This personally was still a little too fast for me, but when I use the slow down feature, it works out perfectly!

[@minerva4711]

Thank you for making this!! Ive been just doing the basic stitches for years bc thats all my grandma taught me before i went to college, but now i feel like ive levelled up!! Thank you so much for this easy-to-follow video!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@loridavis7086]

You saved me!!! I was trying to follow a written pattern and every square looked sloppy around the join … until I followed your tutorial that made it so clear. Thank you!

[@HeatherMendoza]

i dislike written patterns they are so confusing

[@mizzmickey82]

Omg omg I just made my first granny square watching you I know how to crochet but the granny squares use to give me so much trouble girlllllllllllll thank yoooooouuuuu

[@AltKnots]

Congratulations on your make!🎃

[@melissaelleby4101]

I absolutely love the is tutorial. I like it because it’s different from the traditional way of crocheting a granny square. Although, it’s different, I understood what was happening. I like it. I can’t wait to make a bag of these square. Thanks for the great tutorial! ❤

[@Uhm12]

*BEFORE COMMENTING READ THIS!!* Everyone is complaining about how they don’t know how to do different stitches and complain about how she expects us to know… *SOLUTION* = WATCH A QUICK SHORT ON HOW TO DO THE STITCH!! You could even make a playlist of shorts on how to do different stitches so in case you forget you can always watch it again!! *Use you’re common sense and don’t hate on this AWESOME tutorial!!* ❤️

[@melissaelleby4101]

Agreed!

Yh this tutorial was so helpful😊

Or just keep complaining and pretend to ignore your long comment.

@@beautifuldiva0208 I’m sure the creator would love that

[@srtom452]

If you’re a beginner crocheter I would NOT recommend you keep watching until you know most of the common stitches and such, else you will be confused, I still consider myself a beginner but others say otherwise, I feel this helped me understand solid granny squares more as someone not liking them at all and trying to avoid them but here I am watching this to create a arm sweater ☺️

[@rebeccagreen2219]

Thankyou for this granny square it is unusual and beautiful. You teaching style is clear and concise ❤

[@Beaker4Remps]

Yay! Thank you, others say solid but they are not as solid as this one. Just what I’ve been searching for. Great tutorial.

[@jasminstepien]

Finally a tutorial that worked (at least for me) ❤️, even though I needed to start over two or three times, because I lost my count 😅, it came out perfectly at the end 🤩

This was perfect. I’m going to try this with the video slowed down step by step

[@constancejohnson3463]

This will be my first solid granny. Starting now!

[@EvilBunnyGlobal]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I was new to crocheting and feeling overwhelmed because everything seemed so complicated, but I was able to follow this tutorial. My work quickly improved from my first try. I stitched the squares I made from my first practice yarn into a scarf that shows my progress as it goes from lopsided at one end to nicely shaped with even stitches at the other, though I had to leave out my very first attempt because I mixed up the double crochet stitch with the half double crochet and made an oddly sized amoeba shape. I actually learned how to properly do the double and triple crochet from slowing down this video and watching carefully. I had tried to learn how to crochet before, when I was a little girl, but I didn't get very far between school keeping me busy and my neurological stuff making fine motor skills difficult when I was younger. I started taking an interest in crochet again recently, but I was uncertain about actually doing it because of the memories of how daunting it was for my childhood self. Then I saw your Crochet 101 series and watched this video and thought "I can do that," and I could. After practicing this granny square until I could make it nicely from memory, I got the confidence to try other projects. At this point I have tried a lot of different things and gotten more of a feel for how crocheting works, and it was this tutorial that helped me get started and build confidence and skill.

[@KlapkaCieZje]

Amazing tutorial, easy and quick! First one when i learned something😭 Thank you !!

[@IBobbi]

Thank you I can finally do a grannie square & definitely will use your video for reference 🥳🥳🥳

[@ZiriO]

Love your tutorials! I'm so going to make myself a cute cardigan or something with this square, watching all your videos lately has given me SO MANY fun ideas for projects!

[@Jondelius]

What is the sequence at 4:45 that we're supposed to repeat 3 more times? Is it from doing 1 dc in the next three stitches? or 2 dc in the same (after the chain 4) and then 1 dc in the next three stitches? I keep ending up with too many stitches and I'm doing pentagons...! Sorry, I've started learning over the holidays and this is the only granny square pattern I like on YT, so I'd love to get this down. But I'm being dim.

[@Kiertiana]

It's the {1 dc in next 3, 2dc-tr-2dc } that you want to repeat. adding a second set of 1dc x3 is probably what's making you off. The full round pattern should look like this (taken from a comment above) round 2: ch 4 2 dc into same space 1 dc into next 3 stitches corner: 2 dc, 1 tr, 2 dc all in same stitch 1 dc into next 3 stitches corner: 2 dc, 1 tr, 2 dc all in same stitch 1 dc into next 3 stitches corner: 2 dc, 1 tr, 2 dc all in same stitch 1 dc into next 3 stitches corner: 2 dc, 1 tr, 2 dc all in same stitch 2 dc into next stitch 1 sl st stitch into 3rd chain of ch 4

[@user-jf9of2kw3m]

my first attempt looks great! thank you!!🥰

[@constancejohnson3463]

Question? If I just want to keep going bigger..does each row increase by 4? It seems so,3,7,11. Would that be right? I have soooo many ideas planned just based off this.ill be following you! Keep up the great work!!🎉

[@clsmith614]

what was the answer for this or what did you do?

[@GivaEu]

1 round Ch 5 Sl st in 1. chain Ch 4 Inside cirle 3 DC Tc in circle 3 DC in cirle Tc 3 DC Tc 3 DC Sl st in 3rd chain Round 2 Ch 4 In the same space 2 DC (3 DC, 1x corner st) 3x Last st 2 DC Sl st in 3rd chain Round 3-4 The same but 7 and 11 DC after those corner stitches

[@lizmakeswhatever]

This is a great tutorial, but the big gaps where the chain 4 is on every row was driving me crazy. It took me making 8 entire grannies to realize if you slip stitch into the very top chain (4th from the bottom instead of 3rd) it eliminates the gaps. Just thought I’d share for others. I was planning to make a long patchy sweater with these but I’m just gonna use the gappy ones on the back. The back doesn’t count. 😂

[@Kiertiana]

I literally was reading through these comments trying to find if someone had a solution to this because the same thing happens to me. It is driving me batty because it was the ONLY part where there were "holes." Thank you!!!!

[@Callme-sols]

I didn’t understand it 😭😭😭

[@briaunalincoln4435]

when you say repeat the process but don't clarify which part to repeat is very confusing, every outcome I have tried looked weird. Super disappointing because it was going good until then. Still a pretty good tutorial but this lil square is going to go unfinished.

[@ThisIsACreativeName]

Why won't my hands do what i tell them too 😭😭

[@reereedeedee]

well I'm stuck at the (repeat that sequence three more times) idk what im repeating...

[@jennaaa19]

Same! I tried repeating the 2 double crochet, 1 triple, 2 double but it ended up looking so weird

[@jennaaa19]

Oh i looked at the other comments and so what you have to repeat is: 1 double crochet in the next 3 stitches, 2 double crochet, 1 triple, 2 double crochet…..

[@reereedeedee]

@@jennaaa19 wow thanks for that! I got it now.

[@katrinasuber6222]

Thank you. This was great. It was easy to follow. I actually made this in no time. I made my skirt black and red. It came out beautifully. Many compliments. Thank you.

[@MakiSmolRoll]

I got a step wrong and ended up with a granny polygon 💀

[@kalechip8129]

I TOTALLY get everyone being really confused at the "repeat 3 times" part because once i get to a third part it's too far from the other side to make the corner without making this big bulging piece on the side but what i did instead and now it looks like a square was to do 2 more corners and then instead do the 3 dcs, then in the stitch after i did 2 dc and didnt try to make another corner and that actually looked more like a square. Idk if that makes any sense or if it will look okay as i continue but we will see

[@kalechip8129]

Okay so those 2 double crotchets at the start of the round connect with the 2 at the end to make that last corner if I'm looking at mine correctly. I don't do a third 2dc, 1 tc, 2dc, i just make 2dc and that connects with the starting piece rather than making 4 corners plus the starting part ends up with 5 corners.

Thank you for showing me how to do one big square the most discouraging part of learning is that I can’t finish any thing and this gives me something simple to follow easy to do and I now have a flat and consistent piece to show my work progress with practice squares

[@batstitchcrazy4627]

Thank you for this!! I have tried so many different patterns and tutorials for the solid granny square, but mine would never be flat, they would get all wavy. Yours is perfect! 💚

[@Isnotanapple_]

So if my math is correct Basically you add 4 DC in every round except the 1st round ig Cuz Round 2: 3dc round 3: 7dc round 4: 11dc Can't believe I just did math DX Correct me if I'm wrong tho

[@clsmith614]

what was the solution? did you add 4 dc in every round?

[@burstguitar3192]

I love this tutorial! However (and this is most definitely because im a beginner) my squares keep coming out wonky (like ruffly??) And all different sizes (in sure its a tension thing but idk). If anyone could give me some pointers and some help id greatly appreciate it 😭😭

[@shaeb.7488]

Idk what I’m supposed to be repeating after 4:45 🥲 I wish you had shown it even just sped up 😭

u did not go slow and what the how can we do that

This tutorial was excellent - easy to follow, clear, and well-paced. Thank you for teaching me a new granny square!!

[@Bellllllz]

This is a really easy to follow tutorial, thank you! I couldn't find one that was easy to learn while using wool since it's so hairy. Do you think I could just keep repeating until I reach 10x10 inches? Edit: yes, I was able to reach 10x10 inches 🎉the increase is 4 on each side each round. and for anyone wondering, it's totally possible if you wanted to make a giant 1 square, granny square, blanket using this method.

[@alleee0805]

5:20 don't mind me, this is just my timestamp

[@reelqueer]

In Round 2, when we “repeat three times”, are we repeating from the beginning? Ending with 2 doubles in the same stitch and then starting again by chaining four? Or is what we’re repeating the 2DB, 1TRP, 2DB? And if so, is it all in the same stitch? That’s where I keep getting thrown 🫨🫨🫨🫨
