THANK YOU for showing how to sew in the ends in the back loops! So much easier than knotting and/or weaving! You're the only one I've seen do this! Now I can really enjoy making these multi-colored grannies! So happy!

I love this way of making a classic granny square. No chaining between stitches except in the corners. Everything is double crochet so I don’t have to go from dc to hdc to dc, again. Much simpler. I’m making a Rosanne-like blanket.

Thank you so much for the learning lesson today. Your crochet is the neatest I ever saw. You are so right about the flipping with each row. It gives the stability to the project that I never got. I have only completed one baby blanket and it looks so so floppy compared to yours. Now you have given me reason to try another. Have you any tips about choosing your yarn texture and appropriate hook size. I have no time to experiment as I’m 95 y o……..Gratefully appreciated

I hold the yarn across my middle finger, that’s what I’ve been doing since young and have never come across a tutorial where they hold the yarn on their middle finger . I thought it affected your tension, although it never has with me. I’m so happy I came across your excellent tutorial.. I will be filling you tutorials from now on .. Thankyou so much ❤

Thank you so much for this informative video!!! I kinda got hints that after the ring was made, it was basically repeat of the first actual square so I kinda left you 🤣 I watched til the 3rd round to make sure but then I just went with it. I used bolder colors, bright yellow, orange, green, red and blue, and mind turned out beautiful!!!!! I'm not sure which I like better, this granny or the sunburst granny!!!

@nautikrallcrochet Жыл бұрын

Yep, it is 😅 -that’s kind of the beauty of granny squares, once started they’re very easy and can even be meditative. Just go on forever and ever. I flip flop between the granny, starbursts and sunbursts. They’re all beautiful in their own right ☺️ Happy crocheting!

@5877user 4 ай бұрын

Even if you don’t flip between rows and it may look like it curves to the right, wouldn’t it just straighten out once you use the project like a blanket or sweater or bag, etc?

Hi if not changing colors do you still need to flip the square over?

@nautikrallcrochet 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Nancy! Yes! Flipping the square is what maintains the perfect squared shape. If you don’t flip each round-as your square grows you’ll end up with slanting/twisting of the stitches.

@winningnumbers Жыл бұрын

so... at the very end, when finished, please tell me which is the right side please?

If you don’t flip the squares there is a definite right and wrong side - if you flip the squares they are reversible

Thank you so much for the tutorial! One question though, why do we start with 2 dc only, when we continue with 3 all around? After the first row, my square looks nothing like a square. :(

@nautikrallcrochet 2 жыл бұрын

You start with 2 dc because the starting Ch counts as the first dc (ch 2 + 2dc = 3dc total). It will not effect the round or the following round-I would go back and try again.

Just seen your pattern today for the first time and I like it. What I’m doing I am working with one color with simply soft yarn in pink to make my niece a baby blanket. I like how you chain 2 at the beginning , I don’t chain in between , and the 3dc ch2 3dc on the corner I only ch1. When I turn, I turn and slip stitch in the hole between the 3dc, then ch2, and resume all the way around and sl st to the top of the 1st dc. 🧶❤️👍awesome this is my new way of doing it thank you for sharing your pattern.
