I’ve been doing this for 50+ years I’ve never had anything unravel. I started crocheting at 8 I’m now 62. I figured this trick out because I was lazy and thought why not just crochet over it instead of tucking it in later. 50 years later it still works.

[@rociocontreras8640]

I am lazy too 😂, I did the same 😅

[@tonykilshaw2254]

I have been crocheting 60+yrs this is a game changer for me thank you 😊

[@Julia-zv9cz]

This has literally changed my life

[@yolandadouglas7265]

Brilliant! You just made making granny squares so much more enjoyable!! I love them, but sewing in all of those tails ... thank you so much!!

[@Genna.K]

Thank you! I just hated making granny square blankets because of all the tails. I gave it a go and I've made THREE blankets and I am working on a fourth. 😊

[@bronbron4834]

BRILLIANT! this is the clearest demonstration of how to join colours. So simple and efficient! THANK YOU!!!!!

[@evaluigi6175]

Great tip for ends. I have been crocheting for years...just learned something new.

[@orapronobis2149]

February 17, 2024, Maryland, USA: I just discovered your channel and am excited about the app! I downloaded and had fun choosing the palettes. This is so helpful for a beginner like myself. I love that with a grandson teenager, I can select a palette that favors him. For my two granddaughters, I do not have a problem. But even now, for both of them, this is a go-to. Thank you, and enjoy how they make the granny squares and do not have the tails to later deal with, but the best is no magic ring!

Thank you so much for sharing. I lost my mom who was an avid crocheter 6 months ago. Since her passing, I’ve rediscovered my love of crochet and it somehow brings us together. This was the exact method she used to crochet her grannies. I have 40 yr old, well-loved granny square blankets that she made and haven’t had one issue with stitching coming undone using this method. This is perfect.

[@Spoke76]

I'm so sorry for your loss. You will see her one day very soon. She's expecting you.❤ God Bless 🙏🙏

[@patwakefield7444]

Thank you so much. This will make me do a second granny square sweater after all. And you have lovely young smooth hands.

[@Kokos152]

A very big thank You from sweden! You have remove the only boring part of making granny squares! Im in heaven!

[@janwebster3749]

Brilliant instruction great way to loose your tails thank you 😊

[@cheshiregrin950]

Smart technique. Play Hooky with Me recommended your channel. Your granny squares are beautiful. And I’ll be trying this new way. Blessings from USA ✝️

[@sandiday9393]

Thanks. With your video and the crochet app, I made a beautiful afghan very quickly. I so enjoyed the process and results. Thanks again.

[@MrsGump]

I often crochet over my ends for the same reason! I love ur knot the yarn in the corner & the crochet over it, fab idea that I'm gonna steal 😉❤️

[@carolmarinemom0343]

Thank you. The app looks amazing. ❤ love your colors.

[@cynthiatimme2987]

I love your tips for no sewing in the ends! And I will definitely check out your app!

[@quin923]

Thanks for the new technique. It's wonderful.

[@joanelliott4986]

I prefer your granny squares because they are nice and tight and not holey. I have never thought about turning over after each round. It looks great. Thanks for a great tutorial and explaining clearly. Will give it a try.

[@jeanettesainsbury8980]

I only watched to find a way to avoid weaving the tails in but ended up downloading the Crochet Studio app and I absolutely love it. I have just generated and printed the pattern and can’t wait to get started. Many thanks 😊

[@Thegirlinthosehats]

Well, well, well who knew this technique? Going to try this! Thanks.

[@susanwhitehead4295]

I have just watched Davena from Little Work room crafts, who recommends your channel. And having watch this video I can see why. You have another subscriber now.

[@Tricoquet]

[@phillipaclark1832]

Hetti, my grandma was Dutch and when I was a little girl I would marvel at her crochet skills, I'm 53 now and taught myself to crochet 7 years ago in grandma's memory

[@dianavazquez7434]

Thank you for the information. I'm making a blanket with granny squares and the tails were difficult. Glad I found you 😊

[@DianeKaczmarczyk]

This is a fantastic video. Has made making granny squares so much easier. Thankyou

[@connieclark2865]

Great hint love it! I have been making granny’s for years and have never turn after each round! I have never had lopsided squares!

[@ChickOnRadio]

This is amazing! I've been crocheting over 40 years and I've never seen this technique! Thank you for this tutorial!

[@seaglasscolor]

Thank you, Anita. This is so helpful, and will save so much time!

[@lulienne8212]

Thank you for such a clear and helpful video!! The thought of all those ends to weave in have kept me from doing a granny blanket. Now I know what to do. ❤

[@victorialove9104]

Me too. Excited now to make a granny square blanket.

[@kathygeisler6324]

I just watched a video by Roz of Play Hooky with Me where she demonstrated this technique...a real game changer. Of course, she credited you and I'm now a new subscriber to your channel! ❤

[@GanganDi]

Absolutely brilliant!! I have just spent a week sewing in a million ends on only 4 granny squares! I’m exaggerating but this is a brilliant idea and I will for sure be trying your method!

[@megmm5104]

It’s great. Thanks for sharing this Crochet Studio App. I just love it. Before, I used to used Freeform App to create my own granny square patterns. This crochet studio is even better! Your tutorials is easy to understand and nice and neat granny square. Thanks and have a nice day crocheting

[@marymary5172]

You turned my work very easy.

[@lotsoflavender31]

Well that’s different! I’ve just begun my first Crochet Studio generated blanket, have only made 3 squares of 7 rounds each. I’m definitely going to have a go at your method of joining colours! By the way, your app is brilliant.

[@carolynking3318]

I have only recently found your channel. I love it! I’m especially excited because you hold your yarn and hook exactly like I hold mine. ❤

[@jackiegregory9807]

Brilliant tip! I’m now really enjoying crocheting granny squares! Thank you!

[@dianeg3376]

Thank you sooooo much! I just made my first two squares!

[@kelleytortorice1283]

I do this technique, but I continue to crochet over the ends. It’s great to know that I don’t have to. I also triple knot the ends together. I’m glad a double knot will work. Thank you for sharing!

[@rhondaturner5128]

Thank you. So lovely

[@juliekent9351]

Brilliant, thank you so much. What a great app, thanks for the tips for that too ❤

[@beverlyhickey2705]

Just saw this today it looks like it will be great for me. Thank you for sharing.

[@celsaflores7529]

Hello 😊in your video of the “perfect granny square” you show one pretty cool method that really makes a perfect granny. Now, this method is completely different and I’m a little confused as to which one to use. Please help !

[@turkdet]

Love this! I'm inspired to take on a very colorful granny blanket with this technique. I would LOVE to know if there's any way to flip the video to a left handed version? Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!

[@judylee3589]

You made this who process look so very easy. I think I'm going to try this, thank you!

[@mouseinparis]

Thank you so much for this wonderful, very clear and serene tutorial which has literally changed my life 🎉 I am so grateful!

[@hasumatipatel9410]

Anita, how amazing is your tutorial, explained it so well, thanks for sharing love Hasu 👍👍❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@sarahlloyd4069]

Thanks Anita what brilliant tips can’t wait to try them out on my granny squares. Well explained 😊

[@khadijah.510]

This feels like a literal life hack I’m almost mad I didn’t discover this earlier

[@maryt2887]

I love the Crochet Studio app except for one thing-the advertisements! They don’t have a way to stop them or even to cancel out once they are finished. I try clicking on multiple areas of the screen until an X appears, and sometimes I even have to close the app. I suppose you need to pay for the ads to go away. Perhaps you might warn people that the app is not really “free.” But thank you for telling us about it. It is very unique.

[@IAmTheBibliocat]

Fabulous! Thank you! ❤

[@sylviesmith9596]

Many thanks for sharing your skills & knowledge in a very clear & friendly way 😊✨✨Brilliant

[@didi8835]

I’m definitely going to be trying that technique 😊 thank you so much

[@veronique7094]

[@anitaludman8705]

Oh wow! That. Is. Soooo. Cool!

[@terristokes3460]

Thank you!!!! Love this!!!👏

[@super.stitch]

❤ Thank you for this very useful technique . Just wondering why you said tripple instead of double crochet 😊

[@sunnydaycrochet7222]

It’s a UK treble, US double. Same stitch, different name.

[@stevansilva9821]

I ❤ this but how do you work this method along with the join as you go?

[@handanmoroney8395]

Thank you so much.!

[@camper14]

Nice idea.😊🤗

[@cenacronis6658]

Thank you! ❤

[@janehodgett959]

Wow amazing 🤩

[@minini5571]

Love it!❤

[@Vee_Hobbys]

Can I add my barn that I have here? Or does it only works with jarnbrands what are more expensive? 😳

[@laurahorgan7657]

Thank you!!

[@shirleylitton8878]

Is it possible to do this on a mitered square, given that after the initial square, you start at the sides, not in a corner?

[@dawnamendola8690]

Will this work with any style granny square ?

[@kathleenfleming4922]

When I ask the app to generate a pdf, it tells me to go back and make sure every square has yarn in it. I’m trying to make a 5 square by 5 square, 5 rounds per square. It generates a 5x5 image onto a larger grid, and I can’t figure out how to do what it wants. Can you help?

[@luellscott6268]

Can you tell me hiw you added a palette?

[@annettemaragni1516]

What yarn do you use

[@carmendriggs1965]

Wow, i can finally overcome my fear of granny squares.

[@gladysbommersbach]

Please turn up your volume. I can't hear a word!!
