      Patricia Kinney, how did you figure out the center? or how many clusters? I would like to make a full size blanket but I am not understanding how to do the center .thanks for any help.

    I love how you tell everybody about different dimensions on all crocheting and how you can make something bigger or smaller or that it's your choice. Yes somehow you explain things a lot better than some people. I am So thankful that I found you online too crochet because I am a beginner. Actually I started crocheting after fifteen years ago and stopped and picked it back up. Without this online, it would be very hard because I am much older and sometimes don't understand the books and directions. Thank you again for all your hard work and your funniness. Online makes it much easier to follow you.

    Here's what I did to make this how I wanted it. I chained in multiples of 2+ 4. Then I did the first set of DCs in the 4th chain from the hook, skipped one chain and did the next set of DCs in the next with no chains in between. For the corners, I only chained 1 between the sets of DCs. A lot less spaces between the sets of DCs for a tighter pattern. But thanks to this video I was able to figure out how to do that so thank you. You are a great teacher.

    Have never attempted making a rectangle before and your tutorial was just perfect in the way you explained everything. Thank you, might be tempted into trying this but first I'm actually going to do your virus blankets as gifts for my parents. They've just totally redecorated and re carpeted their living room and need some softer decorative touches adding and I LOVED the way your blanket turned out x x x

  • @jennyfoley8310
    @jennyfoley8310 6 років тому

    I took up crocheting again after 30 years, and I have to say that you are the BEST teacher! I've already made 2 virus blankets and now I'm starting a third. A virus meets granny. I only wish I could share my pics. They turned out beautiful. I used as self striping yarn because I wasn't too confident on how to change yarn. None the less, it's gorgeous! Thanks Fiber Spider for the lessons! I look forward to the next!

    Thank you for this video! I've been looking for a rectangle granny square pattern and just didn't think of youtube! Now I won't have to make 2 squares and sew them together any more! I love it!! Granny stitch is so relaxing for me when I just want to de-stress!

    I started watching your tutorials last spring (2021) after learning basic stitches during the pandemic winter, and love your tutorials. I tried this one Memorial Day weekend and just didn't get it. So I saved it, went on to other tutorials and projects, and now, having come back to this tutorial at the end of September, I have to smile and say, "Easy peasy!!!" Thanks so much - this is perfect for making winter blankets for my three cats!

    Hi Craig, I'm so glad you did this rectangle❗I have a really nice book of , "99 granny square patterns" and I wanted to try the rectangle for a blanket. Well, I couldn't make any sense out of it and actually...I made a " reck & a tangle " out of it. But Thank Heavens ! You popped right up on my screen with exactly what I needed❤🎶 Now I can get started on my Granny Blanket‼️💫💞Yea❗🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🍀🍀🍀🎊🎊🎊🧨
    Thanks Craig❗

    I have been watching your videos for two years now (I think 😁) and you have taught me so much. The day I found you I was looking for a specific stitch on UA-cam. I found the stitch and on the same day I discovered the wonderful world of crochet on UA-cam. I have made several of your shawls, scarves and blankets. Right now I am making the Rectangular Granny. In fact I will be making 3 or 4 of them and in marching to my own bongos I am sewing in my yarn ends as I go so only one end to sew in at the finish!! Thank you for all the beautiful patterns and help some of which I didn't even know I needed!! I'm looking forward to many more projects.

    So I know you posted this video awhile ago, but I was thinking of using my Herrschners Christmas Pastry Puff cakes in a rectangle granny throw and I knew your video would answer all my questions! You allow me to think outside the box while supplying the basic foundation concept clearly! And I can be as creative as I like with your instruction! Thank you for your willingness to share your amazing talent and happy holidays!

    @NickUncommon Рік тому

    Thanks for this tutorial, I was not getting a nice looking start to a rectangular granny blanket and had almost given up the idea because it looked just wonky, however I tried it. Your way is symmetrical and also solves the colour changing tactics, so my grannies will please my symmetry loving parts inside :) in the future.
    Our fibre craft group collects squares to make lap blankets for a nursing home at the moment, so this will be incorporated into this project.
    I will ask for the end dimensions of the planned blankets, so I can make an example stashbuster, and see, what they think.

    Thank you Craig for another helpful tutorial :) This will be my first rectangle granny...I do love a good granny! I make a lot of market bags and there's a little tip that I learned which I'm using with your tutorial. I personally dislike slip stitching across at the end, it creates a lumpy section that doesn't feel very nice. To avoid that, instead of chaining 2 or 3 at the end before you join, simply do a double crochet and join. this way you are placed right in the very centre of the gap just before the corner and just ch3 and do your cluster, then just continue on as needed. No lumpy bumpies ;)

    Dear Fiber, I have never crocheted the granny blanket before now, and I’m not using the stash buster. Instead I’m using the Red Heart Ombré in the purple color way. Do you recommend using variegated yarn with this as well, perhaps after a determined number of rows? It’s beginning to sound good to me! Thanks for all your wonderful work. I loved this and ALL the other videos of yours I have watched. I am quite addicted to fiber arts in all their gorgeous forms, and for right now crochet is my fave! My Grandma Ada made a huge pineapple-lace tablecloth we used at my wedding reception over 50 years ago. I remember watching her twirl the thread magically, it seemed, into shapes of fruit caught in a web, not unlike the spider’s.

    I found a variegated Red Heart yarn called Grape Fizz at Joanns to go with the Violet Ombré, also have another striped RH yarn in my stash called Parrot Stripe that will go. Today I managed to get a good start and love listening to music, Podcasts and Audiobooks while stitching. I don’t dare add a visual aspect to this as I’d be drawn away from the work too much. I still can’t crochet at all by “feel.”
