[@CrochetwithClare]

Welcome back :)

[@HarleyKimmee]

Thx for this. Fairly new to crochet...I was frustrated at my "bowl" shaped square until I realized I was only doing 3 stitches per corner instead of 6 haha! My goal is your granny square cardigan/jacket. Can't wait!!

[@CherryBerry48]

[@CrochetwithClare]

it is amazing how different a granny can look with just using different colours. love a good granny

[@karensemones9302]

Excellent video and I love your accent and pleasant voice. Keep up the good work. The speed that you work is perfect and the work is close enough that I can actually see where to place the hook. Have a blessed day.

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@michelleevans2498]

@@CrochetwithClare hope all is well💗🦋🧸🙏

[@redeemedByJesus79]

Thank you so much for this.I have learned so much by your videos :)

[@BJKage]

You are totally right. I love the granny squares, but I never liked the corners, they are too loose, I´ll start to put only one stitch in. Thanks But I do not use the needle for the ends I just work them in, it is less time and more secure for washing the Afghan.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you for your message and thank you for watching :) Happy crochet

[@asiacrochetbutterfly]

I never do a granny square ever Always afraid to do it But you make it so easy with this tutorial I'm thankful to you my dear 😘❤🌷so much love From Baghdad-iraq🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Asia, Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and for watching my video

[@Slivings911]

I made a granny square Afghan for my husband using the magic ring method for the centers, and a couple of the squares of have come loose, with holes in the center which I need to repair (some day, lol!). I’m not sure why. I may have done them incorrectly but I don’t trust the magic ring now for things that will get a lot of use or that will need to be laundered at some point. I like to use it for other things, though, especially for fine yarns or thread work where you don’t want that lump.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Sherrie Livingston thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. So sorry to hear about your squares coming undone. I do have a video on one that I had to fix. It is not a traditional granny square but it should help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWW0gquhptWgq9E

[@Slivings911]

bobwilson123 Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you. 😊💖

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there, you can contact me though my website, the link is under the video :) thank you for watching

[@amitrinem1548]

I loved your video and it was very helpful but there were a few spots I didn't know what to do because I was using one color. Like the third row I didn't know how to get to the corner with my one color.

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to your message, my computer broke and I am only now catching up with the messages YAY that is so exciting !!!!

[@tasha8902]

What hook size are you using? Where did you the hook your working with?

[@elayneepperson1]

oh Clare you make it look so easy! my squares are all uneven and yours are straight and look normal or as they should. Is this from you having done crochet all this time or is it something I am doing wrong. Tension I would think is the answer, love to watch your videos, sometimes several times in order to "get it" thanks

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there I am using a 5mm hook and I got the hook form a lady on facebook, but at the moment her page has shut down :( her name is moon shadow threads thank you fro watching my video

[@bev692]

I love these colors can you pls share the they yarn brand name and the colors that you use for this granny square

[@CrochetwithClare]

bev692 Hi I used Red Heart Super Saver in different blues and white for the border

[@ucanleaveyourhaton]

Hi Clare, can you tell me what size/type of wool you use for this granny square ? I don't know anything about sizing and weight etc, but I like the look of the wool you use in your tutorials when you make granny squares, because your finished product looks great. Thanks heaps....

[@CrochetwithClare]

I use Red Heart Super Saver yarn, it's a worsted weight.

[@carrieheim2248]

Thanks for the great video! Curious could you use the granny squares to make a hat? Do you know of a video of it? Thanks :-)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Your welcome, Yes I am sure you can :) Type it into google images for inspiration :)

[@brandyn4432]

Hi there! I learned to make the granny square from the other video of yours, (Semi Solid Square), and I noticed a couple differences in the way you make the two but I was wondering if there is any difference in the way you would switch colors if I were making the other type of square, or if it's all the same in the long run.

[@ameliaparrenin8379]

Could you post a slower version or the beginning?

[@conneekay]

I'm using the Granny square pattern to make throw pillow tops. The bottom of the pillow will be a faux fur. How would you suggest I join the two before I insert the pillow form? I've made over 30 afghans with the granny squares, mostly baby size, with left over yarn that I've been given. Granny squares are addictive. Thank you.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello conneekay I think if you join before you put the insert in it will be much easy to do :)

[@rebawhitley6716]

Do you have your tutorials on DVD? I'd love to have them on DVDS for when the computer is down.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Reba Whitley Hello, Sorry I do not have them on a DVD

[@rebawhitley6716]

:-(

[@ucanleaveyourhaton]

oh yeah... what size hook are you using, also ? thanks...

[@CrochetwithClare]

I use a 5.5mm hook when working with worsted weight yarn.

[@marydalton7266]

What size hook you use for granny squares

[@CrochetwithClare]

hello Mary, the hook size used will vary depending on the size yarn you use. I will usually use one size smaller than what the yarn recommends due to the fact that I have very loose tension, but I recommend using the size hook your yarn recommends.

[@nikkisclafani9882]

Hii! I am in the middle of trying to make a granny square blanket and I've noticed that some colors of my red heart medium yarn are thinner than other colors. It's preventing me from being able to mix certain colors together for my squares bc the squares come out smaller with the thinner yarn. Do you have any suggestions for how to incorporate the thinner yarn? I appreciate any input you have on this!! Thanks for all your tutorials, you have taught me a lot!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Nikki Sclafani I can hear your frustration ! The only thing i can think of is to maybe use a bigger hook with the thinner yarns ? Hope fully this will give you the same size square as the thicker yarns. but i can understand that would be a pain the behind :( thank you so much for your fabulous feedback and thank you for watching my videos

[@twilajohnson2313]

I've been making squares that look almost exactly like that one for a few weeks now. Hmm...

[@momandsoncookingshow3623]

When I am doing the dc into the hole, I seem to get a wad of yarn going and then it doesn't look like a pattern. How do you keep things neat when doing the dc into the hole? Is it holding or turning as you go? It should be so much easier. Thank you.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello can you email me a photo to [e-mail] or share a photo on our Facebook page and we can see what is happening and that might be easier to give you advice :)

[@momandsoncookingshow3623]

Okay, I shall do that in a day or so. Thank you!

[@carolbaesler3963]

Is this the granny square for the sweater? Thank you

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes you can use this :) This is what I did on mine

[@carolbaesler3963]

Thanks love you

[@kristenrowberry]

Mine looks nothing like yours.. driving me crazy.. mine almost looks circle

[@CrochetwithClare]

Kristen Rowberry Hello, if yours looks like a circle you have missed the corners some where :)

[@kristenrowberry]

I have tried it many times..lol will keep trying.

[@catiel9142]

For some odd reason mines looks nothing likes yours which is bothering me so much!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Catie L Hello can you send me a photo or share it on facebook ? [e-mail] facebook.com/bobwilson123KZbinCrochetVideos

[@broccloi]

I got really frustrated really quickly. I don't know what any of this means

[@CrochetwithClare]

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there, sorry for the slow reply, I have been on vacation for 2 weeks :) My email address is bobwilson123 @ hotmail .com . au with out the spaces of course :)

[@emilyisawesome10]

Hi Clare! I'm 13 and I'm making a blanket that I would love to show you, is there a place other than your Facebook that I can send a picture to?
