Ladies, you already know this, obviously, but what a game changer!!! I was working simultaneously on 4 blankets, about 1/2 way through with each, and I just frogged them all back to the first color changes. I'm not even upset....THIS technique makes such a huge difference. THANK YOU for sharing!
Your video has given me the courage to start my grandson's R2D2 graphghan ...Thank You, Thank You! I must have watched this video half dozen times while making my practice piece and I think I finally have all the scenarios down. I am happy and determined to finish R2D2 by Christmas. Your instructions were more clear for me than any of the many other videos out there. You are a great instructor.
Update: I started a horse C2C blanket and incoporated your technique....WHAT A DIFFERENCE. This has completely changed the look of my projects. So much cleaner! Thank you for sharing your secret!
I did my first c2c graphghan in 2019, and I found your website then, looking for a better way to do color changes, because I did not like how they looked. I am so glad I found your method. My husband also made me two bobbin stands based on the one one on your website. One I can use in front of my recliner, and one that is tabletop. I made several graphghans in 2020, but haven't made one since. I am about to make another, and looked for you on UA-cam to refresh my memory on your method. It is the best!! Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm about to do a C2C from a graph & the yarn changing colours were so obvious & it was doing my head in. I'll be watching this video several times when I attempt the chart 😁
This tutorial was excellent. I came for color changing tips but learned so much more. I specifically wanted to know where to keep my yarn end, if it should stay in the front or the the back and you answered it and then some. I've been watching color changing tips all day and I got the most from this half hour than I did in ones that were an hour long. Thanks so much for your help!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video to explain how to properly cover up all the color changes! This is the best video I’ve seen to explain it! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Totally changed the appearance of my project!! Wish I had seen this with the other C2C blankets I've done. After a few rows, it was easy to do and looked absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Wow what a great tutorial, wish I had seen it before doing my graphgan, but I am too far ahead to frog but for sure will do it your way next, can’t wait, thank you very much
Thank you for teaching in such a clear and easy way. My color change is horrable. I did not want c2c further ...but my son (3) wants a graphgan... with your help! He will have one. So again...THANKS A LOT!!!
Fantastic video! Working on my first C2C. You explains the technique perfect! This makes working on a C2C not frustrating and more enjoyable. Thank you! 👏👏👏
I found this very informative. So now I’m going to put your technique into practice. I hope not picking up the new colour in the slip st will give me a much neater look. Thank you. 🌺
Awesome video!! thanks so much for such great info and tricks of the trade, just starting to try out c2c and your explanation was so clear and answered q's i didnt even know i had
Thank you so much! Have always wanted to do this but hesitated due to the color changes. Now I'm off to find a pattern and get started. 🙂 Thanks again for your your video. 🙂
This is fantastic. I only wish I had found this before starting my Pikachu blanket! I've already hit the second decrease so it's a little late to incorporate it now but will be incorporating it into all future projects! Thank you so, so much for sharing!!!!!
Thank you for making this video & sharing your work. You explained everything great I think. I'm gonna try this with your colors just to see if I can do this. I've never tried a C2C before, I hope mine turn out at least close to as good as yours look.
Thank you for making this video, I just finished my first C2C graph blanket and now I wish I could redo it this way (but I won't because it took me two months to finish). I'm glad that I learned this before I did another graph.
This just beautiful! I’m new to C2C. And I started a football 🏈 blanket for a friend.I’m in row 52 increases. And the red and white stripes don’t look good. I’m going to start over again. And do it like you do. Thank you so much 😊
I just watched this and just wanted to say this is the best tutorial I have seen for doing C2C colour changes. I would like to know if it’s possible to carry the main colour all through the pattern without having to get a new bobbin.?
When I first started C2C I loved the idea but couldn't stand how messy it looked. I just kept on keeping on til I figured something out! Your comment warms my heart! Thank you!
Love your video. Watched it lots of times and still get something new out of it! However still would like some advice on joining, say black over pink, so that it covers properly and doesn't require an excessive amount of sewing over to get a smooth line. Is it to do with the way you pull the yarn in ..whether over or under the hook?
I’m still very new to c2c I was suggested this tutorial from a fb group and dang is definitely a game changer have to work on my tension but learned so much. Only question does it matter if I do yarn under or yarn over? I’m faster with yarn under that’s why I’m asking
First I wanna say thank you so much for sharing. I have a C2C in progress and I'm putting letters in the corner. I am having problems with getting the letters to sit the direction as if we're working a C2C. Mine however are sitting nice and squared up with the shape of the blanket.
I really like the way you do the color changes when there is a definite front to the item. However, for anything that can be reversible, like the heart in your tutorial, it leaves one side looking a bit messy. I do like how you do the carrying of yarn, and may see if I can use this technique in my work. Thank you.
It is so funny that you asked that! I just finished a panel for an upcoming blanket and carried the background color the entire way through. Since you asked I will put it at the top of my list. Hopefully by next weekend.
That would be great thank you so much I'm looking forward to seeing the video. I'm working on my very first C2C graph project using two colors its a heart table runner for my Sister.
Would you consider doing a crochet along graphgan? I really want to do one c2c but I really need a tutorial on c2c. I have watched videos but for some reason I'm still confused. I mean like from beginning of the blanket to the end. Showing everything. I probably seem needy lol.
Hi.. Thanks for the video... where did you get your bobbins(clothespins)? Can't find any that size so far. I'm just beginning to do graphghans... Thanks again
At the Dollar Tree Store. They come in a pack of 6 for $1. Here is a link: www.dollartree.com/Essentials-Jumbo-Plastic-Clothespins-6-ct-Packs/p336245/index.pro
Im left handed too and tried this technique. To get this flawless look you just have to follow her method for the back on your front and her method for the front on your back. Works perfect for me. Hope I could help 😊
I was so impressed with this video! The outcome is truly different! I love the the c2c with hdc! I subscribe! Do you have a video on doing the hdc c2c Tina was right on when she suggested your video! I seem a little overwhelmed, but I will work on it! What was the name of the program you use to mark off your blocks? Ricki
Ricki, thank you so much for the kind words! We do have a video on how to do Mini C2C and on how to use the YouDoodle app, just scroll through our videos and you should find them. Also, please join our Facebook group, 3amgracedesigns Crochet Community.
Hello thanks for the video it's awesome ! I'm just curious some people do the 3 chains and then the 3 dc is there a reason u do 2 ch to 3 dc?? I'm barely learning and trying to figure it out 😢 help please TIA
I need help! It is not coming out they way I need too. I’m doing stripes of 4 blocks in red then 4 blocks of white, 4 red and then white, but my white should be on my right side of work. I just got done with my stripes and it on my left side of work. So I started over again. My first white block is on the back side, then 2 blocks on the front. But still works up like I’m on the back side. No matter what I do. It always works up like a back side. Hope some one, can explain what I could do. I already spent so much time and yarn on this project.
I am curious if the same process is followed for lefties since your up is my down and your right is my left, I have to also wonder if my back is your front? When your going left, I am going right. ;) Thanks!
Hi there! Donna, here. I am also a leftie. As long as you pull in from the front of your panel, it doesn't matter if you're going left, right, up, down etc. As for determining the "front" of the panel, I consider the front side the one that matches the direction of the chart I'm using. If my chart has a flower on the bottom right corner -- then when the crochet in my hands shows the flower on the bottom right also -- that is the front or "right" side. Once you determine the right side, you can always place a stitch marker on it so it's easier to keep track. I still do that sometimes as well.
I am new to c2c and thing c2c color change. I am going to ask a stupid question how can you tell the difference between right and wrong side. Thanks. Vicki
Vicki Anderson I consider the front side the one that matches the direction of the chart I’m using. If my chart has a flower on the bottom right corner - then when the crochet in my hands shows the flower on the bottom right also - that is the front or “right” side. Once you determine the right side, you can always place a stitch marker on it so it’s easier to keep track. I do that sometimes as well.
Hi! I have been crocheting and trying to figure out an answer to your question. Pulling my yarn to the back is just the way I have always done it. I find that leaving my working yarn in the front still leaves little ticks of the wrong color showing. And leaving my tails in the front just makes me question which is the front of my work and which is the back. I wish I had a better answer. - Thanks, Michaelene
Hi love your video could you show the backside of your project as when I do mind the front and back look the same. I couldn't see what your back looked like
Start working the white until you get to a row with a different color, at that point pick what you want to be your front and what you want to be your back.
Btw, this video did it for me! Thanks to you, my OCD is much happier with my C2C, definitely a game changer.
Ladies, you already know this, obviously, but what a game changer!!! I was working simultaneously on 4 blankets, about 1/2 way through with each, and I just frogged them all back to the first color changes. I'm not even upset....THIS technique makes such a huge difference. THANK YOU for sharing!
WOW!!! Thanks so very much for this excellent tutorial! This should be titled a "MUST" for C2C!
Thank you for showing how to fix this annoying problem lol. I also want to say how happy I am to see someone crochet exactly how I do!!
Your video has given me the courage to start my grandson's R2D2 graphghan ...Thank You, Thank You!

Great illustration!!!!!❤
Thus has made it so much easier for me to learn color changes in the c2c tha k you for taking the time to show me how to make easy color changes .
Thank You so much! I was having so much trouble and you answered all my questions and fixed all my problems! Wonderful!

You are welcome!!
Just starting to Explore graphs in c2c and so far this is the cleanest way as far as I can see.
Thank you. I have watched this over and over as I’m new to crochet and I’m making my first C2C blanket. It looked awful until I watched your tutorial.
Ty so much just finished my first one and what a difference you are unique.
This just beautiful! I’m new to C2C. And I started a football 🏈 blanket for a friend.I’m in row 52 increases. And the red and white stripes don’t look good. I’m going to start over again. And do it like you do. Thank you so much 😊
Hi is it only when you join a new color that you bring it in from the front not if your doing the same color like on the front side of your work
I went to try this how to change color love your video thank u
Excellent video. I’m getting it now- Thank YOU
I just watched this and just wanted to say this is the best tutorial I have seen for doing C2C colour changes. I would like to know if it’s possible to carry the main colour all through the pattern without having to get a new bobbin.?
Thank you for making this video...I have abandoned projects because they looked messy...I am going to revisit now, thanks to you 🌺🌻💐🌸🌷

I like your video. Can you make another video on how to do single crochet color changes in graphgans.
Beautiful color changes.. I’m going to use this method, thank you...
I really like the way you do the color changes when there is a definite front to the item. However, for anything that can be reversible, like the heart in your tutorial, it leaves one side looking a bit messy. I do like how you do the carrying of yarn, and may see if I can use this technique in my work. Thank you.
Thank you so so much for making this video . Do you have a video on how you carry your yarn for c2c?
It is so funny that you asked that! I just finished a panel for an upcoming blanket and carried the background color the entire way through. Since you asked I will put it at the top of my list. Hopefully by next weekend.
That would be great thank you so much I'm looking forward to seeing the video. I'm working on my very first C2C graph project using two colors its a heart table runner for my Sister.
Great ways of changing colour! Can I ask why you don't carry the yarn with the SS and only under the HDC? Thanks.
Love the video!! Did you ever had a chance to show video on how you specifically use You Doodle?
Thank you, instructions were helpful. :) you must be a knitter, noticed you call your crochet hook a needle :D
O que bonito color lana ovillos 😊😘😍mi amiga corazón 💓😘
Thank you so much!! This works so well!! 😍
I like your video,is there a way you can do one that is a little bit slower or do one that is a written tutorial with pictures.
I have a blanket that is about half done. Could I use this technique from now to the end or will it not look right?
Thank you! This is life changing!!!
Would you consider doing a crochet along graphgan? I really want to do one c2c but I really need a tutorial on c2c. I have watched videos but for some reason I'm still confused. I mean like from beginning of the blanket to the end. Showing everything. I probably seem needy lol.
This is a great video thank you for the tutorial. :)
I am new to C2C.. how do you tell which is the front from the back?
Hi... which software program are you using to mark your rows as you complete them...
I cannot find the program you are using to mark off as you go. Please help
Do you have a video for carrying the yarn in c2c to have less bobbins and ends to weave in?
Do you have a tutorial on maintaining in c2c?
I'm struggling to remember which side of the work you pull through the front and which you pull through the back.
excellent thank you so much now I might tackle the paw patrol blanket
Great tutorial
Can you crochet the tails in with first pixel thanks Vicki Andetson
Hi.. Thanks for the video... where did you get your bobbins(clothespins)? Can't find any that size so far. I'm just beginning to do graphghans... Thanks again

So just to make sure...you are keeping your tails and working yarn to the back at all times right?
Jennifer Walling Yes ❤️
I know you did this awhile back, but I'm fairly new to c2c, and I'm left handed. Do you do any work like this in a left hand version?
Im left handed too and tried this technique. To get this flawless look you just have to follow her method for the back on your front and her method for the front on your back. Works perfect for me. Hope I could help 😊
Thank you!

Hello thanks for the video it's awesome ! I'm just curious some people do the 3 chains and then the 3 dc is there a reason u do 2 ch to 3 dc?? I'm barely learning and trying to figure it out 😢 help please TIA
The 3 Chs and 3 DC are considered Regular C2C, while the 2 Chs and 3 HDCs are considered Mini C2C. We do our projects in Mini C2C.
@@3amgracedesigns ooooohhh thanks so much !!!

What does the back look like after the ends are weaved in with carrying the yarn? Would it work for a dual sided look?
As long as you're weaving ends in the portion of the blanket that matches the same color yarn, you will get a dual-sided look.
I am curious if the same process is followed for lefties since your up is my down and your right is my left, I have to also wonder if my back is your front? When your going left, I am going right. ;) Thanks!
Hi there! Donna, here. I am also a leftie.

Which program do you use to form the graphics?
I’m just curious is the a reason you drop the yarn to the back no matter what side u work on?

Hi love your video could you show the backside of your project as when I do mind the front and back look the same. I couldn't see what your back looked like
Hi Heather. I will get a picture when I get home. We are traveling for the holidays.
Front side of work question: do you just pick a side or is there a way to tell from pattern?
Start working the white until you get to a row with a different color, at that point pick what you want to be your front and what you want to be your back.
Thank you!
I’m new to this
Why hdc and not dc?
HDC is used in Mini C2C, DC is used in Regular C2C. You can use which ever stitch/method you like best :)
do you have one for sc
can you do one for sc

Great tutorial
