Granny square patterns are so much fun and have to be one of the easiest patterns to use when you want to create a big blanket fast. I’ve been crocheting for 40 years and I turn to the Granny Square pattern often. You can’t go wrong. And changing colors really does make the blanket look like you’ve spent even more time on it than you have. 😊 Just always tie in those loose stands well so it doesn’t come undone the first time someone washes it. 😊 … NICE job on the tutorial by the way. Not everyone can understand patterns and tutorials are so helpful.

Hi, I made this in a modified version, 4 large granny squares, each starting with a different color. My question is how do I weave in the “tails” of the different colors I used or do I just cut them off?

@AmandaCrochets Жыл бұрын

To weave in your ends, you will use a tapestry needle to go in between the stitches made. Keep like colors with like colors to hide them even more. I usually go back and forth in between the stitches 3 different times to make sure they're secure. Once you feel they're secure enough, you can cut the remaining tails. Hope that helps! :)

I went all the way around and never came to the beginning chain and so I kept going thinking I have to come to the beginning chain at some point. I probably went around two or three times before it occurred to me that I forgot to do the chain three! What do I do now? It looks alright, but how will I ever end it? Do I have to take it out? Is there any way to fix this?

I would try ending just before you get to a corner. Then I would slip stitch a few times to even things out. That should hopefully help a little.

To finish your blanket, you’ll want to make your last stitch, cut your yarn leaving a long tail, yarn over your hook and pull through. You’ve created a knot. Then you will weave your yarn tail in and out between the stitches (I go in 3 different directions) to really hide your tail. I hope that helps!
