Just found this whilst searching for colour changing. I’m very new to crochet and loving it. Your method here is superb, as is your teaching style. Thank you so much from the UK

[@copperfalls2417]

New subscriber! So happy your vid came up first when I searched changing colors in granny squares. Love your calm voice and pace of instruction and your library is fab. Thank you!

[@heatherbistle83]

Thank you..... I love your videos. you are a great teacher....fast, accurate, and clear to understand.... thanks again!!

[@theresagarda5133]

I have been crocheting for years and this is the best and most clear way of explaining how to change a color. Thank you, Thank you.

[@BondiBeachGirl]

Ive just started to crochet and have taught my self how to do granny squares thanks to youtube and now want to venture in changing colours so thank you for this video. Have saved it into my favourites.

[@annepearce1280]

Thanks for this great tutorial, Mikey. Brilliant to see how you finished off the brown and weaved it in before changing to the light colour. I usually have to 'sew in' all my ends. Will definitely give this a go on my next granny. Also my stripey blanket to see if I can weave the ends of rows in the same way before bringing in a new colour or simply starting a new ball of yarn in the same colour,. Thanks again.

[@ChrisTina-ln4yk]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! This has got to be one of the best I've seen for seamlessly and relatively painlessly hiding the tails when you change colors in a granny square.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Glad it helped!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

yup it will work....basically anything that starts with a ring can use the magic loom instead ....cathy@ the crochet crowd helpdesk

[@annhulett2392]

Thank you so much. Your technique for ending and joining colors in the granny sqaure fabulous.

[@jeankavanagh123]

so happy i found you as its just what i was looking for, and you sound so good and clear, i love all your work thank you so much.

[@amandacovin]

I was looking for a new project and now I have found it!! I am so excited this is just what I am looking for!! This is fantastic very clear and simple!

[@322514]

This was super clear and easy to follow, thank you!

[@MaryJCrisp]

Thank you for posting this instruction. I've been avoiding a granny square for months even though I bought the yarn for it because of the color changing hassle. This method seems to simplify that process, and hope it won't be as intimidating once I get started.

[@deeztube1]

Thanks, Mikey!!! Love all of your tutorials!!!

[@gracemillikan4478]

Even looking back in 2022, this is a great tutorial. I was switching mid slip stitch when I should've just finished it, hid the tails and start the new color. Thank you!!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lauracrosse8908]

Thank you so much for this video! I found it so informative and easy to follow. Thanks again!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CBWithNicole]

Thank you so much. I am still a beginner, but I know all the stitches and even started/finished minor projects like scarfs and blankets. I have had the most HELL changing colors in any pattern. I was introduced to granny squares a month ago... your tutorial helped with my other projects and my latest... giant granny square blanket... It's for my bed.... I need it huge since its a king size.

[@Slivings911]

I've never known to hide the loose yarn ends this way. It seems so much better to get it out of the way in this method, rather than having to weave all the ends in at the end of the project. I will watch this again a couple more times (lol!) to be sure I understand, and I'm going to do it this way from now on. Thanks so much for sharing this! I need to make a granny square throw for a baby boy, and now I'm actually looking forward to it! :)

[@donnacains4267]

Great tutorial, well explained and simple to follow. Thankyou! 😊

[@lindaclarke5666]

I've been so stressed out about changing colours. Others sew in etc . This way is simple.

[@pamelalee6543]

Such a neat way to change colours. I am changing colours 5 times in my granny square and your instructions are very useful - far neater than the way I have been doing it. Thank you - just off to try it.

[@cheyenneshaffer673]

thank you so much this was soooooooo helpful I just learned how to crotchet yesterday and I was so lost on how to change colors thank you

[@SeekerMW]

Your videos are the best!! Thank you so much!!

[@SallyEdworthy]

Many thanks . Very neat and tidy. I will use this method from now on. Much better than sewing the ends in later.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

hello....yes there is another video here on youtube i cant leave you a link here the comments for reason but if your search granny square mikeyssmail the other video should pop up :0) Cathy@ the crochet corwd helpdesk :)

[@lindaclarke4976]

Love these tutorials...

[@anniscrafts]

Oh wow thanks for the tip!

[@nutmeg205]

Awesome, thank you! I've been working on a baby blanket, and I was getting frustrated with my sloppy knots and loose ends!

[@GraceTheCheez]

'and that's the beauty thing aboot it' haha ah i love you

[@deflepprocks1]

I just finished a granny square afghan but I wish I found this video first. It came out pretty but I cut the ends way too short and I'm afraid it will unravel someday. Thanks for a great technique.

[@chelsdeelambstolionsfitnes3593]

Thank you

[@iluminameluna]

Other than a slightly bulky dc, why wouldn't you just carry that straggler up into the "rafters"? I.e.: After carrying under those 1st dc's, just wrap it w/ the yarn overs and pull throughs and onwards w/ the the chains, at least for another inch. It sure makes it really secure and isn't in view .. I've tried it with RHSS and it doesn't seem too unsightly. Any thoughts?

[@jmrichardson109]

thanks, great method!

[@nehab2788]

Really helpful👍

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Glad to hear that

[@marydalton7266]

Do you have a crocheted quilts pattern

[@amalfatouma5405]

Thanks for this video the way to hide the loose ends is good for thick yarn It seems not suitable with Cotton and thin yarn .Isn't it ?

[@misohnchen]

Perfect!!!

[@chinewmarie]

Do you have a video that shows me how to make a Granny square just like this one before I add color? and I am a newbie so when making a Granny Square for a blanket is there a specific number of rounds that I should be starting with?

[@joycehanegraaf3210]

thank you, that was very helpfull!

[@jkdutton0313]

will this work with the "magic square" granny square? just use the same technique, correct?

[@lindaclarke5666]

Doing this weaving technique will the blanket hold together when you wash it?

[@MeritxellFarre]

Absolutely, the way it's done it's almost impossible to unravel plus the stitches hold the thread in place quite firnly.

[@Rev.Dr.Vanderbilt4778]

Fellow male crocheter and knitter here 😊 my technique is different, but aren't all ours lol love the videos. Just a little constructive criticism and I please hope you don't take offence 😢 but you seem to be going alittle too tight with your tension. This is the reason your square is starting to warp. Other than that it's perfect 👌🏼🧶🪡

[@77abundance]

Mikey would you know how to crochet a bulldog applique?

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Sorry we don't have instructions or a video for that Starla ...you may be able to find a pattern online for it though :) Cathy@The Crochet Crowd :)

[@carolineswelt]

Thank you! That´s so easy! I love your videos!

[@MsDiRyan]

I love this!!! Thank you for great tutorial!!!
