FAQs??
-How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.
This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
-How much yarn do I need?
Unfortunately, I will not be able to answer individuals questions about how much yarn you would used do to multiple factors affecting it. Such as, your tension, the size of hook and the yarn being used.

I can't believe that I learned how to do this beautiful join! You are a wonderful teacher. I am so excited to be able to join all these pretty squares that I worked up over the last few months. Thank you very much!

@carolesaylor4986 6 лет назад

I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I was making a couch cover using Mile-a-Minute strips but that pattern called for a join that left a very distinct ridge which I didn't like. So I had all these strips and no way to connect them until I found your video. I used your instructions and connected the strips together and it is beautiful. It is flat which is exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much. You have a lot of great videos.

@mariamboghdady9905 6 лет назад

I would like to tell you that your the best person that i can learn from & understand your tutorials. Thank you .. but i was searching for a new joining squares method that I can't find a good video for it, nor in you lovely channel. It's called " Joining with slip stitch " i guess it's the same as normal joining method, but using a crochet hook & joining in the back loop on the edges of the squares , so it becomes very neat & invisible. I would ask you if you know this method, would you please create a tutorial to demonstrate it ? Thank you in advance dear :)

@gayatrichandru1592 3 года назад

@bellacococrochet 3 года назад

@peggywhite5638 4 года назад

This was SO helpful! I'm "reteaching" myself to crochet after years and years so made a bunch of granny squares to practice on. So many of the printed instructions aren't clear (or use the same color yard to join as the squares :( ), and too many of the videos aren't very clear. This one was great.

@sarachaney2580 3 года назад

This stitch is beautiful et thank you for explaining it very well. The only issue I had was I think a different color yarn for the joining stitch would've been easier to see. Watching white yarn on a white background was a little difficult but otherwise I love it. Thank you!

@bellacococrochet 3 года назад

You are very welcome and on more current videos i use a different colour background to make it easier to see :)

Bella could you help me please,I’ve just done the willow pattern squares you showed on your tutorial,I double crochet all around the squares as it showed,how can I do the flat braid as I haven’t got the edge you showed here,I’m ready to try the flat braid help🙏🏻🙏🏻

@bellacococrochet 4 года назад

You can still do the flat braid join - I would recommend starting off with the same border as I show in the tutorial. Just make your double crochet stitch, chain three and then skip three stitches before making a double crochet in the next stitch. You'll then be ready to start the flat braid join 😊

@MC1RPOSITIVESusieQ 4 года назад

Where can I get those needles., can’t see the brand ....????

@chikkime 6 лет назад

Hi, newbee here just starting to learn... I have a general question. I've been trying to find a technique to join squares together, but the size of my squares isn't always the same size as the one in the tutorial. After watching your video, I wonder if the "rule" to this is: add as many stiches for the "loops" + single crochet as there are stiches on the side of the square. I see you have worked with 3 double crochets and then a chain one in between, so that makes 4. Then you add 3 chains for the outer "loop" and one crochet to attach the chain. That makes 4. Is that the general rule to follow? So if my square is made of 5 stiches and a chain, I would need to chain 5, and then attach with a chain? And of course, increase the corners? I didn't see you make an increase of the corner in this video though, but maybe that is why your work curls a bit?

@ceciliaschleicher278 6 лет назад

The squares already have the extra stitches which are counted for. So, when joining no extra stitches are needed.

@nickybailey791 6 лет назад

Excellent, as usual! Does it work joining hexagons? I might have a go to see.

@mariareilly2894 2 года назад

Can you mix regular crochet stitches with Tunisian Crochet stitches. I have really taken to the Tunisian Crochet but i can't do the other stitches yet.

@bellacococrochet 2 года назад

As they are both made using different methods I'm not sure if you would be able to mix them as such, but it would certainly be possible to creates squares in Tunisian crochet, and in regular crochet, and join them into a blanket or afghan 😊

@lisjvv 3 года назад

Would it be possible to do only 2ch instead of 3ch? I don't have that much space between my clusters

@bellacococrochet 3 года назад

Yes absolutely; with the flat braid join you can both increase and decrease the number of chain spaces 😊

@pattiworthington2587 3 года назад

Can that flat braid be used to join the spiral granny squres? Coukd you do a tutorial ?

@bellacococrochet 3 года назад

Yes, although you might find it helpful to add a plain border of double crochets to the squares before you begin. You would then work around in exactly the same way as I show in the tutorial, just skipping two or three stitches at a time where you make your chain stitches. I will certainly add this to my list of possible future tutorials 😊
