      You can go into the settings/options and change the speed of playing. Tap extreme upper right corner, and you see some options. Click the three vertical dots. You’ll see “Playback Speed”. Choose .75 or .50. The point 75 one usually keeps the words understandable, and slows down video enough to catch what you need to focus on.

    • @crochetmelovely
      @crochetmelovely  2 місяці тому

      I would still follow the steps with the same color, if eliminates seams within your blanket. But if you want to continue without cutting, you'd just SL ST to finish the current row. Then make CHs with the same color to start the next row. Hope this helps! 💕🫶
