[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi friends, I hope you enjoy the video! So many fun things you can do with a granny square. If I missed any, let me know! 🧶❤️

[@minorthing8970]

Recently picking up a hook again after a lapse of many years, would just like to thank you once again for showing me so many handy tips+tricks. And for providing me with a source of constant inspiration. ❤

[@Mallowolf]

Your tip on using a smaller hook size than the one recommended and skipping the chain 1 between clusters, to create sturdier granny squares is truly the best! I discovered the former myself but I'm trying it with the latter from now on. I love granny squares but depending on the yarn they can be too flimsy, so your tip is perfect.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Exactly , that’s a good word for it. 🙌🏻🧶💕 I’m glad you liked the suggestions , thank you !

[@wynamaarp7024]

@ thought about this conversation yesterday when a different granny square pattern by someone else popped up.

[@Gothlite-i1l]

Thank you a million times for the links to other crocheters! What a perfect vid for this time of year when we are getting ready to make things for the holidays. TFS!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Thank you ! These are all quick makes so , you’re right, perfect for this time of year 🙌🏻💕🧶

[@Rozelynn8040]

Great tip of skipping the chains to make the granny tighter. I like granny squares for dishcloths, so I’m going to start doing that. Also LOVE the heart-center granny! How cute! Thank you for the unique ideas! 🧶

[@PaigePatten-mf2js]

@ sorry should have been more clear it to the granny square pouch with the zipper. Love it so much going to make a few for my co workers for Christmas.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@ ohhh got it. Yes, absolutely. Make it to what ever size you like. If using a zipper, your goal will be to make it align with the length of it. Also , be sure to check out the alternative liner video that i added at the end of that video and in the description box. I discovered a Devon way that you might like better . 💕🧶

Great video, I love granny squares! I have made lots of these ideas in the past but slippers and a laptop sleeve are on my list now. I make granny square cat mats every month and donate them to my local shelter. Snoopy and Biscuit are adorable!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

That’s fabulous on the cat mats - can you share what type of yarn you used and crochet stitch ? I’d love to make a “real” one for these guys ❤️

[@BronwenBudgets]

@@PlayHookywithMe I mostly just use acrylic DK or Aran (I'm in the UK) and do a continuous traditional granny square until it gets to about 20 inches. I have fun trying out different colour combinations. I tie them with string and add a label as my local shelter sell them. My own cats love everything I make them, lol. They have several small blankets, mostly squares but I made a granny rectangle for their carry basket and I even made them a granny star blanket. I do want to try a cat or paw print design using C2c though, I think that would be cute!

[@wynamaarp7024]

@ wish I could heart that thank you so much!!❤️

[@wynamaarp7024]

Not sure if you are aware, but the reason your cat is laying on that square granny square is because the shape of it. If you don’t believe me, put some painters tape on your floor. Shape it into a square box. You will be amazed how much time your cat spends inside of that square of tape.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

That is so interesting! So my question is , why is the shape significant ?

[@wynamaarp7024]

@@PlayHookywithMe that I have no idea. But whenever my husband and I had a tortoiseshell tabby, we tested that after we saw it online. Sure enough, she like to curl up inside of that square of tape. She also like to lay inside of a water bottle box. She would slip in to the small opening, whenever several bottles have been taken out. Some thing about it would comfort them.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

@ mine do the same thing with the water bottle box 🤣 That’s really fascinating.

[@wynamaarp7024]

@@PlayHookywithMe agreed it is. Any kind of box shape, (visible wide tape on floor in shape of square included), seems to act like a dog house to a dog
