Granny Square Blanket Crochet Along Part 3 - Joining Your First 8 Squares

Welcome to Wow! Crochet and today's tutorial is our very first CAL (Crochet Along) Blanket - Part 3. Joining of your first 8 squares. In this video I have shown you how to join 2 of the squares together. Just repeat this stitch for the remaining 6 squares. Do not cut your yarn. Just put your project aside and continue onto the next step of our blanket. As mentioned in this tutorial, wash and block your next 8 squares. See link below for the washing and blocking step. Whilst your next 8 squares are blocking. Crochet your next 8 squares of your 3rd colour. See link below on how to crochet your granny square. I will return in 8 days to join the 2nd, set of 8 squares to this set. Please clink on links below for details of previous tutorials for this blanket.

[@ladyinblue372]

Very nice one like it this way but now think how further lol use this for a long Granny square cardigan... hi hi so looking up for part 4 I guess

[@charmainerhoode1683]

Hi, thank you for this tutorial. I really appreciate it. I'm excited to put all my granny squares together. 😊 I need the 1st & 2nd tutorial.

[@partiallywiserosemar]

Thank you for this tutorial! I have had difficulty learning how to connect the squares in a way I liked. You just taught me how! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@WowCrochet]

You're welcome 😊 Happy crocheting to you 😁

[@suzannemurton4112]

oh wow been looking for a sensible and clear video for joining my squares for ages and this looks to be the one, thank you

[@vermathrax13]

I just found your joining method, just today!!! I wish I had found it sooner. Learn something new everyday.🥰🥰🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@WandaJEaton]

Your tutorials are perfect so easy to follow!

[@janicej8926]

THANK YOU MARY!!! I just discovered your method of JAYG. I had just completed a blanket using the slip stitch in the gap between the clusters, and came across your video and ripped it all out. I wasn't satisfied with the joining. It didn't look secure and had too many gaps. UGH!!! Your method is great! I was hesitant to do the "fiddly" thing with each stitch, looked like too much work, but it became easy. It's actuallly easier, especially the corners. And the corners!!! So beautiful and neat! And Easy!!! This looks so professional, beautiful and is very secure. Also, both sides look finished! THANK YOU!!!

[@WowCrochet]

You are most welcome. It took me a while some years ago when I first tried it. But a few blankets later and I got it under control. Glad you liked it 👍😁

[@Leileve777]

Very easy to follow, to understand. Many thanks🙏🏻❤️

[@WowCrochet]

[@clewis314]

Can this process be done for a granny square cardigan/sweater? If so, can you perhaps do something like this in a video. You do great work. Very informative!! 🥰

[@WowCrochet]

Hello there. Yes, it can be used for garment making, just keep in mind that this join can give garments a slightly thicker look than usual. Therefore, your garment may feel heavier. Plus, it's a yarn eater.

[@amandacrown7307]

really like this method thanks for sharing

[@WowCrochet]

Thank you kindly. Happy crocheting to you 👍🧶

[@carmenrickter1296]

Roughly, About how many skeins are needed for the trimming? 3, 4...? Thanks I absolutely LOVE this pattern.

[@WowCrochet]

Thank you 😊

[@deborahhamsho4799]

Baby ya lost me for the first time. I'm gonna have to study this and if I don't get it I'll join another way. Thanks

[@WowCrochet]

Don't stress too much. I'll do another tutorial with thicker yarn and larger hook, so you can see the stitches clearer. Ok 😉

[@busman2000]

Here's a question for you. Is it possible to make a rectangular bed spread with Granny squares, considering the symetry of the squares (natural squareness of the basic outcome)?

[@WowCrochet]

Thank you for your query. Yes it is possible you would make the length you need ie: let's say you used 10 squares for the length... (just a guess) instead of doing 10 rows of those squares, just make 9 rows... or whatever amount of squares you need for your width. Hope that makes sense?

[@marydalton7266]

Can you do it with small granny squares

[@WowCrochet]

Yes Mary, you can use smaller squares. We are currently working on a temperature blanket. Following is the link to the join-as-you go method 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoubgauPmMtlbcU

[@michellescurr1797]

I’m struggling doing the 3rd one and where to start from

[@saradahl154]

I have tried about 30 times, can u do it slower?

[@marydalton7266]

Hello what is the recommended hook size for the crochet along

[@WowCrochet]

Thank you. You can use a 4 or 4.5mm hook

Can you just pop on over? I'm in USA. 😄

[@WowCrochet]

Well I could do with a holiday 🤣 however come to Oz we'll have a blast

[@deborahhamsho4799]

Who taught you to crochet? I'm self KZbin educated

[@WowCrochet]

Well now that is a long story. But to cut it short, I was taught how to double crochet I by an elderly lady who would visit my place of residence when I was 5 years old... (a gazillion years ago now) 🤣🤣 However over the years I have had many teachers including my eldest sister, some friends and crochet colleagues and many mistakes later I learnt lots of tricks as I went along.

[@jigglypuff9359]

I don't like this method sorry
