Just want to say you are such a great teacher. Thank you.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Aw thank you so much! 🥰

[@sowandsavor]

I learned how to crochet thanks to this channel so 💯 agree!

Here here.

[@laelanietoro6810]

Same here

[@lauriewiedeman2556]

I really appreciate how in your videos, you are explaining how to understand the stitches and think creatively about getting the look you want, rather than just teaching us how to do your exact pattern. It's like teaching us the theory behind cooking rather than just how to follow a recipe. Thank you!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you for such a lovely comment Laurie!🥰🤗

[@pamelaevans4076]

The options for different threads is gold for me, thank you!

I have been crocheting since 1970. You ARE a wonderful teacher. Thank you for all you do to help others do their best. God bless you. Debbie

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Deborah!😃

[@jtjones4986]

I love the way she explains everything to you and she doesn’t go fast and I love that .

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you!😃🧶

[@LucilleOneal-vk7be]

Thanks for the new way to start and stop a row, , I've been crocheting for years, and this is a game changer, thanks Robin.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yay! I’m glad it is useful Lucille.😃🧶

[@prairiefarmgirl]

Love this ❤ I need 48 hours per day to work and then crochet the many projects I want to make!!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Haha I know that feeling! 😅

[@susanvampressqueencolvin4721]

Exactly 💯... 😅

[@kyanitekat]

This is absolutely brilliant - it makes join-as-you-go squares/hexagons so much easier when you have to join to that last side! I don't think I'll ever go back to any other method.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Woohoo, I’m glad it works for you!😃

[@johnettastephens5537]

Thank you so much for sharing how to avoid the seam in a solid granny square! You explained everything beautifully, and it helped me understand not only how to do it, but why to do what we do. It helps me remember better when I understand why. This is one of the best tutorials on making this granny square that I've seen😊❤

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment!🥰🤗

[@eleanorrodway263]

At first glance I couldn’t see why it was so difficult, then I couldn’t see how it could be done! Thankfully you have excellent communication skills Robin 😄. Beautiful finish.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awh, thank you so much Eleanor!😃🥰

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so welcome, I’m glad you’re enjoying the squares!😃🥳

[@LadyCherryDraws]

Wonderful tutorial! I always avoided solid granny sqaures because it always looked off, but ths tutorial made it super easy and pretty!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awh, I’m so glad it helped!😃🥳

Just completed my first solid seamless square after doing a few previously with a seam. Much easier and neater. Thank you Robin.

I love watching you crochet. So smooth and precise. Every stitch looks perfect.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Jill, that’s very kind!🥰

[@cannaday97able]

I love this pattern so much! The way you showed how to keep it going without flipping or turning helped so much! Makes it look seamless! I did go further to about an 18 inch size for a pillow. It is a bit floppy but not horrible. I plan to use this pattern for so many more projects! My mother recently passed so i got her whole "collection" of yarn at my house now, taking up my guest bedroom. I have been trying to find fun different things to make. I am excited to try this as multiple granny squares to put together to make a "quilted" blanket :) :) :) thank you for sharing this :)

[@shanaanzai3494]

Hi Robin, what a great tip for solid granny squares. Eliminating the seam makes it so much nicer and prettier. But, in addition too, incorporating the invisible join with this technique would be quite informative and helpful.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much!😃🧶

[@bamanolan7482]

I did enjoy this tutorial. I will try it and hope it will look as perfect as yours does. Thank you for sharing.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much!🥰🤗

[@robynw6307]

I've always done ch2 to start a dc row. Could never work out why so many do ch3. Like you said, it's just too baggy. Loving this method. Thinking I need to make another - better looking - solid granny square rug.

[@Tazeratic]

I have been doing a variation of this exact thing with 2 differences clusters of 4 dc to start and a ch. 1 before closing the corner with a stitch, I never understood the chain one before that last stitch…I like your version much better! And the variation of stitches to use.

[@HookedbyRobin]

🥰🧶

[@tamamum1]

Such a useful tutorial @HookedbyRobin thank you! Especially appreciate the explanation about the different types of sts used at the end of round - always great to understand “why” it works (not just “how” to achieve a particular appearance!) 👍

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, I always think understanding the why helps!😃🧶

[@DianEnglish56]

Hi, Thank you for showing us how to do this square. You are very easy to understand and follow.

Great video - thank you so much Robin. I really enjoy making solid granny squares but hate the larger gap in one corner that I get sometimes. I can’t wait to try your version!

Awh, thank you!😃🥰

@@HookedbyRobin Btw, I've counted 116 st (corner ch included) but for some obscure reason I ended up with only 115 because of 1 corner Dc. Did it happen for you? :)

[@john316-tetelestai]

Robin, it is my first time doing the solid granny and you are showing it without a seam. It's so cool! Do you know or have a video on how to do the traditional granny without a seam? You are an excellent teacher!! Thank you so much.Blessings!

👏👏👏👏such a simple procedure. Thank you!

[@adventureswithcorrine]

Oh my gosh!! I have frogged this square so many times I think that I am starting to crave flies! Nonetheless, I am determined to figure it out. Rippit rippit. Cup of tea. Start again. 😂 At least I am using my favorite amethyst color so it's pretty even if it is a mess! UPDATE! Finally! I have a 19x19 stitch square. Now to make a few more for the CAL blanket. (P. S. Zero fly snacks required, just a cup of tea and eye reset). Thanks Robin! I am looking forward to the next square!

Had to close rounds with half doubles not doubles to get same size hole but yyyaaaay it worked thank you love it

[@HookedbyRobin]

🥰🧶

[@ShanaCali]

You can avoid that bump when closing with the 2 chains at the corner using a "seamless finish to your granny squares, or also called an invisible join." :)

[@winternightmarecrochet]

I remembered I had a bunch of neon yellow solid squares and so I'm gonna add the right amount of rounds and use them for the cal 😅

[@HookedbyRobin]

Whooo! Neon will look AMAZING

Heck yeah!

[@amyhall5294]

Thank you for this very easy solid granny pattern!!!! Been crocheting for a few years now & I could never figure out how to do a solid granny square for the life of me. They are always crooked or uneven for me on all sides till I found this pattern, now they are straight and even as can be. Do have a question though, Can this pattern be used with a regular granny square or just with the solid granny square? Thanks for the easy pattern!

Wonderful video! One question: have you any tips for changing colors by round? (Anybody can chime in here, not just Robin) I’ve been trying to figure out how to do a temperature blanket with each month represented by a square, each day by a round. It’s driving me crazy 😂 Thanks as always for your fabulous videos ❤

[@HookedbyRobin]

You can use standing stitches for each new row - I show them on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6G3koJoradgZ5Isi=-joN-aYHJxXV1OZ2 I hope that helps!

[@soleilray86]

I really wish i could like this more. You are really out here doing the Lord’s work. Thank you so much for this video.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awh, thank you!🥰🧶

[@nryane]

The solid square is the only granny square that I like. However, I do not like the ch2 for the corners and will modify this work of yours. It’s so much closer to what I like than any other solid granny square out there! Thanks, Robin, for this video. 🥰

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so welcome!🥰🧶

[@nryane]

@@HookedbyRobin I used corner markers and made a 10-inch solid granny, with much smaller corner holes, that I can donate to a group that makes donation blankets. I used a slip-stitch join, which worked well! Thanks, again.

[@dorothyschaack1490]

I like this idea. I am left handed and I think I can follow along.

[@MrsGump]

This is how i always do mine but i hate the look of starting chains so i always use (depending on what looks better with the yarn im using etc) i use a standing dc or stacked singles. If i need to really cover up the start then i sometimes make my first st the 2nd of the corner sts, so my last sts are a ch 2 n dc then join. You can then turn & sl st to the corner, turn n then start again on the same side

[@jtjones4986]
