CROCHET: Willow square PART 1 | Bella Coco

[@Itsmejamib]

Thank you for the great tutorials you do. I've just started crocheting again after 20 years. The only thing I had ever done was a granny square, and I couldn't remember how to do that. I've only been crocheting again for a few weeks, but thanks to your video's my skill is increasing rapidly. I'm doing and making things I never thought I would be able to. Thanks again, keep up the good work.👍

[@frejasimonsen7393]

I love this tutorial, the pace and instructions are so easy to follow and you even thoroughly explain what the terms mean and look like so that beginners can understand

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you so much :)

[@junehogan5788]

[@debbiedavidge5566]

Hi. Have finally made this and am so pleased with the result. Thank you. You are so clear in your instructions and video equally clear. Amazing. Thank you again.

[@ObsessiveCrochetLady]

I fell in love with the willow square on Pinterest and so happy to find a video for it. Love all of you videos. I made mine a little different the last 2 rounds I did one a single crochet round and the other a half double round and then did a back post stitch around to make it a little more 3d lol but I love the 3d look! Thank you again for all your hard work on bringing us these free tutorials

[@lucystamp3597]

Hi, can anyone tell me the size of the finished square? I'm looking for a square that is 6 inches when finished. It's a lovely pattern and Sarah Jane's videos are always so clear

[@samanthastorer9699]

More from this book please. Would like to be able to finish the book thanks

[@jolenedamian2333]

[@rebeccamiller7608]

[@mihaelaiorg]

I would like to know that too.

[@maggied8468]

[@Stephanie0419]

OMG!!! I think is beautiful. I really love it!

[@TammyAdkins12306]

Hello!! I am fairly new to crochet and I find your videos very easy to follow even though I am in America and use the American crochet terms, I thank you for making it very clear what to do..... I do have a question for you or anyone willing to answer, why does mine look like a bowl!? I thought maybe it was because my stitches were too tight so I loosend them. I've even used a bigger crochet hook and they're all curling up into a bowl shape! Help! Lol 🤣

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome, I'm glad you've found my tutorials helpful 🙂 What yarn is it that you're using? I've found that acrylic yarn in particular is prone to curling up, whereas cotton tends to lie nice and flat. You can block the squares once they're finished and that should sort it 🙂

[@rossyoung1254]

this is an amazing square

[@DaorBloom]

How big did the square turn out ?

[@medhabobbili5018]

What does treble + a chain mean at 4:19

[@bellacococrochet]

It means that the chain four counts as one treble stitch plus one chain stitch :-)

[@souravchakraborty8129]

I love this Willow Square. Could you please instruct how to join them? I wanna make a blanket.

[@bellacococrochet]

You can join them in the same way as you would solid granny squares - I have a video tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHqxf4R4jZmWptE 😊

[@na3oumashalash799]

Hi excellent tutorial Did you Make a half willow

[@carolinecherry2380]

Would love a written pattern for this square. Cannot find it anywhere. And the book is now out of print. Am making notes in my notebook for the stitches for each round in my crochet notebook for me to follow along.

[@bellacococrochet]

I think the book is still available on Amazon :)

[@bigpizzey]

We’re can I get book links not working

[@sarahlilly6652]

Would love to make this but have 4projects going right now

[@donnaingoglia6916]

How big is the finished square please?

[@mpc13]

Can I do a magic circle instead? I never get it right with foundation rings :(

[@cjjebsen-ross7262]

I'm just like you! Magic circle works just fine. I almost never do the chain + skip stitch.

[@MyMargo111]

Thank you so much for this

[@vegangelist]

this looks beautiful! Another newbie question: is this one of a billion granny square variants or is this just an afghan square? are the terms granny square and afghan square pretty much the same thing just different ways of saying it? or, is a granny square - though it has many variants - a specific type of square based on something in particular such that a granny square is an afghan square but an afghan square isn't necessarily a granny square? I want to understand things like that so I get a broader grasp on the vastness that is apparently crochet! ;)

[@deliciousmusic9727]

vegangelist a granny square is a sort of square you would make to give to your grandma to sew together afagans are bigger

[@gailgray3303]

Could you use 4 ply?

[@marybrock4942]

Hi Bella can u get the book for me we can’t get here in Australia

[@happyinlifemk62]

Your links to the book and the polka dot scissors do not work. I just thought you might like to know. It seems as though the other links work just fine. I like those stork scissors :) I may have to just get me a pair! :) Thanks for your great videos.

[@nicolaprince2746]

Hi have you removed the printable pattern for this hit link and it doesn't seem to be there any more

[@bellacococrochet]

I don't believe I provided a link to a printable pattern for this one as it's from a book called 200 crochet blocks xx

I don't have a written pattern as it was from the book 200 crochet blocks. Please note, I have had the necessary permission from the publishers of 200 crochet blocks to produce this tutorial :)

Any chance of an actual link to the book mentioned? All the links are YOURS...but you said you would leave a link to the book you used to show the pattern...well I don't see it 🤔

What weight in US terms is dk yarn?

[@aislinrose1]

I am not sure the name, as I am not American, but I see no one has answered this yet so I thought I would try and help. As far as everything I have read in my grandmothers old crochet instruction book as well as the internet about yarn weights, it looks like DK can also be called 'Lightly Worsted' and is considered a Category 3 (light weight) yarn. So not something super fine or baby weight (Category 2) and not something quite as heavy as Worsted or Afgan weight (Category 4) either but the in between weight. My Grandmother used to also call Light Weight yarns, 'Shawl Yarn' or 'Doilee Yarn' but I don't think those an 'official' terms LOL.

[@lunaroseee7546]

The link says the book isn't available there anymore just to let you know x

[@bellacococrochet]

Oh thank you. I’ll try and remember to change it x

[@njs44]

I agree that the link does not work. I did manage to get a second-hand copy of the book from Abe Books, but I wonder if it is out of print as it was not available from my usual online bookshop.

[@ruthbrown6043]

I got my copy of the book from Amazon.uk.com tday

[@riwaramadan9502]

How can we join these 2 willow square together

[@bellacococrochet]

You could sew or crochet them together; holding the two squares with their right sides facing each other, simply sew or make double crochets (UK terms) through each stitch along. Another method would be to slip stitch through the back loops of each stitch: this gives a nice invisible join. If you have a practise with each method you will find out which one you prefer. Hope this helps 🙂

[@riwaramadan9502]

[@barbaraann9308]

can you use a "H" hook?

[@bellacococrochet]

The hook size depends on the yarn, not the pattern 🙂 If you look on the band of the yarn you're using it should state which size hook to use 🙂
