1/12th Scale Crocheted Granny Square Throw / Afghan

[@hemahaw1]

I dont even care about making anything I just really like to listen to your voice!

[@JulieWarren]

Haha, thank you, that's nice to hear.

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Yes, she has such a lovely voice! You should be narrating audio books Julie!

[@barbaraness4507]

I’ve always had a great admiration for anyone who could crochet using the tiny hook, and crochet thread.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Barbara. It's all down to practice, really. xx

[@lindastowars7346]

YOU CERTAINLY ARE AMAZING. I CANNOT MAKE A REGULAR SIZE GRANNY SQUARE LET ALONE A MINIATURE, CAN SEE WHY MINIATURE THINGS COST AS MUCH AS REGULAR SIZE THINGS.

[@katphyre]

Your attention to detail is what I love about your videos. I've crocheted and knitted for years but I never imagined a little afghan. And it's something I could include in my granddaughter's doll house because it can't be crushed or snapped into pieces. I may need a magnifying glass but I'm definitely giving this a try.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you're going to have a go at the miniature Afghan.

[@chrisgreek4285]

This is absolutely charming! These little handmade additions take a dollhouse from “fine” to truly “homey and exquisite”. Lovely❣️❣️

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much!

[@storybookstitchery1115]

This is amazing. I would never have the patience to work with something so small. I am so impressed with your work.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you so much.

[@galinakrymskaia8640]

Your voice is so relaxing !!! I did not noticed how I watch 4or 5 video ! Thank you for good video!!

[@JulieWarren]

😊 thank you

[@Foxiepawstotti]

I have been persevering at getting smaller and have managed to get to a 1mm hook with the embroidery floss I am using for practice. It's amazing the difference the hook size makes. I think I M just about at my limit now though as both my eyesight and manual dexterity seem to object if I try any smaller. Like you have said, there's no point if you're not enjoying crocheting so I have been trying with various stitches to fake the look of granny squares instead of obsessing on using smaller and smaller hooks. I really enjoy all your videos Julie and I think my dabbling in the doll house hobby has kept me sane in these stressful times. Thank you and I hope you and your family are keeping safe and well throughout this pandemic .

[@crowznest438]

Wow, that's really something. Didn't even know there was a size 22 - smallest I've ever tried is a size 11. I'm feeling like a challenge. Thanks for the vids; you're very talented.

[@mjesimakhaya8189]

Thanks for tutorial, yes I'd love more

[@elizabetholiviaclark]

I know how to do this, but I wanted to acknowledge the effort you put in your tutorial as well as in your lovely crochet. I rely on a bright light and no less than three pairs of reading glasses. Three, count ‘em three. I’m sure I look quite silly, but that’s the only way I can see my work.

[@debspeck1033]

Absolutely gorgeous work

[@lindajoyceknight7097]

Wow that is some intricate work! I like to crochet but I'm not sure my eyes could take this.

[@JulieWarren]

Hi Linda, it can be a bit of a strain on the eyes! One thing that helps is plenty of light. Thank you for watching.

[@lindajoyceknight7097]

Julie Warren I will continue to watch. I absolutely love your work

[@Ohnofluffy]

Wow! Your work/talent is absolutely amazing.

[@JulieWarren]

Really enjoyed the tutorial. I crocheted years ago. And I'm just now getting very interested in miniatures. So I may give it a go. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I very much enjoy your channel content.

[@viviane9442]

Thank you Julie for making the squares in real time. It was so helpful. I’ve watched it several times over the past year and finally tried again after a failed attempt last year. It went so well this time. It may take me a while but as soon as I’m done I’ll post my finished throw and cushions on Facebook.😊

[@JulieWarren]

I'm so glad you persevered Vivian. They are quite time-consuming, but the end result is worth it. I look forward to seeing your completed throw and cushions. :)

Thank you 🤗

Thank you so much Linda. I'm glad you enjoyed this video, please do have a look at my list of videos, as I have done a tutorial for the flower pattern crocheted square too. I'm also planning on a 'round cushion' tutorial shortly. :)

Hi Julie I have made this project and posted it on my Pinterest page. I have linked it to your Chanel hope you don’t mind. It was a challenge and the squares were not all the same size but I did enjoy making it Thank you for your expert tuition (we made it together 👌😀

Thankyou so much for sharing the crochet tutorial . I've tried many times but still don't feel I'm using the right cotton, and still feel confused when looking for the item uve mentioned. Your work is so so neat, I love it. I'm striving for that very look but gave long way to go. X

[@JulieWarren]

Anne, do keep trying, you'll get there in the end, it's all about practice. I've put the website address in the description for the cottons, but here is a direct link to the page.

Do keep me updated with your progress. xx www.claireslace.co.uk/shop/index.php?id_product=287&controller=product

[@janicebell1964]

I go to Joanns.com and they always have the threads. It's not even very expensive. They also have silk threads. I love to crochet in miniature. It adds a wonderful touch to a scene. I got the .60mm crochet hook (Clover brand) on amazon.com just go there and search for the items. I recommend getting the threads on joanns, though, because they have a great selection and there are often coupons. I hope this helps. Let me know if there's any more I can do to help you. I hope you get to try it :)

It would need to be about double this size, but just measure the bed you're putting it on and make enough square to fit. :)

Thanks Berindin. It would be much easier if it was a universal pattern! :)

[@carrie4910]

Could you use the multi stranded embroidery thread for this? Or does it really only work with this type of cotton thread?

[@JulieWarren]

You could use embroidery thread. It’s a bit finer than the crochet thread, so you may need to use a smaller hook, say a 0.4mm (no.24).

Yes, for a double bed 9 x 3 works well, but there’s no definite rule, whatever you think looks good. 😄

[@JuneMiller-t6h]

Hi Julie..I am loving your miniature crochet videos. I have done a lot of crocheting but never in #80 thread. I have not been able to find any here in NZ. Do you know of a thread I could substitute it for? I thought of maybe 1 or 2 strands of DMC embroidery thread?

[@JulieWarren]

Hi June, yes, embroidery thread works well too. I have used a single strand to make even smaller squares! :) xx

[@JulieWarren]

As I explained before, this was filmed on my old camera, but the later videos will be of better quality.

[@cableknitter7346]

Wonder if you'd be able to re-do this demo either under magnification, or while using full-sized hooks & yarn just in order to model the stitches themselves. Then a person could follow you, but while using the 1/12 hooks & yarn.

[@JulieWarren]

I don't have time to re-do this video, but have done a clearer one since.

[@historicalfashionpassion]

This all looks so complicated to me...I have no knowledge of crocheting and it takes a lot of patience I don’t have...you are very talented...

[@marlenychakola9658]

Thank you, Marleny. The crochet hook is a size 22, but I'm not sure about the thread...if you are able to find DMC Special Dentelles thread, I use no. 80.

[@annheil981]

Do you know the dimensions of the .50 granny square? Just want to make sure mine are in line. I know the pillows are 1 1/4 inch, which they look a lot bigger than the granny squares. Any help would be appreciated. Annie

[@JulieWarren]

Hi Ann. Do have a look at my crochet vlog, where I talk all about square sizes and the hooks to use to make them in a particular size. As a quick answer though, these 4-round squares are about 20mm (3/4 inch) square.

[@joannecarroll5504]

Your description was clear as always, but it's been many years since I last crocheted & I'm a rather visual learner. Sadly, my eyes just couldn't see the small scale of your work on my laptop. However, I'm sure there'll be a vid somewhere in a larger scale to refresh my memory of crochet before I come back here & have another go. Hopefully not an American one tho, as they have different terms from where I learned in UK & Australia & I don't need to be more confused lol.

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you Joanne. I was a bit concerned about the size, but hopefully others too will either already have a basic knowledge of crochet, or find a larger scale version that will help and then pop back! :)

[@janicebell1964]

I have bad eyes, too, but I use a magnifier. Nowadays, they have these digital magnifiers on amazon.com for 40 bucks that can make it as big as you want, and you can watch on the computer what you're crocheting. It's magnificent. Highly recommend getting some kind of magnifier. You'll show off and people will wonder how you did it!

[@JulieWarren]

Thank you for the information Janice, I hadn't heard of those. :)

[@janicebell1964]

There are also the mag eyes, which is just a thing that you put on your head and can swing the magnifier bit down, and it doesn't affect if you have glasses or not. Let me know if I can help in any way.

[@joannecarroll5504]

@@janicebell1964 sorry for the late response. The instructions are quite clear & my problem is not in seeing my work, but in seeing the teaching stitch on the screen to compare to my own, so I can follow the instructions. I have since re-watched the video via Chromecast on a large flat screen tv & once again, I can see hands, needle & cotton, but not the stitches that I need to emulate. I can't magnify what is not visible to the camera. Some other videos that teach crochet do it with much larger hooks & with thicker yarn than usual, purely for demonstration purposes, so the camera can pick it up & show it more clearly. I feel that may be a good idea for future mini crochet tutorials.

If you can crochet in real size, that makes it so much easier! I started with a size 1.00mm hook and worked my way down to 0.5mm. It is tricky at first, but the end results are worth the perseverence. Do give it a go, I think you'll surprise yourself. :)
