I LOVE THIS METHOD! You’re so sweet to teach this. You’re the best! ❤

Thank you so much!🥰🧶

Breadcrumbs from your hexagon tight join as you go video, which I very much enjoyed.

[@jeniprickett4039]

You are brilliant, Robin! Thank goodness the internet exists! ❤I love this so much

[@RARenni62]

Oh, I love this method of joining! Joining is the reason I don’t do many grannies! I will be trying this soon! Thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@sarah-janeallsopp3155]

Very very lovely. And super clear and helpful. Will be giving this one a go. Thanks heaps. Love watching you stitch away. Cheers from Western Australia.✌🏻💜💙💜💙

Thank you Sarah-Jane for all your support.🧶🥰

[@nicknamesareoveratedisme7300]

This looks much clearer to me on how this method should done. I was thinking of avoiding JAYG but your video gives me more confits give it a go - thank you.

You’re welcome, it is a great way to join!😃

Thank you so much Robin for being there for every crocheter in a pinch! ❤❤

You're so welcome!🤗

[@carrietownsend72]

Love this. This is going to be my go to joining method as I hate sewing squares together ;)

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

I love this but I wish you could of shown three across and how to attach the other three squares together. I am such a visual person. I get how you attached the two together but am loss as what to do next. You are a great teacher, but I need a bit more visual. I followed a cal where we did eight rows across and eight rows down, next we learn the border, it was the cluster granny squares. I do hope you consider doing three across and 3 down so we can see how the rows are attached, thank you for your consideration,this is far the best I have seen and I thank you.

[@HookedbyRobin]

I can absolutely show how to pick up the next row yes! I'll film that for you next week so it should be ready by Friday for you - that way you'll know how to tackle picking up the corners :-)

[@TheBibliophagist]

Thank you for this! I'm making a bunch of merge granny squares (2 sides granny stitch, 2 sides solid) and this is just what I needed! 💕

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re welcome, I’m so glad it helps.😃

[@salamanda11]

This is amazing! I wish I knew this a year ago when I was making a big solid granny square blanket!! Will definitely be doing this next time.

[@annagail69]

Thanks Robin, I have always had issues on joining my squares together. This video helps.

[@amandacarter6611]

I like your blue nail polish. Thanks for video this was slow enough that l could follow (see other's but way too fast)

[@lomarenr1598]

Loved your tutorial. I love the look of how flat the squares are after joining. Recently a friend asked if I knew how to join them once all squares for her blanket was completed. I did but I wish I had seen your video before she asked. II will share this video with her and she can make all her future blankets with your method of joining if she so chooses. Thank you for sharing your talent and expertise with us. I for one am grateful. 🥰

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much!

[@jyslouey]

Thank you for the video tutorial on joining solid granny squares as promised earlier. I was a tad disappointed that you stopped at two squares but after reading the comments I realised that you'll be making another video for joining the second row where diagonal corners are involved. I'm really looking forward to this. Thank you again for your tutorial.

[@HookedbyRobin]

I'll be filming that tomorrow so it should be ready by Friday! Totally my error on that part so I'm set to rectify that asap! :D

[@Sarahlinii]

Very clear and concise instructional video! Thank you so much for this! I just adore your channel; you’re remarkable! I’m still very inexperienced with joining squares to form blankets and things, I’ve only tried a single crochet join once and a whip stitch join once so joining is a bit intimidating for me still, however your video takes a lot of the anxiety out of giving this method a try! It looks wonderful to boot! Thanks again for the great content!

[@darcysmall9548]

This is awesome! I'm trying to adapt it for a ripple stitch queen size afghan so I can crochet half of the afghan, set it aside, crochet the other half and join the two halves. This will prevent me from having the huge thing on my lap all at once, at least until this join row. Thank you so much for this tutorial as I was drawing a blank as to how to join them and have the join look good!😍

[@jodyfieldhouse6420]

Thank you for doing this tutorial. I am working on a scrap blanket and was dreading sitting and sewing it altogether.

[@saskiavandenbergh3454]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been struggling with this for some time but now I know how it works 😊

[@nanalisa68]

I have squares to make an afghan for my granddaughter, not granny, but squares just the same. Was looking for a flat way to connect, thank you !

[@ravenandkite]

Thanks so much for this - exactly what I had in mind! I'm making an oversized scarf out of 25cm solid granny squares (with popcorn stitches in the pattern), and want to join them so that the join looks like a continuation of the pattern. Have tested, and this method will work perfectly! You're a star!

[@angieelliott8741]

I needed this video before I started my granny square project. I have been sewing mine, and I am quite literally, cringing each time I look at my project. Then, I have to worry about weaving in the ends and making sure everything is secure and anchored. Well, we learn something new every day! Thanks!!! ❤

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so welcome Angie, it is so much easier this way.😃🥳

This has helped me tremendously, thank you. I’m making a beach cover up and joining left and right panels together, I’ve tried a few different methods but this method looks beautiful.

[@josrcumming]

Agreed, I am using this technique to join the side seam of a jumper. It looks lovely

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

This is so memorizing just watching, so gorgeous

[@daofjudith]

I am using your wonderful joining method on a blanket I making now and I am finding it is super fast!! I think it’s faster than any other join I have used and it’s absolutely beautiful especially since I’m using so many different colors the effect is stunning!

[@jnmhpersad7260]

Hi Robin, another fantastic crochet tip. It's so flat I was amazed. Not sure I got the expertise to do it but I'm gonna try it. Thanks 😘

[@HookedbyRobin]

It's easy once you get going I promise! Sooooooooooo flat (fiddly but worth it!)

I successfully joined a cushion cover for the first time after watching your continuous JAYG video. It would be a great help if you could do a 3 x 3 video at some point for the solid granny so we can all get the hang of joining the squares to make a larger blanket.

Hello! First off wanted to tell you my little brain was blown by your videos on the joining, I love the look of it and am excited to use in on my next granny afghan. I'm wanting to do a willow square afghan, I know how to do the pattern, but would love some advice as to how I use the continuous join as you go method for the willow squares as I have just found your videos and the corners still stump me. Very appreciative of your videos and help. Thank you! 💚

I really wish i could get the TJAYG with the hexagon (could you please do a video in light colour join so it is clearer to follow. I've just about given up. Might try the solid granny square TJAYG instead.

[@bleupapillons]

I im doing a regular granny square and i did not like the join as you go regular as there where gaps between my rows of 3 as you join only in the middle... this is what i have been looking for . So ill do both regular granny but join them with that dropping and getting the loop back trough the other one. Thanks a lot.

[@debrawolleycrochet]

Iam going try this method

[@HookedbyRobin]

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Love that yarn

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Are you still planning to do the viedo with 3 across 3 Down. I love the other granny square one you did that was very complete, with the regular granny square you showed several rows and then how to do the border I learned a lot. I hope by this fall cause I want to do one.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Argh! Why do I keep forgetting I promised to do this? I'M SUCH A GOLDFISH BRAIN!! 😫 100% I am writing this down on a post it note and slapping it on my camera lens so I do not forget! This weekend I will make some smaller versions of the solid squares and get them ready so I can film it towards the end of next week when I get a spare day :-)

[@HookedbyRobin]

Literally grabbing my hooks and some yarn so I can make a start on those squares RIGHT NOW before I get distracted!! Xx

[@HookedbyRobin]

Did you want it as a continuous join as you go or individually joined squares like this one? (I'm thinking continuous like the granny squares 🤔)

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Hooked by Robin a continuous join like you did in the viedo with the nine squares and how to do the border it was great I will find the link and post it here to show you.

[@michele2109]

I love this joining method. I was wondering if you have another video showing how to join either above or below when you have more than one side your joining to. The corners always seem to confuse me.

[@HookedbyRobin]

I do yes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5_QlZ1olrCaqs0

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Best ever

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Tk you so much could you do 3 rows across and 3 down. How exciting, thanks from the bottom of my heart

[@HookedbyRobin]

3 across and 3 down would take a little while BUT I could show you 2 across 2 down? If I add to this I can show how to join a new row and join at the corners?

[@Sarahlinii]

Hooked by Robin This would be great to see! I was a tad confused how we would go about joining any additional rows of squares to the row you showed us already. How would we go about joining additional rows in general with this method to make a full blanket? This is probably a newbie and obvious question but I am still so new to joining that I’m rather ignorant about it all xD

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Hooked by Robin knowing how to keep joining the squares then how you go up and around would be great. Maybe you could do the three and break it up over the next month. I am ticked you are willing. I know you will be around for questions

[@HookedbyRobin]

@@Sarahlinii Sarah Tabler it's my fault for assuming people would know what I meant so it's not you being a newbie, it's me not thinking it through! Xx it'll be the next video I do 😀👍 (this is a case of "it's not you, it's me" LOL)

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Hooked by Robin see this often in viedoes . I highly admire your awesome talent and how you can connect the dots, lots of us are show me a few rows and then watch me roar. I appreciate your kindness and attention to you subscribers. I just love this, if you ever make a written tutorial with pictures I will be first in line to purchase. I believe that there is a great demand for teaching viedoes on how to connect squares. I believe it would be a great seller. Like I said I am in the middle of a crochet along we are at eight weeks. 8 rows down and arc Ross, from making the squares to connecting them row after row, and next we will learn how to do the borders. She gives great tips along the way on weaving in ends and tension, and smooth color changes. Every two to 3 weeks she pops out the next step. I think each presentation is an hour or so long. I know every has their own time restraints. But hey I would be willing to wait on the masters. So if you are able to do the three across and three down that would give a complete picture to get us on out way. Then a quick border to finish them up. Be easy on yourself and spread it out over a month or two. I belong to five crochet groups and people are always asking for where they can find more complete viedoes on connecting squares. I appreciate you willingness to listen and giving series thought to consider this endeavor, I wish I was more of the type to visually in my mind to turn the corner and continue, but I get brain freeze and stare blankly at my project. Thank you again.

[@craftychatscafe6342]

Love this method. Thank you for sharing. Does the same method work for solid squares where the seam (for the final round of the square) falls at the corner? Hope this makes sense

[@terrimolony376]

I love the finished look of this joining method. But I’ve already got my squares done. Is it possible to join them like this now?

[@HookedbyRobin]

Hmm not really unless you added a new round to your squares x

[@terrimolony376]

Hooked by Robin Aww shame. Next time then. Many thanks for your reply and the great tuition videos x

[@jayluer6564]

I’m using this method to make a granny square bag. I’ll prob join all the squares and then sew where it needs to be sewn, otherwise I’m going to attempt to make it all continuous join

[@HookedbyRobin]

Great idea Jaylue, let me know how it goes.😃🧶

[@emptynestgardens9057]

Oh I think this is what I'm looking for. I'm making a granny square dk shirt for my Son. I want to join with a flat method without having to add a bulky(wider) 5th row of granny clusters. Could I do this with slip stitches only or sc for that 5th joining row?

I can't quite figure out if i'm supposed to be joining in the chain space at the corner when I hit the top Like you do in a regular JAYG granny square

Hi Robin! Does this method also look good with the traditional granny square? I will give it a try. Because this looks great. And thank you for the tutorial. Hugs!

[@HookedbyRobin]

It does yes!

[@lovelyleochen]

Does this only work with solid granny squares or would it be possible with the traditional one as well? 🤔

[@lftypjk1]

on the first granny square do you crochet three sides before you begin to join?

[@kathylawrence2183]

I love this. Do you do anything different when you have four corners to do?

[@HookedbyRobin]

I pick up the opposite corners (just like in my continuous join as you go video) BUT I'm going to film it early next week to show you as a couple of people have asked the same question 👍

[@helenoreillylong9497]

Hi Robin Newbie here and a little confused. In the video you say to keep joining as long as you have stitches left to join...Let’s say I am joining a left square to a square on the right....I am confused about how to navigate the corner at that point. Do you happen to have a close up picture of that part....i have slowed the video down but still can’t tell which stitches you are joining into. Are we joining into the corner space of the right square and then doing a complete corner on the left square? See I don’t even know how to describe it.lol Would love some help if possible. Thanks so much.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Heya Helen - are you on facebook at all? I have some pics on my fb page which you may be able to zoom in on or I have another couple of videos on this type of joining which may help? X

[@helenoreillylong9497]

Hooked by Robin oh thank you Robin. I will go to your Facebook page right now and will also look for the other videos. I am delighted to be learning a new square and a lovely join. Thanks for your help and great videos.

[@Alan-zq1og]

for some reason i keep ending up a stitch short on the square im joining so ive had to modify how i start the attachment but im still baffled about why its happening

[@user-ng8ol9rr5b]

Would you recommend this for joining sweater sleeves?

[@mmemumu4604]

This is beautifull... but is that mean that you are blocking.... your piece at the end? because i was blocking my square before doing my piece....

[@HookedbyRobin]

I rarely block individual squares, I find joining them pulls them into shape - if something requires blocking at the end I'll block the final piece :) If a square is more intricate or needs appliques adding etc then I'll block the individual squares before joining but as I said, it's rare I block anything!

[@jacquelinegiordano432]

Would this technique be the same if you are joining sc to sc?

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yes in theory HOWEVER not all the stitch counts are the same on the unicorn Dreams squares - the join for the blanket is a continuous style (flat braid join) so will only have 2 ends 👍 That video should be up on my channel in a couple of weeks :-)
