Just finished this for my niece for her graduation! Thank you for the wonderful instructions!!

[@vchick2010]

i really enjoyed making this square...all i did was watched and listened carefully, STOPPED THE VIDEO, followed her instructions and when i finished with that segment pressed play for the next instruction...however, in think round 4 ,she only demonstrates half the round and if you are not paying attention she is onto the next round....so that may have stumble some but i caught what she was doing....it's really an easy tutorial ....thank you...you have a new subscriber 😊

[@chaoxiangalula4086]

Thank you so much! I really like how you repeated things and how straightforward your instructions were!

[@fayereeves6568]

Best instructions ever. Very clear, at just the right speed. Fabulous!

[@Lenysea]

Thank you!

[@alamaluxner]

At the beginning of Round #5 after the first corner when you chain 4 to do the double crochet in the single crochet of Round #4 you didn’t mention to chain 3 before adding the single crochet in the middle of the 7. You did mention it once you got to the next side though. Just wanted to mention that for anyone else that may have missed that like I did. I love the pattern though and your directions are super easy to follow. Thank you!

[@patriciasnodgrass6697]

Yeah, i didn't catch that until i started writing down the instructions. Good eye.

You are really the best. I've only been crocheting since the start of the year but I've done a few scarves, hats, some amigurumi, 2 granny square bags and all had big flaws and mistakes in them. This is the first tutorial where I've been able yo completely follow along with you and my square has turned out so perfect. I'm in shock lol I always mess up all my projects. I keep looking at my square finished and I'm so in love with it. Thanks so much. Going to try to keep going and make a blanket from these squares but also when I feel abit braver I will venture into your other videos. Thanks so much. I'm so happy 😆

[@Kjherstin]

Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. I have the Willow granny square pattern in the "Jan Eaton 200 Blocks" book but it uses UK terms and no symbols chart, which is very frustrating not to have included with a pattern. Your video is easy to follow along, you are clear and concise, a great teacher. And thank you so much for sharing the symbols chart in the description box, making it easier to crochet and simple to edit the changes you made to the pattern. Your edits made this granny square look even better in my opinion.

[@ammarahmed132]

I've just started crochet and made 6 of these!Really simple tutorial 10/10 would recommend

Now I heard you describing the pattern while crocheting. This too is remarkably clear and wonderful

Wow! I did it too. Had to rewind the video and my work a few times but I got there in the end. As a beginner, I'm rather proud of myself

[@benchapman808]

Thank you for an amazing tutorial! This was my first square ever and I'm using it now for a fundraiser. FYI there is a small omission on the edit at 12:07 where you skip mentioning the 3 chain stitches before the single crochet into the 4th stitch of the 7 double crochets of the previous round 🥴 I didn't see this until my second square but it's all good now. Thanks again, and i love your accent btw ✨🙏✨

[@marieravi3206]

I just wanted to comment on it too! Mistakes happen, even to the best of us! but your comment should definitely be higher up, if not even pinned to the top, so beginner who rely on demonstrations can see it 😊

[@WendyGowans]

Thanks for this comment …. I’m about to pull out this round for the 3rd time and do it correctly 😅 I’m one of the newbies that rely on audible instructions !!

[@jms18uga]

Yes! That almost really messed me up, but I caught it on the 2nd side, rewound and visually saw that she chained 3.

Thank you for persevering!! 😅

[@barbd9887]

Also I have never been able to read a pattern so KZbin videos have helped me immensely. Your pattern was written so well between watching the video and comparing it to reading the pattern I think it improved my ability in that area. You are a great teacher of crochet.❤️

I'm french and i found your tutorial easy and fun to follow.The result is really gorgeous.Thank you ! ☺️

You do a really good job of teaching, thank you. Most repeat each step of the stitch way to long. You keep it short and sweet.

[@phylcar1022]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I learned to crochet a little bit about 3 years ago and made some very basic things but found it frustrating and haven’t done it since. Yesterday was the first time I’ve picked up a crochet hook since then and I knew I really wanted to learn how to do a granny square so I could make a beautiful blanket. Your tutorial was so easy to follow and my granny square came out beautifully and almost perfect! This was so gratifying and I know I will enjoy to continue to make these until I can piece together a blanket.

[@Lenysea]

Oh, Olivia! Thank you SO MUCH for your kind words and positive feedback! I am beyond happy to know that I could help you get back into crocheting. Please, promise to never give up ☺️

This is so lovely - I would like to make this square the center of a granny square blanket - so now I want to just granny square around it to make a continuous granny square blanket - think I am describing this - but I can’t figure out how to connect the granny squares stitches to the edges of this square ... maybe chain 3, sc then next row put the 3dc cluster into the chain? But not sure the number of stitches work out to do that ... thank you for considering this question - happy day!

[@tmckmusic8584]

This tutorial is not for the faint of heart. (Not a beginner video). She skips details (specifically the chains) and works very quickly. But, if you have some knowledge of how a pattern works, you'll be fine, and you'll be able to fill in the gaps as I did. ☆It may help to watch the whole video before beginning, so you know where she's going. If you can get through it, it's worth it. Very beautiful Granny Square pattern.

[@decukoca654]

Hi, Im new here so thank you for your demo! In reference to a previous comment, It is rather fast to follow as a beginner, but for someone who can't yet follow patterns and a newcomer to crochet, i managed to "WATCH, PAUSE, WORK, GO BACK, WATCH AGAIN AND REPEAT" and I have managed to run a fair few lovely lacy squares off this way this afternoon sat with my feet up feeling sorry for myself with a flu bug! So thank you for your demo - you have taught me to run before I can walk! My only complaint is a personal one - I have a sore middle finger left hand from prodding and poking it too much with the crochet hook! OUCH!! That said the elegent looking square is well worth it!
