I like to say I have a super power, it is my eternal struggle to make things simple. I took your corner to corner rotating brick and converted it back to "row by row". If you would be so kind, what I need now, is a peer review. I am not sure I have the skills to document a pattern, so if i left something out and commited the sin of omission, ask questions and challenge me. Let us begin. I simply took your word that odd clusters would not work and stuck to your original example of 4 clusters. chain 6 to start the first cluster, in the fourth chan from the hook do 3 double crochets, one in each chain. at this point you can go to the left chain 3 and do 3 double crochets down the side of the cluster. I chose to extend the base chain by repearing the first cluster, chain 6, and back filling with 3 double crochets starting in the fourth chain from the hook and one in each of the other two chains. chain 3, turn and slip stitch anchor into the opposite corner of that cluster. chain 3 and turn. on the side of the previous cluster, 3 double crochets. extend the base chain for the last time on this row and back fill with three double crochets. chain 3 and slip stitch anchor in the opposite corner. you have just completed row 1. now you extend the base chain up, not out. chain 6, three double crochets starting in the fourth chain from the hook and one in each of the remaining 2. chain 3 and slip stitch anchor in the next slip stitch. chain 3 and back fill with 3 double crochets. chain 3 and slip stitch anchor it next to the chain 3 for that cluster. chain 3 and back fill down the side of the previous cluster with 3 double crochets. chain 3 and turn, then back fill down the side of the previous cluster with 3 double crochets. slip stitch anchor in the next slip stitch. chain 3 and slip stitch anchor in the end of the row. chain 3 and turn, back fill with 3 double crochets in that chain 3. chain 3 and turn, slip stitch anchor in the end of the row. you have just completed row 2. repeat row 2 twice and you have 4 rows. break off your yarn and weave in your tails. join your new color yarn and repeat the same way you did in part 2, except you go "row by row" instead of corner to corner. since my last cluster was horizontal, i simply extended the base chain and made the next cluster vertical.
You’re the nicest spider l have ever meet. Being from 🇦🇺 l use U.K. terms but after watching your videos l remember the US terms. This makes it so much easier to do C2C blankets by going my squares. Thank you so much. 😊
Thank you so much, Fiber Spider, for this C2C JAYG tutorial series! Your instructions are so thorough. I crochet left handed, and your tutorials made the most sense to me. Of course I work in the opposite direction, but the other tutorials I watched and read were so confusing, I think even righties might have trouble with them. Thanks for keeping it simple and being thorough.
Used up stash yarn. What a blessing and one of a kind blanket. I will probably not have this color combination again. What a gift it made. Thank you for this gift of complete tutorials. 💚🕷💚🕷💚🕷💚🕷💚
What impresses me most about this 4-part tutorial is that you pay attention to the direction of the stitches. Everything is facing the same direction in all the blocks and squares so that the final product all looks like it was worked in one piece.Your attention to detail is what I need from tutorials and I thank you.
Did my first corner! You made it so easy! I had bought a pattern which was too confusing and squares looked like diamonds. Your method worked better for me. I will refer back to your videos until I have it memorized. Thanks so much! ❤ you really should write this up as a pattern if you have not already.
I Love Love Love you fiber Spider. I had lost my mojo for crocheting and was depressed about it. I don"t do repetition very well so I rarely finished a project. This join as you go is sooooo much fun to crochet and I am back in the groove. No more depression for me, no sir !!!! Thank-you so much for taking the time to teach us. You have a great talent. And by the way, I love your voice.
Hello Fibre Spider, from South Africa. I am really impressed with your join as you go tutorial. I thought it was simple enough to start off with as a beginner. I eventual got it right. Now I am even more curious to see more. I have never crouched before. Thank u for the inspiring tutorials.
This is a really wonderful project. Right now I'm doing a triangle shawl using this method - and it goes so smoothly and fast, I can't believe how easy it is. And all that thanks to your tutorial :) Big thank you!
I'm going to make my niece a blanket for her birthday..I didn't want to granny squares..because I didnt want a blanket with holes..so I said to myself..I'll make. C2C squares.. And low and behold leave it to you to have a tutorial on it !!. Thanks so much F.S...I'll show you when its finished ..
I absolutely love your tutorials Fiber Spider ❤️ this is one of my favorite patterns. You make it so easy to follow along. Keep up the amazing work and thankyou.
Thank you Fiber Spider, for another great educational tutorial. Out of all the crochet instructors I watch, I truly think you are the best! You take the time to go the extra mile & your work is superb! Hugs, M.
Fiber Spider you are an absolute joy to watch. You are clear and very instructional. I’m just getting into c2c and this would make a great rug pattern using lily sugar and cream yarn. Thank you, I feel I’m an intermediate crocheted but this a new experience that I’ve learned. Thank you. Much love to you
i am new in crocheting and thank you for this tutorial, and im loving it. i know this will be perfect for the baby blanket that im doing for my cousins coming baby. thanks again, love it ❤❤❤
I had such a hard time getting my head around the C2C to start with. I learned to slip stitch back to the Ch3 space to decrease. I absolutely LOVE how you Ch3 to get back to decrease!! It makes it so uniform on the edges. You make it so easy to learn new ways when you have been crocheting a long time. Thank you Spider! By the way, I love your music in the intro. Makes you want to do the Charleston!! Lifts you right up!
Jenny in the UK - Great tutorial, thank you so much for introducing this technique to me. I have been knitting 10 stitch blocks and log cabin but hadn't realised there was the same thing for crochet. Silly me! I love it! No more straight corner to corner for me from now on. Thanks, you're wonderful.
This is such a great tutorial. I really like the Pro Tip of joining on the slip stiches instead of the space - the picot-type effect is just gorgeous. Thank you for all that you do for us fellow hookers. lol
I have been looking for a pattern to make my husband a blanket with and I know this will be perfect for him. Thank you for this tutorial and getting it out so quickly. Wishing you much love, many blessings and happy crocheting.
Thank you for your truely lovely and soooo easy to follow instructions... first time trying the gingham pattern... thank you again...will be following your videos...have a great day....hugs
New subscriber here. Thanks so much for this great four part tutorial! Much appreciated! Using leftover yarns to make a patchwork C2C JAYGO afghan. 🧶🧶🧶
Judi speaking, I just finished 2 rows of my new throw based on your video directions and am completely satisfied. I am a self taught crocheter and found your video easy to follow. I will finish this and go on to make other items you have designed. Keep up the great work!!!
You are absolutely amazing. Been trying for 3 weeks to learn crochet off other videos but none were clear and confused me more. You explain things so well and your voice is so soothing. I am half finished with my new patch work blanket. Thank you for the knowledge.I almost gave up!!💚
i love C2C. i had made a throw, with a border, for my neighbor. i enjoyed making it but i'm loving this C2C patchwork.. i've already begun another throw but this one is for me. thank you for teaching us how to join as we go. C2C is my favorite!! Take care :D
Great tutorial! I've been looking for something like this. I thought the C to C could be made into a patchwork, but wasn't smart enough to figure it out. Thank you!!
im making this with scaps each square is a different color so glad i found this. i love making scrapghans. and my family loves when i make them. your awesome
I've watched all four parts of this beautiful C2C project, absolutely in love with it! Details of Slip Stitches are so clean and perfect, I definitely have to try this pattern. Are you showing us a border too? I will appreciate as I watched lots of them here on YT but none of them satisfied me! 👍👏 Tks for sharing!
Just picked up my C2C after a year plus. Scratched my head trying to erase the blank space of where I needed to start. Ahhhh, part 4, adding a square that’s connected on 2 sides. That’s the where, now for the how. PULL. UP. THE. VIDEO. Good thing I saved all of them. Eight minutes of review and I was off to the races. I have watched other videos of this method and Spider’s is the best. One thought I would share for joining on 2 sides is you never do a chain 6 because it is “built” into the chain 3s when connecting the working square to the sides of the finished squares. At first I kept trying to chain 6 and then connect - didn’t work. Also, when you do it correctly all the connecting slip stitches will be going in the same direction. Fun project, enjoy.
I am making this blanket at the present time, and wanted to say, that our local kindergarten is happy to take wool ends (i.e. from sewing in all the tails). Apparently they use all these bits of wool when making pictures and such - so no wastage!!
This looks terrific, and I can see how it will help me use up lots of leftover yarn (but same weight, of course). I’d like to know if you put a border on your c2c projects, and if so, can you do a video showing that? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for showing me how to do this Stitch cuz I started a corner to corner but forgot how to decrease to go back up words to n my corner to corner.
I was having so much trouble with this it was confusing me Came across your video and I did it ! Thank you ! Did you put a boarder on your blanket? What boarder do you suggest
Thank you so much for this series. I can’t believe how patient you are, showing every stitch up close. Your videos are excellent!!
I love your gentle easy way of explaining patterns, I am enjoying this tutorial very much, ps for those of us watching in the UK, dc are our tc

Merci infiniment pour ce tutoriel très clair et précis. J'ai enfin tout compris à la technique C2C. 🙏🙏
Just laughed at the 'now we're cooking with gas' line. It's from one of my fave TV shows - Line of Duty
You can crochet pretty darn good whatever you make! Just hope the afghan I'm making for my bed cones out good
Judi speaking, I just finished 2 rows of my new throw based on your video directions and am completely satisfied. I am a self taught crocheter and found your video easy to follow. I will finish this and go on to make other items you have designed. Keep up the great work!!!
What a great tutorial! it was exactly what I was looking for. I was scared to try the C2C, but you simplified it marvelously. Thank you so much!
