from all the tutorials that i've watched about granny squares, by far yours is the easiest one to follow (i'm still a beginner with a bit of experience) and your voice is really relaxing. Thank you!!

[@VivCrochets]

Thank you so much!!

[@missmayalive]

perfectly said, im the same as you (beginner with a bit of experience. Made my first granny squares with this 🥹

[@amaurauk]

This took me 2 days (a couple hours each day) to complete and I love it! I made it for my niece as a Christmas gift and now I want to make myself one! I've never crocheted a big project before so this was fun!

It took me a month!😭

[@amaurauk]

@@dayanamiranda8830 I didn’t even use 1 for each colour, granted my background colour (the white here) was a larger ball. I would suggest no more than 2 of your background colour & 1 for the colour you use for your heart :)

@@35.abirfatimamemon63 I’ve been crocheting on and off for a couple years now, it’s all about practice! Don’t let how long it took beat you up in the slightest! Be proud of what you created regardless of if it took you a minute or a month!

about how long?

💛thank you so much for this, I'm a beginner and loved making this bag (my first one)! just one small request/suggestion: as left-handed, I have to mirror everything - which of course, makes it a bit harder.. most of the time this is okay, but I lost it when I got to attaching the straps, as I couldn't figure out how to mirror this starting from the left.. 🥲it would be sooo helpful if creators could think of us too and just mention where we could start from the other side.. regardless, very thankful!! 🌟

[@Ast_crochets]

How did you get your squares so flat and thin? Mine are so thick and when the back was finished it looked like the squares were puffy ? But it’s was really easy to follow the tutorial and I think it looks pretty cute i just want to know how you got it so flat and thin?!

[@HaileyWright-l8s]

Hi great tutorial, but the only thing is that my squares are coming out in a rectangle, and the top is longer than the bottom but I'm following each stitch you do? probably just my error but either way love the bag

[@victoriacrimmins647]

I'm glad it's not just me. I followed all the stitches but coming out exactly like you said.

[@barbarawisniewska9748]

If I use yarn with smaller weight, my squares will end up smaller, am I right? 🤔 Then I just have to do more squares to get the bag in similar size like yours? 🧐

[@VivCrochets]

Yes, that’s right!

You can try doing just ch1 instead to make the holes smaller! It might not lay flat, but blocking can help

[@shiroshiro5496]

i was having the same issue; i just fluffed up a bit the two semi-circles on top and tying together the two hanging threads that you’re supposed to weave in (tying them on the back of the square). that gave much heart-y shape for me personally, hope this helps ❤

[@karenkaeke7905]

hello! in my process of completing round 4 of the granny square (top of heart), it appears that i have more than 9 st to dc in, resulting in an uneven side. i’ve tried fixing this issue by skipping some st to reduce the amount of dc, but now there is a small gap where i didn’t dc. is there any way to fix this? if anyone or the creator has any feedback / advice it would be greatly appreciated

[@VivCrochets]

hi! if you have more than 9 stitches, that means you need to redo your round 3. you must have accidentally added in stitches!
