This is a beginner friendly crochet tutorial on a Solid Granny Square using US terminology. I show how to make the square slowly step-by-step but you will already need to know how to make basic crochet stitches. I offer plenty of tips along the way and even show how to finish off with an invisible join and how to secure your yarn ends in.

Thank you so much for this video. I’m doing daisy squares and have completed 2. Using the method in the pattern the joining round area was very visible. I have 15 to make in total so will using your technique from now on. I just can’t understand why everyone doesn’t do your method. I’ve watched loads of videos, and never come across it before. ❤

I can't appreciate your video enough! The way you taught this just made this finally "click " for me! After MANY searches for multiple variations of the granny square, you're way was just made the most sense to me, even after a few years of knowing how to do simple crocheting, I'm finally opening up to more different types of stitches and creations always too worried about not understanding the crochet language, but now after your tutorial I feel confident about doing a little more advanced squares THANK YOU!!!

@rachelpark1389 3 месяца назад

Hello. This is a brilliiant video. Thank you. The only thing is that it really is perfect rythm at the beginning but it goes really fast quite quickly . I started and was happy to find I was making it but had to drop out.. If the second part was just as slow as the first it would be perfect . But that 's just for me as a beginner. 😀

Thank you so much for being so patient! This is my third crochet piece and it is so hard to find an RU-vid video like yours that really cares about repetition! Learning how to crochet has been an adventure and this learning process is repetition, repetition, repetition. And you get that! Thank you so much!

@kristiharman2843 5 месяцев назад

This is so helpful! To make a hexagon instead, would you just add a couple more sets of 2 double crochets and corners in the magic circle to begin with? I can't find anyone else who does corners like you do and I love that style

@meemamakes 4 месяца назад

I’m actually currently working on a tutorial for hexagons with these sort of ch, sc corners and it works well. I find that for hexagons you only need (dc, ch2, dc) corners instead of (2dc, ch2, 2dc).

Hi, I have 2 holes on my starting corner each time around. The 1 dingle crochet gives me thus but not sure why,??

@taylorwestbrook6471 17 дней назад

So can we keep on going to make a blanket like the regular granny square?

@leftieknitter7392 Месяц назад

The tip using a third dc into the corner rather than the first hidden stitch makes it so much easier as well as neater. Can a standing dc work in place of 3 chain with your method?❤

@meemamakes Месяц назад

Yes I don't see why not! I did use to do standing stitches but they slow me down once I'm crocheting at speed.

Are you using 100 % cotton or acrylic yarn for the project thanks

@meemamakes 7 месяцев назад

It’s acrylic but it depends on what I’m making

@sarabostan3221 Год назад

Can i attach this stitch just on the corners of another pattern for a granny square?

@meemamakes Год назад

Yes you can! It’s one of the techniques I used to adjust the size of my sampler squares here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zB3uFthfpPs.html

Is it an issue on your end? I can see the description on my end. I’ll have a look from another account too.

@maewebster9377 Год назад

@@meemamakes Thank you for the reply. I think that it may be on my end. I am making traditional granny squares at this moment and watching your solid tutorial. I have this “ house rule”; I cannot start a new project until 3/4 done with an old but I want to try this version and use a lacy border? Thanks for a great lesson

OKAY, ILY FOR MAKING THIS TUTORIAL BUT WHY IS MY CORNER SPACE MISSING 😭😭😭

@meemamakes 4 месяца назад

I find that if you’re struggling to find them, pop a stitch marker into each corner sp as you crochet them, then you’ll never lose it again 😊

@eeeeee4416 4 месяца назад

tysm for the tip! also i realized i wasnt dc into the corner space, but the chains making the corner space 😬😬😬 will do the tip though ❤

Tension. Loosen up your tension. Sometimes it better if it’s loose than tight

You might be a very tight chainer - try makin 5 or 6 chains to make the circle instead
