What are you going to make with these classic granny squares??

[@tinak.3022]

I’d love to make a blanket with the granny squares. I used to know how to crochet in the most basic way possible. 😂 Let’s hope this goes well.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

@@tinak.3022 it will go great! If you’re interested, I have both a free learn to crochet masterclass and a granny square blanket pattern that I can send you. If you know the basics, the masterclass will help you brush up on things that you might not already know and also teach you some more super helpful tips and techniques. And the granny square blanket uses a super bulky yarn so it works up really quickly but I also take you through the entire thing so that even if you’re not using a super bulky yarn you’ll still know how to create your own granny square blanket using any yarn that you’d like ❤️

I have a problem where the flower in the middle looks wanky and the three double crocheting aren't creating even petals. What could've gone wrong?

[@kaylac.2957]

I just thought I'd let you know that you have SINGLE HANDEDLY taught me how to crochet. I found you 3 years ago and since then anything I want to learn a new stitch, I head on over to Sigoni Macaroni! ❤ Keep on keepin' on!

[@shantagopalan135]

Thanks a lot for the step by step granny square tutorial

[@s.l.bartlett4695]

I've wanted to learn to make granny squares since I started crocheting. Thank you for this easy-to-follow tutorial. Can't wait to get started!

[@kathrynarlenebenning9337]

Thank you so much for going at a speed I can keep up with and the visual.

Best method I’ve seen. Never would have known to chain five, this method make it so easy. Thanks

[@SigoniMacaroni]

You’re so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@Buzz4Mommies]

[@Loloseptina]

You are right. Using this method made my square look so much better, and it's also easier❤❤

[@jgibsonfamily22]

Your tutorials have been the best I have seen! I just started crocheting this last Christmas (2023) and I have learned SO MUCH from your videos and website!

[@veronaroland7078]

Hello certainly this way is better for me. Especially getting the corners together.

[@fmdcrafts]

This has to be one of the best tutorial for beginners! I put the speed at .5 and was able to get it done with no mistakes!

[@ashley-b.]

Agreed! I loved this tutorial!

[@ForchenCreations]

I refreshed my skill of the granny square stitch watching your video. ❤

[@bsfb3ar]

you are brilliant the chain 5 to start makes a world or difference not only it is perfect square but no back tracking needed ( that where it triped me all the time. Boy ! you sure make Granny Squre simple and easy .Thanks so much for sharing

[@isabellabear5779]

I've watched so many of these granny square tutorials but wasn't able to understand. Until I found yours!! You explained it so well thank you!! I'll definitely will be giving this a go when I finish my other crochet project:)

[@sheronenslin4286]

I am making these for charity, so will make as many as possible, thank you so much for this video

[@ass2913]

Thank you so much this was so helpful, I browsed through KZbin for ages and you were the only one to show me how to do it well. Thank You!!!

[@sulloceano]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just starting learning crochet and watched a few other granny square tutorials and was having a hard time understanding the magic circle method. Your method was much more beginner friendly and with practice I got it!

[@kathyspalding3692]

I’m making a Yoda “lovey”. I went through 5 granny square videos before finding this one. Whew, thank you so much!

[@hil210]

Love this much better pattern , and you go easy not too fast not too slow , for me anyway , I can stop if I have to catch up. I’m going to make a bag , I make lots of toy and fancy something easy going not too much to think about Thankyou for this xx

[@serene2036]

[@hmdonkin]

I just made my first granny square, following your tutorial. I’m thinking of doing a family tree temperature blanket with these squares.

[@nicolerobinson3306]

Thank you so much for this tutorial I've watched other granny square ones and even made a blanket out of it not separately. But this tutorial is the easiest one so far I don't have any twisted ends etc.

[@didismith7682]

Thank you so much, I'd just about given up on creating a square after watching several different vids and becoming flustered after each video I finally found your video and gave it another try although I really thought it wouldn't matter, I'd never get it right but because of your great instruction I've finally created my very first Grammy square...yayyyy...thank you, just wanted to let you know what a difference your video made for me. It may seem silly to some over my excitement at finally getting this right but who cares I'm ecstatic!

[@santiedebeer9461]

I eventually got it! Little skew because my tension is not right yet, but I'm getting there, you explain very very well. You must have made a million of these to make it look so effortless! Thanks.

[@carolsnyder7778]

I NOW have a new and better way of making my granny squares!! Thank you!! Love your videos!!💜💜💜💜🧶🧶🧶🧶

Hi, i just got yarn today and ive never crocheted,i made the magic circle but i cant chain like ill wrap the yarn around my hook and when i go to pull through the slipknoght the yarn will just unwrap itself if that makes sense and ive tried a million tutorials and times but i cant figure it out, could u maybe make a video on it so i czn learn how to chain or explain it to me? Thank u Edit- im using loops and threads acrylic yarn and the recommended loops and threans 5.5 hook

[@Loloseptina]

Thank you!!

[@seriousyak4734]

I'm really sorry, but I gotta be honest. As a beginner, I'm having a very hard time following the chains, especially the double crochets. Could you please make a tutorial where you slow the process down? I really want to make granny squares.

[@debbiewoolard9449]

it would be nice if you stopped and showed your work more often so the newbies can compare. thank you for the video.

I’m using some yarn that I didn’t have tagged to a specific project so I may just make a bunch of the squares and see what I can turn it into. Definently need a few more practice rounds though…my first one had a strong resemblance to the one in the video but it’s definitely not that same lol.

[@VernaBradshaw]

I haven’t been doing granny squares because of the slip stitching over. I’ve seen another way that works, but this follows more of the traditional way. When slip stitching, what would happen if you slipped into to loops of the chain? (My normal way of joining.)

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Do you mean into the chain 2 space? I think you could slip stitch into the actual chain if you wanted to but I think it looks cleaner to slip stitch into the chain space especially when changing colors

[@VernaBradshaw]

@@SigoniMacaroni I'm sorry. I never explain myself well enough. When finishing up a row and you connect into chain 3 of the 5, I'm always connecting into the V part of the chain but I see you only connect with one leg of the chain. Does it get bulky if you connect with the V? Guess I can try and find out myself...LOL

[@patriciaharris1146]

What is your method for changing colors

[@SigoniMacaroni]

When you slip stitch into the chain 2 space to end the round, that’s when I change colors. Next week I will be releasing the granny square blanket pattern and I will show you how to change colors in that tutorial

[@chronicstitcher7933]

Nothing like a traditional granny square. At some point we started to refer to all crochet squares as "granny" when they actually are not, I think that's sad. This is a granny square.
