I've never seen a standing stitch before and I'm in love! I've always hated how the normal chain 3 stands out.

@maewebster9377 Год назад

yes I agree. That chain is such an eyesore. The standing stitches alleviate that.

@lshizuemoriyamacarll9578 11 месяцев назад

Thank you nice work.😊

I agree. This changes everything when chain three is in pattern.

I am 44 years old and just decided to learn how to crochet! My mom sent me your video because I was getting so frustrated with all the other videos I was watching. I don’t know what it is about you, your voice, your methods but it all CLICKED!!!! Thank you so much for this video, I’m so glad I came across your video! ❤❤❤❤

@deoviamorales244 7 дней назад

Toni! Thank you so much 🥹 every time I want your videos it makes me feel so happy to crochet. I have never felt like I could actually make anything other than pot holders until I started watching your videos. And even tonight when I had an idea to make a color changing granny square to have a piece of a project I’m parting with still with me, your video comes up with the perfect tutorial. Thank you :)

@haantheconqueror3127 8 месяцев назад

I just found this video by searching "crochet color change granny square" as I've only ever done granny squares in a solid color. I was immediately blessed with your bright energy! I love love love stumbling upon people like you who have a clear and definite passion to share with the world. Keep up the good work

@staceye3799 Год назад

Soooo grateful I found this! I literally can't count how many times in my life I have tried to make a garnny square to varying degrees of failure, but have FINALLY succeeded thanks to this! 😊

@beansarebest9795 8 месяцев назад

There are a few things in your wise words that changed my granny square game: 1. Tighter granny squares with less chains on the corners and sides. 2. Colour changing with a beautiful standing stitch which doesn't stand out like the normal chain 3. 3. Working over the tails - say goodbye to weaving and bloodshot eyes! Thank you for this video. You are an innovator and and inspiration to many.

@wendybarger4097 Год назад

After years of trying to learn a simple grannie square, i FINALLY clicked after watching you! You also taught me how to make a magic ring. YEAH Toni!

@silverkiss37 4 месяца назад

Omigoodness you are an amazing teacher and I think so far out of all the instructional videos I have watched, I love your style the best! I am a perfectionist at heart and always want my work to look crisp and clean. The lady I watched before you was showing how to put two squares together... Not only were the two squares different sizes 😮 but one looked twisted from the center. I was not interested in being taught by someone who isn't focused on good form so I clicked away and found you and I'm so glad I did! 💜💜💜

@atouchoftrouble 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! I've only made granny squares in one color so had no idea how to change colors. Didn't even realize I didn't know how till I started on my first temperature blanket & drew a mental blank 😅

@connieclark2865 Год назад

Thank you for this tutorial! Like the way you do your tails! I have been making granny square blankets for years and I have never turned my work after each round. I have never had a granny blanket turn out crooked!!

@kathyedmonds8266 Год назад

Like you, have never had a granny square 'vortex'.

@kayfulmer2774 Год назад

Me either. I don’t really like to turn my grannies, as I prefer a right side and a wrong side, as the stitches do look different.

@mariakristinahawl1640 Год назад

Though I have TRIED, I can't manage the vortex look! Lol

@connieclark2865 Год назад

@@kayfulmer2774 me too!

@itzims5248 Год назад

The vortex is a tension problem, usually tight tension.

@luckysuzful Год назад

I love this method for joining colors. It looks so much more secure. Thanks for the tip!

@marietamura4534 Год назад

Love the weaving of the ends as you go. Your new look is fabulous.

@adriennegrapes9453 4 месяца назад

I am in love with the standing stitch!!! I’m so glad I watched this before I started my project because I haven’t done granny squares in a long time and I remember not being impressed with those projects. This is gonna be great!

@russellpaschall3586 2 месяца назад

I have always loved your tutorials!! It's a big plus that you're such a lovely and kind hearted lady. Thank you so much for all you do!!

@laboricuabonita1385 Год назад

I have tried to do granny square blankets before and ended up with the vortex of doom and no matter how many retries could never figure out what was going on! Your video gave me the confidence to try again. I also love the tip about skipping the chaining between corners for a tighter look. I am going to try that! Thank you so much for your video!

@suestutzle2779 Год назад

Thank you Toni. I doesn't matter who we are or where we come from we all love you. That was a very helpful video. Granny squares have come a long way since I was first taught them. I really like your style.

@cmartin836 Год назад

What a beautiful granny square! And the colors are wonderful. I love all the tips you give and I have become better at this craft because of you. Thank you so much Toni!!

@jenoakborn Год назад

Thanks Toni for being your wonderful self. I'm a new crocheter, longtime knitter and your videos just rock.

@marujaperezgarcia-estan5249 Год назад

Amazing!! I’m in the middle of a cardigan with granny squares and this video is amazing. Just blew my mind. Thanks! 😘

@debbiehannah4817 Год назад

I love the standing starting stitch idea. Those granny squares are so pretty, such a nifty idea with those blessed tails! Thank you!

@bettycapps Год назад

I love that you doing the knot ‘first’ in the join. Ive been doing that join for a while now, it works out beautifully.

@kaitlynblaylock8744 10 месяцев назад

I am so glad I found your tutorial! The standing stitch is a game changer I also am so excited about being able to weave my ends in as I go! These two simple hacks will help me so much on my journey crocheting a granny square cardigan! Thank you!!!

@saraclasemann3427 Год назад

My jaw hit the floor with ease of the standing stitch! Why haven't I thought of this before?!?! Thank you for the hint as I love granny's as well

@patriciasmith5849 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. Changing colors on granny squares was a thorn in my side. The invisible join is great as well gives it a neater appearance.

@trixieknits Месяц назад

Just made three squares using your tips. Love so far!

@AmethystCraftworks Год назад

If only I could go back in time and use your fabulous tips on the huge granny square blanket I juuuust finished. At least I'll know for next time, because there's never enough granny square blankets.. ever. Thank you! The standing stitch especially, never would've thought of doing that.

@yourgothfriend Год назад

Yes! this is exactly how I do mine these days (sans the magic loop) and they always come out perfect. That polish is amazing on you, btw!

@jeanmaggiore3150 Год назад

And your invisible join is awesome. This tutorial is jam packed with great tips. Thank you so much.

@elizabethdelcampo3965 Год назад

I’ve always thought of the granny square design as a piece for “grannies” but you have completely changed my perception. I absolutely love the creativity, beauty, and functional tips you bring to this design. Thank you!!!

@joliekitty213 Год назад

The way that you explained everything was so clear and I love listening to your voice. ❤️ I saved this to find again the next time I work on a granny square. This would have saved me so much time with my granny square cardigan

@beverlyhess611 10 месяцев назад

What a fantastic “refresher” for Granny Squares! And I learned a new trick…the standing dc! Love that and will definitely use it! I’m ready to make all the squares again….it’s been years since I’ve done them!

@wheeltrish Год назад

I love traditional granny squares. I especially love to make big, ugly scrappy ones with mismatched yarns and all kinds of craziness. I just keep them for myself to throw over my couch and I just let the colors change wherever they will and I cheat and use a magic knot. I’ve got a giant Noro stash and I’m thinking of turning it into a wildly colorful granny square blanket. With that one I would pay more attention to changing colors in rounds and weaving in my ends nicely. I discovered the thing about flipping your granny square about a year ago and it is a game changer. I will never make one without flipping it, ever again.

@JessicaWilliams-uo6sm Год назад

All my granny square woes have been solved by this awesome tutorial! My joins always looked wonky and dealing with all the ends from color changes gave me a headache. But no more! And I LOVE the standing dc tip. Thanks for another great crochet video ❤

@messynessy5714 Год назад

Simple and efficient with good tips. I’m about to start my first granny square project, I’m glad I found this video!!

@hayleyhutchinson5430 Год назад

I just started a new granny square pattern and have never done them with color changes before. This is so clean and beautiful. You're a genius! Thank you for sharing!

@wandaxxxx7406 Год назад

Tony, you glide along so smoothly and make everything look so easy! I have never made a granny square yet but your method certainly is very square looking and not crooked like a lot of them I see. TFS

@jeancaldwell5391 Год назад

That’s so great. I’ve been scared of granny squares and you make it look so simple thanks!

@xlena60 Год назад

This granny square is perfect. Love this video. Thank you.🥰

@Slytherkins Год назад

Just bought a pattern for a granny style motif, and it was kind of doing my head in. This video pretty much saved my life. XD I'm not new to crochet, but there were SO many color changes and SO many tails and the dreaded vortex. You just helped me fix all of the above with one video. Your videos are always *the* most helpful. Your tips are FANTASTIC, your instructions are easy to understand and follow, and your voice is so pleasant to listen to. I just love your channel. Thank you so much for every upload. (Also, your top is really cute, I love the color.

@MarceBr. Год назад

You just saved me!!!! I'm starting a new huge granny square project and i was having such a horrible time with the ends trying to figure out how to secure them and i was ending up with a bunch of not so safe knots! ... thank you for share your knowledge, for your big smile, and the love I can see you out in every video!!!!

@Princesscaribou2 Год назад

Toni, you have restored my love for the granny square. Thank you not only for those great tips but that magic circle explanation took the mystery out of making it. It is as simple as you say and i could now get on with patterns that use it without intimidation and trepidation 😊👍❤️, you are the best!

@unbeweavableknits Год назад

This is THE BEST granny square video!! That starting DC and flip around is game changing! 😀

@azulagirl325 Год назад

Ok. You are a genius!! I love that technique of the standing double crochet when you join in the new color. I was getting odd lumps where I was joining colors and I think this method will work better. And also I love that you weave in the tails as you go, thank you for that tip!! I’m starting a blanket and I’m going to use these techniques for sure!! Thank you so much!!! ❤

Hi Toni, great tips. Thanks so much for this tutorial. It was well explained and helpful. Turning the work gives texture to the square in a beautiful way.

@kimberlywiley7727 Год назад

Cheers to you Toni. I have been crocheting for 40 years and once did a granny square blanket for a bed about 20 years ago but you have one of the best tutorials on making a granny square and I learned a lot of new techniques. I am hoping you will do a tutorial of constructing a granny square top. I have your book and am just loving it. A new knitter as well, I am enjoying using Tunisian crochet to work up some luscious summer tops with different cotton yarns. Congratulations on your success in getting close to 500K subscribers. I am huge fan of yours and look forward to learning more from you and seeing you soar.

@Knitsta Год назад

I can’t wait to give your techniques a try. I learned to crochet when I was a child some 50 years ago! I’ve learned so much from this video. My granny squares always looked wonky and homemade. Utilizing your finishing and turning methods should give me a more polished and professional look. I’m so glad I signed up for crochet academy, you’ve got me so inspired to crochet. Thank you 😊

omg, folding the yarn tail taut over the tapestry needle then sliding the needle out to make it easier to thread is completely genius! so much great info packed into one video!

@rhondaeaddy3740 Год назад

OMG!!!!! I knew you could make it all better! I love the "standing stitch" join because I've always felt the regular way I was taught looked so awkward and kind of out of place. Then I said to myself, "Let's see what Toni would do". YES!

I'm still a beginner to crochet, I just started last september. i've avoided granny squares so far because the color change intimidated me, but after watching this i really feel motivated to try!

@annettebrown829 Год назад

This was so awesome!!! I am currently working on a surprise baby blanket. I had a huge problem with the square shifting. Your video today helped me so much. I took apart what I had already created and I am starting over again. This time I have a valuable skill set in place to help me create a great project. Thanks a bunch

@SuzanneWho Год назад

You always have such good ideas and instructions! I’ve never had my granny squares twist but I will definitely try this new way. Also, I’ve noticed on some RU-vid channels that Europeans seem to use that hidden finish stitch. I’m going to follow your instructions to make a cleaner finishing join. Thanks for your clear and interesting videos. ❤️😎🐈‍⬛

@TLYarnCrafts Год назад

That finishing stitch is a gamechanger. Definitely a small step that helps to polish the whole experience :-) Glad you enjoyed it!

@NickUncommon Год назад

Researching for granny square ideas for our charity project, I came across your video. Subscribed immediately. This will elevate our blankets for wheelchair users in nursery homes a lot. I will take away not only the standing dc, but also the magic loop beginning, and how to work in the tails and save me some sewing in ends. This probably will improve productivity, too.
