My mom tried to teach me how to crochet when I was a little girl. I mastered the single stitch, but never understood how to make a granny square. She passed away 10 years ago and I thought the tradition of baby blankets and afghans went with her. I stumbled on your video and you now have me cranking out granny squares and I can't stop! My mom would be so proud. Thank you so much. I look forward to continuing to learn other stitches from you. My mom's hobby feels like my own. 💕

Hi! That is so sweet. I believe your mom would be delighted 💗 Thank you for watching 😊

Same thing with me! Are used to watch my grandma whip out Afghan after afghan and I always wanted to learn but never took the time to ask anyone. She died about five years ago and I wanted to learn how to crochet so that I could feel more connected to her and I learned everything from this channel! Jayda is the best teacher!

Just had to comment and say that you are by far one of the best teachers of crochet I've ever seen on RU-vid 🥰💕 As a beginner, I really appreciate you going slow enough to give those of us who are learning a chance to follow along without feeling rushed. I've watched COUNTLESS videos and almost always end up pausing or adjusting the playback speed a million times, but not with yours 🙃 Thanks so much! Subscribed!

My grandmother was always very skilled at crochet and knitting and while she taught me to knit I never could get a hang of crochet. She passed away last week and is as determined to learn. Thanks to you I just made my first granny square! Thank you again. I know my grandma would be so proud.

I am so happy I found this video after trying four others. I just couldn't figure out which holes to go through and thought I was doing something wrong because my initial crochet looked circular. You even explained this. The slow and steady pace and the fact that the entire video covered the whole granny square really helped for someone who is self-learning from youtube videos like myself. Kudos to what sounded like your very patient husband who was awesome enough to record the whole process for you and did a fantastic job zooming the camera in when he needed to.

I just started trying to crochet tonight and I looked about about 5 tutorials before getting to yours and I have to say yours is the only one I found actually helpful. Every one else goes so fast and I thank you so much for being overly repetitive because IT IS NEEDED!!!! I have spent hours crocheting and pausing, crochet and pause and Ive finally got the hang of it. Added this page to my favourites and liking it for easy return. You are a great teacher and I feel so proud of myself for being able to make a square and hopefully continue it on to make my first blanket. Much much MUCH appreciation, it wouldn't have been possible without this video.

Ty so much. I learned so much. Cant wait to get some yarn & start my squares. God Bless.

Hi Jayda; I know that you have a lot of followers ie: friends but I want you to know that with ALL the video's that are on line to pick from, I didn't nor could I find comfort from anyone to teach me. Not to drag this out and bore you to sleep but my husband of 28 years died suddenly from a brain aneurysm on October 1, 2012. from that day forth I was unable to pick up a hook for the life of me, I had crocheted daily and like many you know made weddings gifts, baby shower gifts etc etc but that came to a grinding halt. Until I stumbled on your video. THANK YOU for allowing me to return to what I loved and cherished. The very first night I went to bed and I kept saying over & over I could hear you say " when you go to bed you will be saying " Chain Chain Chain..." And so it began. Know your kindness, gentle way of explaining and not treating many like second hand people. AGAIN gentle hugs to you and thanks for returning a craft which brought smiles to many especially myself since the death of my spouse. Your Hooker Friend for life; Colleen J. Schanz

@JaydaInStitches 9 лет назад

Colleen Schanz Thank you so much for your kind words, Colleen :) I'm very sorry to hear about your husband's passing, such an awful shock, it's no wonder your interest in crafts went quiet for awhile. I have heard so many beautiful stories from people about how crafting has helped them to find themselves again, to bring them some peace and contentment, and it comes from a sweet place. I'm so happy to think that crochet has brought the smile back to your face, and I'm delighted to think that I could be part of that in some small way :) Welcome back to the beautiful craft and welcome to the family!

This is the best site to learn granny squares. Every other sites I've been to says to do 3 sets of D.C In each corner. I found it to be very crowded and klutzy. Other sites say to go right to the center hole without doing a chain st. It's a big jump! I like your method best. I am, however, having a horrible time getting the right tension. I've watched a couple of sites recommending to hold the yarn in various position. I've tried them all and haven't been able to get the hang of it. Once in a while my stitch looks great with no gaps. I have no idea what I did! I have spent many, many all day marathons trying to get the right tension. Following your instructions my square came out very decent. I love the way it looks, despite that some of my stitches were kind of loose. I hope I can master the tension soon. I haven't really been able to enjoy working on my squares yet. Anybody have any good ideas for getting the right tension?

@JaydaInStitches Год назад

hi Roberta! It's just practice...and believe it or not, ignoring the tension. If you focus on the stitches, on the pattern, on turning corners and counting shells etc. but ignore what your yarn-feeding hand is doing, it will literally figure out the best way to hold and feed your yarn on it's own! I know that sounds crazy, but with repeated action, our bodies figure out ways to do things more efficiently, and tendons and muscles adjust to new requirements. It's amazing! It just takes a little time and trust that it will work out...it always does 💗

@hr8954 5 месяцев назад

I LOVED how carefully you described everything and how slowly you went so we didn't feel stupid or were rushing to try to catch up.

I could only recall chain stitching and couldn't figure out the corners to save my life. My entire family will be grateful for your wonderful tutorial.

Ever since I watched this video I have been making granny squares every day! I only learned how to crochet about two weeks before this but you make it very easy and fun, so thank you so much! Eventually I'm going to have to learn how to join them together but for now I'm content making them in tons of color patterns :)

@JaydaInStitches 10 лет назад

That just makes me feel SO good! Thank you! When I first learned, I literally made piles of them :) Putting them together is very easy (and you can do it however you want, there are NO rules) and I will do a quick video very soon about my favorite methods for assembling granny-ghans...I think maybe the Chibis might make another appearance too... *giggles*

Thank you Jayda for your instructions. The last time I tried to do a granny square was when I was working a few years ago before 2012 when the place closed up. My boss there showed a few of us at lunch time how to crochet. Have not tried since until now. The way you show it is really good, after I got going I thought back then & could not believe how it came back to me. Certainly not right now but later down I would love to do some little toys or dolls, I"ve seen a lot of cute ones out there, Thank you again! Janet

Yours was the third and best online tutorial I tried when teaching myself how to crochet. My first granny square took a whole day with me pausing your tutorial continuously but, 2 days later, I can knock out 3 granny squares per session (a good film on TV) and I still find myself talking your instructions through in my head. Exactly what was needed so many, many thanks for taking the time! xxx

For years I had watched people crochet and wished I could. Some people tried to teach me to no avail. I was so frustrated. My friend suggested I look on RU-vid and I found your video. I totally enjoyed the instruction, and within three days was well into my first granny square blanket. I can now take granny squares off my bucket list. You have such a great way of teaching. Thanks so much Jayda! You are Great! "Keep on Crocheting" and "Crochet Away!!!"

Excellent teaching thank you 🙏 so much

Thank you so much for explaining slowly and clearly. I'm an absolute beginner and other tutorials ramble on and crochet so quickly it's intimidating and disheartening. I couldn't ever understand what a double crochet is for example but now it's crystal clear.

I think there are two kinds of crocheters (if that's a word!) - the ones that are really good at it, and the ones that are really good at it and even more at teaching it. I have watched dozens of granny square videos but every time I ended up undoing it because it simply didn't look right. Yours is the only tutorial that really explains the concept. Thank you so much for all the effort and spreading the love!

@JaydaInStitches 10 лет назад

Hi PaperCranes! You are so welcome! If you're going to start collecting yarn, might I also suggest hitting up your local second hand stores because I find people are always donating "unwanted" yarn, hooks and notions (like buttons, thread, sewing kits etc). I've made some wicked finds thrifting yarn (garage sales too, now that I think of it) including beautiful vintage yarns, which are perfect for highlighting in a granny square :) Happy Crafting!!

Have watched so many videos over the years and everyone just shows you a little and then fast forwards the rest of the class. You are so very patient and go so slow. Iam go to try making a granny square. Thank you for your patience especially if a person is a senior🙏
