Got you beat with 1000 mini squares for a lapghan. All squares out of scrap variegated 4 ply worsted yarn. Love your tutorial.

I love watching how different people hold their hands while crocheting. I crochet with the hook underhand as well. Your tension technique is unique! You yarn over like a knitter! Anyway...ignore me. I live in a constant state of hyper -caffeination, which often inhibits my ability to communicate like a normal human being. I love your squares! I'm using a cross stitch pattern to make a granny square blanket, and these will be perfect. Thank you for the upload!

@nicolec4744 5 жыл бұрын

I'm doing the same thing right now but knitting! I love using cross stitch patterns for everything BUT cross stitch lol. I'm working on a project that is likely far too ambitious and will end up in my pile of unfinished things. I'm knitting the periodic table of elements using a big cross stitch pattern. Gonna be ENORMOUS but awesome I hope!

I’m trying to do mini mini 1:12 granny squares and I just can’t do it I think I need super strong magnifying glasses on. My husband will laugh. I will try doing it on wool to get the square. You have made it look so easy. All I get is a circle or a square that looks odd as my cotton must turn n I’m going back a different way. I’m not giving in, will watch more repeats of this on

@abigaelmacritchie1365 8 жыл бұрын

How do you connect the granny squares though? I was looking at joining them as I go but adding a whole round of trebles will increase their size dramatically, how do you keep them tiny and sweet? (I' making a doll blanket and having as much fun as an eight year old)

@potterandbloom 8 жыл бұрын

+Abigaël Poll I sewed these granny squares together because I only wanted them to have two rounds. If you want to keep them small and sweet then this would be the best way to do it, I used a simple whip stitch. Alternatively you could try to join as you go on the second round - I've never tried this and am not sure how it would look but I might try it out and see....make sure you show me your dolly blanket :) xxx

@itsannasimon3080 5 жыл бұрын

Abigaël MacRitchie she’s not doing treble stitches, she’ s doing double stitches. She is saying the wrong stitch. Doing a double stitch on both rounds will result in a tiny square.

@terrifrid3398 5 жыл бұрын

,@@itsannasimon3080 There's a difference between British and North American terminology. In the US or Canada we would call these double crochet. In the UK, they are called trebles

@terrifrid3398 5 жыл бұрын

After 2 years, I doubt you still need the information, LOL. For any other viewers with the same question, you can join as you go by using slip stitches when you chain between shells. Jayda in Stitches has a very good video showing how to do this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJebpdektbfYgmQ.html

why only chain one when you go to the next corner instead of sticking to two chains?

@potterandbloom 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Dx, the rule for granny squares is that you always chain 2 (or some people chain 3) in the corner space and you always chain 1 (or some people don't chain at all) along the edges :)))))) I typed this and realised that it may still be a bit confusing.....I think I might do another granny square video :) xx

UK terminology is different from US. What US calls a double, UK calls a triple/treble. You'll need to Google the correct meanings and equivalents if you are going to watch internationally or your projects will not turn out properly.
