Granny square patterns are so much fun and have to be one of the easiest patterns to use when you want to create a big blanket fast. I’ve been crocheting for 40 years and I turn to the Granny Square pattern often. You can’t go wrong. And changing colors really does make the blanket look like you’ve spent even more time on it than you have. 😊 Just always tie in those loose stands well so it doesn’t come undone the first time someone washes it. 😊 … NICE job on the tutorial by the way. Not everyone can understand patterns and tutorials are so helpful.

@AmandaCrochets 11 месяцев назад

I couldn’t agree more! There are so many colors you can put together to make a bunch of different, beautiful granny square blankets. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed 🧶

I've been watching different videos for this blanket to see if there's one in particular I want to do, and the amount of different ways people hold their yarn is insane! I think it's really cool that we're all doing the same thing but in different ways

Hi, I made this in a modified version, 4 large granny squares, each starting with a different color. My question is how do I weave in the “tails” of the different colors I used or do I just cut them off?

@AmandaCrochets Год назад

To weave in your ends, you will use a tapestry needle to go in between the stitches made. Keep like colors with like colors to hide them even more. I usually go back and forth in between the stitches 3 different times to make sure they're secure. Once you feel they're secure enough, you can cut the remaining tails. Hope that helps! :)

When you get to the end of the round and chain 2, make the slip stitch. Are making the slip stich into the v, front or back loop of the chain? Or does it matter?

I am making the slip stitch into the chain space of each round. I hope that helps!

@angeline8328 Год назад

If my yarn requires the 5.5 hook, is it best to stick with that gauge? Or is it ok to use the 5.25 or the 5.75? If so, which of the two is best?

@AmandaCrochets Год назад

You can stick with the recommended hook mentioned on the yarn label for this blanket. Otherwise a 5.25 hook would be just fine as well 😊

@Khedewia Год назад

I am making this blanket now. I am almost done and it is very large now. I made it Afghan size. I’ve been following the directions exactly until now. I went all the way around and never came to the beginning chain and so I kept going thinking I have to come to the beginning chain at some point. I probably went around two or three times before it occurred to me that I forgot to do the chain three! What do I do now? It looks alright, but how will I ever end it? Do I have to take it out? Is there any way to fix this?

@AmandaCrochets Год назад

I would try ending just before you get to a corner. Then I would slip stitch a few times to even things out. That should hopefully help a little.

@anyawade347 Год назад

Pls answer asap. Do we turn the work every round we finish or just wen we are starting the blanket bc I am confused if we turn until we finish the blanket?

My first time attempting a pattern like this, i can't see how you are crocheting the top of the chain 3. Are you just putting the hook into the loop since there's nothing underneath as you would with a regular stitch?

Hello! For the chain 3, I am working into the top loop of the chain 3. However, if it’s easier for you, you may go into that space in between the chain 3 and the double crochet stitches. Hope that helps!

I don’t know the exact amount, but I would probably double or triple the amount of yarn, if using the same yarn I’m using in the video. I’d guess anywhere from 2,000 to 2,500 yards. I could be way off as I’ve never made a blanket that big, but hopefully that would give you an estimate. 🧶

@AmandaCrochets 9 месяцев назад

To finish your blanket, you’ll want to make your last stitch, cut your yarn leaving a long tail, yarn over your hook and pull through. You’ve created a knot. Then you will weave your yarn tail in and out between the stitches (I go in 3 different directions) to really hide your tail. I hope that helps!

It could be because you’re using different yarn or hook size than I am. Or it could simply be your tension. You can always go down a hook size if needed.
