How do I make my crochet look like a rectangle?

So lately I’ve been trying to learn how to crochet. I’m trying to make a blanket and I know how to make a chain but every time I start crocheting I realize it ends up looking more like a circle or oval…never a rectangle and it’s really irritating because I have to keep starting over. I tried a bunch of different things but nothing’s working. How do it make it look like a blanket and not an oval floor mat?

thanksss (:

Answer #1

Have you already tried using one of those plastic helper grids? That way, you make one that’s fairly stiff, etc, while learning the pattern required. Then the next time, you can make a rectangular shape without the helper grid. Most craft stores have them.
