In this tutorial I show you how to crochet the traditional granny square using DMC no. 80 cotton and a 0.5mm hook and how to crochet the squares together to create a beautiful throw / Afghan for a dolls’ house bed. I also show you how to make cushions using the same pattern. These beautiful throws will add a splash of colour and a warm, cosy feel to any room in your dolls’ house and once you’ve had a go at making them, you’ll want to add them to all your miniature projects!
The DMC Special Dentelles cottons and crochet hooks can be purchased from: www.claireslace.co.uk

YOU CERTAINLY ARE AMAZING. I CANNOT MAKE A REGULAR SIZE GRANNY SQUARE LET ALONE A MINIATURE, CAN SEE WHY MINIATURE THINGS COST AS MUCH AS REGULAR SIZE THINGS.

I know how to do this, but I wanted to acknowledge the effort you put in your tutorial as well as in your lovely crochet. I rely on a bright light and no less than three pairs of reading glasses. Three, count ‘em three. I’m sure I look quite silly, but that’s the only way I can see my work.

Thank you Julie for making the squares in real time. It was so helpful. I’ve watched it several times over the past year and finally tried again after a failed attempt last year. It went so well this time. It may take me a while but as soon as I’m done I’ll post my finished throw and cushions on Facebook.😊

@JulieWarren 5 лет назад

I'm so glad you persevered Vivian. They are quite time-consuming, but the end result is worth it. I look forward to seeing your completed throw and cushions. :)

Thank you, Marleny. The crochet hook is a size 22, but I'm not sure about the thread...if you are able to find DMC Special Dentelles thread, I use no. 80.

@katphyre 4 года назад

Your attention to detail is what I love about your videos. I've crocheted and knitted for years but I never imagined a little afghan. And it's something I could include in my granddaughter's doll house because it can't be crushed or snapped into pieces. I may need a magnifying glass but I'm definitely giving this a try.

@JulieWarren 6 лет назад

Thank you so much.

@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws 3 года назад

I have been persevering at getting smaller and have managed to get to a 1mm hook with the embroidery floss I am using for practice. It's amazing the difference the hook size makes. I think I M just about at my limit now though as both my eyesight and manual dexterity seem to object if I try any smaller. Like you have said, there's no point if you're not enjoying crocheting so I have been trying with various stitches to fake the look of granny squares instead of obsessing on using smaller and smaller hooks. I really enjoy all your videos Julie and I think my dabbling in the doll house hobby has kept me sane in these stressful times. Thank you and I hope you and your family are keeping safe and well throughout this pandemic .

@annheil981 3 года назад

Do you know the dimensions of the .50 granny square? Just want to make sure mine are in line. I know the pillows are 1 1/4 inch, which they look a lot bigger than the granny squares. Any help would be appreciated. Annie

@JulieWarren 3 года назад

Hi Ann. Do have a look at my crochet vlog, where I talk all about square sizes and the hooks to use to make them in a particular size. As a quick answer though, these 4-round squares are about 20mm (3/4 inch) square.

@crowznest438 2 года назад

Wow, that's really something. Didn't even know there was a size 22 - smallest I've ever tried is a size 11. I'm feeling like a challenge. Thanks for the vids; you're very talented.

How many squares do you use on the crochet throw that's for the foot of the bed 27

@JulieWarren Год назад

Yes, for a double bed 9 x 3 works well, but there’s no definite rule, whatever you think looks good. 😄

@carrie4910 Год назад

Could you use the multi stranded embroidery thread for this? Or does it really only work with this type of cotton thread?

@JulieWarren Год назад

You could use embroidery thread. It’s a bit finer than the crochet thread, so you may need to use a smaller hook, say a 0.4mm (no.24).

Wonder if you'd be able to re-do this demo either under magnification, or while using full-sized hooks & yarn just in order to model the stitches themselves. Then a person could follow you, but while using the 1/12 hooks & yarn.

@janicebell1964 7 лет назад

I go to Joanns.com and they always have the threads. It's not even very expensive. They also have silk threads. I love to crochet in miniature. It adds a wonderful touch to a scene. I got the .60mm crochet hook (Clover brand) on amazon.com just go there and search for the items. I recommend getting the threads on joanns, though, because they have a great selection and there are often coupons. I hope this helps. Let me know if there's any more I can do to help you. I hope you get to try it :)

@MM-vj6ug 5 лет назад

Just amazed by you tiny work!! I really want to give this a go but my patience will not be as good as yours...I have been crocheting normal size for over 20 years and would love to be able to do this....did it take you long to be able to crochet this small or is it something you picked up straight away. Love your videos! And again just amazing work!!!

@JulieWarren 5 лет назад

If you can crochet in real size, that makes it so much easier! I started with a size 1.00mm hook and worked my way down to 0.5mm. It is tricky at first, but the end results are worth the perseverence. Do give it a go, I think you'll surprise yourself. :)

@joannecarroll5504 7 лет назад

Your description was clear as always, but it's been many years since I last crocheted & I'm a rather visual learner. Sadly, my eyes just couldn't see the small scale of your work on my laptop. However, I'm sure there'll be a vid somewhere in a larger scale to refresh my memory of crochet before I come back here & have another go. Hopefully not an American one tho, as they have different terms from where I learned in UK & Australia & I don't need to be more confused lol.

@JulieWarren 7 лет назад

Thank you Joanne. I was a bit concerned about the size, but hopefully others too will either already have a basic knowledge of crochet, or find a larger scale version that will help and then pop back! :)

@janicebell1964 7 лет назад

I have bad eyes, too, but I use a magnifier. Nowadays, they have these digital magnifiers on amazon.com for 40 bucks that can make it as big as you want, and you can watch on the computer what you're crocheting. It's magnificent. Highly recommend getting some kind of magnifier. You'll show off and people will wonder how you did it!

@JulieWarren 7 лет назад

Thank you for the information Janice, I hadn't heard of those. :)

@janicebell1964 7 лет назад

There are also the mag eyes, which is just a thing that you put on your head and can swing the magnifier bit down, and it doesn't affect if you have glasses or not. Let me know if I can help in any way.

@joannecarroll5504 5 лет назад

@@janicebell1964 sorry for the late response. The instructions are quite clear & my problem is not in seeing my work, but in seeing the teaching stitch on the screen to compare to my own, so I can follow the instructions. I have since re-watched the video via Chromecast on a large flat screen tv & once again, I can see hands, needle & cotton, but not the stitches that I need to emulate. I can't magnify what is not visible to the camera. Some other videos that teach crochet do it with much larger hooks & with thicker yarn than usual, purely for demonstration purposes, so the camera can pick it up & show it more clearly. I feel that may be a good idea for future mini crochet tutorials.
