Thank you for this video. I make a lot of Granny Afghans. I like this method the best. It looks so much nicer. I am 64 years old and have been making Granny Squares since I was 7 years old. I have tried different ways to sew them together. I like this one the best.
Thank you for once again making something so simple!! I'm using my granny squares like pixels in a big video game bla keto and I just wasn't happy with the "seam" stitch...this is so much better! And your video is just so fluid and easy to follow-as always. Thank you so much again💖🌻
I have my first blanket of squares to put together in a couple of weeks and really wasn't sure the best way to put them together, this is perfect..thank you!
Thank you, Sarah Jayne! This is the video I needed for the join on my granny square blanket. I have looked and looked, but your instruction is the best! Note from a retired teacher: You are a very good teacher. ox
This is a good idea just in case someone runs out of the color yarn that they're working with and they have to use something else to sew their project together.
Thank you so much for making your tutorials! Your’s are very good, so easy to follow & slow enough for me to follow. I’ll be using this join today for my Circle of Friends squares. Again, thank you so very much! You are awesome 👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing this video. I have been making afghans for a long time but never really knew how to sew the squares together. I used this technique on the afghan that I am working on and what a difference!!
Thank you for this video I definetly think this will help with my seams in clothing, I’m new to crochet and the seams haven’t been so great, they end up bunched up but I understand practise makes better❤
Very helpful tutorial. I am definitely not the best at joining squares, but this was a very clear instructional and will use it to join my next granny square blanket:)
Thank you for this video, I think it will help a lot with my seams in clothing, I’m new to crochet and with certain colours I can’t really see and end up going through it twice or the seam ends up bunching
This is a wonderful, clear tutorial. One question: once you're done with this direction and you go in the perpendicular direction to join the squares on the other sides, what do you do when you reach the joins that you've already made? Do you hop over? Do you go through? What's the move? Thanks! ❤🧶
Thank you! 😊 I like to sew in the ends to secure them - I have a tutorial that shows how to do that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gpD-ZhfZGao.html
Thank you, I’m glad you like it 😊 Once you’ve joined your squares you can sew your ends in - I have a tutorial that shows how to do that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6qXEcQj_0L0.html
I have a quick question…I’m not sewing granny squares I’m sewing chain squares and when I see them to make a sleeve for my project the squares bubble creating a non-flat sleeve… am I doing anything wrong and how can I prevent this
Have you blocked your squares before joining them? I would recommend doing so if not as this will help them lay flat; you can also block the sleeve once you've joined all of your squares together 😊
To finish off you just need to snip off the end of your yarn, leaving a long tail, and sew in the end. I have a tutorial showing how to sew in ends here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6qXEcQj_0L0.html 😊
You should sew the ends in to stop them coming undone. I have a tutorial to show you how to do that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6qXEcQj_0L0.html 😊
Sewing in the ends is where you use a darning needle to sew in the long tail ends of yarn left over when you finish your work - I have a tutorial showing how to do so here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6qXEcQj_0L0.html 😊
You should cut the ends and weave them in as you would normally. I have a tutorial showing how here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6qXEcQj_0L0.html 😊
It doesn't matter how many chains you have in the corners, as long as each square matches 🙂 You would just join through one chain stitch that is closest to the side you're joining together. Hope that makes sense!
This makes it look so quick and easy! But as soon as I go to join more squares, I'm totally stumped. What comes next if you're joining rows of squares?
You just need to carry on adding squares in exactly the same way; working row by row (so for your third row you will be joining to squares that are themselves already joined on the bottom) and then working along the columns last 😊
You should definitely sew in your ends, otherwise you risk all your hard work coming undone. I have a tutorial demonstrating how to do that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6qXEcQj_0L0.html 😊
