Crochet a Perfect Seamless Granny Square (& no twisting!)

[@jacquelinecook6275]

Those wanting to join another colour ,i joined mine at the slip stitch at the end of the round you will then turn your work and do your chain 2 at the start of your next round in your new colour...hope this helps , great tutorial BTW :)

[@andie-gurumicrochet1032]

Brilliant thank you very much. I was wondering 🙂 I've just watched this video and I can wait to start my granny square ⬛❤

[@janinejen2901]

Hi. I’m new to granny squares. I have a stupid question. When you say join the color at the slip stitch, does that mean i do the slip stitch with the new color instead of the first one? TIA!

[@shannongg2014]

@@janinejen2901 no dear, it means finish round ending with a slip stitch and then join your new color (this can be done with a slip stitch as well, so I see where you can get confused) people have many ways of "joining", and one way is a slip stitch, some tie a knot, etc. I really hate to answer a question for someone else's work but since you didn't get a reply for 2 months I thought I'd give it a try. Also maybe watch another of her videos to see her preferred method of joining. I hope this helps *SMILES*

[@shannongg2014]

@@janinejen2901 ignore my first explanation and YES, if I understand what you're asking g, you do indeed add new color at the "second slip stitch"... oh my, I hope I'm not confusing you more, and have you made this pattern yet, of so, how did it go

Today, March 9th, 2023, I began a baby blanket with your helpful pattern. I knew how to crochet a granny square but did NOT like the big holes and seams it created. However, I enjoy working on this specific one. I work on it in between other baby blanket patterns. I donate them to less fortunate mother's to be. It's most gratifying to have the availability to do so. Thanks very much! God bless you.

I am in love with your method of making a slip knot! I'm also amazed at all the different ways people hold their yarn & hook and are still able to make beautiful crochet items, You're one of them... These videos have really opened my eyes. Love all the new methods & tweaks. I'm proof you can! teach an old dog new tricks... Have been crocheting 50+ yrs. and still learning & love it!

Me too 👍

[@pamelamoo5306]

This is exactly what I needed. Have been through many video tutorials trying to figure out how to make a continuous granny square to turn into a bag. Unfortunately I couldn’t understand her technique for the start of squares. I found this and I can see it exactly. You have clearly and patiently explained what to do. Thank you 🙏🏻 very much.🧶

[@hrdhededwm]

Thank you. Ive been making granny squares the wrong way for 40 years! Well not the wrong way just not the best way. Im really happy i found your video. Im making a gift for my daughter and it looks great from both sides.

[@janenewton835]

As a long term crotchet-er I found this site ‘popped ‘ up on my iPad. This young lady (the lovely hands ) holds her hook and works just as my granny taught me . Her explanations are clear and it could be used as a beginners’ tutorial. Really enjoyed it. I’m going to use up all my bits of wool. Thank you. All the best, girl!!

[@BlossomCrochet]

Thank you so much Jane, that’s so kind of you! 🥰 All the best to you too 🌸

[@lanna926]

I love your logic Ms. Blossom, my thoughts exactly. I have crochet for over 40 yrs, but in spurts/seasons. I was recently inspired, picked the crochet hook up once again. I watched tutorials from pretty much everyone in the youtube forum, some more than others. I love/adore your tutorials. I love all of the many different types of stitches, currently, I've been into the granny. I am working on a large, continuous granny square blanket, which i have had to restart because of flopping/twisting of the squared. I thought to myself, hmm, I bet it's because there are to many chains going on in the work. Viewing your tutorial, presented/confirmed my thoughts exactly. I don't subscribed to a whole lot of anything, only to that which makes sense/informative/inspiring. Your craft/tutorials/product are beautiful, simplistic informative, on point. Your British accent is a winner as well, thank you dear heart!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BlossomCrochet]

Thanks so much for your lovely comment 🥰

[@ironicirony2938]

@@BlossomCrochet Hi, I have been trying to ask you about the turning. I'm stuck on row 3. When I look at your video, it seems you turn opposite directions with each row? Row 2 your working yarn strand (not the tail) is on the back, row 3 it's at the front, row 4 at the back, etc. Is this correct? Because it's hard for me to remember which way I turned which each previous row. It would be easier if I just kept turning it the same way (in my case, is usually turn away from me). Can you please let me know if I saw it correctly? I'm still new to crochet and would love to make a blanket for my elderly mother 😊

Wow, I never thought of jumping to the next 'box' without chaining in-between! This seems to make it less holey, which I love. Funny thing though, I'm making my first granny square blanket but it's the solid granny square.. no holes (or little boxes) on the straight edges. You just do a treble crochet in each tc from previous row. My squares are only 6 x 6 inches. But the pattern calls for both solid granny squares and traditional ones so I will be making the traditional ones like you did. Thank you so much, I love it! 💛
