Mesh Granny Square - Simple Scrap Crochet Pattern & Tutorial

[@anitaruiz8275]

Hi Jayda, what a great way to use those extra scraps. I bet this would make a beautiful summer afghan. Would like to see a future tutorial on this project.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Yes, in cotton! Thank you for the suggestion 😊

[@karentwardowski9084]

You are a genius! I love this square! Now I will be frogging my almost completed granny shrug to use this square!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Karen! You'll have yarn left over!

[@ytap5678]

Thank you Jayda for your speedy reply. I will try both of your suggestions. That was very kind of you to write out the instructions for me and others. Your gift of teaching has helped me so much and you have a great camera and you don’t go too fast for those of us who struggle a bit. ❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 A dozen roses for you!

This will make a great dish cloth or face cloth plus it will air dry quickly because it is thin! Awesome video!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Yes it will!

[@faeryflutter3]

Love this! It would be good in a triangular granny too ❤️

Hi Jayda and Mr.Instiches! 👋 Thank you! I appreciate this mesh lesson! 🧶

[@JaydaInStitches]

You are so welcome! Have a great week Vivi!

[@ytap5678]

I have enjoyed making these mesh Granny squares. I used muted fall colors and they are so pretty, but now I’m not sure the best way to join to complete my blanket. I’ve looked at all your tutorials, however Im still not sure the best way and how to do the corners and if I should be skipping stitches. I know there are others who would appreciate help to join. Thank You so much Jayda.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Yvonne! I would opt for one of two suggestions, depending on the project 1) sewing - a simple whip stitch through each set of stitches and chains (or the spaces) or 2) chains and slip stitches - this continues the open mesh-like appearance (join with a sl st in a corner, chain 1 or 2, sl st into the next corner sp of the other square, ch 1 or 2, sl st into the next sp along the first square, ch 1 or 2, sl st into the next sp along the other square etc.). It will use up more yarn and it will also add some width and height to your project, so something to keep in mind 💗

[@valferguson8322]

Hi Jayda, I’ve been watching a lot of your tutorials lately. I like this one a lot. It would make a pretty shawl, too for spring/sumner. Nice n wide n long. Joined with a single crochet abd border with first single crochet, then the back single crochet where you go into the stitch before to complete the single crochet. I think that stitch is so pretty. Also do it on the Afghan. I’ve saved all your tutorials I’ve watched! I was hoping for more Christmas granny squares. All I could was a bauble one. I usually watch “Alison Crochet” Sges in Scotland, does a lot of baby blankets but uses nice stitches that I use for other items! She’s very calming. And explains thjngs well like you do. But I’ve been crocheting for over 50+ years, so I’m pretty advanced. It I still love simple patterns!! Like this one. Thanks a lot

Hi Donna! You can certainly just keep going with this pattern :) to avoid having that funny "lean" you might want to change directions at the end of each row. The pattern doesn't change though, you still (dc, ch 2) in every DC st and treat the corners exactly the same way :)

I'm making a bunch of these to join together for a baby blanket. What kind of joining stitch would you recommend?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Ann! These can be joined just about any way you like. For an invisible seam, the mattress stitch is a nice choice. For something more substantial the slip stitch join is quite firm and creates a solid "frame" for each square too. 😊

[@amandademarco5527]

Hi Jayda, How would you join these squares?

Could this pattern be done using half double crochet instead of DC?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! I haven't tried that myself, it might work (you should give it a try!) but I wonder if the 2 chains between the shorter stitches might skew the pattern?

So i have done this for a throw blanket. The middle section is messed up and will not lay flat. Can you help me? Can you do a video making one square a blanket?

Hi Kimberely, have you blocked it? That would help any tension in the centre of your blanket smooth out: Steam Blocking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fobPo3acbq53fKs Wash and Block: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oovYepx6fcmjipo

[@patriciaabrum3779]

This square is very lacey. How do you join the squares together without it looking bulky or messy?

Hi Patricia! I would sew them (using a whip stitch or hidden running stitch) or use a lacy join (like chains and slip stitches) :)

[@samanthastewart7133]

I have a question for you how do you keep your sides straight

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Samantha, the pattern lends itself to straight edges and it always helps to pull out those 4 corners at the end of every row :)

@@JaydaInStitches can you make your squares what ever colored you want

[@patriciamckay384]

Hi jayda how would you join these squares?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Patricia, that would depend on the look I was going for: for obvious seams sc or slip stitch, for less obvious (all same colour square edges) sewing whip stitch and for invisible seams, ladder stitch. A mesh join would be really cute too if you wanted to continue the open look, BUT that would create a diagonal shaping between the squares, so that wouldn't be my first choice 😊

What stitch do you think would be the best to join these cute little squares

Hi Kelli! Personally, I would likely sew them (whip stitch) but you could also use a join as you go technique where you link up in the ch-2 sps. That would also create an interesting zig-zag between squares :)

How do you join together

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Karen, you can join them in several ways, just like regular grannies. You would use the top of each dc stitch and each ch space. I prefer to whip stitch (sew them) together, it uses less yarn and is a fairly low-key join. We have a tutorial on joining here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ-9o59qi9iZn5o

Could this be used as the base for wiggly stitch?

It's a mesh, so it could be used the base of several stitches that require a mesh or lattice for their foundation 😊
