Thank you! I love the look of granny square crochet but have avoided making afghans, scarves or shawls with them because I hated the joining process by sewing them together ( the only method I had ever seen). This encourages me to try a traditional granny square piece after many years. I have done several afghans that are just one giant granny square but it’s not the same.

This is so funny because I’m working on a continuous border/join on a linen stitch square blanket! I think this is going to be very similar to the method I’m basing my work on, which was a tutorial from Hooked by Robin.

Thankyou for such a good tutorial at a nice pace too. I’m making a cardigan and I have followed your method but I am now stuck as I have come to the triangle I used for the neckline. I have joined it on 2 sides successfully but not sure what to do with the diagonal side of the triangle as there are no spaces as such to do the double crochets in if you know what I mean. Do you have a tutorial for this?

@katharinebarton3527 Ай бұрын

Great video, super clear. Could I check, did you block the squares before joining them all together? I’m making a shirt do not sure whether to block it and when? Thank you for your advice😊

@bellacococrochet Ай бұрын

Thank you, I'm glad you like it 😊 It comes down to personal preference whether you block them or not; if you turn your granny square after each round it should work up nice and straight, so no need to block.

@mushundir5238 9 ай бұрын

This is awesome, and will be very handy with my next temperature blanket, thanks! If we didn’t want the holes in it, do you think it’d work if before you pulled your last loop through in your treble crochets when joining between the two sides, you put your hook in the top of the other side and pull a loop through that one and pull through all three? Or do you think it’d be too bulky? Maybe back loop only to stretch it out a bit?

@bellacococrochet 9 ай бұрын

You’re welcome, I’m glad you like it! 😊 For the method you describe, I would work your treble crochet as normal, remove your hook, pop your hook through the corresponding stitch on the square you’re attaching to, and then pull the loop through and begin working your next stitch. Hope that makes sense!

You’re welcome 😊 You can block them if you wish but it’s not really necessary; especially if you turn your squares after each round as you’ll find they work up nice and straight then.

I've made your sunburst granny that has double trebles in the corner do I have to join differently using this method or can I swap to trebles in the corner now?

The double trebles are just to make the initial square shape; you can just swap to using trebles once you come to joining after this round 😊

@jo-denevyfer339 2 ай бұрын

Let’s say, I’ve joined in all 6 squares but I have another 3 or however more squares I’ve made for a blanket. How would I continue adding in more squares ?

@bellacococrochet 2 ай бұрын

You'd need to know what you want the construction of the blanket to be. For example, how many squares wide you want it and how many squares tall. You would start by joining all the squares for one row and then continue to build from there. For example, you want your blanket to be 5 squares wide and 7 squares tall. Start by joining 5 squares to make your first row, then continue to add squares row by row. Hope that helps x

@abigailpalmer5971 6 ай бұрын

Can you use this technique for doing say a Christmas stocking? Your granny squares are the exact same style that I'm going to need to do, and as I'm looking at my great grandmother's crochet job on the stocking she did, it appears that she may have done the attaching of each granny square in this same style

@bellacococrochet 5 ай бұрын

You can use this method for different shapes but I would recommend drawing out a diagram of your squares first, to work out the order of the join and see whether it will be possible 😊 You may find that you need to use the join as you go technique (but not a continuous join).

@jenniferp7807 4 ай бұрын

Question.... what if I decide I want a double border around the outer edge? Would I do a chain, slip stitch, chain into the spot where the corners meet still or would I do a treble crochet in one of the corner meets loops. I hope this makes sense

@bellacococrochet 4 ай бұрын

If you want to work a border once you’ve joined all of your squares, I would work a stitch into each adjoining corner space 😊

@cmkaminski 6 ай бұрын

I want to make a sweater using this method. How would you suggest doing the sleeves?

@bellacococrochet 6 ай бұрын

It would probably be simplest to work the sleeves separately and seam them to the sweater; you could join the squares into a rectangle to make the sleeves but it will depend on whether you want to work any shaping etc 😊

@jyttescheepens3838 5 ай бұрын

I’m working on a granny square gardigan and using this join as you go stitch to get all the granny squares together, but sadly i don’t understand how to join the whole gardigan all in one go, so i’m now joining all the panels ( front panel, back panel and sleeves) separately first to then sew them together.. i don’t know yet whether this is the right way or how to do this so if you have any tips or advices it would be so much appreciated!

@bellacococrochet 5 ай бұрын

That sounds like you’re doing it the right way to me 😊 It can be tricky to join all of the squares for a project in one continuous join when it’s a more complicated shape (eg. not a blanket) but drawing out a diagram on some paper can help you plan out the order of the joining, and to see whether it’s possible.

@elizabethstl6103 7 ай бұрын

Since this is join-as-you-go where you're essentially adding in another round to the squares, does that mean you don't have to go through the blocking process before joining them?

@bellacococrochet 7 ай бұрын

It’s completely optional whether you want to block your squares or not; especially if you turn your squares over after each round as this will ensure they work up nice and straight anyway 😊

You could definitely use the join as you go method for a tote bag, but I’m not sure if you could use the continuous join as you go; you’d need to work out the order in which you were going to attach them first 😊

@bellacococrochet 4 ай бұрын

Row three is just a repeat of row two; it can be confusing at first and definitely take some getting used to 😊 I find it helps to draw out a diagram of your squares with a line for the joining so it’s really clear.
