If you hate joining granny squares, try this!

[@tootsiequilt]

I've made quite a few with this join as you go and it's held up over the years. I have one from the early 80's and it's still perfect through countless launderings.

[@Atheenah]

I’ve been crocheting for 50+ years and this is my opinion based on my experience. 😅The strength of the join is going to depend on the yarn you are using. If it’s acrylic it’s likely to have little give but if you are using a wool or cotton, you can count on more give. I don’t hate this join at all for my acrylic yarn granny squares. I don’t like joining granny squares and this makes it easy. Very nice tutorial. Love your channel.

[@kayc.6984]

I love this method so much! Got the hang of it the first time and never needed to go back to a tutorial. And now I can't stop making granny squares blankets 😂

[@donnamartinez6922]

So glad to stumble across this video while im here having my coffee. Im literally pulling out my needle and joing color skein for some square's ill be joining to put together a kitchen curtain. These squares have been sitting here for awhile now and I just haven't wanted to join them with the sew method. Well now i have a new way to join. Thank you!

[@bhookedcrochet]

A granny square curtain sounds beautiful!

[@Jdd924]

My daughter would put them in in the right color for me to stich the best way for me to get a better idea of how to get a better understanding of the art it is important to me as I am not a person who makes the same thing again and I enjoy learning new ways to help people help me relax and enjoy the process of getting a new blanket to the people who have a different way of doing something that is a amazing thing to continue to be a positive thing to do and you do what you want to see Be the best possible way to do something for the best possible way to be happy

[@Minyamire]

I’m also in granny square mode right now. Love all the fun granny content! Working on squares for the canvas bag tote!

[@bhookedcrochet]

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I’m having too much fun with granny squares right now 😄

[@DonnaF.]

Love this! And love the granny square come back projects. Thank you! 🧶 ❤

[@elainestrobel546]

Thank you Soo much for this trick, joining grannies is the bane of my existence! So much easier and not like joining at all. I love making granny squares, but joining just puts a hitch in my giddyap. You're my crochet hero!

[@cerwelt]

I have a crochet reference playlist here and this tutorial is DEFINITELY going into it! Excellent! One of my closest friends died unexpectedly a couple years ago. Her hubby is slowly going through her knitting, crocheting and yarn stash. He gave me 31 gorgeous granny squares (all different) she had crocheted. I was thrilled, but also dreading it because of the thought of sewing them together using a blind ladder or mattress stitch. Now I can crochet them together and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks.

[@ruthdaisy1036]

I used to avoid making blankets with small granny squares until I discovered this method. It really is so easy. I also had to fiddle around with my corners till I worked out the look I liked best and I also prefer to join diagonally. Great video.

[@dawnsperazza7535]

O.m.g. I have been so stumped!! I made a granny square baby blanket 35 years ago using this join technique and forgot how it started. I can now FINALLY start joining my squares and not OCD on whether I like the way the stitch looks because IT IS STILL THE GRANNY SQUARE STITCH😂 thank you!!

[@bhookedcrochet]

Yes!!! That’s awesome! 🙌

[@julliereyes8231]

Wow!!!!!blow my mind!!!!!!more clean and ease for me.tks❤❤❤❤❤

[@jonettedecamp408]

I love this finish and I totally followed and understood the feeling you expressed of crocheting vs. finishing! I can't wait to use this method to complete a granny square blanket in my WIP group that has been weighing heavy on my mind. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@doloresmallia6516]

You did a great job showing how crochet squares can be sewn together. This is the first time I've seen it. Good for the beginners. Keep enjoying crochet. I love it so much although I'm old now❤

[@claudia.crochet.corner]

Go with the lighter color! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this technique with us!

[@ellensmith7995]

I was not able to learn from other instructors, now I know. Will soon try it out. I am so excited. Thank you

[@Shopaholic67-d2l]

Great method! First time doing a granny square throw with 9 squares and this came in handy. Thank you

[@spinningloft]

Thanks! First time on the channel and I found you easy to watch and listen to. I am a beginner crocheter and I totally got it.👏

[@hollycampbell2791]

You saved my life on joining my sunflower granny blanket. This looks so much better than any other way and so easy. Thank you for this CLEAR video

[@Jdd924]

I use crochet to join them together and I have just finished my crazy work and I used different stitches and colors and it was really good and I enjoy the idea of your art and I love that you are happy and excited to see it finished and I hope you try a crazy addition to make your own ideas come to life

[@abigailcoles7074]

ive started m blanket with this join and have never looked back it is easy to learn and fun unlike normal joins

[@serenity6415]

I'm psyched to find your channel. I've been crocheting for 6 months so I still have tons to learn. My biggest problem is taking on complex patterns. I need to crawl before I walk. Too ambitious. I like your easygoing teaching style too. It does make sense - it's not tedious and boring like finishing can be. It still just feels like creating.

[@bhookedcrochet]

I can completely relate! Welcome, and hopefully I can help you learn a few useful skills 💙

[@georgiacorey954]

I like this technique. I'm going to try this next time. I can see how it would feel different because you can get a rhythm going like when you are doing a long flat piece such as a wrap or poncho. It's a continuous rhythmic flow. Ty for sharing.

[@traceysimpson2019]

New subscriber here. I love this tutorial! It is easy to follow, and your instructions are clear. What I love about this method is there is no counting of stitches or worrying whether the stitch count on each square matches up.

[@MargaretFroess]

Oh my gosh. I have been trying forever to learn this. I finally got it. Great instructions!! Thanks so much

[@FrancesOtt-jz7rd]

Now I want to use all these colors I love this join stitch for my granny square blanket,I,m currently making

[@poppyleon_6275]

Thanks! I have a stack of granny's ready to join and was I looking for a different method. Going to try this one out!

[@terid3569]

I love this! You are work smart for sure. You work smarter not harder and everything comes out gorgeous!

[@bhookedcrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@hildagouveia3496]

Thank you for the instructions and your time. I have had squares sitting in a pile waiting to be put together but I could not make up my mind how to connect them. I am following the instructions and you gave and enjoying every minute. Thank you!!!

[@Jdd924]

My daughter did it for me and she says put opposite together and I start from the middle and work the square

[@brandysmith-n3g]

It seems very easy the way that you explained how to connect the Granny Squares! Thank You for Sharing!

[@bhookedcrochet]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RainbowRoseConnie]

Thank you!!! I have avoided making anything in granny squares since my last blanket start more than gosh about 20 plus years ago! If I do a granny stitch, pattern it has always been in a way I didn't have to join. I do believe after seeing this, I will give it another go! Thank you again ❤

[@marcydiver]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have never found someone who holds their hook over handed. That's the way I hold my hook! I am going to subscribe to your channel. This was awesome. You gave wonderful instructions. Have a wonderful weekend ❤.

[@silviacuppari8174]

I join exactly like this! For me, it’s perfect and you don’t need to cut the thread, till the end! 👏👏👏👏

Wow I love this JAYG, so much easier placing the squares on top of one another....thank you :)

I will have to try this method because I dislike having to put the granny squares together at the end. This is kinda like quilting as you go, asI am a Quilter as well. Thank you for sharing this technique 🧶

Outstanding tutorial including the join me as you go bit right at the end😂. Love your work❤

[@margaretmorton946]

I firstly would like to thank you for this video. I found a way to straighten the border edges by chaining 3 which was the same as when I was doing corners

[@kimrexford3848]

Where did you chain 3 at?

So glad I just found your video! I have some granny squares that I had just started joining and I like your technique much better, so the few I had already joined are being taken apart and done with your technique! Thank you so much for sharing this technique!

[@clairewood9607]

Love this technique, wish I used it when I recently did a cardigan, but will be using it soon xx

[@TexasTwins]

I like your joining method & the white or very light colored yarn. But WOW! I really L❤OVE it done with the darker blue!!! Even more than the traditional black last-rnds-and-joinings 👵🏻

[@lorinicholson5837]

At first I just saved this and was gonna watch it later… which probably meant I wasn’t gonna watch it because honestly I have a lot of join as you go’s saved that always end up looking confusing 😅 I kinda got into pattern reading lately so it’s been a bit since I’ve watched one of your videos, but then it clicked in that you and one other KZbinr were a life saver when I was teaching myself how to crochet so I watched it right away. So glad I did because… although it did look confusing… it also reminded me of why you were so helpful to me… the WAY you explain stuff doesn’t miss a beat. It is like you are having a conversation with us. You put your thoughts all the way through the teaching process. I just love hearing the good, the bad and the ugly of crocheting 😂💪 Your style will always make you a prized go to for me no matter how long I crochet! Keep us learning!!! This one I will try and probably try again and again til I get it right… but I’ll be having fun listening to you explain it 😁

[@bhookedcrochet]

This just means the absolute world to me! 💙 I’ll always have this in the back of my mind when making new videos. Thank you so much for that!

[@XtraSparklesPls]

I agree, this is the first time watching and I enjoyed every minute. I usually click out, but was interested to see what you were going to say until the very end!!!❤

[@donnabierema2215]

Thank you ..I never understood it before. ❤❤😊😊😊

[@hayleypratt8513]

Thank You finally a join as you go I understand .. this looks so good .. 🎉😍

[@Visionsofpamelarenee]

Wow love this technique gotta try this 🫶🏾

[@carollloyd8099]

I'm trying to join the 100+ granny squares into a afghan like the one in dark shadowss. I came upon your video and for out the joining method they used...This looks vintage...:)

[@luckysuzful]

This is really pretty! I love the look of it! I feel like it uses a lot more yarn though than a mattress stitch or another method of joining but it's so pretty it's probably worth the additional expense.

[@bhookedcrochet]

Since the join is also the last round of the square, it might not use as much extra yarn as you think!

[@denniskaminski7006]

This is the only join method I use. It's the best way to complete your afghan, IMO

[@Ebonylocks-x1c]

Thank you so much I believe I can do it now. I love making granny squares and now I think this join will really help me a bunch. Thank you again.

[@karenturner-wensel9536]

I'm really looking forward to to trying this out soon!!

[@wizlearning2253]

I like your technique, I’ve single stitched my squares together because the sewing method never worked for me.

[@staceystitches]

I typically join my granny squares with SC in each stick in the back loops only. I like that method because it’s very secure and I creates an interesting border around each square. But I can see where this method would be good for some projects. Like for a vest or cardigan this might look better than my method. I’ve never made either before.

[@deborahdonnelly8423]

60’s granny square items are in high fashion right now.

[@archanamaria2136]

Love this join. ❤❤This would look great and seamless on garments. I would try making the squares with one less row and then use this join method.

[@bhookedcrochet]

Yes! I've been wanting to use this for a cardigan!

[@teresafreeman2203]

Reminds me of piecing a quilt together

My fantasy crochet project is a granny afghan in all different colors. Made a simple one in 1973 in blues with Red Heart yarn and the thing refuses to die. 😆

[@Jdd924]

And using bold colors to make sure you it's a little bit of your own style and you are making art and the only way to go is enjoy your own ideas and suggestions on what you want to do be happy to say I made it and there's no other one in the world who has it is my art and I love the new style and the universe will provide a great craft fashionable and elegant design for you

[@ondinecowell3884]

Explained very clearly.

[@kimrumley4021]

However you choose to bring your squares together, as long as the yarn has been attached well at the start and the finish, it’s going to be fine and not work loose. Strong knots girls, is all you need at the start and the finish.

[@BigButton31]

Hello! Thank you so much for this video. However, I’ve been struggling with this technique. I’ve tried it multiple times and it keeps ending up crooked/slanted. Do you know why that might be? Is it something that would be fixed with blocking? It seems too significant to be fixed with blocking…

[@Kitty-JuneOhSixJanTwentyFour]

Ooo,you have a very tight tension. And my question is, is a single slip stitch join here and there being sturdy enough to hold the weight of for example a huge blanket, when for example you hold the blanket up and bottom motifs pull down etc.

[@patriciaa3462]

this is a different way of doing a "Continuous JAYG" to what I have been doing. There are others on KZbin doing JAYG & CONTINUOS JAYG. Discovered JAYG about ten years ago. Before that only came across in a pattern (& It wasn't called JAYG in those patterns ), but they never said that you could do it on any crochet motif, which you can.

[@marievanzyl9320]

I love this look so good and easy thankyou

[@barbaralintner8514]

I would add a crochet edging all the way around to finish this project if flat.

[@jennystrong8722]

Thankyou.

[@cindyharmon9059]

I so enjoyed this!

[@elizabethh4542]

Yours looks great! Mine looks holey! To make it sturdier, would you be able to join it by doing a double crochet, then joining it to corresponding stitch and keep repeating? Thanks- love all your tutorials!

[@karindewit7836]

Hi, thats a good Technik, i love it ❤❤❤

[@elizabethhayes7069]

Thank you so much for those video, I was looking for a join i liked for a project and it's exactly what I wanted! Do you have any advice on joining rows that are not the same length? I am working on a granny square sweater and the joining instructions are... less than helpful.

[@therealnancysteele]

Im definitely going to try this in my next granny square blanket! Thanks so much. Do you have a tutorial or pattern for that square?

[@bhookedcrochet]

Sure do! They’re worked in different colors, but this tutorial will show you how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpu1noSsrJWcZ7s

This is amazing. I'll be trying this ❤

[@FrancesOtt-jz7rd]

I will watch and rewatch your tutorial,till I get it

[@Jemoda0015]

I love this join! Looks so doable lol. My question with your double crochet.. if you don't use a chain in between clusters, how is it laying flat and not buckling?

[@bhookedcrochet]

That's an interesting question! My best guess would be that the number of double crochets is the same so you're not technically losing a stitch by omitting the chain.

[@leck4emba]

Interesting. I’m liking the idea but would a single crochet be more secure than a slip stitch? Trying to think how that would work. Might give that a try. Will be saving this video! Thank you.

[@raquelrabano976]

Can I plz tell what the color u use 🙏🙏🙏
