O.m.g. I have been so stumped!! I made a granny square baby blanket 35 years ago using this join technique and forgot how it started. I can now FINALLY start joining my squares and not OCD on whether I like the way the stitch looks because IT IS STILL THE GRANNY SQUARE STITCH😂 thank you!!

@bhookedcrochet Месяц назад

Yes!!! That’s awesome! 🙌

I've made quite a few with this join as you go and it's held up over the years. I have one from the early 80's and it's still perfect through countless launderings.

So glad to stumble across this video while im here having my coffee. Im literally pulling out my needle and joing color skein for some square's ill be joining to put together a kitchen curtain. These squares have been sitting here for awhile now and I just haven't wanted to join them with the sew method. Well now i have a new way to join. Thank you!

@bhookedcrochet Месяц назад

A granny square curtain sounds beautiful!

I like your joining method & the white or very light colored yarn. But WOW! I really L❤OVE it done with the darker blue!!! Even more than the traditional black last-rnds-and-joinings 👵🏻

@ruthdaisy1036 Месяц назад

I used to avoid making blankets with small granny squares until I discovered this method. It really is so easy. I also had to fiddle around with my corners till I worked out the look I liked best and I also prefer to join diagonally. Great video.

I'm making several things (who isn't) and am craving the easy of grannies so I will be treating myself with a granny cardigan (as we are heading towards winter when knit wear can be worn, finally!) I think this join could work.

@debbymccauley4774 Месяц назад

I will have to try this method because I dislike having to put the granny squares together at the end. This is kinda like quilting as you go, asI am a Quilter as well. Thank you for sharing this technique 🧶

I have a crochet reference playlist here and this tutorial is DEFINITELY going into it! Excellent! One of my closest friends died unexpectedly a couple years ago. Her hubby is slowly going through her knitting, crocheting and yarn stash. He gave me 31 gorgeous granny squares (all different) she had crocheted. I was thrilled, but also dreading it because of the thought of sewing them together using a blind ladder or mattress stitch. Now I can crochet them together and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks.

@traceysimpson2019 12 дней назад

New subscriber here. I love this tutorial! It is easy to follow, and your instructions are clear. What I love about this method is there is no counting of stitches or worrying whether the stitch count on each square matches up.

@serenity6415 Месяц назад

I'm psyched to find your channel. I've been crocheting for 6 months so I still have tons to learn. My biggest problem is taking on complex patterns. I need to crawl before I walk. Too ambitious. I like your easygoing teaching style too. It does make sense - it's not tedious and boring like finishing can be. It still just feels like creating.

@bhookedcrochet Месяц назад

@staceystitches 10 дней назад

I typically join my granny squares with SC in each stick in the back loops only. I like that method because it’s very secure and I creates an interesting border around each square. But I can see where this method would be good for some projects. Like for a vest or cardigan this might look better than my method. I’ve never made either before.

@lorinicholson5837 Месяц назад

At first I just saved this and was gonna watch it later… which probably meant I wasn’t gonna watch it because honestly I have a lot of join as you go’s saved that always end up looking confusing 😅 I kinda got into pattern reading lately so it’s been a bit since I’ve watched one of your videos, but then it clicked in that you and one other RU-vidr were a life saver when I was teaching myself how to crochet so I watched it right away. So glad I did because… although it did look confusing… it also reminded me of why you were so helpful to me… the WAY you explain stuff doesn’t miss a beat. It is like you are having a conversation with us. You put your thoughts all the way through the teaching process. I just love hearing the good, the bad and the ugly of crocheting 😂💪 Your style will always make you a prized go to for me no matter how long I crochet! Keep us learning!!! This one I will try and probably try again and again til I get it right… but I’ll be having fun listening to you explain it 😁

Thank you!!! I have avoided making anything in granny squares since my last blanket start more than gosh about 20 plus years ago! If I do a granny stitch, pattern it has always been in a way I didn't have to join. I do believe after seeing this, I will give it another go! Thank you again ❤

@luckysuzful Месяц назад

This is really pretty! I love the look of it! I feel like it uses a lot more yarn though than a mattress stitch or another method of joining but it's so pretty it's probably worth the additional expense.

@bhookedcrochet Месяц назад

Since the join is also the last round of the square, it might not use as much extra yarn as you think!

@trixieknits Месяц назад

@Jemoda0015 Месяц назад

I love this join! Looks so doable lol. My question with your double crochet.. if you don't use a chain in between clusters, how is it laying flat and not buckling?

@bhookedcrochet Месяц назад

That's an interesting question! My best guess would be that the number of double crochets is the same so you're not technically losing a stitch by omitting the chain.

@BigButton31 2 дня назад

Hello! Thank you so much for this video. However, I’ve been struggling with this technique. I’ve tried it multiple times and it keeps ending up crooked/slanted. Do you know why that might be? Is it something that would be fixed with blocking? It seems too significant to be fixed with blocking…

@holliedavis4227 19 дней назад

Hey I'm working on my first granny square blanket. Mine is a sunburst granny square. The corners of my last sq are treble crochets, do I continue that as I join or so I use the method you are using??? I'm a newbie :)

@marikamaraczi9846 Месяц назад

Love this , just subscribed to your channel . Would you be so kind to share what are all the colours you used for these squares ? Thanks !

Thanks for sharing the colour combos, I really love these colours together . I intend on making these very soon😁.

@cackleberrycottage2340 Месяц назад

This is a very good tutorial for this method, however, I don't intend to ever use it because it seems to me that the squares are only being held together by a few slip stitches and I would worry about them eventually coming apart. Most of the ways I attach granny squares involves a stitch in every stitch of the granny squares making them very secure. Maybe it's just me, but every time I see someone doing this, I think it doesn't look that secure. Thoughts on that???

@bhookedcrochet Месяц назад

That’s an interesting thought! I’d love for others to chime in on this with their experience.

@cackleberrycottage2340 Месяц назад

@@bhookedcrochet I would like to hear others experience as well. I make blankets to be used and they get washed and dried a lot. I have been crocheting since 1970 and I know there are. a lot of new ways people are doing things, but I would worry about these coming apart or stretching out between the slip stitches. By the way, I loved your last video with the tote bag. I am going to make several of those for gifts. Don't know why I never thought of that before. Duh... Great job!

@ruthmaxwell60 Месяц назад

I’ve been using this method for years but going from top to bottom, not bottom to top as you do and never had a problem, or heard back from gifted blanket recipients. Hope this helps. 🌟

@g5874 Месяц назад

I made a join as you go granny once and felt that the blanket likely would not hold up well over time, especially with a toddler. Otherwise, great tutorial. I enjoy how you explain things.

@Larissa_aus 25 дней назад

I like the finished result of this join. It's pretty and a quite simple way to do it quickly, rather than sewing. I feel it would work well on a cotton top for summer that needs to be breezy, perhaps with more chains at corners? But as a possibly heavy use item, like a winter blanket, may need more secure method. Hope this helps. ❤

@carrieholley9272 Месяц назад

It looks crooked,,,or is it me? Does it straighten up as you finish? But I love this method and will have to try it. The colors are beautiful. Thanks for the video.

@bhookedcrochet Месяц назад

These bigger squares have a bit of granny leaning going on. I probably should have blocked some of this out first! So it’s not the join, but worth noting that the join doesn’t straighten the look of unblocked squares.

What is a "standing" stitch? Do any of your previous videos explain this?

I don’t have a recent video of this, but that’s a good reminder that I need to make one! A standing stitch is a special way to make a stitch without the need for the turning chain to keep it from scrunching up.

@kayceegreer4418 Месяц назад

To put it in very simple terms, to help most people see what's happening, it helps to use a medium to light color that makes good shadows. What I mean by that is that light to medium colors better not so bright or shiny as to put off a lot of light and shadows appear in the spaces between the strands. For example looking at your squares , the lighter blue color in the square, would be more helpful than the darker slate blue color you chose. Yellows and golds, as long as they are not too shiny... lavender, periwinkle, cornflower blue, light purple, pinkish purple, deeper pinks... peach and coral and salmon do well with most people's eyes and most lighting creaters use. It's the Shadows that are happening between the strands that helps people because of the delineations they make.
