    I've made countless C2C and then found a new craft (sewing) 😂so I needed a refresher. Try watching the 1st video I found on UA-cam. Got frustrated really quickly. I was not getting it , but it was my fault for not coming here first. As soon as you did row two, I stopped the video, and It all came back to me. You are an excellent instructor. THAT IS A GIFT !!! live being back to the crochet crowd. Sad, I never got to go on a cruise . Raising kids as an SM bit love watching the pictures and video's

    Of all the C2C videos I have watched on UA-cam, this is the easiest one to watch, AND to work along with. Mikey, thank you very much for the ease at which you teach, and indeed, leaving no one behind.

    I just have to thank you. After initially being introduced to crochet by a friend I had to rely Langley on UA-cam for skill developtment. You are, by far, the best instructor I've found that isn't in real life. You're clear, concise, and don't let your hands, lighting, or camera angles get in the way. You neither talk down to me or over my head. Thank you.

    I have been trying to make this type of afghan for YEARS and I could never follow the written instructions and it still amazes me that all I had to do was watch Mikey do this to the second row and it all clicked. Thank you Crochet Crowed for helping me with this one.

    LONG AGO I made afghans and a stocking with this stitch. I'm talking 1980s. I learned this from my mother-in-law. I haven't crocheted for around 25 years. Now I forgot how to do the stitch and your tutorial is fantastic. I'm definitely in need of a refresher course in crocheting. Thank you so much!

I have very little experience with crocheting, and I'm left handed, but I've been trying to find the pattern to her afghans for many years now! This is finally it! I can make these just like my Grandma did. Thank you for the tutorial

    FYI everyone, I just watched a tutorial (I forget who by but will write it here if anyone asks later) where a lady used this pattern for a shawl. It's amazing and, since so many of these comments are confused about the decrease section, it eliminates the need to decrease. Awesome!

    Mikey your video is spot on. GREAT JOB. I remember doing this about 10 years or so. My mother in law taught me how to do it. I was talking to her about this and asking her if she remembered how to do it 2 weeks ago and she had forgot. Here you are with the pattern and a video to boot. Was your ears ringing. Lol. Thank you for the pattern and video. It was a fast and easy to do. This would be good for our next challenge. Well I'm off to get hookin my African Flower Granny square afghan. Enjoy :-)

I was intimidated at first because of the Intermediate skill level as I always thought I was just a beginner. But after following your instructions, I am now eager to stretch my hooks and see what else I can make. Thank you again. :-)

    Your tutorials are always so easy to understand & see how to do the project's basics. The c2c tutorials were most helpful to me as I am a more visual learner & the pattern I had for my 1st c2c blanket was only text / no photos or drawings to give me a clue where to attach stitches or how to turn the work. Once you work the stitches, this really is a fun & simple project & it works up quickly 😄👍 🥰

    The link on my website in the link of the video has info on the actual one I am doing. Mine was 44" wide before decreasing. I was doing a show sample. I used 12 balls total of Red Heart Boutique Midnight. It's a higher end yarn so you need more yarn as there is less yardage on the ball.

But I've saved this for when I need to decrease LOL. I wish you could add a picture here, I'm so dang proud of this! I'm a newbie and pretty much self-taught, so this is a huge project for me and I'm so proud of how well I'm doing on this. I'm doing it in pink, purple and blue (my three favorite colors) and my best friend wants one now in different shades of the same colors! That was a moment of pride for me, too :) Thank you!

    Love this pattern... It does work up very quickly. I started last night and only worked about 1/2 hour and i have over a dozen rows. Thanks for the new pattern. (new for me anyway)
