Currently watching this at 2:36am because my insomnia is absolutely killing me and giving me the worst anxiety. This was the first video that came up when I opened youtube. I watched the whole thing in it's entirety and realized mt anxiety had gone away and I was super sleepy. (It's not boring, it's extremely calming). I felt so much better and saved me hours of exhaustion

[@HookedbyRobin]

I’m glad it helped you, crochet is such a comfort Jen.🤗 x

[@tammyturner5507]

That’s the key. Finding something that gets your mind off of the anxiety. I used to be plagued by it but no more, thank you Lord.❤️

[@SynfullyWkd67]

Oh, a whole blanket with just this square would make a great optical illusion.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Ooohhh yes!😅

[@checkpointCharlie1972]

I was lucky enough to be taught to crochet by you in person about 8 years ago! I still love to follow along with your tutorials. I can't wait to try this one. Thank you so much.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Blimey where has time gone??! I'm so glad you've kept up the crocheting!!

[@powerverwirrt]

Really clever that you showed this using four different colours! Makes it much easier to see how the square and spiral are constructed. Thanks!

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so welcome, I’m pleased the colours helped!😃🧶

[@MariaMales-k6b]

Glad the video is back Robin. It’s such a lovely square but I need to understand the logic of the pattern as this is how my brain works. Great work and thank you 🧶Maria🧶

[@HookedbyRobin]

it can be a tricky one to get your head around to start with for sure! xx

[@marybaudoin3711]

I must say you are the best teacher. No music. Just concise instructions. Never rushed. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Mary!🥰

[@blkrose5175]

I enjoyed watching this so much, when something new concerning crochet is shown I get such a happy feeling even if I never do it. Crazy I know. Thanks for sharing it ♥️

[@HookedbyRobin]

Not crazy at all! 😀🧶

[@mylaschorsch7516]

By far the best instructional video I have seen. Thank you!! I love this pattern.

[@kimscott6731]

This actually looks easier than I thought! Great teacher!

Thank you so much Kim!🧶

[@crochetizlife]

This pattern is amazing!! With your impeccable teaching skills, it makes for a friendly pattern too. Thanks❤

You explain everything so well. You make things look easy which inspires people to give it a go.

Thank you!😃🧶

[@jaynedombrowski7996]

Oh wow I've just made one of these squares and oh my it's absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much Robin for your wonderful clear instructions.At first I thought it might be a bit confusing but it honestly wasn't at all. Please give this a go yarny peeps you will not be disappointed with the results and anyone can do it with Robin's wonderful tutorial. Thank you again you are a great teacher, I'm off to do more squares and I can't wait to make a blanket with them ❤

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you for such a kind comment Jayne, so appreciated!🥰🤗

[@christinesteckel3390]

I thought I was losing my mind. Went to rewatch the last few rounds because I dozed off and couldn't find the video in my history! Thanks for the time stamps. 😄

[@HookedbyRobin]

🙈 sorry about that! Blimming technology 🧶

To keep from losing your place when you doze off, always push the thumbs up button and when you come back, your history will still be there

[@mariasolorio8476]

It's a beautiful pattern, thank you Robin for sharing blessings

[@missangie1562]

Thank you for this tutorial. Not only for your CAL but I’ve wanted to do this for another project and every tutorial I’ve found wasn’t clear or was very confusing 🤪. This is VERY CLEAR and not confusing in the slightest. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…..YOU ARE THE BESTEST!!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

🥹 Thank you Angie!xx

[@mandagouvion5690]

This is the best tutorial I’ve seen for crochet!! Good lighting, good yarn to obviously see stitches, clear and slow communicating. Seriously, well done. I got this done without a bit of stress at all I’m a super beginner!! I just started crocheting last week!

[@HookedbyRobin]

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

[@joannejohnson6393]

I have been waiting for this square! I thought the colors for the various blocks were a bit too bold and forward for my style. Then, my new kitty was climbing onto my yarn bins and toppled one over. Out plopped a skein of teal and a skein of orange. The contrast was definitely striking and not altogether unappealing. lol So, I wanted to give them a try together in this square. Now, what to do for the others as I do believe this qualifies as participation in the CAL. Thank you so much for all of your time and attention to your tutorials. Even as a long time crocheter (50+ years), I often pick up some new tips and better ways of doing some things. Thank you so much, Robin! 🖤🖤

[@HookedbyRobin]

It is absolutely the whole idea behind the CAL so you more than qualify! I wanted people to be able to pick the elements they wanted, use whatever yarn they want, whatever colours - plus teal and orange sounds AMAZING 😍

[@DarlingEphraim]

Robin, I usually don’t leave comments but I have to give you your flowers for this one! Thank you so much for the clear instructions making it beginner friendly!! ❤ Please if you can make and teach us how to do a sun and moon granny square!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you for such a lovely comment!😃🥰

[@susananderson3478]

Oh Robin I have so many wips! I think I will try this granny to make a bag. You are an amazing teacher! Thanks for this….❤❤❤

[@HookedbyRobin]

Oh me too, always a pile of crochet wips!🫣😂

[@ShainaAMBTV]

Would you be able to do this tutorial again with 2 colors? The 4 colors was just so hard to follow when I am trying to make a 2 color spiral. 😅

[@allaroundgrandma6312]

Love your content and your instructions are so very easy to follow! Great job!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much!🧶

[@shirleyoutlaw866]

Yes! I thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial! You are a great teacher. Your directions are exactly and concise. Thank you😊

[@HookedbyRobin]

Thank you so much Shirley!😃

[@brendavirgin201]

I'm buying the yarn for your blanket going to have to make it . . Had a go of the spiral for first time with four colours it worked thank you . For your video. Now to try with two colours . I lost the white loop at one point despite leaving it long , hiccuuup lol. But sussed it by attaching numbered stitch markers to the loops problem solved also helps keep track of colour order . Love it .

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so welcome Brenda, I’m glad you love it!😃🧶

[@clairehowes7699]

I found after round 2 stitch markers after first stitch helps keep your place for next colour so you work the correct amount of stitches. Thank you Robin love this! ❤

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so welcome Claire!😃

I'm a little bit advanced beginner, have only made a couple of plain granny squares and one circle to square so far and I've just made this one!!! Same colours actually because I like the combo and had them on hand. It came out great at first attempt, you're such a great teacher!!! Thank you so much, these are really fun!

You are the best teacher .. its so soothing and enjoyable at the same time .. in fact very much easy to do .. can you please tell how to make the bigger spiral granny square Thanks 😊💕

[@HookedbyRobin]

I've not made one bigger I'm afraid!

[@nainasodhi6706]

@@HookedbyRobin ok .. I’ll try that .. just want to know should I increase and do in the same manner or is there some change in increasing part

[@mariahansson9509]

@@nainasodhi6706hi! Did you try it yet? I’m working on a bigger one and just added 1 extra Dc stitch each row. Finish off the same when that comes (obviously where dear Robin has maybe 16 stitches to cover each side, you’ll have twice that) 😂 Looks awesome!

[@salamanda11]

Such a cool square!! For two fewer tails to weave in, I’m wondering if you could choose one of your 4 colors that are already attached to work those border rounds? You’d need to start in the middle of a side though, so the seam might be more obvious. Something I’m more aware of now after your awesome seamless granny tutorial the other day!

[@HookedbyRobin]

You’re so welcome Wilma!😃

[@BellaStone8609]

I love this design. I can get lost very easily so I’ll probably use a stitch marker on the pink row so I don’t make a mistake

[@HookedbyRobin]

Use whatever it makes it easier for you Bella, great idea!😃

[@sandrahenson1843]

This is a fun square. Much easier than I thought. Question. If you wanted to make it bigger do you stitch an additional stitch and then make two stitches. Example. Increase 3 single stitches then 2 single stitches to increase. Next row 4 single stitches then 2 single crochet in one stitch to increase that row. So each row increases by adding one single stitch then 2 stitches in one stitch. I hope you understand what I just wrote. I really like the pattern. Thanks for the lesson.

[@HookedbyRobin]

I haven't personally tried taking them larger but in theory, I don't see why not - you'd find out pretty quickly if it wasn't working 😀

[@sandrahenson1843]

@@HookedbyRobin, after I learned this I will give a larger one a try and let you know.

[@jayluer6564]

Are you thinking what I’m thinking?! One giant continuous spiral rather than multiple smaller squares joined? I was scrolling thru the comments to see if anyone had suggested this idea yet or not and then I found you! I would be excited to see how that would work up!

[@angelacoleman8426]

I think in the last spiral (the whit onto the pink) a stitch marker will help. What do you think?

[@subliminalphish]

I love it . Could you show something with this square made into an item ? Id love a few ideas for use of this square. Thanks much

[@HookedbyRobin]

I used it for my blanket, you can see a photo here: www.hookedbyrobin.com/blog/festival-pic-n-mix-blanket-crochet-along but you could use it for anything you fancy! A cushion, a cardigan, a placemat etc. There is so many things you can make with granny squares.😃

[@yoli_1_n_Only]

Thank you so much for the step by step tutorial. I am a veteran crocheter and never until your video was able to do a correct spiral. Now with practice I can make an entire piece with many squares. Although, what is the technique to keep the spiral going and not square it off? Is there a tutorial for that?
