#crochettutorial #miniskeinproject
Please note that I am UK based and therefore use UK crochet terminology: a UK treble crochet is equivalent to a US double crochet.
This is a tutorial for mini solid granny squares including how to join them as you go (so no sewing together!). Perfect for using up mini skeins, scraps and yarn leftovers. I am using various 4ply hand dyed yarn leftovers and a 3.5mm hook.
Happy crocheting!

I have crocheted for years and have never tried this joining technique. Thank you for taking the time to create such an easy to follow tutorial. I am going to use this to make my little granddaughter (2yo) an afghan for her little baby doll.🥰

A friend here in USA 🇺🇸 send me this and I love this idea. I’m indeed more inclined to attach it so it won’t show that swirling side but that’s my ocd brain 😅But I truly love this idea of the very small granny square for a baby blanket!

I am an avid sock knitter (and crochet blanket maker) and I have a HUGE sock-yarn-leftover-stash. I've tried mitred squares to use it up but it just doesn't sit with me, I cant get into any kind of rhythm with it so I've just been hoarding my scraps. NOT ONCE have I thought about crocheting with it! DUH!! Talk about a face-palm moment. My scraps are mostly dark colours but who cares, it'll keep us cosy on the sofa. I seem to handle UK and US crochet terms quite well, my brain just switches into US-mode or UK-mode as appropriate but it is nice to hear the UK terms for sure. Thanks for the inspiration, I am also "hooked" ;-)

@emmacmakes 4 месяца назад

Thank you! I’ve also tried knitting a mitred square blanket and couldn’t get into the rhythm of it either, which is a shame as I’ve seen some that look lovely! ☺️

@user-yl7uq6br4c 17 дней назад

@shelleyt3048 4 месяца назад

This is so clear, thank you. I rarely do granny squares because I detest sewing them together. This is inspiring! I have a lot of knitting worsted leftovers that I will now be crocheting into a join-as-you-go granny square blanket to keep in the car. Brilliant.

@joseanker2059 4 месяца назад

@urshurakdieohnekanal9291 4 месяца назад

Blossom crochet also uses UK terminology. It's very often the Americans who only refer to their own, most British content creators refer to both.

@rosertaylor6139 4 месяца назад

Thank you@@urshurakdieohnekanal9291 I will take a look. I have been knitting & crocheting for 64 + yrs but I like to view these for ideas & fun, but get tired of having to translate in my mind treble for double crochet etc.

@dianekawagoe2330 6 месяцев назад

Although I know how to do only the basics in crochet and am really an avid knitter, I was really interested in your tutorial for the tiny granny square blanket! I have quite a few leftover bits of sock yarn and have been thinking of the best way to utilize every scrap. A granny square blanket has crossed my mind more than once, but when I saw the mini-granny squares that are joined as you go, I was “hooked!” (Yes, pun very much intended!). Thanks for the tutorial. 🤗

@emmacmakes 6 месяцев назад

You’re welcome! Love the pun 😄🥰

@shannonrossi8076 6 месяцев назад

Thank you, Emma. Very nice tutorial. I love how your project looks. I know this will sound crazy, but sometimes I forget that the easiest way to use up your leftovers is in projects like this. Take care and I look forward to seeing other crochet projects from your channel. 🌼

@emmacmakes I love your name! Emma has always been my favorite girls name, somuchso I named my first Emma Grace Abigail (tradition in our family to have two middle names). I LOVE your tutorials. You're one of my top two on my "subscribed to" list of, literally, hundreds of crocheters...lol. I still have a hard time with RU-vid referring to crocheting as knitting, or do I have that backwards and they say knitting as crocheting? 🤔 Hmmm... either way, crocheting and knitting are two very different crafts (to me, anyway).

@janetstanley3645 Месяц назад

I’m in the U.S. but I always thought the UK crochet terminology makes more sense 😂. That said it’s easy to convert from one to the other.

@bookhuggah 2 месяца назад

A friend has done this with knit mitered squares with sock yarn for her daughters for when they eventually fly away to college or whatever. Each year she has edged the prior year’s progress with a few rows of a solid color yarn that is rather dark and an easy to acquire color for matching over time. She has made them to be quite large now and they look great, like yours which reminded me of them. Her name is She Must Knit on here.

I actually think I will be using it to add my neutral coloured squares to my pre-made colourful squares in my Battenberg Blanket. Will have to join on all sides but worth the fiddling as this is the nicest joining technique in my opinion. So thank you! ☺
