Thanks for a very thorough video! I would definitely recommend it for anyone new to granny squares who wants a complete walk-through.
ReplyDeleteThis is so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Still strugling with my tension, ie how to hold the wool, but I'm told this comes with practice!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I have been trying to crochet for goodness knows how long. My tension is all over the place but I'll get there :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a silly question, and I am asking here (despite seeing helpers on other vloggers) : After I have a pile of squares, do you have a how-to for that inbetween bit connecting them? I have been hunting for tutorials for a long time and yours are the best and easiest to follow I have seen, so am hoping for more :) (http://www.scenicreflections.com/files/Afghan_Blanket_Wallpaper_0u8t.jpg)
ReplyDeleteAfraid I don't. Seaming/joining is probably my least favorite thing to do so I avoid it at all costs. Try Crochet Geek on YouTube, she is the crochet queen!
DeleteThanks! :)
DeleteIs there anyway to just keep going till I have a nice size throw
DeleteIf I want to make it bigger, do I just keep going with the rounds?
ReplyDeleteYes, just keep going round and round until it is as big as you want it to be.
DeleteThank you for going slowly, pausing before each new stitch, and explaining what you are doing. This is my first time trying this pattern and I want to do it right.

ReplyDeleteYou just keep working the rounds. Check this pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/classic-granny-square-blanket
DeleteHello, I would like to ask a question. I watched your video on making a granny square. But I seem to have a little problem. The first few rounds are a little off centered to the right. I was wondering if maybe you knew what went wrong.
ReplyDeleteI'll give you a couple of links that discuss this issue and some solutions. http://www.crochetcabana.com/html/granny_problems.html or try this one http://www.yarnoverpullthrough.com/granny-square-leans-to-the-right
DeleteHello I want to do some videos tutorial how to crochet I sell yarn and want to give this videos to my costumers can you do it and I will pay you for this work thank you enaraki@live.com
ReplyDeleteCan you please correct your pattern instructions? Just before completing the fie first slip stitch to close the round, your video shows you doing a chain 3 before the slip stitch, which is not mentioned in the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI unwound three attempts before watching your video and seeing why my attempts looked so strange.
Thank you.
I keep making circles instead of squares...what am I doing wrong? :(

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your video, I have been trying to learn to crochet for years. My Daughter who is amazing at crocheting tried, but I went back to embroidery and knitting.
ReplyDeleteAfter watching your video a few times I’m half way through a small lap blanket.
Thank you so much💖💖💖
I am a newbie and would like to know when do I double chain and when do I use three chain. Is dc on the straight side of the square one either side of the triple crochet? And use three chains before and after rounding corners?
ReplyDeleteThanks for working at a speed that made it possible to work with you! I'm new to all this crochet and still finding my way with holding the wool and the tension.
ReplyDeleteI’m left handed. Have been trying to crochet for years. Followed your Awesome instructions, you voice is calming, had a couple of ‘what the’ moments. Have now completed 3 blankets for family, now doing for rescue dogs.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. 💖🇦🇺
