That’s fantastic to hear! 🎉 I’m so glad this tutorial was the one that clicked for you and helped you create your first granny square! If you have any questions or want to try more projects, just let me know. Happy crocheting! 😊🧶❤️
Great tutorial, thank you. A lot of the other instructions for turning a circle into a square use DC in the corner and they don't turn out so square. You use the treble crochet in the corner, with 4 sc and that makes this a real square. After doing the square I was so much happier with the result - a real square and not a wonky one. Thank you so much, great clear tutorials with stitch counts and clear instructions.
Thank you so much for your kind words!🥰 I'm thrilled to hear that you found the tutorial helpful and that using treble crochet in the corners helped you achieve a truly square shape. Providing clear instructions with stitch counts is important to ensure everyone can follow along successfully. If you ever have any more questions or need further assistance with your crochet projects, don't hesitate to reach out. Happy crocheting!❤
This has saved me a lot of strife! I’m doing my first crochet project & it involves making a lot of granny squares that look like eyeballs (extremely similar to this pattern, but with more colour changes). Reading the pattern was confusing me big time as a beginner, so this was perfect!
I’m so glad to hear this helped make your project easier! 😊 It sounds like a fun and colorful project with those “eyeball” squares. If you run into any more questions or need further guidance, just let me know. Happy crocheting, and best of luck with your project! 🧶✨
Great count! But I didn’t see the need to cut the first Cole and then start the second color by tieing it off. Instead, just joining the new color in the last stitch of the first color then continuing with the new color worked nicely 👍🏾
You're so welcome! 🥰 I'm delighted to hear that the instructions were clear and that you enjoyed making your second granny square. It's wonderful to hear about your progress and enthusiasm for crochet! If you ever have any questions or need assistance with future projects, don't hesitate to ask. Keep up the fantastic work, and happy crocheting! 🌟🧶

Hey!! 👋🏻 I saw you reply every comment..❤❤ I am the ultra pro beginner Even I had not started crochet yet just seeing others doing it The very first time I came to know about the exact method of granny sqaure New subscriber ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There was a question as you reply every comment so reply me also... As you have done the very last step...after the granny square...with the remaining yarn... What is that step ?? Why is it for?? What if the remaining yarn that we inserted at the back came out after some time😵😵 This step is done by every one after every project Pls reply mee....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Of course! I’m happy to help! 😊 After finishing the granny square, it’s important to weave in the remaining yarn ends to secure them. This prevents them from coming undone over time and keeps your project looking neat. You can use a yarn needle to thread the ends back through the stitches. If you don’t secure them, they might pop out, which isn’t ideal! I hope that clears it up! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! ❤️❤️❤️

@AdoreCreaCrochet thank you so much you have helped a lot love your clear instructions I can't read patterns so the tutorials are amazing. Greetings from Ireland ☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🥰🥰
Mee too this pattern is gonna be handy! However my yarn i bought is not as thick possible half diameter so i’m just trying to think how to change it to make it less gappy??
Update. Doing the HDC makes it less gappy for sure sake amount of stitches too. However this gives me a smaller circle. So now trying to figure out how to do another round of the circle to make it bigger
Hi! I was curious how I’d go about making a smaller version of this? As in making the circle two rows, and starting the border from there. Or if that is even possible! I’m trying my best to figure it out, but if you have any advice I’d truly appreciate it!! Thanks so much for a lovely tutorial. ❤️
Hi! Yes, it’s definitely possible to make a smaller version of the circle-in-a-square granny square. Here’s how you can adapt it: Begin with a magic ring and work 2 rounds of the circle. For each round, you can increase the number of double crochets to maintain a flat circle. Once you’ve completed the circle to your desired size, you can start the square border. In the first round of the square, work the corners as usual by placing 3 double crochets in each corner space and 1 double crochet in the stitches between corners. You can adjust the number of double crochets along the sides of the square to fit your smaller circle. If you find the square isn't fitting the circle perfectly, you can decrease the number of stitches between corners as needed to align with the circle. Feel free to experiment with the stitch counts and number of rounds to get the exact size you want. I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial, and I hope this helps with your project! ❤️🌟🧶
Love this! Thank you so much, am learning from scratch through your video and have made two circles so far and will start the square section soon. What's the best type of wool or yarn for this? And the best hook? My yarn seems to have a lot of fluff on it and I occasionally get my hook snagged or through the wrong section because of it. Please let me know if you have any tips!
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the tutorial and making progress on your project! When it comes to choosing yarn and hooks, it often comes down to personal preference, but here are some general tips: Yarn Type: For granny squares or any crochet project, it's often best to use a smooth yarn that won't catch on your hook. Acrylic yarn is a popular choice for beginners because it's affordable, widely available, and comes in a variety of colors. Cotton yarn can also be a good option, especially if you prefer natural fibers or are making items that need to be durable and washable. Yarn Weight: The weight of the yarn (e.g., fingering, worsted, bulky) will affect the size and drape of your finished project. For granny squares, you'll typically want to use a medium weight yarn (also known as worsted weight or aran weight). Hook Size: The hook size you choose will depend on the weight of your yarn and your personal tension. For medium weight yarn, a commonly used hook size is around 5.5mm (US I-9). However, you may need to adjust the hook size to achieve the desired gauge and fabric density. Smoothness of Yarn: If you're encountering issues with fluff or snagging, try using a smoother yarn. Some yarns have a tendency to shed or fuzz more than others, so opting for a smoother yarn might help alleviate these issues. Hook Quality: Ensure that your crochet hook is smooth and free of any burrs or rough spots that could catch on the yarn. Investing in a high-quality crochet hook made of smooth material like aluminum or stainless steel can make a big difference in your crocheting experience. Experimenting with different yarns and hook sizes can help you find what works best for you and your projects. Don't hesitate to try out different combinations until you find the perfect match!

To prevent your square from turning into a bowl shape, make sure to follow the pattern's stitch counts closely and keep your tension consistent. If you want, you can share which round it happens on, and I can help troubleshoot further. You've got this! 🧶✨
Yes, you can use the pattern for a circle in a square granny square as a basis for creating larger circles within squares. Here’s how you can approach it: Scale Up the Circle Size: Adjust the starting circle diameter to be larger if you want a bigger circle within your square. This might mean starting with more rounds of increases before transitioning to the square part of the pattern. Maintain Proportions: Ensure that the number of stitches and increases you use for the circle are consistent with the size of the square you want to create. You might need more rounds of increases for a larger circle to ensure it fits within the square. Transition to Square: Follow the pattern as usual for transitioning from the circle to the square. This usually involves crocheting corners and sides around the circle to form a square shape. Adjust Stitch Count: Depending on how much larger you make the circle, you might need to adjust the stitch count for the square part to keep the edges straight and the square shape even. Experiment and Test: It’s a good idea to experiment with different circle sizes and square patterns to find the look you prefer. Crocheting a few test squares with different circle sizes can help you determine the best approach for your project. By following these steps and adjusting the pattern as needed, you can create beautiful granny squares with larger circles inside. Have fun experimenting and happy crocheting! 🌼🧶
How different would the corners be if I were to turn an oval into a granny rectangle rather than a circle into a square? Do you have any recommendations?
I'm very sorry, but unfortunately my skills don't go that far.🙂 Maybe you can find another tutorial here on RU-vid that can show something similar to what you describe. Best of luck with your project🥰
Somehow all my rounds are curling... They look like small bowls. I counted all my stitches and already used a bigger needle than advised for the yarn (yarn said 3 mm, I use 3.5). Does anyone has an idea what could be the problem? Help would be very much appreciated!!
It sounds like your project might be experiencing curling due to your stitch tension. Here are some tips to help prevent curling: Looser Tension: Try crocheting with a looser tension. Tight tension can cause the fabric to curl up. Pay attention to how tightly you're pulling the yarn while crocheting. Block Your Work: Once you've completed your project, blocking can help relax the stitches and flatten out the fabric. Wet blocking or steam blocking are common methods used to reshape and flatten crochet projects. Try a Different Yarn: Some yarns are more prone to curling than others. Experiment with different types of yarn to see if you can find one that lays flatter for your project. Edging: Adding an edging around your project can help weigh it down and reduce curling. You can try adding a round of single crochet or a decorative border to help stabilize the edges. By adjusting your tension, trying different stitches or yarns, and considering blocking techniques, you should be able to minimize or eliminate the curling in your project.

That's quite a unique twist! Sometimes, unexpected outcomes lead to creative new designs. If you'd like, I can help troubleshoot what might have caused the pentagon shape so you can adjust for next time. Otherwise, embrace the uniqueness of your creation and have fun with it!
