I just wanted to let you know that your videos are so wonderful. I am 53 years old and wanted to learn since I was 6 how to crochet. Several people tried to teach me how and I purchased books and could never learn. Thanks to you I crochet all the time now. Thank you so much! 🥰
I love that I always know I can count on Bella Cocoa to have a video that is easy to understand and easy to follow! Definitely my go to channel for crochet help!
Thank you Bella, I have watched lots of (american) tutorials on C2C before and found it very hard to follow, you have made it very easy to understand and follow and make sense!
You have wonderful clear, precise & easy to follow videos.... definitely my fave go-to crochet pattern instructions.... keep up the great work. Thanks heaps Zandra
Thank you for this. I can always rely on your tutorials. I know how to do C 2 C, but wanted something a little different for my next blanket. This is perfect for my love of the Granny Stitch. I'm already on my way with my new project.
Love love loooooooove it looks amazing thank you ....I love to learn from your channel ....always well put together all the colours ......background ....photography ....well done .....you are my big inspiration ❤ Thank you and stay safe and happy xxx
I love this... looks like it works up so quickly.....I kind of like the c2c. Squares ......in addition to the traditional squares.......I do like them both equally as well .. but just nice to do things differently once in a while...makes it fun...ty so much
This one is great what I like about this one you can make the square in different colours and make a lovely blanket this one i am going to save this one love your work Sarah ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I just wanted to say that I enjoyed this video very much. I only learnt the basics of double and treble crochet over the last two months (along with getting a constant tension throughout… ). Now one week ago I have started a double bed size throw (240x240) in Grundl Lollypop yarn based on the stitch. This could take me a little while 🤣 Think I might have to find a small project to start for when I visit/travel, it won’t take long before this project becomes too large to transport!
Just made a rectangle baby blanket for my local hospital maternity ward using this stitch , I put a scalloped edge on it , I used lion brand scarfie in the colour coral/ cream it turned out beautiful it took about 3 hours to make thanks for the tutorial.
You always explain things so well. I have done C2C before but it wasn’t to good, but that was my first time. I do like this pattern a lot because granny Square is my thing (I guess) like I said, I’m a beginner. Thank you so much for showing tips and tricks…😊
Love this stitch took a long time for me to get it but it's my go to stitch for blankets I'm currently making one for a Sheffield United fan in Red ,White & Black stripes 😊
I love this! Ty for teaching me many patterns and this one will be my newest. Can I ask what is your favourite stitch for a new baby? My new grandson is due in January on my own birthday!!! I really want a nice soft baby blanket for him as a gift xx
Sarah jayne, thank you so much for the tutorial, I have wanted to use the c2c stitch but thought it would be so hard, you have made it possible so I can use it, I have some multicoloured cakes I can use 😁😊, thank you
@@bellacococrochet Thank you. I am working on a blacked with left over yarn. I am making C2C squares. How can I joint them together? I mean, which technique would be better? Thank you for your attention.
@@bellacococrochet I have tried this granny square it looks good and interesting to do with two colours. I will add this to my work and show once its completed... Thank you for sharing this wonderful work... 👍 🙂
You can work a double crochet (UK terms) in between one of the squares and then chain 2 to get to the next square, and repeat around the blanket. This will give you a nice base ready to work whichever edging you prefer 😊
Thank you 😊 To make a rectangle, you should follow the pattern for the square until you reach the width you want, and after that you will only increase along one side.
I really enjoy your tutorials. Thanks. I have tried doing this pattern but the edges keep splaying out so it isn’t a square. I have tried 3 different hook sizes. Any suggestions why this might be and how to fix it? I have done 9 rows and it is out of shape already. Thanks
You're welcome, I'm glad you like them 😊 You may just need to block your square once it's finished - you can do this by stretching it and pinning it out into shape.
Hi bella... Thankyou so much for ur wonderful tutorial... Just wanna ask if i make a blanket like a wrap around blanket...is this the same procedure...? Pleaae help
You are welcome 😊 You can use this pattern to make a blanket of any size, just keep on increasing until you reach the size you want and then start to decrease.
You can keep adding rows to this until you reach the size you want 😊 For a rectangle, once you’ve reached the desired width, you can continue increasing on one side only whilst decreasing on the other side.
Another really great video, thank you! I’m really enjoying learning to crochet some varied granny squares. As a complete novice I’ve found that my squares vary a bit in size, I think because my tension is changing as I’m becoming a bit better. Out of curiosity, what do your basic squares measure on average? I’m using Srylecraft DK as per your video where you showed the mood blanket you were making several years ago. Thank you 🙏🏻
You’re welcome! 😊 As you’ve noticed, your tension will change as you become more experienced but it can also change depending on the material of the hook we’re using, the type of yarn and even our mood at the time! (You may crochet more loosely when you are relaxed, for example). I find that a three round granny square made using a 4mm hook and Stylecraft Special DK measures approximately 8cm across, but we all crochet with our own personal tension 😊
@@bellacococrochet thank you, it’s good to know there’s no ‘exactly right’ tension I should be aiming for! Since starting to learn watching your videos I’ve now made at least 40 squares in various colours and using 2 of your patterns- the first few are def larger/looser but I’m thinking I’ll make them into a smaller piece and keep the rest to eventually join up and into a full blanket which will be for my mum at Christmas… I may even make it double sided & use some of the larger squares up that way. Whatever it turns out like I know it won’t be perfect but it will be made with lots of love! Thank you again, not just for your videos which are giving me so much enjoyment but also for replying to my comments and questions. Anna
Blocking helps crochet flatten out and lay flat - it's useful for projects such as granny squares that might curl up. The method depends on the yarn but for acrylic you can pin out into shape and then use an iron to very carefully blast steam at it (being careful not to make actual contact with the iron or the yarn will melt!). For yarns such as cotton and wool you can wet the piece and then pin out into shape while it dries 😊
Glad you said that Bella Coco, my projects a large one. It’s good to know I can use the half my cakes without fear! (Might use a little under so I can be sure in case of a slight discrepancy!
Right now this is the worst for me. Great video and awesome on your part but part way though decreasing the square it starts to curve so I took it out and redid it, it happened again so I pulled it out again and re did it again and again like I don't know, at least 3 times. Where did I go wrong? If anyone has any suggestions or whatever please write a reply
You should find that the sides stay nice and straight with this pattern so I would want to double check that you’re following it correctly. You can find the written instructions over on my blog here: blog.bellacococrochet.com/c2c-granny-square/ 😊 It may be that you’re decreasing too quickly some how which is causing it to curve.
Love your videos but could you use a stronger contrast of coloured yarn to your background as some of us are visually impaired and find it difficult to see what your doing 🤗
Hi Audrey this has previously been bought to my attention and I now make a consious decision to make sure that I pick a background colour that makes it easier to see the yarn :)
When you decrease you are still turning after each row but you are skipping the first three stitches. You can find the written instructions on my blog here which might help: bellacococrochet.com/c2c-granny-square/ 😊
I would make a simple border of double crochets (UK terms) around each square before joining as you would a standard granny square; you can find one of my tutorials showing you how to do so here: th-cam.com/video/NUGb9pIcsXE/w-d-xo.html. 😊
I'm a beginner, but I'm totally lost with this video. I have to have it slow. I cant stay up with it. I guess I'll need to rewind many times and practice.
You have to remember that crochet is practice and patience so don't give up, keep trying and it will get easier. You can pause the video giving you chance to catch up :)
Hi Denise you have to remember that crochet is practice and patience, if you find your getting frustrated put your work down for a few hours or even the next day then try again. Keep going and you will soon get the hang of it. :)
Bella Coco thank you Sarah. I have put it down, but will pick it up again at the weekend as I’m working Wednesday-Friday. Thank you for taking the time to answer, that means at lot x

Sarah jayne, thank you so much for the tutorial, I have wanted to use the c2c stitch but thought it would be so hard, you have made it possible so I can use it, I have some multicoloured cakes I can use 😁😊, thank you
You're very welcome :)
I love this pattern in the fact there are no chain 1! It’s not so happy looking. Thank you!!
You’re welcome 😊
I love the color and the pattern 😘😘😘
They are quick to make I have made 6 in the last month
Thank you :)
How long would these squares take?🤔🤔
Pending how big you want it
Thanks
Ooo I wanna get the little crochet kit sooo bad😢
This would an easy no-brainer for a take-along or while listening to TH-cam videos.
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try this out. I would love to do this in a rectangle too. Do you think you will ever do a video on that?
You are very welcome , I don't have any plans at the moment to do this in a rectangle :)
@@bellacococrochet tc
Hello there, thank you for one more amazing tutorial. Is there a tutorial on how to make a rectangle instead of a square?
You're very welcome, I do have a video on how to crochet a Granny Triangle -th-cam.com/video/T_EHSvcWblQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_i0He4jhIPJSXMsr :)

Hi
Love the stitch. Can you let me know if i can carry on to make a blanket if i don't square it off please?
Yes, you can continue working the increase rows until you reach the size you want and then begin to decrease 😊
Hiya such a great channel. I have literally just got a starter pack for crochet I have followed your account and put alerts on x
Thank you :)
Wow nice and different....👍👍
Thank you :)
@@bellacococrochet I have tried this granny square it looks good and interesting to do with two colours. I will add this to my work and show once its completed... Thank you for sharing this wonderful work... 👍 🙂
Love it !
Thank you :)
I wonder if this would work well for a bit blanket, to use all my odd bits of wool up 🤔🙂
Hi Lainey yes it works so well with lots. of colours I did one big one with all my scraps, looks gorgeous, 🏵🏵
Yes you can I've made cat blankets in this stitch for animal rescues x
How would you add a border to this? Crochet once in each treble and once in each chain 3?
You can work a double crochet (UK terms) in between one of the squares and then chain 2 to get to the next square, and repeat around the blanket. This will give you a nice base ready to work whichever edging you prefer 😊
Thank you so much, I have so many ideas now! Also, I love that hook! Where can I get one like that?
You are very welcome, the hook is from one of the crochet society subscription boxes and cannot be purchased separately :)
I'm going to try this to do a pattern I saw online for a baby blanket. Can you do c2c graphgans with this stitch?
I'm not sure if you would be able to work a graphgan with this pattern as it is quite a bit more 'holey' than a traditional c2c 😊
Hello Sarah, I love your titurials. Could you please tell me if I can make this stich for a rectangle?
Thank you 😊 To make a rectangle, you should follow the pattern for the square until you reach the width you want, and after that you will only increase along one side.
@@bellacococrochet thank you! it was easy too 😘
I like the directions as shown, but I would really like a written pattern. It is fun to learn new stitches.
The written instructions can be found on my blog at bellacococrochet.com :)

Hi . I really like to learn crochet alot. So could you tell me how to make a dress for a doll?
Hi bella... Thankyou so much for ur wonderful tutorial... Just wanna ask if i make a blanket like a wrap around blanket...is this the same procedure...? Pleaae help
You are welcome 😊 You can use this pattern to make a blanket of any size, just keep on increasing until you reach the size you want and then start to decrease.
Can this be turned into a baby blanket? Make it larger than just a square, possibly a rectangle?
You can keep adding rows to this until you reach the size you want 😊 For a rectangle, once you’ve reached the desired width, you can continue increasing on one side only whilst decreasing on the other side.

hi Sarah Jane I'm crocheting tomorrow night
Have you done one of these
Do you ch 1 after each 3 double crochet cluster?
There's no need to ch1 after each cluster 😊 Full written instructions are available on my blog here: bellacococrochet.com/c2c-granny-square/
what does blocking the square do? And how do you do it?
Blocking helps crochet flatten out and lay flat - it's useful for projects such as granny squares that might curl up. The method depends on the yarn but for acrylic you can pin out into shape and then use an iron to very carefully blast steam at it (being careful not to make actual contact with the iron or the yarn will melt!). For yarns such as cotton and wool you can wet the piece and then pin out into shape while it dries 😊
Does the granny C2C use more yarn on the decrease? I'm working on a blanket and don't want to run out of yarn!
You should find you use the same amount of yarn for the decrease half of the blanket as you do for the first half 😊
Glad you said that Bella Coco, my projects a large one. It’s good to know I can use the half my cakes without fear! (Might use a little under so I can be sure in case of a slight discrepancy!
Please make a vedio of 3d granny squares 🙏🙏

How do I take off the lefthanded notification
Sorry I don't understand what you mean?
I don't understand the decrease, in which row exactly you don't turn
When you decrease you are still turning after each row but you are skipping the first three stitches. You can find the written instructions on my blog here which might help: bellacococrochet.com/c2c-granny-square/ 😊
