C2C help?

Hello.
I have never done a C2C graph before but my daughter wanted a Minecraft blanket. Is it ok? I think it looks not right. Are there any suggestions as to how to make it better? I know I have a tension issue sometimes it’s ok for the project and others is not. Any and all criticism is welcome hope the pictures load​:unamused:





I have finished the creeper square and will be working on the zombie square next

Zombie square​:grin:



Ghast square now need to make 3 more of them then on to the next square.I still see mistakes but kid insists on leaving them in​:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
As promised the full blanket minus the green border and sewing the squares together

This is my first. I watched a video from swish and stitch website. I’m just not sure if I’m doing it right or how to improve my tension

I think it looks OK from here. :wink: Weave the ends, back and forth 3 times. Being careful to keep the colors in the same color stitches.

Are you connecting these like a quilt? I think they look great. Tension is important always, but I don’t know of any tips to help with that. Practice? I do take some stitches out when they are too bad.

I am excited to see this completed. I’m sure she will love it.

If you do decide to attach them like a quilt, blocking can help making your tensions more uniform looking in the end :slight_smile:

Ooo I love c2c. I think it looks great! I don’t see what looks “off” at all. Maybe you’re staring at it too long and psyching yourself out?:sweat_smile: Like when you write a word and then stare at it and can’t remember how it’s spelled anymore, even thought it’s an easy word like, “book”. :joy:

The Minecraft pieces you have done look amazing! I had the same issue in that all my C2C pieces have ended up looking wonky when finished. I found that the best thing to do was wash and block them.

I’m not really into c2c but it looks to me like you are getting comfortable and relaxing into it, and that has loosened your gauge from where you started. (it’s common) you can try moving down a hook size and see if it neatens back up a little for you :slightly_smiling_face:

Plus, everything looks better after you block it.

Thank you. Would changing the hook change the size of the squares?
