You are a GENIUS woman! Where have you been all my yarning life?! I wanna take a minute to thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ I've wasted so much time trying to perfect my Granny squares, and no matter what videos I've watched, or channels I've followed have helped much. THIS IS AMAZING INFORMATION and I'm so glad I found you. You mention, in one of your videos, the video took you forever to edit and get it just right. I'd like to thank you so very much for the time and effort you put into this, for those of us out here struggling w some string! 😊❤

Omg! I love you so so much just by your comment you remind me of my great grand mother she died with a healthy life 😢😢😢❤❤❤

[@Jojo-ym1hc]

That is insane! Im 11 right now and my mother taught me to crochet when i was 8, but im more actively crocheting since i was 10!

Love love love how clear your instructions are, how details matter & how you go step by step. Thank you ❤

[@LeahElliott-r8g]

I just made my first granny square and it looks so good! Thank you!!!

[@jamessong3393]

wow!! thank you so much, im an 11 year old girl who loves to crochet, but my granny squares always end up looking uneven or lopsided. the ‘slip stitching in the chain space’ tip helped so much! this video was so informative, i subscribed and saved this video to all my playlists!

[@North_North_West]

I'm 11 and learning to crochet, this was a really helpful tutorial!

[@karlagroom9715]

Mind blown here! I saved and tried it out immediately 🎉Thanks. I tried going in the same color as well and it still worked, turning after the ch 4 👏🏼

[@jcruz4114]

This is great basic knowledge of the granny square. Very clear and logically presented. Thank you.

[@suecorell1872]

Great info Brittany. Details are always welcome in a tutorial! Thank you! One question, when you eliminate the extra chain between sections, do you find it "stretches" your connecting stitch and it isn't as smooth, or is it just me? This would apply anytime you have to jump a long way between stitches. Thanks.😊

[@christinebenoit2911]

thank you , ive been trying for months to do a good granny square , this was so helpful

[@ellegh.a4238]

Thank you ..Great tips ..I applied the hook size tip, the ch 4 tip ..Also starting in a new corner ..work looks much better 😃 Thank you ..keep it up

[@duygudindoruk1026]

this was so helpful! thank you so much! I started crocheting around a year ago and your video has been the most helpful one, again thank you so much.

slip knot ch 3 slip st into first ch ch 4 3 dc in center ch2 3dc ch2 3dc 2ch 2dc in center then slip st opposite corner ch4 3dc 3dc ch2 3dc begins with ch4 and 3 dc in ch2 space and ends with 2dc and slst to ch-4 space ch4 3dc side edge 3d 1. EVERY ROUND STARTS THE SAME. 2. EACH SIDE GROWS BY ONE CLUSTER OF DC'S EACH ROUND. 3. THE CORNERS ARE WORKED THE SAME. 4. THE FINAL CORNER IS COMPLETED WITH TWO DC AND A SLST IN THE CHAIN SPACE. 5. THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGES FROM ONE ROUND TO THE NEXT IS THE NUMBER OF CLUSTERS BETWEEN THE CORNERS.

Thank god for you

[@VCO_TBF]

Loved it. I had a problem at first but in the end it came out beautifully thank you so much.

Great tutorial and I love the tips. Suggestion please. Could the camera be closer?. I find it so helpful when I can clearly see what's being done. Really enjoy your tutorials. Thank you.

[@nadeenyahya2296]

I replaced the chain 3 at the beginning with a magic ring instead is it okay though?

[@kasiaalicja6448]

idk why but my granny square became a circle, but it was the nicest circle i’ve done so thank you lmao

[@ttttttt284]

hey im a little confused, the written guide says to start every round with ch5 but in the video it says to start with ch4? thanks for the guide nonetheless

[@sandybenedict2941]

Yes, I’d like to know the answer to this chain 5 vs ch4 too.

[@hc9661]

Great tutorial as I am looking to improve. I am interested in the starting corner with a chain 4 and 3 doubles. How does this work if you wish to do a continuous granny square in one colour?

[@patriciamorales8565]

I wondered the same thing. I crocheted mine continuously. At the end of each round, after my slip stitch, I chained 4 and continued on. It didn’t come out lopsided. Sorry, please don’t be offended by my answer. I just noticed your question was unanswered.

[@hc9661]

@@patriciamorales8565 appreciate your advice. Thank you so much

[@chickadeeacres3864]

I;m making a tank top. Not crazy about the flipping. I prefer all the same sides facing the front, lean or no lean. As my piece will have a liner hiding all the loose ends, there’s no way I’m going to flip and show yarn LOL!

[@alisonbuchler6940]

saw your video on changing color with the magic knot rather than having a ton of ends to weave in. can you still avoid the granny lean by just turning your work and not starting in different corners? thanks!

[@lynno1568]

Thank you for the great tutorial! I finally was able to make Granny Squares. Your videos are understandable and easy to follow. My BFF loves the shawl I made from one of your videos. Looking forward to future videos. Amigurumi? Bags?

[@Someone-m3c]

Hi ineed just a bit of advice ❤ On my third round it started to curve 😢😂 But mistakes happen i know so i'm trying for the 5time😂

[@itslowtide4690]

What about flipping sides each round? That’s what I do, so the finished product, such as a blanket, look relatively the same.

[@Lolly912]

I did this method for my very first granny square ever! But all those ends 😭😂. For my second square, I’d like to try the magic knot but im worried about the granny lean. Any tips?

[@loraineok7038]

I hope ur pillows are warm

[@davehysom2636]

66, learning to crochet. What are you doing/how do you change colors? It went by to fast to figure out. Thanks!

[@coreyseigworth9822]

You can turn down the speed of the video. It’s called “play back speed”. ☺️☺️☺️ some times I have to turn the videos down, to really interpret what’s going on lol

[@christencilliers1328]

How much yarn is used per granny square assuming it was all one colour? I'm trying to estimate for a project. Pattern I bought is a bit useless.😊

[@Amakaebay]

Now how do i change color

[@ZoeViolet-uq9yz]

can you start with a magic ring please?

The speed you’re doing it at is too fast for me and not close up enough to see clearly what you’re doing

[@chloemckee6272]

You can change the playback speed by pressing the little gear button, to slow down the video 😁

[@CheeseCat_]

And for the far away problem, you can zoom in :D

[@Lin_Daniel]

You can’t ZOOM in on a tv screen!

[@CheeseCat_]

@@Lin_Daniel yeah, depends on what ya watching. I do recommend watching on a zoom-in-able

[@andreearusu371]

WHERE IS THE MIDDLE OF THE CIRCLE???😭😭😭

[@vivibibi4287]

Heyy! I ran into the same problem as you, so I made 4 chains instead of 3 to make the ring, and the ring was pretty easy to locate! It doesn’t alter the pattern in any way too :)

[@andreearusu371]

@@vivibibi4287 thank youu🤍

[@mei12335]

If you want visual help the chain is technically a rope right now so if you loop a rope there is a hole in the middle just hard to find cause it's chain

[@amirasamy1704]

Before you slip stitch, put a stitch marker on the line that you have formed (not in a specific chain) then slip stitch and the middle of the circle will be where the stitch marker is.

[@adeptexiao2431]

i personally had this problem, and now i just doing the magic circle

[@KatMatheson-tc5vr]

I found this video a little hard to understand as I am a beginner crocheter. I understand the terninology but the hook was moving too quicky for me to understand what was happening. I'm sure this would be good for an intermediate crocheter!

[@mdoeswhatever]

Thank you so much, I am a 11 year old who just started crocheting last year, took a 5 month break, but recently started getting back into it. I’ve tried another granny square tutorial but the middle would come out uneven, this tutorial gave me one of the most flattest, and perfect granny square I’ve made in my life. Thank you so much ! 🫶

[@S0fiaarpm]

Actually think you should record closer and do it a bit slower. I got so lost 😢

[@Alma8469]

If you go to the settings on the video you can slow down the playback. No matter how fast the creator records☺️! I find it very useful, specially on intricate patterns. ❤

[@zoyav7417]

For me - Round 1: Slip knot Ch3 Slip stitch into first st Ch4, Dc3 Ch2, Dc3 Ch2, Dc3 Ch2, Dc2 Slip stick into gap Round 2: Ch4, Dc3 Dc3 in next ch2 space Ch2, Dc3 (all in same gap) Dc3 in the next corner Ch2, dc3 Dc3 in the next corner Ch2,dc3 Dc2 in the starting corner Slst to finish Round 3: Ch4, dc3 in ch2 space Dc3 in middle gap Dc3 in corner, ch2 dc3 Dc3 in middle gap dc3 in corner, ch2, dc3 Dc3 in middle gap Dc3 in corner, ch2, dc3 Dc3 in middle gap Dc2 in last corner Slay to finish Round 4: Repeat round 3 with extra cluster of dc3 in the middle Round 5: Repeat round 4 with extra cluster of dc3 in middle Slst to end

[@Crafted_Cat]

Tysm this helped a lot! But I think u accidentally wrote "slay to finish" 😂😅

Dis is soooo helpful cuz the video was not so clear

[@beachchick7688]

That helped me another

I wrote this down. I wish with the videos they would also do written instructions

[@AngelOfU2]

Slip stitching into the corner space rather than the starting chain has absolutely blown my mind 😲 Thanks for sharing!

[@Kxvde]

I messed up somehow and it is a circle

[@themusicalboy26]

In the video, it’s ch 4 for every new row but the website says ch 5. What’s the difference?

[@KastanjeEvelyn]

Hi I’m a 13 year old girl that has been crocheting since 8 Thanks for the tutorial

[@holicdrm]

I think this is the best tutorial I've come across as a begginer with granny squares, I wanted to fix an old bed cover for a while and the pattern is the same!

[@handle-q]

i finally learned how to crochet q granny square after 3 years of crocheting even if mine looks pretty wonky❤

[@cabinfevercrochet]

Excellent tutorial, as always! Nothing like a good, basic granny; and especially made better with these updated techniques. So happy to see them making such a big comeback. 💗

[@ImaneNegro-cz5ue]

Weel I've got a granny circle instead of a granny square 😂😂😂

[@ElMundoMagicodeMissBetty]

I am a "hoker"😂 and KZbinr- in Spanish- looking for a granny square, I choose yours because it is very short. I am amazed by the way you explained every single detail. Thank you. I would definitely recommend you on my channel. I'm making matching tops for my daughter and granddaughter with this beautiful granny. Thank you. Sending you love and light ❤️

[@palomavillegas5384]

i’m not a beginner when it comes to crochet but somehow I always forget about the patter for granny squares but this one is ultimately the best one.

[@kerfuffle9312]

Great tutorial, and nice content here and on your blog👍. Just wondering…your blog instructions say to start every row with a chain 5. Is there a difference between the beginning round starting off with a chain 4 as demonstrated here as a chain 5 on the blog? .🤔. I am diving into the granny squares and just curious.

[@zinahburke1604]

Love the video but you left off how to end each round, I'm so lost. What do I do after I do the slip stitch at the end of the round? It's nowhere in this video at all and I'm so frustrated.

[@melissamailloux1951]

I watched this granny square for beginners video (m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKjRcqWgbK2XjtE&pp=ygUsaG93IHRvIGNyb2NoZXQgYSBncmFubnkgc3F1YXJlIGZvciBiZWdpbm5lcnM%3D) before watching the one above and it was very helpful for showing the details of what she talks about above. The video in the link shows how to change colours clearly

[@juliarisk1625]

Why does mine always look like a circle 🥲

[@kail2441]

THANK YOU, you are the 3rd tutorial I followed, as each of the previous tutorials resulted in frogging before I got to round 4 as I was NOT happy with how it was looking (heh, perfectionist? queen of frogging?). The tips you shared really make a difference! You have a new, happy subscriber 😆😆😆

[@gsheezalady]

I've been making granny squares for a few years but was looking for an easy tutorial for my 12 year old daughter. In the end, my granny squares look much neater. Learning about using a smaller hook really made a big difference. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@user-su4dv]

when crocheting granny squares with different colours for each round, i like to weave in the tails while i go so i don’t need to at the end. This tip saved me so much time so if you hate weaving in ends, it’s a good idea to work the tail in while crocheting around the square. Hope this helps 🩷.

[@accountuser5004]

Do you have any links or tutorials for that? Does that mean we just weave it and no ties or knots are needed?

[@lyndahoots]

This is exactly what I do so all I have to do at the end is snip the extra yarn. No weaving.

[@brentonangela]

Would love to know what you do if not changing colour? Do you keep going around or cut and swap sides? Thsnk you for your videos 😊 Angela

[@NegritaBrujita]

In your written instructions, you note to chain 5. Is it 4 or 5 chains??

[@michelenolastname]

Round 1. After joining the video says to Ch 4. The pattern says Ch 5.

[@sandybenedict2941]

My question too! 🤔

[@juliebeckom9724]

I LOVE LOVE the chain 4 at the beginning!! Thank you!

[@theastewart6721]

Hi Brittany. Great tutorial! The only thing I sometimes do different depending on the style of square I’m doing is flipping the square after every round. It makes a big difference for me. I see you covered this technique in your article! Great read! Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a wonderful 4th of July!❤

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

I aways smile with excitement to learn more about crocheting when I am notified of your newest VLOG!!! Many Thanks!!

[@littleleafy]

OMG I tried to learn Granny squares from a Magic Cabin booklet when I was like 10 and I could not figure it out. I tried so many times over many years. Eventually I gave up, even though I have made amigurumi and many other projects. Now you have taught me in under 10 minutes. Thank you!

[@grace.spider13]

You know the beginning square? I got a circle 😭

[@cannedbottles3257]

Help! I have a question- what do you do after you slip stitch to finish round one? What do you do between the end of round one and the beginning of round 2?

[@accountuser5004]

If you found the answer please tell me

[@jennysmith80]

@B.Hooked Crochet Your video says chain 4, but your website says chain 5. I’m assuming it’s a typo on website?

[@juliafigueroa4124]

hello! great video so far, im on my second color! im wondering how i get my 2 end DC to not make 1/4 of each round look big and wonky? yours look disguised somehow.

[@KittiesnCrochets]

As a beginner, I found using 4 DCs instead of 3 in the rows makes it look more full 😊❤ (still 3 in the corners)

[@laurensettle3899]

Is this a good project for a beginner who has never finished a project yet because my minds blow how great they look but not sure if Ill struggle 💕

[@Eveylen_Plays_Roblox]

The tutorial was really good, it helpful and informative for me as a beginner and I love my granny square! It’s super cute and nice I used white purple and black and it turned out beautiful!! Tysm so muchhh it was really fun to make and easy

[@alison2226]

I’m a beginner and I have a question. When slip stitching and ending a round how do you cut the old color and start a new color? I’ve always been confused as to how to end a round successfully :/

[@maud2rolland348]

Like you I don’t put a chain between the group of 3 since many years, I thought it was « too open « ..

[@_M3la_]

Can i make a bag out of them? Basicy make it bigger and join another square? I mean will the bigger version work too??

[@KimcheePancakes]

You left out a step I think? When I have completed one round, how do I tie it off so I can move onto the next colored round without the previous round unraveling?

[@MariaVelasquez-ue2oc]

Well explained and great tips but what to do with the yarn left when you change colour??? Thanks

[@Lin_Daniel]

Where is the granny square guide you referred to? You said 16 minute read. But I can’t find it.

I am so glad I found your channel. For over 50 years I have knitted and/or crochet . I love the look of granny squares but I have always really disliked doing them. Everything about the process would frustrate me. After watching this video and a couple others or yours, I am eager to tackle the once dreaded granny square. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Lunastoes]

So bad at explaining

[@janetstanley3645]

I prefer to use stacked single crochets instead of the chain 4 at the beginning of the round.

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

Weaving in tails can be a major pain, especially if you are changing colors in every round, and have a LOT of granny squares in your project, so here are two more tips to help. 1- Crocheting over your yarn tails, so you don't have to weave them in later. This helps in two different ways. You crochet them in over a longer area, so that your Granny Square doesn't get bulky or stiff in certain areas. Also, again, nothing can be more daunting than having 60 or more squares, all with at least 4 or 5 tails to weave in, before you start putting them together. 2- STITCH MARKERS ARE YOUR FRIEND!!! Each time you start a new round, simply add a stitch marker to that corner, ESPECIALLY if you crochet over your tails. That way, you when you put the granny square down to pick up the new yarn, you KNOW which corner you started with on the previous round, and just start in the next corner, moving your stitch marker once the corner is made. Which goes back into the tip for preventing the granny lean. And stitch markers can be ANYTHING. A scrap of yarn that's different from the colors you are using, a safety pin, a chip clip, a lobster claw clasp, or you can spend a few dollars and purchase stitch markers - either the simple plastic ones that come in a pack, or cute specialty ones that people make to sell.

[@rackets001]

So you were one of the first video tutorial makers I learned to crochet with several years ago. Can I just say, your video editing quality is so much improved! Though I still get made fun of by my teen and 20 something kids and my brother that dad has a "crochet bag"! 😆😆

[@secrethero123]

Hear me out....all legendaries 24 hours

[@morgenbjj]

I love this in theory and im going to try again. I did the beginning correct ch 3 st into 1st chain, chain 4 then all the dc and chains. At the end joining it to the first part, mine looks off. I'm super confused what you did. Mine looks like its missing a corner. Will go back and review but maybe someone can help me out.

[@morgenbjj]

Is the chain 4 at the beginning supposed to eventually become the corner at the end? Mine looks weird

[@Lin_Daniel]

It would help if you spoke what you are doing as you’re doing it for every stitch in the tutorial. You kind of leave us hanging assuming we see the steps you are doing.

[@demaupin]

The tips about the basic foundation & how much they increase each round, and _especially_ how to correct the "lean" are game changers! Thanks so much!! It'd be great though if you could dial back the muzak & keyboard typing sound effects - they recreate the unpleasant feeling of being hold with a utility company lol. I know most people can tune out the background, but many of us can't , and it makes it much harder to focus & learn!

[@margaretg6161]

How do you do this when you aren't changing colors? Fasten off and change corner

[@notvenya]

If you don’t want to use the tips, start from the corner. If you do, then yes just do what she’s doing without colors

[@marbal]

Y como escondes las obras de diferentes colores?
