I’m so glad you show us all the ways to start the different shapes. I’m a beginner and can follow directions. But I’m just not at the point yet to where I can figure out how whip up something in triangle, square, or rectangle on my own. I’m so glad you are patient in showing us all these different ways. You are such a blessing. ❤️
Thank you for the rectangular version of the waffle stitch. This will be perfect for solid colors as well. This is why I love your channel; you sir are AWESOME!!! I have been wanting to do a rectangular version of the waffle stitch and here it is!!! Thank you again!!! I can't wait to get started on this!!! Thanks again!!!
Thank you for your fabulous tutorial! I learnt to crochet squares from my Granny. It is all I knew about crochet - now at 63 I am doing squares again in lovely patterns - all because of your excellent, absolutely wonderful teaching style. Patient, informative with clear concise instructions. I have followed along with this great project and after a few re-starts, I have got it! Thank you so much. 😊
Thank you so much.🥰 My aunt ordered a square baby blanket, but had me choose the stitch. I am loving this. It is easy to sit back and watch a show and just keep going.
Thanks for the excellent video! As a general rule, your starting ch is the difference in the side measurements. So a 3 inch middle would produce a 45x48 piece. A 5 inch middle would mae a 45x50 inch piece. A 9 inch middle would produce a 45x54 piece. Not an exact science, but pretty close - I've used this rule to make rugs for my bathroom.
I've searched but could see no waffle stitch used in rugs. On the other hand, this is a wonderful stitch when I think it on a rug. Are you happy with your bathroom rugs? Aren't they stretchy or do you think they don't easily become deformed?
@@olguntoman5923 For my rugs I use three or four strands held together and they don't stretch out. All depends on stitch. I would never use the waffle as a rug, as I be afraid toes could get caught in the post stitches and cause a fall
Thank you! I'm making this blanket for my in-law and she provided the yarn and it is NOT frog friendly! I'm just starting and it was already looking right long so I was scouring the comment section for just this information! Thank you so much!!
Congratulations on being part of the "Crochet Crowd " saw you are 1 of the invited, hopefully will get more people to see your work, lovely pattern by the way
I just love you! I have been attempting a waffle stitch blanket for my Mom for a couple of weeks. Finally thought I had a good gauge Swatch but when I actually started the blanket, I was out yarn before I even got 5" in. So glad I found this video. I think it will be easier for me to see the yarn usage though I think I'm still going to have to buy more yarn for this blanket. Making a blanket in Minnesota Vikings colors for my Mom's 75th birthday in July.
So glad I saw this! I was about to start on the square version and I am definitely gonna buy more yarn and make a king size for the bed. Thanks so much!
So exciting that this is a rectangle pattern. I’m planning on making a king size also. Please let me know what yarn and how much you use. Maybe we can help each other. 😊
Thank you! Can't wait to make my son a toasty-wosty blanket using this method! lol I am a more experienced crochet or so I really liked that you didn't feel the need to breakdown how to execute a double crochet step by step. Easy to follow! Thanks again!
I love the pattern! I used the front only no turn method as I did not want my color gradient to be 'choppy' when turning. It is turning out BEAUTIFUL. Thanks for all your tutorials. I have been crocheting and knitting for 60+ years and it is nice to know we can always learn something new!
Honestly I love how you broke down the chain! Because some people might understand the first way and some people might understand the second way! I love your videos!
I just like to say thanks so much for your videos. I have learned so much from you; and you make it so easy to follow and fun to listen to you. Thank you so much and please, continue been so much fun. I am in Australia but it feels like I am with you in the same room. Big hug to you 🥰
i love both square and rectangular waffle stitch and can't wait to see what my great nieces and great nephew will say when they received it for christmas gift next year since they all live in Maine more colder than Connecticut
Omgosh thank you so much for coming up with this rectangle waffle stitch blanket pattern. I've been looking for one like this for what seems like forever. I made my original chain longer to 33 for a more elongated rectangle and it's turning out perfect. So thank you again.
I have a real problem with this particular piece. I follow your instructions precisely and I get to the corner. I say to myself, I will just do this corner ( to see what it looks like) and then I am on the short side. I might as well do this side, and then I am in the corner again....cannot stop on the corner, so I continue. I have gone this far, so might as well finish the round. There is no clear instruction of where to stop. Where do I go eat, do housework, tend to the garden and have a life? All joking aside, your instructions are wonderful. You are very precise, explain in detail, showing what you are doing and telling why. So many people forget one or more of these steps. Thank you for your youtube tutorials. You are a fabulous teacher!
WOWWWW!!!! Wish there were more hours in a day so I can make all the crocheted projects I love!!! Thanks for sharing this great tutorial!! Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year 2020
Thank you for this amazing pattern!!! I decided to try a little longer chain to see if my count still worked!!! It did!!!! You sir are AWESOME!!! Thanks again!!!
Oh my word! I fell in love with your square this morning, but thought, “Hmm, I love this, but would love it even more if it was rectangular.” Now, here you are, my favourite eight-legged friend, with my dream project. Thank you, thank you, lovely man! X
I am making this right now and it is beautiful! I’m using Caron big cakes, cookie crumble and I extended the center to make it more of a rectangle. It is gorgeous!!!!
Every video you make I love ❤️ always so amazing and perfect. Wish I could put pics on here of the things I’ve made from your tutorials. Presently make the waffle shawl and I’m in love!!! Thank you for such wonderful videos.
Starting this now and loving it! Thank you for another fab tutorial. I'm so glad you commented about the color change issue if the work was flipped vs. worked in the round. I don't struggle with BPDC, so I'm working in the round so the color changes in my Cupcake yarn flows the way I want it to.
Oo this one sounds very interesting spider and what a gorgeous colour the yarn is I will give this a go in the new year thank you for something different , stash busting sounds great for me 😊Amanda xx💕
I LOVE this! Can you also show how to do it in the round without turning? I know you said doing the back post is a pain but I like doing it and think it would be easier for me if you could show that!
All you have to do to do it the way you are asking about is instead of turning and doing the 2 front post doubles in a row is do 2 back post doubles since a front post stitch done on the wrong side of the work is the same as doing a back post stitch on the right side of your work.
This was great! I love the waffle stitch, but I like rectangular rather than square. You have SO many videos, very appreciated. Do you have one with waffle-stitch squares that you put together like a granny square join as you go blanket? I would love to learn how.
I love how this is working up. I'm making my in-law a blanket for her birthday and I'm wondering if there's a particular border you've found to finish this beauty off?
Ahhhh!! I literally used your video for the square one a couple days ago thinking "I will have to add rows to the top and bottom to make it rectangular." AND THEN THIS COMES OUT!! Does this mean I have to frog my little blanket?! Great job, I love it!
That was a clever way of doing waffle stitch and you are such a good teacher! Thanks.
I love working blankets from the inside out so I can just crochet until I run out of yarn. This rectangle is so unique and I'm excited to start it!
Thank you for this! It’s become my go to for baby blankets the last few years. They love the squishy texture.
I’m so glad you show us all the ways to start the different shapes. I’m a beginner and can follow directions. But I’m just not at the point yet to where I can figure out how whip up something in triangle, square, or rectangle on my own. I’m so glad you are patient in showing us all these different ways. You are such a blessing. ❤️
What size does your blanket measure using four cakes?
Hi thank you for sharing your time and your guiding hand to show how you make your woollen items , hats and blankets. Andy S
Your fpdc with turning work is fabulous solution to the dreaded BPDC! Thank you. Love the rectangle start.

Thank you for your tutorials . No matter which stitch I want to learn your tutorials are the best, easy to follow and I always accomplish the project
Very good tutorial, and an added bonus that you crochet loosely so it’s easier to see what you’re doing!
I appreciate each of your tutorials. You are great at teaching & showing each step needed. Thank you for your dedication to helping others.
Thank you so much.🥰 My aunt ordered a square baby blanket, but had me choose the stitch. I am loving this. It is easy to sit back and watch a show and just keep going.
Tricky, indeed!!! Took 7 tries to get to the 5th row and have everything right. Love the waffle stitch, thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for the excellent video!

So so Pretty. Love the color of the yarn.
Thanks for your help. From Aloma in Kent in UK.
I love this blanket! You are awesome teacher!
Very many thanks. Great tuition
I love this pattern already it’s easy to work with

Right I was hoping someone had a video on it
Can't wait to try this it is beautiful thank you again.
Thanks Fiber Spider. You are my favorite! Happy New Year.
I'm glad I'm not the only one
Back post crochet usually take up more of my time because it's sort of hard/tricky
Gorgeous! I love it.
I Can't wait to try this pattern. And just as soon as I'm done with a 3D stitch blanket for my son in law I'll be all over this!
I am halfway down with the square. This will be next on my list!
Love this pattern.
I need to try this
Love watching you work, and your voice is so soothing! Happy New Year!
Love this! Making one using Pound of Love. It's so squishy! It's going to be really cozy!
This is beautiful ,LOVE how it looks.
I'm on my second Big Cake and this is coming out so lovely! Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you I love it
Thank you for the awesome tutorial😊
You make a great teacher
I LOVE this! Can you also show how to do it in the round without turning? I know you said doing the back post is a pain but I like doing it and think it would be easier for me if you could show that!
Yes without turning would be way better especially for Mandela cakes!! Please show us
I've been joining with a single crochet. That way you can start in the corner without having to slip stitch to the next space... Hope this makes sense
All you have to do to do it the way you are asking about is instead of turning and doing the 2 front post doubles in a row is do 2 back post doubles since a front post stitch done on the wrong side of the work is the same as doing a back post stitch on the right side of your work.
Starting my first one for a friend & luckily I have plenty of yarn to make more. Who knows maybe with the left over yarn I can make me a scrappy one😅
This was great! I love the waffle stitch, but I like rectangular rather than square. You have SO many videos, very appreciated. Do you have one with waffle-stitch squares that you put together like a granny square join as you go blanket? I would love to learn how.
Very nice pattern .💕
Thank you! I love this! 🥰🥰
Omgosh those colors! 💜
Thank you! Thank! Thank you!
Love it love it love it ty for wonderful tutorial :)
Hermoso! Apenas se me pase la tendinitis, lo probaré.
Great pattern
Love this! Thank you for sharing this!!! 💖
Absolutely gorgeous!!! ❤
I Will try it👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love how this is working up. I'm making my in-law a blanket for her birthday and I'm wondering if there's a particular border you've found to finish this beauty off?
Thank you ❤❤❤
Ahhhh!! I literally used your video for the square one a couple days ago thinking "I will have to add rows to the top and bottom to make it rectangular." AND THEN THIS COMES OUT!! Does this mean I have to frog my little blanket?! Great job, I love it!
No; unless you want to.
This may have to be my future project. :)
Thanks for this lovely pattern
What's the size n amount of yarn needed to make this blanket
