My Granny taught me how to crochet and make granny squares when 53 years ago. I've made numerous blankets, bags baby clothes etc. Blackberry stitch is one of my favourite stitches to ring the changes in granny squares-and Charity Shops my regular yarn supplier. One of the tips I offer those I teach, is the importance of getting a comfortable way of holding both hook and yarn- and away to go🌼

[@bhookedcrochet]

So true! That always seems to be when the lightbulb moment happens - when holding the hook and yarn finally click!

[@peachyemi870]

@@bhookedcrochetSo true! I’ve taught crochet classes before and it’s always very rewarding to see the person you’re teaching finally get their first stitch. Some people show their excitement more than others-but I will always remember that moment being one of the best!

[@user-sr6yp7dy6g]

​@@bhookedcrochetOMG yess! Moment my tension wasn't tight anymore, something clicked! I go way faster and my projects look better! 😭

[@malshekh2002]

I love the idea of chain 4 not 5 at the beginning of each round, the square looks better and stitches look neat. Thanks! 🌸

[@brookeb7750]

This may be one of the best crochet tutorials I’ve seen! I’m an intermediate beginner so the pacing was great but I love how you covered the basics for each round and why - it helps make it stick in my brain more!

[@madyshanine7416]

I cannot begin to thank you enough for this tutorial! I’ve watched several other solid granny square tutorials and I always got lost somewhere or they just weren’t clear enough with their instructions. Your tutorial was short, to the point, and I was able to keep up with you!

[@songsofloveresistance8549]

I use 4 chains, but i also usually slip stitch into the chain, then chain space because i find it makes the last but one double crochet in the round easier to place. Love how smooth the cloth of each square is done this way.

[@silverteen06]

That tiny square is so cute ❤

[@reneegencur2469]

Great tutorial! I love the “recipe” approach. It will make crocheting on the go so much easier. Thanks!

[@cloverlygirl]

Thank you so much for this pattern! I'm so glad I come across your video, your pattern is so clean. I've always had a problem with the joins when starting a new row. Thank you so much! I did half double crochet and started with 4 chains. HDC feels too tight so i didnt include the first stitch she did after the "corner" basically skipped that and went straight to the very first visible stitch. Came out well as long as the sides have equal stitches! Thank you again!

[@kreactivekc]

This video was so helpful!! It’s hard to find tutorials that are so easy to understand but on my first time watching this, I was able to crochet this granny square!!

[@debbienewman7923]

Thank you so much for another great instructional video. I can always follow your instructions and that means a lot when you are trying to learn new patterns. This video is easy to follow and not a race to the finish. It really allows me to follow and learn something new. Thanks for an amazing video.

[@patriciabarajas7925]

Thank you thank you! I’ve never been able to make granny squares and it was so frustrating. I followed your instructions and now have my very first perfect granny square! ❤

[@rebeccabenedict158]

I will second what others are saying. Best crochet tutorial ever! I didn’t finish it feeling confused about anything. Thank you!

[@carolineatkin6075]

If this tutorial feels like too much for a beginner or too fast - go to Bella Coco’s how to crochet a granny square (it’s a normal, not solid one) finish one of those, then come back. I just did my first granny square with her tutorial, and it allowed for this one to make sense and be doable!

[@cathymartin3379]

Bella coco also has a video for a solid granny 😊

[@mymoment11]

If the video is going to fast you can slow the speed of the video using your settings.

I love the way you start the solid granny Square . Thanks for a gret tutorial . Love and Hugs .

[@jamiecee4960]

Had to refresh my memory on this one. So easy. Thinking of making a Scrap blanket. 🙂 Thank you for easy instructions.🙂 I saw a blanket using different sizes of these. I thought was neat.

[@claremalmborg1864]

Thank you so much for such a clear to understand tutorial, as a newbie I have full confidence now to make my granny square as big as I want to now, will definitely be watching more of your videos… my aim is to make a granny blanket out of all random squares 😀

[@bowlofsuga]

This was perfect for me. I’m honestly glad I came across it, since I’ve been struggling for two months now to get the hang of the square but everyone else was proving hard to keep up with. Really grateful for this tutorial ❤

[@barbaraveno5372]

Loved this video. This the first time I have watched a tutorial where the math for the pattern has been explained so well! Thank you!

[@lisaverburg7093]

THE BEST INSTRUCTION VIDEO EVER!!! This is the first person that helped me fix my starting corner. It is finally the same size as the othersothers. THANK YOU

[@bhookedcrochet]

Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words, and I'm so happy it helped it all finally click!! Yay!

[@nnn7886]

Thank you so much!!! Ive been struggling with this square but you made it so clear!! Will be exploring more of your channel!😊

[@bhookedcrochet]

Happy to help!!

[@Fishfan347]

I started two weeks ago and this tutorial was super easy to follow! Note: I used a magic ring instead of the chains in the beginning and that works too. 😊 Thank you so much for this tutorial! ❤

[@debrapete995]

Thank you for an exceptional tutorial and the bonus of special tips and tricks.

[@shortfatandangry]

Thank you so much for this. I was trying to follow a pattern and I was coming up with a open space beside the chain two space and I was getting so frustrated because I was doing what they said too! This makes so much more sense!

Best tutorial I've seen for the solid granny square. I'd be interested on your thoughts on the blocking board, which do you prefer, the gridded goam mat or the board you used in this video.

[@xgaoeyx4265]

** I really love how you explain your work by visual and in text! BUT I would love if you could do anothing granny square tutorial by showing all the steps by steps. I am a visual learner and can learn crochet lessons from strep 1 to the end. I really enjoy your vidoe edits and how you can fix your mistakes and make it your own with what makes it works for me. I am a self-taught and would like to still try makeing an granny square from your vidoe here. Wish me luck!!

[@Green_skitlesss9500]

See, when I was trying, this, I’m not sure if I was doing it wrong, or something, but the side where you chain 5, just wasn’t looking good. It was too big, and just looked messy, so instead, after finishing the very first row (so making the corners) I chained 4 instead of 5, did that row, and instead of slip-stitching and chaining 4/5, I just did I the regular corner pattern. It looks much neater now, and it looks more like a square without blocking it at all. Hope that this helps anyone with my problem!❤

[@cathymartin3379]

I'm trying to continue this into a blanket instead of individual squares altogether, I was wondering a what spot would you change colours in the corner? I'm guessing to end the last DC with the new colour (in the last y/o) before that first ch4 forvthe new row, but wanted to check lol. Thank you.

[@micheljayne]

Hi, I am looking for your free purse pattern. cant find it. Thanks!

[@moon_lightart]

Do you think I could use a slightly larger hook for making this

[@junie3399]

I used a hook that was a little too big and it worked, but everything was kind of loose and sloppy. It looked much better when I finally got the right size hook.

[@lynsroze]

Do you block the squares before you join them to other squares?

[@sherriboswell469]

Love your tutorials. But I am attempting to make the solid granny square for the navy blue purse. I am using a 4.0 hook with the Lily cotton yarn and when I complete 5 rounds my square is 6 inches square. Your web blog says a square will be 4.5 square. I am crocheting with the smallest hook I believe would work with this yarn and I don’t think I could ever the size to 4.5 square. Are you sure that’s the right measurement on the blog?

[@sandrapalmer5642]

Love

is that kind of granny square is good for blanket?

I appreciate the tutorial very straightforward but why did you set us up at the chain 5😢

[@antoinettehenson951]

I been making them making them wrong

[@corneliastreet2491]

Tutorial WAY TOO fast and confusing 😭 I am so stressed and confused. You don’t show which stitches, you don’t give time to show the same stitch 2-3 times you just assume the viewer understood and did it perfect in time with you, leading me to rewind multiple times over the same section. I have been crocheting amigurumi and c2c for ages and never have trouble following stitches or patterns but this video was so overwhelming :( Edit: instead of just complaining bc I am frustrated, I realized this seemed very harsh. I can see a lot of people enjoyed this tutorial and found it very easy to follow. So here is the part that confused me the most 1. It’s hard to follow exactly which stitches you are crocheting into. If it were slower or more deliberately explained, I think it would be easier to follow 2. I got confused and ended up with a totally different number of stitches at the end of each round, so in addition to knowing exactly which PART of each stitch to crochet into, it would be the most helpful to know how many stitches should be on each side as you go and where, so that you can check that you are following along in the same way as the pattern as you go. Instead of 3-7-11 stitches on each side, I somehow had 3-6-9 stitches, and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. It was very confusing following this pattern exactly as you said but not knowing why mine was totally not matching up with yours 😭 I think maybe I am crocheting into the wrong part of the stitch or doing the corner wrong? Someone please help ❤
