This was the first video that finally allowed me to make a whole granny square. The pace and explanations finally allowed it to click for me!

[@user-df9pf6ts4g]

Same here!

[@user-rc4cx3kj6v]

Lilthings is also really good in explaining

[@user-bh1rj5vg1r]

There are so many different granny squares. I use to know it by heart. Thank you. This is the square I taught myself when I was in high school. I am 71 years young 😊 and you saved my anxiety. This is what calms me down. I crocheted my mother who is 92 in her own apartment an afghan. It was a king size afghan. She still has it and it looks like new. I used this exact pattern. 😅😅😅 Thank you so much. I have subscribed to you. I'm so exhilarated. ❤❤❤❤

[@TheNervousKnitter]

Thank you… ❤️

[@baddie1shoe]

Your mom still has the king size afghan you made in high school and it looks like new? That’s so amazing!

[@Queen_Monkey]

I’ve been crocheting ALL summer and never made ANYTHING successfully. My sister started at the same time as me and i admit, MUCH better than me. But yesterday i actually made my first creation! A granny square from YOUR tutorial ❤❤ so i just want to say thank you so much! Also i made another one! I really wanna make a quilt out of them! ❤❤❤

[@Unknown-im3iz]

Ooo❤ I’m a beginner as well !

[@kristinecapasso4253]

Im 50 and randomly got interested in crochet and knitting. I struggled for years and have all the yarn just waiting to become something. I sorta gave up and just bought a knitting machine. The knitting machine is great but the desire to learn how to crochet never left. After years of trying I thought maybe if I can just learn a granny square. I watched this video over and over, I lost count. After starting and pulling everything apart time after time I finally got it! I’m so proud I wish I could attach a photo to this comment. I looked for the FB page but it wasn’t there then I noticed this video is from 2017. Anyway this is the start of something great for me 😊 and you’re a great teacher! Thank you!!

[@baddie1shoe]

Hi I’m 51 and I suddenly had the same desire. And I was so pleased with myself. Good job! I don’t think this is easy for everyone. It took lots of tries for me but felt like an accomplishment. :)

[@kelsivance1345]

I feel like this is the first real beginner's video I've ever seen! I felt like an idiot for not being able to do this. I deeply appreciate that you explain why you're doing what you're doing and show exactly which hole you are working in. Thank you so so so much!

[@jaynieblueyes2270]

I’ve watched so many and stop half way thru then say right finish off and I’ll see you at the next corner!! Whattttttt corner

[@DebraLavigne-nc6xf]

[@MarciaB12]

I love the shows where they talk vs the ones where they just play music and don't say a word. I've been given rude comments for not understanding!!

[@Unattuna]

Raise the flag and phone the neighbors! A beginners tutorial that actually behaved as if it were for...well, beginners. I found this video to be truly instructive (thanks for slowing things down!) and helpful on so many levels, but especially with regard to the geography of the square, and the way that geography changes as you add more rounds. Seems a simple enough concept, but nowhere in the dozen or so other videos I've watched was the pattern broken down to "dc 3, chain 2, dc 3". Six dcs is not the same as 3dc, chain 2, dc 3. NOW, after your vid, I can recognize the patterns of the stitches, and where the real holes are. After about 13 attempts this week, i was finally able to successfully crochet a granny square. Thank you!

[@TheChrissyfox]

Absolutely the best tutorial ever. Years ago I learnt to do this but totally forgot until now. I’m busy knitting kitten blankets so something different is most welcome! Thank you again!

[@widget2309]

I am new at crochet it's because of shutdown. I am 75 and so bored so I thought I'd give it a try your video is brilliant.

[@arliegash9678]

She is using way to small hook and skinny yarn to do a demo for beginners. Try watching demo by >hooked by Robin< for absolute begginers

[@yardner1963]

I am glad you told the beginners to turn their work on the Granny Square pattern because it will keep the pattern/square in a nice square shape. If a person does not turn their work the square gets a slant or sort of a spiral wonky shape. You have made a helpful tutorial 🧶

[@user-in9ww3wk2u]

I have never heard of turning your work when making a granny square, but that would make both sides the same instead of a front & back.

[@karenfeezor9789]

Thanks so much for going slow! I too paused often but I finally got it!!! Made 64 squares and have a beautiful blanket 💕

[@teresaritchie2177]

Well done …. I’m a beginner too, with my 10 year old daughter, wish me luck . 😅

[@HiiiiiiiPot8toTurtle]

64 squares?! I get to like 2 and then I’m like “that’s it, I’ve done something” and never finish the other 62 or something squares 😅 you’ve go a lot of time and patience - I’m proud of u! ❤

[@tlhill08]

FINALLY.....a tutorial that I can actually follow and understand! Thank you so much for this! I have successfully made my very first granny square!

[@Sk8erGurl1131]

First tutorial that really fully explained out just about every stitch! Because of this I can finally make a granny square!! Thank you!

[@baddie1shoe]

This is the first tutorial where I made something resembling a square. I am going to get a firmer yarn to start with. Thank you! You have a way of explaining things that is slow, simple, and the way you filmed it is perfect for the perspective.

[@dantypanty13]

Ive watched like a MILLION tutorials on how to do this and you explain it the best, i FINALLY got it!!

[@marycrank4096]

I learned more from this tutorial than any others. keep up the good work for slow learners.

[@FireflyInFreeFall]

Both my great grandma and my grandma tried to teach me to crochet for years but I just couldn't follow them but your video is so easy! Thank you for making it possible to carry on a family tradition that I thought I had lost out on 💙💚❤

[@loriharper3461]

You are phenomenal! I am a beginner, new to the art of crochet. I've learned so much from this tutorial than anyone. Many thanks for clear instructions.

[@thereselocke2766]

Yes 🎉 ❤!!!!

[@alyssajune1099]

This video deserves 1000000 stars. This helped me so much. I made my first square and I'm proud of it. Thank you. I just wished it showed us the whole square being made. Lol

[@savannahmarie6761]

I have tried to do this for YEARS and have given up every time in frustration! I've always been more natural as a knitter but I just finished my first granny square thanks to this tutorial and am excited to finally make the granny square blanket of my dreams! (Me, dramatic? Never. :P)

[@selectsesto4637]

I love this tutorial!!! ......it is so easy to follow and understand. I am Autistic so the slowed down version is great as my processing speed is a bit slower. I can now make lovely blankets thanks to you xxxx

[@Polastax]

This doesn’t get enough credit. Between the relaxed method and calming voice- my adhd finally clicked after failing for so long. Thank you!!

[@jordanhicks2213]

I’ve watched five or so videos. Then I found yours. I finally made a granny square thanks to you. This was an amazing tutorial. Thank you!!!!!

[@franklinmimi]

This was an excellent video. It helps so much to see a close of your hands working the stitches . I'm just a beginner 79 years old. Wish my mom would have done crochet and knitting so I could have learned it growing up. I know how to do a lot of the basic stitches , so now I'm practicing day with the granny square.

[@LindaKinzer]

Finally! I've crocheted for A couple years now and never tried to do granny squares until now. I've tried several other videos and was almost ready to quit! I'm so thank you for your video!

[@Cypresssina]

In theory I can make a granny square now. Practice will be a whole different animal. But you describe things so well I can almost feel the texture of the yarn and the weight of the hook. Thank you for the time and effort you put in!

[@minilove90]

This was the only, I repeat THE ONLY tutorial that taught me to crochet, and to be able to do it on my own. Thanks so much! Also, your voice is sooo similar to Mila Kunis, the entire experience of learning crochet from you is epic.

[@margaretlueck2844]

I understood very well

[@marycastro8226]

I’ve been crocheting for years, your video is the only 1 that taught me how to make a Grandma Stitch, thank you thank you thank you 🧶

[@darcydierksen708]

I was the same way Mary!!! Don’t know why but always steered clear of the granny squares!! (Maybe didn’t think I was “old enuf”?!) lol Happy crocheting

[@sammydoodle]

Been trying and failing for years to crochet and just couldn’t for the life of me figure it out and gave up but recently decided I wanted to try again and came across your video. Now I can crochet so thank you. Also now finding it easy after struggling for a long time. At the start of the video I struggled a little mostly with holding my working yarn but now I’m ok. :)

[@normamarimo609]

After a long and hard struggle i finally found a video that helped me get the granny square. You are an excellent teacher, thank you so much

[@GodandJesusSave]

I've been in the beginner stage for years... only doing single stitch potholders, blankets, etc. The granny square always confused me a bit. I am so thankful for your video. I think I finally got it, girl! I appreciate the time you took to explain this, SO MUCH! Thank you and have a blessed day! 👍😁✝️🌻🙋‍♀️

[@TheNervousKnitter]

You are so welcome… ❤️

Thank you for your patience in teaching me how to crochet. I watched you and learned how to crochet for my birthday last month. Your instructions were the best that I have seen on KZbin, and trust me I viewed a LOT. Thanks again.

started out as a granny square... ended up as a baby blanket, I enjoyed doing this so much that I just kept going

I literally watched an hour long video on granny squares and was beyond confused. Watched your 22 min video and I’m moving right along! Even changed colors with no problem! Thank you so much! This was absolutely amazingly helpful!!!

[@cannellechristy4883]

Thank you for sharing every detail of your crocheted Granny Square. This is exactly what the absolute beginner that I am need. I hope you can continue sharing every detail of your tutorials for absolute beginners.

Thank you Charlotte! I made my first granny square blanket for my son just by watching you video and following your instruction. I'm on a roll now. On to the next blanket.

I’ve gone through countless tutorials for granny square and was so amazed by my progress on this tutorial!! Thank you so much!!

[@Cindy-bo7gi]

I’ve watched this vid 10 times without success until I swapped the yarn I was using that was sturdy and less fluffy and then I could actually see and count the stitches clearly, I’m so proud I stuck it out and thanks for your video I’ve seen so many other creators but this is the only one that’s worked for me💕💕 for any fellow newbies I used a smooth acrylic yarn that fits a 5mm hook 😊

[@kendenta2207]

So much better than the other tutorials. New to me was beginning the work with the 3dc starting at each corner, the ch1 part and turning the entire work over to start the next round. Brilliant lady. Absolutely grand. 👍

[@Gelismom]

I can't believe I actually made the Granny Square thanks to you! 🤗 Thank you so much!!! Now I can try to make my daughter the blanket she's been wanting. 😀👍💖

I LOVED THIS VIDEO. THANK YOU! I have a lot of trouble staying focused when people talk about more than just the essentials in tutorials. You provided just the right amount of context without going on too long while you were explaining. I watched multiple tutorials and this one was the one that really helped me see and understand the pattern.

Thankyou from the UK on lockdown. I've watched loads of tutorials and failed ... with yours I've actually crocheted a granny square! Fisrt one i could keep up with. Well done.

I’m really new to this, so I’ve watched this over n over. So whilst I’m still struggling I’m kinda getting it. The problem is definitely all me as the speed is fine. So I certainly appreciate you taking the time to make something like this.

[@naomiw1662]

This is the best tutorial I’ve found ! ! ! You are thorough, simple in your explanation and even slow enough that I could crochet with you without having to pause the video multiple times, like I have to with other teachers. Thank you for a great tutorial experience!

[@leadmetopeacejeanie]

For the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I understand how to do a slip stitch to get the yarn on my crochet hook. For 45 years I've been holding the hook between my knees, and making a knot around the crochet hook. THANK YOU!!!! hugs, Jeanie

OMG You are brilliant! I (like so many others) have struggled to get my head around the simple basics of a granny square, sitting through heaps of tutorials, wasting TOO much yarn and usually just giving up! I admit it took a few rewinds/pausing of this video but with your help I FINALLY "got it" lol Think where my main issue was when knowing "when" to close the gap but once I got past that hurdle, was home and hosed😊😉Looking foward to more creative lessons😉

One of the best and easiest videos to explain the technique of making granny squares ,something I was not able to grasp earlier .Thanks for the wonderful video .

I can't tell you how thankful I am that you took the time to show this down. I've been crocheting for a bit now and everything I have made seemed a little "off" 🤔. The first stitch of 3 I never counted as a link 😲 so things just never turned out. Now, well.... dag, I'm making a huge blanket with double crochet and puff stitches using this pattern. I have to say, so far I love it!

[@NoFri11s]

Best tutorial I’ve seen for this! I could single crochet straight things and make a circle if I’m following a pattern but just could not get anything else to work! Two videos later I’m sincerely frustrated, I watch yours, and BINGO! Thank you!!!

I just started teaching myself how to crochet. My first piece was pitiful because I didn't have a clear understanding of where to place my hook into the yarn for a HDS. I also didn't know what it meant to turn your work. I made the prettiest granny square with your tutorial and gave it to my daughter as a gentle washcloth for my new grandson. I'm so glad I found your channel and you have a natural gift for teaching. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us beginners. Thank you!!

Helen ~ I hope your skills have improved with practice. If they have not you may want to check with your local JOANN store as they offer lessons in person.Your local yarn store most likely has people who can offer help or lessons. A little one on one teaching lessons could make all the difference. I know that is what made the difference for me. I started crocheting through a friend’s couple of in person lessons.
