🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on KZbin yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthev... and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyro... The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyro...

Keep up the great work!!! I hope your crochet journey is fulfilling!

[@HookedbyRobin]

My pleasure! I’m glad you’re enjoying crochet and the start of the blanket.🥳

[@territn8871]

So happy you are learning to crochet and enjoying it! I learned to crochet when I was 11 years old too...and now I'm 70!😘 Hoping you have lots of fun with your crocheting and make lots of pretty things!👍

[@darrinmckeehan5697]

Very cool that you learned at 11😊. I learned while I was in junior high school/middle school by watching my older sister 🤓. I remember my first project was an all white blanket (big enough to cover myself) with a black edging. Wonder what ever happened to it 🤔. I'm now 58.

[@winternightmarecrochet]

That's amazing, I hope you keep learning and enjoying crochet ❤

Thank you so much Robbie!🥹

[@RianShafer]

I've made A LOT of no turn Granny Squares because that's how my gram taught me, when I was 18. Fast forward 50+ years, I always added stitches between the sets of 3. I also used 3 chains on the corners. Love how these look tight & neat so you have taught this old dog some new tricks. I also bury my thread as I go so it's not overwhelming to do them all later.

[@susananderson3478]

Robin I just finished your petal squares in rainbow colors I love the way it look! Thank you so much for giving me the the confidence to try something new! ❤❤❤❤

[@pattisnapsforbeans8212]

I always get so excited after I watch one of your videos. Then I grab my yarn and off I go!!! But for some reason, my crocheting just doesn't go as smoothly as yours does. I have no idea why. You always make it look so simple. I can crochet, but I think I have 8 thumbs and 2 fingers, so it just takes me longer. Hahaha. Thank you again, Robin. I just love your tutorials and, as usual, your gorgeous yarn.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Patti!🥰

[@SunCity95]

I know I’ve seen the free standing dc before but what baffles me is that I don’t use it, and I’ve been crocheting for a while now 🤨 I will say, though, that I’m loving the way you have taught us to do it and especially how beautiful and perfect the granny square looks. So thanks for this tutorial 🥰 There is always something to be learned 😊

[@munkustrap2]

Well, isn't that hilarious. I've been using the Standing Double Crochet Stitch for years without knowing it was an actual stitch 😁 (& by years I mean decades 😂)

[@HookedbyRobin]

😂 This is brilliant!

[@CreationsOfParadis]

Same here. It was how I learned 20+ years ago. My aunt who taught me has been doing it for 75 years. I showed her this and she didn't know what to make of it. Her grandmother taught her this way as well.

[@kathywelch8722]

This is a perfectly square granny square. It looks great. Thank you for sharing. 🧶💜🙏🏻

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you Kathy!😃🌈

[@mandiroblero3659]

What makes hers so perfect, is the standing stich. She dose a little hack where she yarns over to join, as a pose to under. Also note that she joins in the middle of a cluster as a pose to in a chain. Joining in a chain can add a tiny bit of yarn an make it lean. She also doesnt add a chain inbetween clusters. When you add the chain between it also makes the total square looser and lean. All the little hacks that she dose straightens things right up. I bet it took her a very long time an many many many granny squares to prefect it. I applaud her for sharing.

[@chantellenichols7784]

I've watched so many tutorials in the last 2yrs, made tons of granny squares and yours has been the best so far. Thank you

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Chantelle, that’s so kind!🥰

This is fantastic ! .. as a new crocheter i am ecstatic about your pattern .. i can write it down as you are saying it .. its so much easier than music playing and a few words on a screen ... i will check out more of your patterns to keep ... 🎉❤

[@giselec6773]

A a complete novice, you are by far the easiest to understand crochet instructor. Ty! I absolutely love the granny square! My toddler grandson responded that he would like me to crochet a blanket with all the colors---rainbow colors. Bright colors happen to be my favorite too!❤❤❤❤

Well they say you learn something new everyday and I just did! Can’t believe after almost 50 years of crocheting I never heard of the standing stitch! It will now be newly learned forever stitch! Thank you Robin.

[@HookedbyRobin]

You are so welcome Jane!😃🧶

[@HRHDMKYT]

You are an *excellent* teacher, Robin! This granny square tutorial is very easy to follow, and I fully agree that leaving all the tails to weave in at the end can be very daunting; much better to weave them in as you go, before adding the next colour. 🌈💖

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awh, thank you so much!!😃🧶

[@kyuutatsu]

Oh i thought this was just how granny squares were made honestly. I never flip my work when doing granny squares 😂

[@gautamiambiye9444]

I have been crocheting since December 2023, so am really a beginner. I am teaching myself to crochet by watching videos and reading through all the comments on the various crochet groups. What I love about your videos is that you always give the instructions very clearly, and always give a reason for why you're doing something. That makes a huge difference to someone who's learning. I was a teacher for 17 years and know good teaching when I see it. Great job, Robin! ❤

Interesting technique. I always "fight" to find the best way to hide my tails. I'm going to give this a try. Thanks!!

Hello Robin, I've made a few of your blankets over the past few years, and loved making every one of them. Some, even more rhan once. I just recently learned about the "standing single crochet," and loved it. Thank you for now teaching me the "standing double and half double" crochet stitches. And your granny square is the nicest one I've seen yet. I have struggled making granny squares for years. For whatever reason, I quickly learned to dislike them, and have avoided using them for that reason. But yours is so nicely done, so neat and square. I just might give them another go-round. I also struggle with weaving in ends, but never thought to treat them as you have done. I always leave long ends so I can weave them up, down, whichever. I am so loath to having something I've made and given away, come apart. But it's not always easy finding the best, and neatest way to do that. Maybe you could do a video on various ways and methods for hiding them neatly? I might learn an easier yet better way from you?😊 Thank you for your tutorials. Always extremely well done, and well thought through to cover every detail.

[@Cassiee102]

Ooh i love how you weave your ends

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you Cassie!🥰🧶

[@elainehopps1646]

I've just watched your other video on how to make a magic ring and I thought it was a bit fiddly for me. When I saw this video with the way you made the magic ring with just one finger, it seems so much easier to handle the ring. I'll use this method fr now on. Thank you for the video. Ive always love your clear instructions on which stitch to go into. 😍😍

[@HookedbyRobin]

You are so welcome, I always suggest to use whichever way is easiest for you.😀🧶

[@christinenolan1418]

I always thought you should turn your work when using the same color so it doesn’t go wonky. I’ve always made my squares one sided if I changed colors like you have, starting in a different corner than where I bound off. Your square is perfect and I love the colors. Granny squares can be tricky. Thanks for the tutorial, Robin, it was very helpful. 🫶🏼

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you Christine, I’m glad the video has helped!😃🧶

[@sandygrogg1203]

I have never ever turned my grannies. I’ve never had a problem with them, looking wonky, either. I keep it simple and just go round and round. Also, I never use a magic ring. I chain for and then make a circle. I crochet over the tail and that way it pulls the center up snug.

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re very welcome, I’m pleased it helps!😃🥳

[@elspethmcgarey]

Finding an alternative to the chain three is necessary as there is less yarn in the chains than in a double crochet stitch, and that contributes to bias. I found that when I use the standing double crochet there is very little, if any, bias, even if I always start in the same corner.

[@deionrichards2038]

On this colorful Granny square that you're showing us how to work today your colors are so vivid bright and beautiful what type of yarn are you using I love the look

[@TempestPhaedra]

granted I am not an expert on granny squares - don't like how they look so I don't usually make them - but I have never heard of turning a granny square. which made this video a source of mystery for me until I googled about it. I had no idea people turn their squares. to me it seems working without turning is just the standard, and probably most popular, way of making granny squares.

I did a big granny blanket for my mom. I would look at her crochet. I don’t know what I was doing. It came out zigzag She left so much because I would take her leftover yarn, and it was a surprise for her, even though I did it wrong She liked it and then started showing me how to crochet the right way like your explanations I like your method

[@Tazeratic]

Can you show us the seamless granny without changing colors? The standing double crochet doesn't seam to work coming from the slip stitch do we use a stacked single crochet as our first double instead?

[@HookedbyRobin]

You can absolutely use a stacked single yes!

Having so much fun doing the rainbow and monochrome squares. In your JAYG it looked like you were doing dc around the edge to join. Am I wrong?

[@HookedbyRobin]

I think I accidentally made a DC for a couple of the stitches in the Tight JAYG tutorial (😂🙈 too busy talking about what I was doing and not concentrating!) BUT it should be half doubles just like in this tutorial for the final edge if you're doing the CAL 🥰
