The Granny Log Cabin Blanket Crochet Tutorial! 

I know this video is incredibly old, but it has been an absolute life saver for me. thank you so much for this, it's given me my inspiration back, and something to do with all my yarn!! not to mention, your voice is so calm and soothing and i love your little giggles. you're awesome. keep rockin' and rollin', man!

Hi Fiber Spider, I was in a granny mood. I’ve been eyeing this tutorial for a few years. You did a great job of explaining this and I’m really enjoying the project. Note: I want to thank you for your kindness to us subscribers. You are sweet and respectful. I’ve been finding quite a bit of negativity to us, subscribers, especially on other RU-vid channels on their live podcasts. Thank you for doing “Happy Mail” instead. It shows how much you appreciate us, subscribers.

Stumbled upon this video quite by chance. Enjoyed it a lot. I especially love the fact that you don't edit out your dropped stitches. For a beginner like me, that increases my confidence.

I"m on furlough from my job right now. I am so going to BINGE WATCH your tutorials!!! Gimme yarn, coffee, and this channel

“Aha! I gotcha!” I just love your tutorials, not just for the amazing projects and great instruction, but for your fun personality:)

Loved it! I am a beginner and I appreciate you didn’t take for granted that we all already know. New subscriber! Thanks!!

Yay thank you Craig! I have been waiting for this! BTW, I have make so many of your shawls and I am pleased to tell you that I just donated a bunch of them to the chemotherapy ward at my local hospital. The women were ecstatic and loved them so, thank you for your tutorials.

Wow! I’ve just found your tutorials, they’re brilliant. Love the way you make it fun and easy to follow. Very relaxing voice too. Thank you from over the pond. I’m hooked.xx

The granny stitch is becoming my absolute favorite too. I am making a blanket for my Mom for Christmas. Off white, dusty rose and grass green.

I love your work and have learned alot from you . You are very slow which gives us time to learn new stiches . I have learn 6 new stitches since I I have found you thank you so much . Looking forward to learning more . Up till you all I could do was the basic granny square

I absolutely love the way you do tutorials. So so happy! I understand everything😊

Awesome, again! I am so glad you did this in a blanket. I'm excited to start my own. I still trying to complete another one you did. And now making plans for this one next. Thank you really are appreciated.

Thank you so much spider! I was one of the ones that requested this and I’m so grateful you took the time to show me! Love your tutorials! ♥️

I think this is an awesome pattern. I love crocheting along with you. I really like to hear you talk makes it seem as if you're here crocheting with me. Such fun ☺☺ tfs

What a lovely, friendly man. I love to crochet along with you. You explain everything in great detail and that way there's no guess work. Thank you Linda in th UK

The blanket at the end is beautiful!! It’s so funny as you’re moving back for a better look I’m responding, “that’s gorgeous!” You’re saying, “yeah, yeah, yeah!” As if you were talking to me😂

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've always loved the log cabin quilt design but I don't quilt. With this tutorial, you've given me the opportunity to make the log cabin. And yes, like you, I love the granny!

You always amaze me with the way you can come up with these beautiful patterns. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials.

I love this blanket! I’m going to make one for my daughters. You’ve really inspired me!

I just want to say thank you for being so clear and easy to follow. With how you teach, I not only remember but enjoy the learning because you are such a friendly and wonderful person! Ever since I found you I've learned how to do so much and it's easy to learn with your instructions

Just found this and am so impressed on the application of crocheting to work a log cabin! Great Job and I cant wait to try it!

I only recently started crocheting (about two or three months ago), and just came across your videos about ten days ago. I'm so grateful for that as you are a creative, and wonderful teacher! I'm doing this pattern with Red Heart With Love Metallics (white with iridescent sparkle for the center color, followed by Caron Simply Soft in Victorian Rose, and then Red Heart With Love Metallics black with silver sparkles. The look is dramatic and stunning. I'm looking forward to seeing it get larger and larger!

I really enjoy your tutorials, because you always go way beyond the call of duty. GOOD JOB!!!

Oh I just love this ! You have the best patterns! ❤

Thank you so much for your tutorial! I love how creative you get with your projects, and then on top of that you get so excited about it. Your bubbly attitude and comfortable voice makes me feel like I’m having a crochet day with my sister or friend. Thank you for helping me improve and expand my crochet repertoire!

Love this! Thank you for another great project. Your tutorials are so clear. Got this started and I’m zipping right along!! 🤗🤗🤗

Your tutorials are the best. Everything explained properly and you are never in a rush. Thanks Fiber Spider for your inspiration and your gorgeous designs !

Amazing ideas. Often you remind me of Mr. Rogers. Your kind, gentle ways. Your desire to teach. I do find you to be a blessing. Ty.

I love this pattern better then any other log cabin pattern I've seen

Love this! It combines two of my favorite things, granny AND log cabin!!

Beautiful colors! You are a very kind and gentle teacher. Thank you for all your videos!

Made this for a dear friend awhile back. Such a fun and amazing pattern. Love all of your videos!!

I feel very happy to find you, waiting to get my yarn colors to start this beautiful blanket. I love how you explain, thanks, thanks.

I love how you explain for beginners. I just learned how to crochet during the pandemic and have made a few things already. I just made a shawl for the first following your instructions

Thank you so much. U really took your time. I appreciate that. Some of the other people who try to show you and show you and then they go fast. Thank you for taking your time this really helps.

Another winner! Love love love it! You’ve given me some great ideas for some yarn I’ve been saving for just the right project.

I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ this!!! I’m going to make it as soon as I’m done with my granny circle! Thank you! 😊

Consider yourself hugged again!!!! You ROCK! I started and almost finished the shawl and was thinking of asking you to make a Log Cabin pattern up for us. (I adore the shawl and how it is working up.) Thank you so much for this new pattern. Now if only my fingers could work faster so I can play with all of your patterns at once. I think I will make this as a stash buster.

Love this video .I have made one of these throws using all chocolate colours and I am so pleased with it. I have just started the kaleidoscope throw and really enjoying making that.

Huge fan also of the Granny. :) Love how you teach. I have been crocheting for over 50 years and still love learning new things. Thank you. Stay safe and healthy.

Beautiful, love the 4 color combination. Thanks a bunch 4 yr time, tutorial, talent. Just beautiful work. Need to try this soon. Blessings & continue success. 💜😘

Thank you! When I saw this one I wanted to try it. I've been stuck in a rut so I'm so happy you did this one. Thank you for all the work you do!

In this moment I feel so much happiness and peace in my life that I have never felt before! I began crocheting this year, maybe 6 months ago. I’d dabbled here and there with school (making some sort of latch hook carpets with yarn, sack cloth, and an actual crochet needle) and my sister would crochet and I’d watch her. The only thing I’ve been able to master is the granny square. I’ve been making a baby blanket of infinity granny square. It’s great to work with my hands, making a baby blanket for my friend in Canada, listening to audiobooks - but it got a bit monotonous. Doesn’t help that I have been using 4 balls of the same multicolor yarn. But I don’t like working in squares. There’s not much creative freedom. I’m almost done with my friend’s blanket and want to move on to making my own. And please no infinity granny square! I want to learn the granny rectangle. But honestly not ready for it yet. A few weeks ago I learnt the granny stitch! It’s so lovely. I made myself a head band. But there’s also the issue of cost. Yarn is expensive where I live. I don’t have much money to buy a million different colored yarns for my blanket. I want to treat myself to different colors every month. And then today I was googling granny blankets and found the website crochetbeja. I watched the video. And I am in awe that I can combine everything I like into a project. I’m going to have creative control over my colors and my rows. The last pattern idea truly blew me away! You mean to tell me I can do all this with crochet? I am in awe. I am in complete bliss. This is what heaven feels like. OH EM GOSH. How am I going to sleep tonight??? I’ll buy myself 4 different colored balls of yarn every month and slowly work on a blanket for myself in my own quirky color combination! Ugh I’m so happy today. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I finally found someone that really LOVE doing Granny Square. Thank you!

You helped me alot!!! Figured out how to make my square into a rectangle!!

Your videos are always a joy to watch! I've adopted your technique for connecting to turning chains, and I'd like to share a trick I use instead of slip-stitching across a cluster at the start of each round. I replace the final chain stitch of the fourth corner with a single crochet (double crochet for my countrymen). Then I chain up from there and work the next two double crochets (trebles in the UK) over the single. It means that I always start and finish in a corner.

I believe this is my favorite pattern right now!!! I’m 43 and started quilting when I was 17. I had tried many many times to make a log cabin quilt and never could get it right. I absolutely love this tutorial, I can actually make the log cabin now in crochet. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!!! I also appreciate that you give us different ideas! I think I’m gonna make the blocks and then put them together first. Thank you again!!!

thanks for the refresher...i hadnt done a granny square in 50 years, and loved this pattern.

Your voice is so soothing lol. Thanks for clear instructions 😊

Just love how you explain this for beginners. I have been crocheting for years but still like to check am doing it right 😊

Oh Fiber Spider!! Now you are feeding TWO of my obsessions...crochet AND quilting. You are awesome!

Oo I love the look of this one spider , great colours too , once I finish all the other fabulous things of yours Iv got on the go and all the others I'd like to do I will be giving this one a go , thank you so much 😊Amanda xx

Hi thanks so much for doing this so quick, as so many of us loved the parquet shawl and wanted to do as a blanket, have made two parquet shawls already for friends, l am going to make this next a huge thank you for all your hard work, your an inspiration, xxx

Thanks for moving the top of the stitch forward so we can see that hook goes through both stitch or through just a single stitch. I hope this makes since. My crocheting has improved drastically.

Thank you Fiber Spider. I was one of the many that asked for the parquet shawl to be in blanket form. I will be making this soon. I'm already picturing it in many different color combos and weights of yarn.Thanks again

Oh my goodness I love this. I am so going to add it to my blanket lineup.

I loved this tutorial, now I know how this is made. Thank you so very much! Have an awesome day

I love this idea. I can't to do this with all my scrap yarn. Thank you for sharing

I am ashamed to admit that I just recently found your channel. (Wish it was sooner) But I am "hooked" Absolutely love you. Your tutorials are amazing and your personality seems so down to earth. Can't wait to binge watch all your videos!!

Love love love this Log Cabin Granny Square afghan!! Will be be back to this video to make sure I have it done and can customize mine as I go!! Thanks for your wonderful instructions and explanation of everything!!

Thank you so so much. This pattern could also make a nice shrug. I also like the squares. Elegant 😉

Love these ideas! Thanks! Going to make one for my grandson.

This is incredible. Love your creativity.

By making this a log cabin effect, it looks like a variation on the miter granny square. I like the effect. Thank you for the tutorial.

Hello from Puerto Rico Nelly I love you work and easy to follow you because you explain so well.great.God bless I am doing my granny (me encanta)

So so addictive! Really thought I was sick of double crochets but I've always liked the log cabin pattern of any kind. This is the first "real" granny stitch afghan I've ever done. It's turning out beautifully!

You give excellent verbal instructions. Thank you so much for making this a fun and easy project.

I made this afghan with 4 different colors, and everyone loves it!! thanks so much for your tutorial. I am on my second one of this pattern using 1 variegated and 6 other colors. They are the same colors as the variegated yarn. I am doing it a little different though. I am doing 6 rows of the regular granny square, then 2 of one color followed by 4 of another and so on. I have pictures I can send you if you like. This tutorial is wonderful. Have a wonderful day and stay safe.

Love this pattern, granny is my absolute favorite and great way to get rid of my leftovers!

Great tutorial!! Thank you!!! I love this pattern. It works up fast and uses up a lot of "scrap" yarn! I don't do the ch-1 between clusters along a row - I find it is too floppy. I go from one cluster directly into the next space for the next cluster along the sides (but do the ch-2 between clusters in the corners).

Thank you! I loved the extra ideas at the end❤️🧶

Making this pattern for my hubby for Christmas. Using lion brand Heartland in 4 color ways. Thank you for your easy to follow instruction. You are Loved !

Thank you for being so kind about explaining granny squares. Yes people may know them but if you are new to crochet and want to do something like this they still need to have it explained. I was on another site and the people were complaining because some "beginners" were saying the person was going to fast. Well it is a learning video they should go a little slower. Anyway, thank you for being so kind and generous with the way you teach.

Love love your tutorial easy to follow and beautiful pattern❤️❤️❤️

I love your teaching, very easy to follow!

Leiston Suffolk UK Just completed the log cabin stitch. Thanks very much for the tutorial. Nice presentation. Made a knee/lap throw with matching cushion 🕷🕷🕸🕸🧶🧶

This is a awesome video! I started with this one this morning and decided to choose 5 colors. In particular, I LOVE the variety of what we can do with this way of crocheting with the granny square stitch. I really love the fact that I can make my own unique blanket by just creating and building, building and building. Yes, I've watched till the end 😉 Thank you so much, Craig 🤗 🙏 Just love it 😍 Greets from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and a very good weekend to everybody🤗❤️🧶

Thanks for such a great tutorial! I loved this pattern but I am particularly glad I stayed watching and saw the pattern ideas at the end. I was wondering if variations were possible so it was great to see your idea and advice for the final design. I have some stash busting to do!

I love this very much. As soon as i finish making some more of your shawls I will be making this.

This blanket is absolutely beautiful...I also saw the knit version of this blanket earlier today on another RU-vid channel!!

Love your designs. I recommend you to everyone who crochets, beginner to advanced. Just want you to never apologize for "yammering". Not everyone learns the same way, so when you are demonstrating your stitches , then show us how to and then tell us your idea behind the count, and why you have worked it out that way, then say again, maybe a different approach to thinking about it,and a helpful suggestion tacked on to that, (whew) that is what a good teacher does! Never change! I did your diamond and lace blanket and you add a double crochet into the pattern and it was such a light bulb moment, but one I would have never seen. Thank you for your dedication. It means the world to so many of us.

Thank you Fiber! You explained in such great pleasure in this video. I've been admiring this pattern and longtime, and I have decided to give it a try. I started today July 4th, and can't seem to put it down. Very easy now it's going to be another of my favorite. I am using Purple, Blue and White. ❤❤❤

when you said "an L around a square" bingo! it made sense to me finally. thank for taking the time to explain this so that I can understand it♥♥

I love this style & will definitely make my own pattern using it as you suggested 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

This is so easy. I got some Bernat Blanket on clearance and tried it. It makes a cute and quick lapghan or baby blanket. Thanks for this tutorial!

Great pattern. Thanks so much. Just finished one in pinks and purples. 5 colors. I put a flower in the center block. 😍

This is AWESOME! will try this pattern for sure> Love your tutorials, Thank You,

I love this one, it's so beautiful. You do awesome work. Going to have to make one too. Thank you

I love your videos! You are my favorite!! I so enjoy listening as well as watching! Thanks for sharing!

I love this and I’m not a Granny Square fan. I was given yarn and a partially finished GS afghan with the promise I’d finish it. Instead, I’ll pull it apart and do this. 😁. Thank you!!!!

I've known how to make a granny square since I was five years old. But I still listen to you go over it again, cuz you have such a lovely, comforting voice. BTW, I'm making this pattern for my daughter's wedding gift; she requested it specifically.

Hi #fiber spider. You have done it again! I have seen many versions of this log cabin stitch, but your tutorial explains it in the best way. I especially love how you explain WHY you do things the way you do. Again, thank you - Madeline in NC.

You make learning new patterns so easy!! Thank You!

Love your tutorials, your voice is calming.. I just like listening to you.

I'm so grateful for your tutorials 🧡

Another awesome video. So easy to follow. I sew in my ends as I go.

I’m a crochet newb. Trying to learn basic stitches. My jaw dropped in awe of your finished afghans. I’m learning to love the granny square too. Thank you!

Those colors are beautiful.I'm going to give it a try.

Love the one at the end with red so beautiful

I absolutely love your work. You make really beautiful things, and the instructions are clear and easy! I was wondering if you would consider making a video of one of your kaleidoscope blankets in solid granny squares.The basics on how to build on from each square would be fantastic!
