365 Days of Granny Squares: Number 2

[@Angie-in8wc]

Tips for doing this great project 1. Always read the comments before starting a square. you’ll learn a lot. 2. Be aware the squares are not all a uniform size. 3. Keep one square out as a size template square if this important to you. 4. Too keep sizes similar - If the square needs to bigger, add a round of single, half double or double crochet to enlarge it. If the square looks like it’s going to be too large, you can down size the stitch size in last round, if Nadia says double crochet, you might be able to do it in 1/2 double crochet or even single to make the square smaller. 5. Everything looks better if it’s blocked. 6. Some people get better results with a smaller hook, like a 4.5mm or even a 4mm. Use what you enjoy. 7. Learn from my fail - I’ve got 20 balls of fluffy loose woven yarn. It looks cute but I’m constantly splitting it with my hook and the fluff doesn’t show up pretty or complicated stitches very well. Try a well woven yarn. 8. Sew in your ends. It sounds crazy but I enjoy sewing them in because it’s a sign of completion, a job well done. Please add your tips. It’s a big fun project and Nadia and her dad are great.

I don't think there's really any rhyme or reason to it. It's about preference and opinion.

[@marionleslie1895]

My first attempt had waves. Second attempt doing 2dc ch2 2dc resulted in a perfectly flat finished square. Thank you and Dad for great tutorials with excellent close ups.

[@diy-meinHäkel-Lookbook]

Beautiful your 365 days with grannies, thank you for your work, ❤❤❤

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

I love doing these as one big blanket and just changing colours.. comes out lovely. I made one with a teddy bear head for a lovey

[@angelheartlove]

Hi Nadia! Thanks! I hope you are feeling well these days. God Bless

[@lifeofaimee6259]

the excitement builds - I am searching for yarn...

[@deefrazier3539]

I have done many of these squares (#2) and find if you only do 2dc ch2 2dc in corners it will lay flat & look better. 5 rows = 6 inch square.

[@VelvetRainFairy]

i still had rippling but not as bad following what you posted :D thanks and now its the same size as DAY 1's square

[@bonnietrefil4070]

Thanks, it helps a lot!

[@judysweatman7501]

Anybody else doing this in 2020?

[@LauraZarri74]

Hello Claudia! I've started in November 2020, so this is not my second granny square in the project. Now is 2021. I've begun with the most difficult grannies squares.

[@JosRuitenbeek]

Thanks for all your work and inspiration!

[@daniellevincent4596]

thank you to you Nadia for the videos and thank you to your dad for good videos👍👍☺

[@creationsbyayankeechristin1385]

Thank u for all the new squares i am using them for a mamoral blanket so thank u

[@danielleracineracine1318]

Your amazing! Your patterns are a work of art. 👏😍

[@sandykeys6906]

Please keep these up and online thru 2017, i plan on doing all of them..... Thanks!!!!

[@Sarahlinii]

For everyone commenting regarding issues with this square being wavy, rumpled and not laying flat: instead of doing 3dc, chain 2, 3dc in the corner spaces, try 2 double crochets, chain 2, and 2 double crochets. This pattern inherently has some issues laying completely flat, but the fix mentioned above will make this less noticeable and easier to manage.

[@SusanLEvans]

Sarah Tabler thats how i do mine. Comes out nice and square!

[@lindamurray5503]

Thank you for that information because I kept thinking I made a mistake and was trying to figure out where it was, lol, I feel better now

[@ladykayla7417]

Thanks for that.

[@DrGrossDeath]

I was just about to ask what I did wrong cause I was stumped!😂 Thanks

[@minaakter8906]

[@thelildarlings1]

Hi my ? Is will we be making a granny blanket with all the squares we will be making this year? It will be nice cause u will have all kinds of blankets with all kinds of colors. I am a supporter of you. Bless u and the healing in your body for full complete healing.

[@YARNutopia]

+Lisa Darling Yes, All the information you need can be found here: yarnutopia.com/365-days-of-granny-squares/ Not all links will have written patterns since these are all very simple small projects. All squares will be roughly around the same size so they can be sewn together and attached at the end of the year.

[@hebamohamed1236]

nice idea

[@noylin1000]

Ayer empecé espero hacer dos por día 😮😊

[@michelecook4502]

Can I just crochet over my stragglers instead of weaving in?

[@Angie-in8wc]

Yes, just make sure the tail is long enough that it won’t unravel when the blanket is washed.

[@jayanthivanan5441]

I love your videos nadia.... Do you crochet doily patterns????. I wan some too

[@danutareda9352]

Jakie piękne,. pozdrawiam.

[@JessicaR1990]

feed back and tip to all of you that is trying out this pattern in your own choice of color on rows 5 and up i would highly recommand for you to try to do this instead as shown in the video , for your corners try 3 dc ,ch 2, 3 dc a and instead of having 21 stitched in each dc try mount of 19 . and if you desire to go more rounds as 6 like i did i would try out total of 25 stitches in total i did total of 6 rows in this video tutorial trial and my total stitched i did was 27 on row 6 but of course as i discribed in the comments my square came out bulgy and wouldnt come out flat even tho i steamed ironed it . its still bulgy . but even tho its bulgy i did got it as blocked as i could so im continue on process of making more blocked to make a big blanket with it . i hope those of you try this info may help of you . .. great video btw Faud Azmat !

[@50wipscrochetlife13]

Just completed #2 of 365 now I have 18 more to catch up to day 20 Thank you for a great Tuturiol❤💚💜👤🐧Christina January,20,2020

[@letyreyna8473]

Very nice thank you

[@lizallcote7808]

hiya, for some reason I can not get this to stay flat, it's like I have too many stitches per row, its rippling! Can you give me any help please, I am determined to do ALL of these granny squares and make a nice big hippy blanket, yeah !!!!!

[@YARNutopia]

In the corners, you can put [1dc, ch 2, 1 dc] or you can put [2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc] in the corners instead. Then it should stay flat. Good luck!! ~Nadia

[@lizallcote7808]

+Fuad Azmat / YARNutopia by Nadia--------thank you very much for getting back to me, especially when you must be so busy, I'll give that a go and I'll let you know how I got on. By the way I am now on number 22 of the granny squares, I absolutely love doing them. x

[@jenniferchevez2380]

Would blocking it help make it flat?

[@yasmineabolghasemi-malekab6220]

How big should each square measure to when done please.?

[@valiaba88]

how big do they turn out?

[@JessicaR1990]

faud azmat , i am following the directions in the tutorial as you show , rows 3,4,and 5 i just completed row 5 and my square is bulgy and not wanting to come out flat i am going to be trying maybe keep going as u show in the tutorial and when i get the blocked completely made by the length i desire , and will try steam iron it flat out some if this doesn't work can you please point out why the square is not coming out flat in a video tutorial . please and thanks for advanced love the square pattern. but i don't know why my block is coming out bulgy instead of flat .

[@wvjmat1]

I have not found the written instructions for Granny 2. There is no written instruction on the list of the 365 days of granny squares. Could someone post the link where the instructions would be.? Thank you.

[@carolynreed8694]

Didn't see written pattern on your site . where do I look?

[@scoobysue24]

I've just tried to do this pattern but it won't go straight I have kinks in it what am I doing wrong the day 1 square is perfect ur patterns r brilliant btw 👍👍

[@yurinitawilliams3888]

Hi I really love your videos. They are really helpful. I am doing this square but I wanted to continue with it and make a blanket fur my son, but the bigger it gets it does not lay flat. It it's starting to ripple. Can this be made into a blanket?

[@chocolateabutterflies5902]

You might have to make multiple squares and join them together

[@iveypizarro1093]

Is it suppose to be bigger than the first granny square we made? Mine came out a little bigger 🤔

[@sandesnow]

I was wondering the same thing??

[@DaisyDreamingSims]

I took off the outer row and it's the same size as the others.

[@paulam610]

I do not how I rip oit the row. Now I lnow how to fix it. Thanks alot everyone .

[@1215mdpc]

has any one found the written pattern.... loving this project

[@YARNutopia]

+P Howel The 365 Days of Granny Squares will not have any written patterns since these are short videos. I plan to attach them, and I will film a demonstration on a few different ways you can do that. All the information for this project can be found here: yarnutopia.com/365-days-of-granny-squares/

[@evangelineelliott2834]

Done.

[@paulam610]

I finished square 2

[@wendypenrod2559]

How is a person suppose to put them together if they are not all the same size?

[@terrihuff]

Square 2 is larger than square 1 - are these supposed to fit perfectly?

[@DaisyDreamingSims]

This is my issue as well. I guess I am going to take off the outer row, as it makes it bigger than the other squares. Mine is also wavy, so I guess I will go back and only do 2 in the corners as others have suggested.

[@diana1096]

I could not get this to square out no matter how many times I tried to make it. It was always try to wave.

[@JSGH205]

+Diana Cluck I can't either

[@dominoebarb]

I cant find written instructions ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@runningbearwhitedove7129]

[@CraigsOverijse]
