    It very well could be the tighgtness of my work, but I found that the FPDC no matter how much I tried to keep them loose always tended to give me a more pronounced "dip" than what you're getting. I was constantly finding myself frogging back and working again. Until I made one minor change: I swapped the FPDC for a FPTC (Front Post Treble Crochet) and it made a world of difference to my work.
    Figured if anyone else was having similar problems like I was, I'd pass along my "tip".
    Thanks for all you do, Spider! You're a star!

      I like the switch to treble, I have switched to it in several projects. Did you try.pulling up that yarn over like he does to lengthen the stitch? 😊

    Just had to thank you once again for this great pattern and tutorial. I have arthritis and can't handle anything heavy. So many blankets I wanted to make but couldn't due to the weight. This was my first blanket, I finished it last night, and my cat (who also suffers from arthritis) prefers the Corded Shells Rectangle Blanket to her heated cat pad! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

    Thank You including the brand name and color way of the yarn you are using. I love it! Thank You for explaining how to change the length of the blanket if we choose too. You explain it very well. Many teachers don’t even include that information in their tutorials. Also Thank You for crocheting a symmetrical start in the center. Symmetry is one of my idiosyncrasies. Your tutorials are well thought out, informative and go beyond to make sure the viewer is successful!

    This pattern is AMAZING and each round works up so fast! I improvised on a border that beautifully compliments the blanket I made, and it's been named "The Commemorative Betty White Blanket". I was on round 25 when we learned of her passing and it only made sense to honor Betty's incredible life. I used Red Heart Roll With It Melange in the color way Theatre.
    Thank you so much for sharing your phenomenal talent with us❤️

    I did a row of single crochet into the chains after doing the second chain five circle, which brought me back to the first chain five circle. I slip stitched to connect to that first chain five loop in order to secure the last single crochet to that ring before I did the chain three that started my 12 DCs.
    This gives you a much more stable starting row, and removes the flimsy connection caused when you DC and cluster into the single strand left by the chain stitch because I single crocheted into the back loop only leaving two strands on the bottom and creating two strands to connect to at the top…it looks SOO much better!
    Thank you for suggesting we experiment if we want to in order to find a starting method that works better for us.

    I was looking for something as mind-numbing as my favorite granny square, something that I didn't really have to pay close attention to for the most part while watching t.v. Lo and behold the Corded Shells Rectangle Blanket appears in my notifications! I was definitely intimidated at first by its looks, and then you started teaching it! By R5 I had it down to a science (a testament to your teaching skills!). I decided to go with the RHSS Jumbo Stripes in the Favorite Stripe colorway (because I wanted something bright and in your face colorful, lol) and an I/5.5mm hook. I have 3 skeins of this yarn...I can see a HUGE brightly colored blanket on the horizon! Also, the quick changes of the colors doesn't take away from the fpdc effect either, looking at my small bit done, they actually stand out, weird how that worked out, lol. Thank you for this pattern and the time you took to show it to us. I already have this, and the square one saved to my crocheting videos!!

    I love all your projects @fiberspider. Finally I started this rectangle blanket which I so wanted. I could never count which is why crochet is intimidating for me. With a chain of 36 (multiples of 6) & two loops of 5 chains each on either end. I have come to the other end of the foundation chain. Instead of two chains remaining as you have, I have three chains remaining. I am so totally flustered why simple math doesn't work for me! Please tell me. 🙃
