Thank you so much! Your explanation is clear and easy to follow. I had bought a pattern but didn’t realise it was a C2C figure, and I was lost on how to begin. 😅
I came to You Tube AGAIN, with massive chip on my shoulder, wondering why I cannot "get" this C2C. Somehow, the powers that be, plopped me down to your video. Reluctantly, I started watching. There was nothing that anyone hadn't said or showed me before, so I was ready to just give up C2C. I am 73hundred years old, been crocheting since I was 6, no internet back then, just Grandma and neighbors. Learning crochet or knitting wasn't pleasant, more a right of passage. You have HELPED ME!!! I cannot believe it! I have no idea what it is/was, perhaps your "grandmotherly" voice, your hands, I don't know! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Glad I could help! I also have a regular c2c tutorial that is not a graphgan that you might like as well. Here is a link: ua-cam.com/video/6AUPQ4-wfyk/v-deo.html
Thank you so much!!! I've given up so many times on this pattern because I know now I was doing it completely wrong and no wonder I could never have an image . Best tutorial for c2c! Thank you so much
Thanks so much for sharing so glad you did this tutorial I have wanted to learn how to do this for so long . I have a lot of Christmas gifts to work on but plenty of time to do them. LOL
Wonderful, clear instructions! I have made several c2c items but have never done a graph. I always wondered how one would keep the different colours organized so as not to create yarn confusion..I see bobbins are the answer. Thanks for doing this tutorial. Blessings.
Thank you for showing this C2C graph , I am new here and seen this love it . It is something i am going to try in the future. You doing a great job explaining 👍 enjoy your weekend 😊
Thanks! Always worry whether people will understand how I explain the stitch or not. Or if I am talking too much. Lol. Thanks for your feedback and have a great weekend!
I am so happy right now, I was hoping that you would do this graphgan tutorial, when you had announced it before I was so excited 😆 , I enjoy watching your podcast ❤️🧶👍🏾🎉
Thank you so much, Terri. I've been wanting to learn this stich technique for a while now. I would love to make my little granddaughter an afghan for her bed with a large rose in shades of rose and pink, with her name Payton across the top. Your bobbins are so cute....when you laid them out side by side, they looked so much like little bunny ears to me! Guess I have Easter on my mind because of the egg.... :)
I think I will - I sawI have a cloudy sky pattern, two colours only and that will be after a top I saw on the blog called Genuine Mudpie, the top is called 8 bit, corner to corner all one ball but variegated : )
Can you do another tutorial on color changes in c2c when you have to change to another color that is sitting on top of the block.and if you have to make a block after a color block in c2c.
Hi again thank you for replying to me very appreciated and also with a graph I have c2c corner to corner, and with the video you show it us with block stitch can I do that With graph I have c2c corner to corner with the block stitch I find it easy for me than this video and I think in my opinion this block stitch is more better and tighter than corner to corner what you think I just want your suggestion to make my graph nicer sorry if I get you annoyed forgive me and thanks again
I always mess up on the decrease part, I never end up with a perfect square, it comes out catiwompas 🤯 can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Great tutorial!!
Hi Rae, so sorry that I am just now seeing your comment a year later. The bobbins I use are jumbo plastic clothes pins that I bought at Dollar Tree. They come in a six pack. I found something similar on Amazon that may work well. Here is a link: amzn.to/3kn1o0i
Would like to have seen you do a few of the decrease rows so that I could have seen how you went over a green and picked up the pink. I assume you just carry it
Can I ask a question why is it when C2C is taught u are starting in the left hand corner and it bulids up to the right and then when I watch videos to follow a pattern for c2c its right to left????? please help tia
If the graphic doesn't have any writing and the image is symetrical then doing it c2c makes it double sided. If it has writing or has a certain direction to it, then that would determine which side is the right side.
For this video, I was teaching how to do the c2c stitch using a graph. I can't really tell you how much yarn that is necessary to make the square. But it was not a very large square, so I don't think the it would take a lot. Mickey Mouse is a copyrighted character, so I would not be able to do a tutorial on his image.
@@prophetmelvinholmes3275 it depends on your tension. I would make a six inch swatch and see how many blocks it takes. Then you can see how many blocks it would take for the size you want.
You can look into programs like stitchfiddle.com . It is a free website where you can upload your image and resize it to however many squares across that you want. My hubby has done it for me. I am not that techy so I really couldn't tell you how to do it.
When you are doing a c2c graphan and you come to a spot where you do more than one row with the same number of blocks,will you please show me how to do this?
If your working yarn is close to wear the next stitches are, you can just carry the yarn up. If it will be skipping more than 2 or 3 stitches, I would cut my yarn and reattach it where you need it.
I got them in sets of 6 for $1 per set at Dollar Tree. You may be able to buy them at the Dollar Tree website online if you don't have a store in your area. They are jumbo clothes pins.
For this video, I was provided the chart and asked to teach how to crochet a graphgan following the chart using the Corner to Corner method of crochet. The chain six is part of the corner to corner method. There were no written directions. If you are not familiar with the basic corner to corner method, I do have a tutorial that teaches just the stitch method without following a chart. It may be easier to learn the stitch method first before trying to follow a charted graph. Here is a link to my basic corner to corner method of crochet: ua-cam.com/video/6AUPQ4-wfyk/v-deo.html
I got halfway through my graph, and my first row of decreases should have 24 blocks, but when I get to 24 there’s one block left over, making 25 again! 😭
@@jenniferward4262 , when you reach the halfway point on your graph, then instead of turning and chaining 6, you chain 1, turn and slip st along the block you just made to get to the top of it. then ch 3 and start creating your 1st block for that row. I show that at about minute 16:44 on the video.
Yarnjoy Podcast Yes, that part didn’t click at first but I got it now. Thank you! This tutorial is helping me make a blanket for my daughter for Christmas! ❤️
To get the actual chart, join the Ladylovesdesignboutique group on Facebook. Link in description box above. In this video I am basically teaching the stitch. It of course would apply to any graph. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!

I watched the video like 10 times already. First time doing c2c and it's super fun.

You are welcome
Thank you very much very useful video🌹🌹 from egypt🇪🇬 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love your videos. I still struggle on color changes in single crochet.i watched your video,I got a little lost.
Can you do another tutorial on color changes in c2c when you have to change to another color that is sitting on top of the block.and if you have to make a block after a color block in c2c.
I would love to try to make a Texas Flag on a graph. Your tutorial was great.
This was so helpful! I’ve always wanted to try graphgans but was intimidated, but this was so easy to follow I decided to give it a try. Great job!!
Thanks! Glad I could help!

I started this but can't go anywhere..loving her work. Will someone please allow me to be part of the group. I'm pending
Thank you for the tutorial. Can you please tell me where I can purchase the bobbins online.
Hi Rae, so sorry that I am just now seeing your comment a year later. The bobbins I use are jumbo plastic clothes pins that I bought at Dollar Tree. They come in a six pack. I found something similar on Amazon that may work well. Here is a link: amzn.to/3kn1o0i

👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing this! This may sound like a stupid question, but what do you do if you run out of one of the colors while you are working?
I will reload my bobbin and then join the end to the end where I ran out with a magic knot.
How do you figure out the right side from wrong side
If the graphic doesn't have any writing and the image is symetrical then doing it c2c makes it double sided. If it has writing or has a certain direction to it, then that would determine which side is the right side.
Where did you get the bobbin clip things
They are jumbo plastic clothes pins. Got them from Dollar Tree.
How much yarn would you need and how long did it take you to do it. And can you do Mickey mouse
For this video, I was teaching how to do the c2c stitch using a graph. I can't really tell you how much yarn that is necessary to make the square. But it was not a very large square, so I don't think the it would take a lot. Mickey Mouse is a copyrighted character, so I would not be able to do a tutorial on his image.
So I see you have 25 squares across how many would make a good size queen blanket
@@prophetmelvinholmes3275 it depends on your tension. I would make a six inch swatch and see how many blocks it takes. Then you can see how many blocks it would take for the size you want.
What are you using for bobbins please
They are jumbo plastic clothes pins that I got from the Dollar Tree.
How do you know how many bobbins to use?
I count the patches of color going across the chart diagonally.
What if my C2C is not large enough and I want the picture larger
You can look into programs like stitchfiddle.com . It is a free website where you can upload your image and resize it to however many squares across that you want. My hubby has done it for me. I am not that techy so I really couldn't tell you how to do it.
do you have a pattern for softball like what you do thanks
No I don't, but just search for softball perler bead chart or softball pixel chart and you shoud find some.
where do you get the yarn bobbins?
Dollar Tree. Where the laundry supplies are like clothes lines, baskets, and coat hangers.
@@YarnjoyPodcast Thank you so much! I can't wait to get started on this next afghan project!! :D

where can I make up a gragh?That looks like your,s?
the blocks
I like to use stitchfiddle.com
🦉 Where did you get those awesome bobbins? Are they available on line? I can't find them in any store where I live.
I got them in sets of 6 for $1 per set at Dollar Tree. You may be able to buy them at the Dollar Tree website online if you don't have a store in your area. They are jumbo clothes pins.
@@YarnjoyPodcast I got mine today at the dollar tree they have them in stock

Maybe you only decreased on one side instead of both sides?
Yarnjoy Podcast So....do I slip stitch in into the last block like I did with the first one?
