[@marypoisel2607]

Hi, Crystal! I love making Granny Squares! Maybe because my maternal grandma showed me how when I was 9 years old. I’m 76 years now and have recently gotten back to my crochet hooks, but just like riding a bike, you never forget how to crochet! I prefer using a crochet hook to join them just exactly like you just demonstrated. I, too, do the front/back hooking to get that extra finished look and to add extra texture. Very eye-pleasing and a great brainless chore while listening to my audiobooks. Thank you bunches for this easy tutorial for our newer crocheters. You are most encouraging, and you have a big heart. ((((Lotsa Hugs))))💝

[@carolynstiltz5161]

Crystal,. Once again you make this easy to follow. I like the way you are so patient and show closeup of the work as you verbally given directions. Thank you for being here for for us. Carolyn S

[@denisespencer6550]

It took me a while to get the hang of making granny squares, and once I mastered it, I was gone

[@cheryltemple7188]

I, too, love the brainless chore aspect!

[@annaknitowski1949]

Might start doing granny squares at some point, im working my way through different stitch methods at the moment, im currently working on 3 blankets each one with different stitching methods, one is the crocodile stitch, another is the seed stitch (alternating stitches in each one chain of a single and double stitche) and im starting a star stitch.

[@denisespencer6550]

It took me a while to get the grasp of making granny squares, but once I got the hang of it, I was gone. I love making granny squares. I have started trying different squares too

[@genera1013]

I was literally right about to look up how to sew my squares together. Talk about perfect timing!

[@queque5williams748]

Thanks for sharing 😊I will use both ways.I learn a lot from you

[@jerrianngordillo-marty161]

Thank you for taking the time to teach us how to crochet this together ❤ You are awesome ❤

[@tendrmoon]

Thanks so much for this! I always sewed my grannies together, but the slip stitch method is so much neater and easier.

[@laurierhoades5100]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’ve always avoided granny squares because I never could figure out a good way to join them that I liked! You are my guru! You have taught me so many things, I always go to your tutorials first!

[@judyanndanguecan2631]

Woah! I just finished my granny square and trying to make a bag back. Thanks for your video! Very helpful! ❤️❤️😍😍

[@tammyloxton3092]

So glad to see this. I've never done granny squares and just learned how. I'm doing a color control granny square Afghan so this came just in time. Thank you so much for posting this. Again I can count on you for all my crocheting needs. Sending love and good blessings to you and the family. 💕✌️

[@shirleycarter2451]

Hi Crystal, my daughter is just back from university and has asked to learn how to make granny squares ( she's house and dog/horse sitting for 2 weeks) so have given her a bag of yarn/hooks ect and shared your videos so she can start while on her own( already taught her the basic stitches). So great timing thanks a bunch for all your great tutorials. 👍 😃

[@Cari_Crafts]

I LOVE that this attaches so many squares all the way across, and I love the ridge too! :)

[@LoriWallis]

Ooooo, I love all the bright colors. I've never made a granny square, as of yet. But, I do want to try doing them...so I'm gonna go to the basic granny square link. TYSM Crystal. Love your tutorials. You taught me how to crochet. I started abt 7 mos. ago. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents. You are AMAZING, gf🤗

[@mariankay6482]

You found a great teacher! Crystal makes the difficult sitches easy because she goes slow and steady. Congrats on your new way to spend money and have fun making all sorts of things that your and others can love and enjoy for years to come. 🙂

[@pamelatheobald337]

I connect mine usually by sewing but depends on my mood. I saved your videos on these for my granddaughters to learn from lol. Granny square was the first thing i learned to make when i was i think 11 years old.

[@Value1lady]

Crystal i have never made a granny square before but will definitely start. Thanks it does look very nice with the ridge

[@cherylhuger8447]

Excellent tutorial. I usually join as I go for attaching my squares but this is a nice alternative.

[@brendamonteith1041]

I have always been afraid to try granny squares but now I think I could do it. Thank you Crystal.

[@joanwozniak9259]

Thank you for showing those seaming methods. You're an excellent teacher ! Personally, I use the yarn needle when I attach Granny squares because I think it's the fastest and easiest.

[@robinbliss6513]

I’m working on my first granny square blanket and I really needed this! I’m so glad this was in your archives. You are such a font of knowledge and inspiration!

[@jeangough5223]

Hi Crystal your timing is perfect.. I was just thinking I need to find a tutorial on how to sow up my granny squares.. thank you jean x

[@bonnibobb1628]

Thank you so much for this video! As you said, there are so many methods for joining and I appreciate hearing why an experienced crocheter prefers one method over another. I really like this method. It is simple and easy and the end result is pleasing to the eye.

[@denisesherlock6887]

Thank you. I am working on my first granny square blanket. I really needed this

[@tkgcreations3247]

I usually use both loops and sl st then together. However I am always on the look out for other ways that are clean and neat. Thank you ~Chris~

[@wendybell6988]

Hi Crystal I tried a lot of different ways and always ended up with big lumps in the corners and gave up until I found you granny cardi and watched the tutorial and your method and how easily it work now allows me to play around with granny's again

[@aliciaclement1952]

Thank you so much for this! My Grandma made me a crochet blanket about 14 years ago and it is coming undone. She passed away about two-and-a-half years ago. So I can't have her help me fix it, but now I can do it myself with the help of your video. Also I appreciate the granny square video! I am an 80s baby and I started making Neon granny squares my plan is to put a blanket together! I'm so excited!🤗 One more thing..you mentioned you would put a border around the granny squares do you happen to have a video on doing that? If not, if you ever have time to make a video I would greatly appreciate it.😁

[@irmadeleon445]

THANKS FOR SHARING I WAS DOING IT WRONG BUT WATCHING YOUR VIDEO YOU MADE IT SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND THANKS AGAIN ..

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Glad it helped! ❤️

[@deborahrichardson1842]

Hey Crystal, thanks again for another well detailed tutorial. It's very appreciated!

[@BimmerBabe]

i appreciate you showing how to attach several! so many vids and so many ppl only do 2 and its not helpful when i want to assemble a blanket. You rock. thank you so much

[@InYarnWeTrust]

Thank you for this. I like the look of the ridge as well. I tend to do a round or two of the join color on each square first just because I like the look. I hadn’t done too many granny square projects before and am just getting into it.

[@Needlewich]

I’m so glad you showed us how to join granny squares. I’ve always used the yarn needle to join. But I do like the slip stitch method. I LOVE making granny squares! I’m making a table runner from a granny square now (among other projects on hooks!). Stay safe! Love & Hugs! 💕🤗💕

[@suzmauer5385]

Yay! Now I know how to join all those Battenberg squares I've been making. Thanks again Crystal.

[@laurapennell3144]

So many ways to attach. Thanks for the turorial.

[@wandaxxxx7406]

Thanks for the tutorial Crystal. Take care.

[@melauman5497]

Again, learned something new!!! Looks so clean!!!! Thank you!!!

[@virginiacave9888]

Hi Crystal Happy Sunday Evening ❤️ so happy you are showing us how to do this❤️❤️

[@godrocks2107]

I like this method, I haven't put squares together yet as I haven't found a method I like. I do love the clean and ridge look this one has, I'll be using this one soon.

[@yvonnefonseca922]

Thanks Crystal. I think with the needle it seems easier. Thanks for the review.

[@stephanieblackburn4044]

Thank you for sharing this! Now I will be able to make granny squares!

[@belindabarger6083]

Thanks for sharing before I came across your videos the other sites make it look difficult to sew granny squares together, but your way is so simple. Your the only one I watch now. Your so helpful and easy to follow and you explain things better so this country hick can understand. 😁😁

[@julianam9795]

Hi! I'm sewing granny squares for the first time and watched so many videos without getting how to do it😂😂 i loved your way to do it and got it in my first watch! I personally prefer sewing from the front, but what i loved with this tutorial is thay i could do exactly the same steps kist putting the squares on their good sides😊 thank you very much!! :))

[@valeriemcgruder9392]

Great job Crystal. Thank you. I have done both those methods. I also like the seem less where you can't see the yarn on either side. Takes longer though.

[@caroletrawick2454]

I actually use both of the methods that you just shown in this video. I also like to sew with the whip stitch and when you turn it over you still have the I have the the little edges, but then in the middle of those it makes a nice little pattern. Depending on what I'm sewing up I change between the three methods. Thanks for the tutorials

[@cynthiaborah2348]

I like that method, too! That’s the one I use. Thanks, Crystal! 🥰

[@rebeccalipe6382]

I love granny squares I’m slowly making a cardigan like was the show This Is Us. I like your method and love your teaching.

[@Pammy_Yolo]

I was always taught to sew them but I like this way better. Ty Crystal ❤️❤️❤️

[@Aj-luv-Blossoms]

I absolutely love this!!🥰🤩♥️♥️ I am definitely gonna try this one! I’m making a bunch of granny squares yarn in all kinds of colors, so I can make a blanket.🤩🥰♥️ Thanks for sharing this video!

[@BimmerBabe]

i just have a ton cause they are so cute and fast to whip up. now i gotta do something with them. i hope to make something cute

[@emma-woodhouse-721]

I almost always use a continuous join as you go because it is so very convenient (creates a last round of each granny, while simultaneously joining the square to the next one, with only two ends to weave in when finished) but have never been completely happy with the stability of the join itself. Your style looks pretty simple too - while producing a very stable join! Thanks very much for posting this. ❤️ I’ll definitely be trying your way on my next granny square blanket!

[@marypeterson8158]

Crystal ... thank you so very much! You truly are awesome. I am going to try both methods and then choose. I have 2 sets of squares ready to join. One is everyday and one is Christmas themed. I will try very hard to show you what becomes of them. Again ... thank you so very much. Love to you and all your family ... 2 and 4 legs.

[@lisadiannemoore7196]

Thank you for this! I have made so many squares but am always daunted by sewing them together! I’m going to try this 🧶🙂

[@raventhistle]

Oh thankyou so much! Just in time - I have a big Minecraft granny square blanket to sew together and was scared to do it. You're a gem, thankyou so much 😊

[@merryhaveman353]

I just finished a large block granny Afghan joining backs together and slip stitching the inner loops only. I loved the finish that framed each square with what looks like a braid with a line down each side.

[@vondastrauser4428]

Hi Crystal. I use those methods too. Have just learned join as you go method. I get confused on it at times though. Thanks for the refresher. Take care.

[@mazie65]

Thank you for showing how to sew the squares together.💜🩵

[@Me_Ewe_and_Yarn_Cheryl]

There's a blanket that I've wanted to make for a while now that is made up of lots of 3 round granny squares in various shades of red, green, blue, yellow and purple and no border colour. It's just a bigger version of the squares you joined together in this video. I've been puzzling over how I would join them together and now here you are with the perfect method. Thank you! Apart from time, the main difference I see between the two ways you showed would be the amount of yarn needed for the join. The sewing method looks like it would use a lot less yarn.

[@lavlinkhadanga5426]

Am so glad u did a tutorial on joining them too!

[@lourdeschapa9389]

Thanks so much for showing this technique. Absolutely clean & like the ridge, it's beautiful. As always Crystal, u r excellent teacher. Hugs 😘

[@raventhistle]

Ohhh yes I remember doing this on your pattern for the kids hooded cardigan! Omg this blanket is going to look even better than I thought woohoo thankyou thankyou so much xx

[@LoriClassroomStoriesAndCrochet]

Thank you! I am sewing rows of diamonds together and I had to switch to using a yarn needle immediately because it uses so much less yarn that way. I really was just guessing how to do it, and I kind of landed on your method. I will totally do your method for the back panel of the sweater I'm making!

[@wendycampbell8049]

Love it. Wish I would of seen your granny squares and connecting them before I did my blanket

[@cynthiamiller530]

Thank you Crystal for this lesson I have learned something really great.About granny square’s and how to sew them together and I saw this one ☝️ with making it a cake it was beautiful 😍

[@paulalatham1266]

I love your way I hate making granny square because I hate ways it look like after I’m done and I’m a beginner and I can do that so I’m going try to make granny squares thank you

[@beverlyhickey2705]

Thank for sharing, I like both ways. I have a gift granny square blanket that was joined by single crochet on the front, it is pretty as well.

[@patriciagrossberndt]

Hi Crystal, I finally DID IT ❤ thank you so much for your help and patience.

[@lisasg3cell]

This is also my favorite method for joining squares, but I use the yarn needle more often. Love the ridge effect!

[@brendascuccimarri8138]

That’s the way I do it. I have never tried it with the hook, I’ll give that a try. Thank you for the tip

[@naomiacaprio4164]

Hi Crystal, I do mine the same as yours with the slip stitch. I like the look of the ridge on the front of mine also. Enjoy the rest of your night 💜🙏🤗🧶

[@gayleepple9776]

Crystal, Thank you for showing these methods🥰

[@cherylsmith5307]

You always make things so clear and easy to understand. Thank you! 💜🥰 I've actually only ever made one Granny square blanket and used a single crochet to join.

[@lauriemathews7974]

I single crochet my squares together. I like the seam it leaves. It also helps the non crocheter know which is the top of the blanket.

[@debt8632]

Thanks Crystal! I have used a similar slip stitch method, but the slip stitch was on the front/ right side. I've used it many times, but I like your method more! I'll be sure to try it next time. Thanks!

[@angelaehrhardt5325]

I have used both ways. I agree with you on the technic that you used.

[@victoriaq3465]

Thank you. I am a beginner so this is helpful.

[@lisacain35]

I like the zigzag stitch using a crochet hook. I like the look of it.

[@jerrianngordillo-marty161]

Thank you so much for teaching how to put squares together ❤

[@DianEnglish56]

Thanks for showing how to connect the squares. I used to just make one giant granny square in the size I wanted as I didn’t know how to put them together.

[@tammyhellier9801]

I have always crocheted mine together but I crochet through front and back loops and have always worked with backsides together so I am working from the front of my squares. Some of my blankets looked wonky because I was not careful in deciding to make sure my rows all went the same direction. Oh well, ya gotta learn, right?. Have you ever had a blanket come apart that you have sewn due to it only being one thickness of yarn? Thanks for everything you do for your yarny peeps. You are loved. ❤️

[@suerussell700]

This is such a coincidence. I just about ready to sew some grannys together. Will try this when I do it.

[@YARNBARF]

I prefer using the JAYG method. It was a real game changer for me, and the blanket goes together so quickly! Before I learned that method, I would attach the squares in long strips, then I would sew the strips together. Good grief, so many ends to weave in, ugh! I saw a few slightly different techniques for the JAYG method. I liked Fiber Spiders the best, but I still tweaked it just a touch.

[@melissacrochetswithlove9129]

Thanks for sharing these amazing tips with us because I tend to struggle with attaching my squares and have a huge granny square Collaboration going on right now on my channel and this is a huge help!! Thanks again Crystal 😁

[@lyndacordova7492]

You make it look so easy. I have only made one project using granny squares, it was your sunflower afghan. I believe, if I remember right, you used the slip stitch with a hook so that is what I did. It turned out really pretty. I gave it too one of my daughters.

[@michelleberry9015]

Awesome Thank you. Watching this video is going to inspired me to start crocheting again.

[@kimberlymendenhall4449]

Hi Crystal, I love to use the join as you go method. No tail to weave in. Much easier for me. Never really have to think about it ☺️.

[@chargump9465]

Thank you Crystal, I never knew what I was doing wrong . So simple now! Thank you.

[@teresawrubel1734]

I did it different ways depending on the design, but this is one of the ways I like.

[@preciousbeautyj1043]

The squares I made years ago, were all joined as you go.

[@mistyblue5312]

Thanks Crystal!

[@janjones4772]

Thanks so much for sharing, helped so much, I’ve forgotten so much👍

[@debballiet7381]

Thank you for showing this. I love making grannies but always struggle putting them together.

[@mariacabrera4359]

Thank you Crystal 🤗 I've been waiting for this tutorial. I am definitely doing it your way. I love both methods and so much easier to follow. I feel the other for me is hard and time consuming. You are the best ❤️👍

[@sandielovescrocheting8300]

Hi Crystal. I love the way it looks with the crochet hook method. Will be using it this way from now on. Thank you

[@BKLYNGIRL222]

Another great tutorial. This is quite helpful. ♥️

[@roseburgoyne5382]

I'm in a group that makes blankets for the homeless and various charities. I use both the slip stitch and the sewing method. I prefer to crochet so there's less ends to weave in. If I get a stack of squares that don't have a color theme, I will pick a totally different color and do the " join as you go " method. This frames each square which I will also use in a final border for the blanket.

[@traciperdue]

Thanks for sharing! Have a good night!!!

[@dejag8693]

I really enjoy your videos they help me a lot!

[@roseabraham9915]

Thanks again Crystal for sharing I love both just like you

[@pastaprincess3343]

My mom taught me how to make a granny square and she uses single crochet to join because she likes the ridge it creates on the back side. I've only ever done it that way, but I'm going to try your way because I think that it's pretty 😍.

[@donnamocko5805]

Thanks so much for this great video. 👍 I love the look of the ridges & prefer to use the hook. You make everthing look so easy. You, not only are a talented crocheter, you're an amazing instructor as well. Thank you for all that you do! 💜💜💜

[@jomams1040]

This is the nearest I've ever seen!!! 💗

[@RandomlyKrafty]

Hi Crystal I haven’t joined any kind of squares before. The part with hooking a joined set together with another set in the corner part always intimidated me. Definitely not as hard as I thought. If that makes sense. Thanks for showing this.
