Hello! Thank you so much for these clear video instructions! It cleared up my confusion about the middle part of the rectangle. You may want to check the instructions on your website, for the middle part it says to "Repeat Row 2" when it should be to Repeat Row 1 and Row 2. Thanks again for a great video!
Love this…no irritating background music or noise, no high pitched (voice) trying to be excited about the pattern, just simple get to it knitting tutorial thank you so much this is easy peasy. Very enjoyable your voice is very soothing I could listen to you all day. FYI I’m sound sensitive you are a gem. Thank you so much. I didn’t have to mute and use cc ❤❤❤
Have a TON of yarn to do something with! So glad I found this video! Now I can reduce my stash, make blankets for people, use my interchangeable needles and extend the cords, and free myself of the 'hoarding my yarns' guilt!!
Love your demonstrations! Very clear easy to follow. You knit very quickly! I'm a continental knitter but am trying to hold my yarn in my left hand as you do to knit faster! Learning new tricks at 84!
I just finished my first blanket using this pattern. I'm so thrilled with it as it's my first big knitting project. Thank you so much for sharing these videos!
I can’t tell you how pleased I am on this day to have found your channel. I don’t want to bore with my problem’s suffice to say that 4 yrs ago I had a stroke. I am immensely lucky to have come through all of that and I count my blessings every day. BUT…. (there’s always a but) my brain isn’t quite right, in that i find ‘counting’ hard and my speech has been badly affected. I used to be able to knit, pretty much anything especially Aran patterns . I loved them. To cut a long story short, I can knit, I can crochet and I’m thankful but as a beginner. I love garter stitch because it’s easy and I spend my time knitting and crocheting baby blankets and they go to our ‘Baby Basics’. So, thankyou for your clear, concise tutorials and excellent camera work. I’m going to start this corner to corner blanket tomorrow….gets my creative juices flowing again🎉❤. Thanks and hello from beautiful NI, Belfast.
Thanks so much for sharing this blanket pattern! It’s my daughter’s favorite! I made her newborns 45 inch square ones. The little toes don’t get caught; and, the blankets were big enough to swaddle them!
You've just added to my 'need to make' list - as if it wasn't long enough! After crocheting for a while, I've just started a pair of knitted socks, a shawl, and now this! Thanks for ths inspiration.😊
I just finished my very first knitting project with this blanket. It was very easy to follow for an absolute beginner. Thank you very much for this video 😊
I've been a crocheter for 10 years now and I've always struggled with knitting. I just learned how to knit over the summer and this sounds manageable and it's absolutely beautiful! Thanks!
Какой замечательный Мастер-класс. Связала внуку плед, собрала при этом одиночные моточки и остаточки ниточек подсобрала. И красивая каемка получилась по ходу вязания. Спасибо Вам огромное за идею.
What an easy pattern! I struggle with neat edges, especially on cast off rows. Knitting corner to corner is so smart and that border is beautiful. Think I might make a project of this for my niece who is due in about a month. Thank you!
I'm almost done with a blanket using your tutorial. Thank you! Nice instructions and I love your voice. And, I've finally used up a whole bunch of chunky yarn that was sent to me by mistake. XO from SW Colorado.
Hi Laurelin, Have just discovered your channel and have been enjoying your videos. I am a visual leaner and find the way you give your tutorials very easy to understand thank you for sharing. Just this week (September) I have been blessed with my first great grandchild, and this idea for a blanket is exactly what I needed to keep me busy as we come into the long winter evenings. "Mindless knitting" is perfect as there is no pattern but the actual finished item looks great. Chris from Kent
Excellent tutorial. I've never made this blanket because I don't like square blankets. What a treat to learn how to make it in a rectangular shape. I believe this will make a wonderful shawl for church.
Thank you! This pattern is the best. I am using Bernat blanket yarn. It grows quickly and beautifully. I will be using your pattern for many more blankets.
What a wonderful, beautiful pattern and terrific tutorial! I look forward to working up this fun and easy pattern that makes a great stash-buster, too! Thank you!! Love batik and how yours turned out. 💗🧶💗
Using this to get rid of my cotton drawer… I suppose mine will double as a beach towel 😂 though I just made it stockinette with the same edge. Great explanation of the increase! I always stuck with yarn overs but this is so nice too
Brilliant idea, thank you for the tutorial and the pattern. I have an elderly Aunt who wants a lap rug and this will be ideal, love it and my colours will be cheerful to, same as yours. Thanks again, take care.
This tutorial is just awesome, I have always wondered how a c to c is done on a knitted blanket and especially a rectangle . You have just shown me how , thank you so much ! Now I will be able to use up all bits of yarn that I have in my stash . Thank you again !
I finished my second corner to corner and after a 1 hr break I am starting a 3rd....this one I'll do in stocking stitch- so I think i will increase at the start and end of the plain stitch row so that I don't have to increase on the purl row.
Laurelin thank you so much I've almost finished making your diagonal garter stitch baby blanket which i thoroughly enjoyed. It had holes along the edge. (Which complimented my rookie holes i made here and there by accident). Which was a good place to start I feel ready to try this one with KFB increase. I also appreciate the way you stick to a standard size for your blankets so it is easy to figure out how much yarn we will need, for a bigger blanket I just have to listen to how much yarn you used and x4 + 1 incase.
Beautiful blanket. Easy knitting for summer. Looking in my stash I have the yarn. Yeeeh. And away I go. Thank you so much for this tutorial I just love it.
Just finishing In Fours (with some blunders😅) . But nice first project after some years not knitting. Overall good confidence build. Will try c2c or fisherman's rib next. Many babies joining the family😊 they all need a warm welcome ❤
Good! I think two baby blankets would make the front and back to a sweater and then all I've got to do is figure out how to make some sleeves - which I would probably crochet for a lacy effect.... never enough unfinished projects lying about in bags I say! Lol
Loved this demo…. Very clear. Thank you 😊 I was interested in the way you cast on and held the yarn while knitting… is there a video showing this method please?
A new baby (grand niece) expected in September for our family. My goal: have 3 blankets (all different, all your patterns) by the time baby is born. Thank you for these very easy to follow, unique blankets!💕
lovely pattern simple but looks great I've just received yarn from you shade 554-14 have started to knit it looking great love the colour mix my daughter is having a girl in November love your tutorial keep them coming best wishes
I haven’t knitted for years, was once prolific. I learned to crochet just before Covid which was great as it was amazing being able to improve my skills particularly during that first year. I’ve just seen your blanket which looks gorgeous so I thought I would give it a go. I was very surprised watching your technique, totally different to how I used to knit. I have heard people talk about the continental style which I think is said to be quicker and more efficient. Is that what you are doing? Love the blanket. I remember my son and wife had a shop bought one very similar for their first born and it was very pricey!
Hello! Yes it’s continental knitting, my mum is from Finland and it’s her that taught me to knit so it was just me picking up the style she knits in. I would definitely agree though that continental style is much much easier for a crocheter to pick up when coming to the craft. (As a side note - I’m the opposite to you, I was a prolific crocheter and decided to learn to knit when my grandmother died as I wanted to knit socks like she did)
This is the c2c equivalent of a fabulous beach reading book, I really love it. Question: can you advise is there a way to adapt this to changing two colors (to make stripes) but carrying the yarn so you don't have to weave in ends? Or should I settle for using a magic knot at the points of color change and risk things not looking quite as neat as they should?
I have tried to make the border wider but then the decrease corner doesn’t look right, I tried using short rows to fix it but I never got to a stage when I was happy with it.
Always love your blanket patterns. Thanks so much. I'm knitting a blanket using different shades of blue - navy, light blue, multi blues etc. How should I work out when to change the yarn colours? Thanks Cheryl
I've made quite a few cat blankets since I first saw your mitred squares videos. Now I would like to try diagonal squares. Do you have a preferred method of picking up stitches to join the squares please?
PS Interesting that you knit continental style, as I have recently learnt to do. It might be worth mentioning this to a traditional U.K. knitting audience used to the « throw » method. I find the continental knit and the Norwegian purl very relaxing.
Hi Linda, I actually have quite a broad audience across the world so I haven’t felt the need to mention it - I can following throwing videos easily so assumed the throwers of the world can still follow mine too and knit the project in their own style :-) My mum is from Finland and I was taught to knit by her - hence the continental style 😀
I just completed my first baby blanket using this pattern. It turned out great! Your instructions and pattern are simple and clear. I am just wondering if it is possible to not end with a pointy corner, or is that just a characteristic of a corner to corner blanket?
Thank you for sharing this. For the part where you decrease at the beginning of each row, would you still knit two and knit two together for stripes (when knitting with two colours), please? Or will that cause the new colour to bleed into the new row?
I really like this one but I have to admit that I increase twice on one row at 4th stitch in from either side and use the second row as a pure knit "stabilizer" row with the decrease replacing the increase when its time to reduce at the appropriate side depending on if I am making a square or rectangle.
Another great way of doing it too, I wanted to keep this really simple with the one row repeat 😀 Also, when using a kfb if you’re increasing at the opposite end you’ll need to increase one stitch earlier than at the beginning otherwise your “edge” effect will be one stitch wider on one side.
@@SnufflebeanYarn huh, okay. I've just been doing it on stitch 4 for either side and it seems to be working. Using the 3 stitches as the "edge" and the 4th in from either side as the one to increase... Unless I get annoyed early on when its still fiddly then I do it down the center as a variation on the mitered square on either side of the center marker with appropriate adjustments for rectangles when I hit the first decrease point.... Makes a nice subtle line down the center at least on the triangle sections. Not sure I won't switch to the outside edges for the decrease/increase on the extended center for the rectangle portion until its back to pure decrease since it shifts around the center stitch point during that extension.... Sorry, I freehand everything because my brain doesn't like following instructions laid out on paper for creative projects. Building and engineering stuff? Yeah, brain has no problem. Creative stuff and crafting? Not so much. 😅
The little “bump” from a kfb increase always appears to the right of the stitch, so if you work a kfb into the 4th stitch from the begging and the 4th stitch from the end on one side you’ll have 4 stitches and the kfb “bump” at one side and a kfb bump and 3 stitches at the opposite side, probably not visible to 99% of people but I am super finickety about things like that - a flaw in my personality.
@@SnufflebeanYarn Oh! That makes so much more sense! I didn't realize but I probably would have noticed once I swapped from center line increases to the edges for the sideways shift (1 increase + 1 decrease) for the main body of the rectangle. Thank you for explaining that! Edit: I think I forgot to tell you that on the wrong side I was doing two purl stitches on either side of the blanket at sitch 4 & 5 from the inside which smoothed things over before I got fed up with it. It made a really nice effect.

Hi Margaret! Thanks for pointing that out for me! I’ll get it corrected in the morning. I really appreciate it 😀
You have a knit 2 in video but pattern saying knit 3 on row 2 which doesn't make sense.
Àaaaa

So simple and perfect to make in any size you need. It can be anything from a wash cloth to a king-size blanket. Thanks for the tutorial.
That’s what I love about it too! Happy knitting!
What size needle are you using
4mm needles on dk yarn
Did you make a king -size blanket yet if so how many balls of yarn did you use
So pretty! It didn't look too difficult either.
Thank you for showing us this. I have crocheted the C2c, but had no clue how to do knitted C2c.
Hope you enjoy it :)

Thank you. I will definitely try this.
Love this look, thou I think I want the border bigger would I just move the increase? 🤔

Always love your blanket patterns. Thanks so much. I'm knitting a blanket using different shades of blue - navy, light blue, multi blues etc. How should I work out when to change the yarn colours? Thanks Cheryl
Just change yarn when you are ready to introduce a new colour, and make sure you always change colour at the same edge of the blanket.
I've made quite a few cat blankets since I first saw your mitred squares videos. Now I would like to try diagonal squares. Do you have a preferred method of picking up stitches to join the squares please?

The little “bump” from a kfb increase always appears to the right of the stitch, so if you work a kfb into the 4th stitch from the begging and the 4th stitch from the end on one side you’ll have 4 stitches and the kfb “bump” at one side and a kfb bump and 3 stitches at the opposite side, probably not visible to 99% of people but I am super finickety about things like that - a flaw in my personality.
@@SnufflebeanYarn Oh! That makes so much more sense! I didn't realize but I probably would have noticed once I swapped from center line increases to the edges for the sideways shift (1 increase + 1 decrease) for the main body of the rectangle. Thank you for explaining that!
Edit:
I think I forgot to tell you that on the wrong side I was doing two purl stitches on either side of the blanket at sitch 4 & 5 from the inside which smoothed things over before I got fed up with it. It made a really nice effect.
