Crochet Tight Join As You Go method | ⭐ PART 2 ⭐ How to tackle the corners! | Solid Granny Square

[@MyFathersEyes1]

Ahh, Robin, love your work. Love your tutorials. My class of learners love you too! Thanks for sharing your creativity with the world and us!🎉😂❤

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awwh, thank you so much!🥰🧶

[@camille4574]

This blanket is absolutely beautiful, I'm imagining a *cream edging (joined as you go of course!) or possibly some tassels. So pretty and one of those things that matches lots of different decor!

[@Sawweb27]

No need to apologize. It was so nice of you to teach these!❤

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you!🤗

[@ladyd54]

Thank you for showing us the corners. Looking forward to the edging video. I just love listening to you and just ramble one all you want.

[@virginiasomerville5113]

I love your descriptions I can understand them, we must speak the same language. And I love the colors for your granny squares no color changes in each block as in Traditional squares. Ramble on girl. Love you.

[@dawnamendola8690]

I love love love your tutorials and girl you waffle away ! I love listening to you . Your teaching method is always so clear and specific I've been crocheting for 35 years plus and i do not have the patience to watch a tutorial that goes on and on i like it to be about what it's suppose to be about and to the point with clear direction and you nail it every time ! Thank you ... so in all my years of crocheting i have only ever finished 1 granny square blanket , i have started many but never finish them usually because as i start joining them i get to second/third row and i always hate the way it's looking , my OCD doesn't like that it looks wonky although I know it will all come together in the end I can never get passed that ..anyone else feel the same way ? Well your tutorials on this blanket have inspired me to try again lol ... pictures anywhere on this particular blanket finished ? Thanks again

[@chrisarlington1792]

I'm so glad technology let's me replay and SLOW down over and over til it sinks in thank you

[@florencetilly5395]

I love this technique. The color of nail polish you chose is the BEST one ever used on You Tube videos I've watched. It in no way detracts from your demonstration. Happy stitching.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you! I'm not sure the same can be said for my other videos - I'm generally rocking a bright nail varnish 😂🙈

[@yayamary56]

I love the neutral color polish today also. Robin, you've got the prettiest hands. And thank you for today's lesson. 💜

[@tammygood253]

I just found these tight join videos. I have tried and failed to use a photo instruction out there on the web, which a lot of people have liked, but I just could NOT get it. I so appreciate this video as well as the first one--personally, I found it helpful for it to be split in two videos. The first one introduces you to the concept and gives clear instruction. The second video is a natural progression of joining the corners and moving around the blanket. I so appreciate the videos, and the time you took to explain everything. And I ADORE your nails!

[@patriciaa3462]

Just found your set of videos on Solid Granny JAYG Squares. Thank you. You made the first video just as I was starting to do mine. I love JAYG been doing regular Granny Squares that way for some years. This is my first venture into solid grannies.

[@Chrisc1995]

Keep rumbling 😁 I love listening to your voice anyway 🤗😀

[@lotsoflavender31]

Oh bollocks! I’ve just made and joined half a large blanket with the corners all wonky. Was trying to figure out how to do it neatly and here you are with the perfect solution! Guess the next half will be better. So many thanks. Most grateful.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Wonky corners give character 👌 no one will notice in the overall finished blanket! Xx

[@MelaniMiguel]

Awesome technique & tutorial. Thank you Robin.

[@juanitamontgomery7967]

I like what you did but it was a bit on the plain side and I think I am a foo foo girl lol so what I am doing is the flat braide join and border. I will send a pic when I finish. It’s in white. I love the pattern for the granny square very much but what sold me was the green multi color of the yarn. So I am doing it in the green only.💗

[@HookedbyRobin]

It's a gorgeous green! I love the flat braid join, I do it quite a lot! It's nice and fast too :-)

[@Chrisc1995]

I am just learning this join as you go technique. Then, the mention of what? Flat braid?! Oh my 😱 Thank you, Robin ❤️ I love learning all of these techniques ❤️ Thank you very much for sharing and for all the hard work to bring us all of these beautiful creations of yours. Mahalo 🤗😘❤️🌈

[@Chrisc1995]

Do you by any chance have the flat braid join tutorial? 🤔

[@girevka]

I'm absolutely going to try this method. Thank you so much for showing it! I'd love to see a demo on how to join hexagons as well ... since the "corners" are only three pieces instead of four, I'm having trouble imagining how the opposite-corner method would work. Thanks in advance!

[@jyslouey]

I have been practising this tight join technique and my corners are still not very tidy. As a request, if and when you find the time to make another video tutorial of a larger sample with smaller squares as you have mentioned , may I pls ask that you consider using a plain, light coloured yarn as you have done with your other CJAYG video for a clearer visual reference. Just a thought....and waiting with bated breath for your next video. I have learnt so much from your videos, please keep them coming...

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yep absolutely not a problem! X

[@EveWinkett]

Hi how would you add a border to this blanket please :)

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Do you still plan to do a 3 across and 3 down in the future it would be very helpful. I love the series you did on the other granny square, I was able to follow that one and made a queen size blanket cause you were so very through. Love your teaching style. I would so like to see this one done like you demonstrated the other one. Thank you.

[@HookedbyRobin]

I'd completely forgotten until your comment! Yes absolutely 👍 (remind me again in a few weeks if I haven't done it, I have the memory of a goldfish sometimes! )

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Hooked by Robin you are so thoughtful, you have a full plate and I understand that completely. Looking forward to seeing it, don’t forget to include border. And does this one have the continuous join as the other with the start and end tail, Again thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. Hugs from Michigan.

[@lftypjk1]

can you do a video on tackling the corners on the hexie using the same method?

[@HookedbyRobin]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zne1dqmJq6mZr7csi=fFjI0Pneahibxsvr 😃

[@lftypjk1]

@@HookedbyRobin I was referring to the hexagons using the tight joint single crochet as you go method . would this video work the same as hexes?.

[@salamanda11]

I’m trying this technique for a hexagon motif blanket. How would you do the corners on row two for hexagons? Since only 3 hexagons some together at each corner, you can’t join diagonal corners like you did here with the squares. Love this technique!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Ahhhh that's a blimmin' good question! I just join the corners on hexagons, I tend to be a bit sparodic with my placement with hexis and very VERY rarely plan it out in advance so my advice if you are doing it properly (and not being higledy pigledy like me) is to just give it a go and see what works for you! No set answer I'm afraid as I'm not organised enough ! 😂 I do actually tackle how I do hexagons in my video that will be released next friday so if you can wait a week, I show my chaotic approach! (If you can't wait, send me a message and I will see if I can send you a preview link 😉 )

[@salamanda11]

Hooked by Robin I think I came up with something that works! I’m doing a chain two in the corners of the working hexagon, and I pop my hook out after both chains so that I can join to both existing hexagons that I’m connecting to. Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to this week’s video!

[@adam.4487]

This is great! A problem I have is the corners on squares I am making. There is NO chain in the corners on the pattern, I make to make 5 hdc in a loop from the previous round. How should I connect the corners? Maybe 2 hdc, ch1, 2hdc? I am thinking that might work. Thank you

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Hi, I was wondering if there is or will be a tutorial on the 50/50 granny square for a continuous join? Enjoying you lessons.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yep there will be at some point soon! :D

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Hooked by Robin thank you

[@autumnrosebijoux]

Which video shows how to do a border after joining the squares? I love the look of this technique, but don’t know how to connect the edge corners in a border.

[@alvinrawls4181]

Can you use the tight join method without join as go in other words I like this and already made the squares for a blanket can I still use this tight join method?

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Hi I still a. Loving this! Did you do a border? No hurry I know you are busy.

[@beverlywinterrowd87]

Hooked by Robin .

[@lacifiala2070]

Did you end up making and posting a video on adding a border to this? I looked through your videos and didn't see one. Just curious as to what YOU do when you get to the space where two squares meet!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Ahhh no I haven't yet, I completely forgot! *I have a goldfish brain* I do, however, have a written blog post about exactly that issue here if that helps in the meantime! byrobin.blogspot.com/2015/06/how-to-crochet-flat-border-around-solid.html

[@lftypjk1]

im having a really tuff time joining to top corners. Ive slowed down the video, but i cant seem to get it, as I cant see where you are putting the stitches. Is there any way you could do a close up video of the top and bottom corners? Being left handed doesn't help even tho I have mirrored the vidoe.

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

Is is almost the same concept of the granny square join you did. On that way we left floppy edges to join

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yep exactly! 👍

[@iheartcoffee9]

Hi I love your videos! Fairly new to crocheting, and to blocking...when you do Join As You Go, at what point do you block your work? The individual squares, or all of the blanket when you’re done joining? Or at a different point? Just need some advice. Thanks!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

I'm very lazy when it comes to blocking, so to be honest, I very rarely bother! If I do, it will be at the end when the entire blanket is done and finished. Quite often the weight of the blanket sort of blocks itself so 🤷‍♀️ Life is too short to block items multiple times! 😂

[@iheartcoffee9]

Thank you so much for your reply! That is very good to know! 😊😊

[@cm4107]

When joining the first square of the row, or the second square of the blanket, which side do you attach? The first full side of the round, or the last full one?

[@virginiasomerville5113]

Thanks . Dont know it is available here in Utah.

[@HookedbyRobin]

You might be able to find it online?

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

After attaching that fist square of this row you had to break off the yarn right, then prepare the next square and corner right

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yes, I finish a square then break off the yarn before crocheting the next square :-)

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

So on the beginning squares of the row you have to break off yarn, so toy have the starting tail, and end row tails to weave in. Awesome

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yep every square is made individually so you'll have ends to weave in on every square - you could however easily adapt this to make it continuous join as you go if you were joining the final round all in the same colour (like for the other granny square joining video)

[@maryh99]

If you add a border between the squares, you can do it as a continuous join as you go.

[@godcrochetchatter9234]

maryh99 Han now how to do a border around the squares to do that lo, such a visual person I am.

[@carolinemaliaka4244]

Which colours did you use

[@neonelectric9668]

Girl do you weave in your ends before joining? Where are your tails?

[@jyslouey]

I think I now have the hang of this method by following your video but my internal corner joins are not very pretty as I'm having a problem placing the first set of corners. This is such a beautiful join but I can't imagine sewing one square at a time to a large blanket with over 100 squares! Way too cumbersome.

[@HookedbyRobin]

You can turn this into a continuous join as you go if you are doing the final round of every square in the same colour - unfortunately as lovely as granny square blankets are, they always have those pesky ends to sew in!

[@jyslouey]

I'm already picturing in my mind how to do this, assuming that I can follow your video for the CJYAG method to join the squares. Do I still leave the corners free and pick them up later as you have done with the granny cluster squares since the joining method is different. Granny cluster CJAYG is def. much easier and faster. I know why I had difficulty with the corners as I was off count with one or two of the squares (missing the first stitch after the second half of the corner) after I unpicked the squares to start over again. I'm determined to nail this!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Yes exactly the same way as the granny cluster continuous version - and also yes, granny clusters are a MILLION times easier and less fiddly than this method!

[@virginiasomerville5113]

BTW what yarn are you using?

[@HookedbyRobin]

It's Sirdar Crofter Snuggly :-)

[@melissagraziano4051]

Did you ever get a chance to film the border round? 😉
