I’ve watched c2c tutorials before, and figured I could never do that. Just watched several other tutorials hopelessly tonight, and saw yours, decided to go ahead and watch one more (yours). Why is yours so much clearer and encouraging?!?! Now I’m ready to try it! Thank you Mikey, calm and steady, yet infinitely clearer than most! And I’m ok with the slamming in three more stitches slang! Lol! Thanks again!

[sweethaven]

4:14 Let me tell you just that little change on the edge is AMAZING!! It keeps my work “straight”!! Thanks!!

[carolablue]

I saw this video for the first time tonight. You are at your best when you make videos like this.

[karenWiv]

Wow. I’m 4 skeins into a C2C. This is such a great tip! I’ve only been learning for 4 months. I love the C2C stitch. Next blanket illl be using this. Thanks. 🤩

[cynthiacazares]

I have made many C2C blankets. This is the first time seeing someone anchor a stitch. Will have to try it. I usually put a border, but if you anchor the stitch, you don't need a border. Thank you for this tutorial.

[ginaaragon]

I love the anchoring idea! Thank you for the extra lesson in pinching as you go! I'll be using this as a lesson for m newbie crocheter! ❤

[nancyhildreth]

Thanks Mikey. I had given up o C2C because of the way it looked when finished. This answers the question I have about the shape.

[semperfeist]

Perfect. I really like the updated hacks, keeping it straight and square. Was just what I needed for my patchwork bag design. You always come through when my mind designs something but has no clue how to get there. Thanks!

[micheledenis]

Great tip about anchoring the edge - I will do this going forward when making C2C blankets. I haven’t had an issue with this type of blanket but really like the idea of the anchoring. Thanks!!!

[elizabethg.]

This is an amazing tutorial! I just saw a pattern on etsy that I wanted to buy but I've never done a c2c blanket before. I found videos that were helpful on how to read the patterns, but the demonstration was a) very dry or 2) confusing. You made it so simple for me to understand and actually feel confident that I can do it. Thank you so much!

[feleciahammel]

❤love the anchoring method. Thanks Mikey. You are a wonderful teacher ❤️

[karenh]

I was watching Crocheting with Nonna Rosanna this morning, and she was saying how much she liked this anchoring technique. So, I just finished your tutorial, and I like it too! Thank you!!

[MawmawLife]

I don’t typically have trouble with C2C but I love this technique! I will be doing this going forward. And I love this border too! Thank you for all the time and work you do to help us be better at our craft. ❤

[tracyharmon]

Thank you Mikey!!! All my c2c blankets turn out wonky. So i quit making them. 😢 Now I'll give this technique a try! I just love you!!

[fourliltadpoles]

Thank you so much for this video. I have referred to it so often. Just finished a C2C baby blanket with this exact border. I love it!

[adee]

Love your slang, Mikey 😊
Thanks for the updated tutorial- you're the best ❤

[donnaboyd]

Finally a straight edge on C2C! Thank you for a clear tutorial I can actually follow.

[elizabethalexander-pukerud]

Love the "slam in!". That's how I often feel close to an end!

[ssmshell]

Better late than never…just found this excellent video! The anchor technique is a game changer…thanks so much…
