Such a fun project! I'm new to granny squares and your instructions were super easy to follow. My book sleeve turned out great. I used (from the inside out) turquoise, light pink, orange, light yellow and turquoise again for the center. Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial!

Mine did not turn out quite as good as yours but I improvised a lot to customize it and I'm so happy with it ! Great tutorial

I just finished my project, and you are the first person to successfully teach me to whip stitch on camera (one side may be on the wrong side for me hehe first time things). I’m brand new to crochet and this is my first big thing so thank you!!! My obsession with granny squares grows stronger especially since learning me how versatile they are. I hope your day is good because you made mine so much better with this video. :)

@ediebegonia 5 ай бұрын

Maybe larger hook with heavier yarn to increase the size of the squares? I'd think adding about 1" should be sufficient 🤷‍♀️

@@ediebegonia I'm currently making one for my paperback ACOMAF. Its a pretty thick book, but you can just continue to add rows until it is big enough to encase the book. :)

you could also add rounds to your granny squares!! add a round with some puff stitches in there for some extra space :) just an idea!

This was an amazing tutorial! Your instructions were so good and my book sleeve came out amazing. I used colors (from inside out) white, lavender, sage green, grey and then ended with white again! Want to make one for my best friend for her birthday and experiment with different sizes. Overall I am very pleased with how it came out for my first time ever doing granny squares!

I made one last night in colors cream, yellow, mustard, and black. Just using yarn from my stash instead of buying more. I'm making another one in two different shades of pink (can't remember the names), glacier, and a dark green (also don't know the name). It's so fun and easy to make. Thanks for the tutorial!

Absolutely the best tutorial I've ever watched! My granny squares always looked pretty off, but with this tutorial, they looked sooo good. I finished the book sleeve in one day, and I'm sooo proud. Definitely very good for beginners.

@bethkane24 Ай бұрын

I made one for a friend. Her favorite colors are red, yellow, and green. So I made the granny square like a flower wit yellow in the middle and red around the yellow. Then I did a lighter green and then a darker green. It turned out really pretty! So easy!

I used a steamer but the steam from an iron is the same, so yes! I have also done wet blocking for these and it worked well, but I prefer steam blocking :)

I envision this in shades of purple and ecru. My hands shake and I'd have trouble feeding the tie through the flap on a regular basis. I was wondering if adding a button on the flap and another on the front of the sleeve for winding the tie in a figure eight would work instead.

@AshtenStitches 5 ай бұрын

Oh absolutely!! I even thought about those magnetic button clasps being a great option!

I want to know how to make my project loose. I just made it but it was kind of tight not loose and flexible like yours. What could be the problem?

@AshtenStitches 4 ай бұрын

Tension is probably the issue! Try going up a hook size and see if that helps :) basically my squares were 5 inches so as long as you get there, it should be good!

@nalaniavila7752 4 ай бұрын

can we block the squares before putting the border? or is it better to block it once they’re all connected?

@AshtenStitches 4 ай бұрын

You can definitely do that! I prefer doing it once they’re all sewn together and I’ve added the border so it can all block together, but you can block whenever you’d like!

You should be fine to just keep going! To avoid your square doing that weird spiral thing, I’d suggest chaining up and then turning for each round!
