am almost finished a traditional c2c blanket, but now I'm seriously thinking about pulling it all apart and doing it this way! I love how much denser this version is. Great video!
So lovely Colleen!! I still can't stop crocheting those stormy waters hats :). As soon as I finish one someone in the family hints that they want one. Thanks for the C2C as I am thinking of making a scarf . Thanks for another wonderful tutorial!
I'm so glad you like that hat! I'm right there with you.. working on another as we speak! Thank you for your sweet comments ♥
Very pretty! Interesting how much it changes the look by just doing clusters instead of DCs. This would especially "liven up" a solid color, just giving it a bit of texture. Thank you.
Thank you Jolene! Yes, it's a subtle difference but does end up coming together nicely 😊 Have a great day!
I like this better. Definitely trying on my next C2C scarf. Thank you!
I hope you enjoy! Thank you! ♥

Thank you for your kind words Pamela! 🥰
I always did the 5/2 method with hdc's but am going to try this with the clusters. Thank you
Really lovely variation. I make a lot of C2C blankets and wish I had seen this sooner!
Thank you so much Anne! ♥

Next time Joey! But until then, I'll bet it is super warm ❤👍
Hola , muy bien explicado, me encantó y la voy hacer muchísimas gracias, bendiciones
You are too kind ♥ Thank you so much!
Do you have a video on decreasing?
Working my 1st C2C--love the pattern but hit a snag 1/2 way thru. Was very disappointed but now not so much I'm going to restart the project using this technique. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for giving it a go Birdy! I love the tighter look myself, both are pretty, this one is best for less gap =)

Have you ever done this on a JAYG and if so do you have a Utube video for it
I'm so sorry Colleen, I haven't 😔
@@chaysiecrochet will you think about doing one please
This is amazing thank you for sharing :) is it possible to make this stitch horizontally as opposed to vertically? Thank you
That is a good question... I'll have to think on that one 🙃 Thank you Jasmine!
I’m new to crochet! I’m started a blanket for a friend that loves football 🏈 But does someone can tell me what is the front or back side, to use?
I Love This Technic better!! Will this work on a graph c2c?
I have not worked a graph with it but I would assume it would work just as well =) Thanks so much Carmen! ♥
How would you put a border on the new c to c technique? We need a video on putting a border or borders on this new c to c technique. I like the less holes or gaps.
Let me see what I can do! Thanks for your feedback Joey! =)
Oh, I like this better! Thanks for the video. I will be trying this soon, probably a scarf first. Is it a yarn eater?
Hi Helen! Not anymore than a regular c2c... maybe a pinch less 😘
@@chaysiecrochet Thanks Colleen. Anxious to try it your way.
@@helenamnott3527 thank you for giving it a try! Would love to know what you think after you get a chance to try it ❤
Will graphgan patterns work with this technique?

Hi Colleen,
I am familiar with Yolanda's videos.
It almost looks like an angled waffle stitch.. I really like it alot.
I agree! Thank you Mary Beth! ♥
👍👍👍👍👍
I like this better.
Thank you! 😊
