Thank you so much for your tutorial, I could never get to grips with this joining method but you have made it so easy to understand 😊

[@ginareyeswoo1705]

Thank you for sharing your JAYG tutorial. Other videos that I have viewed rush thru this process which makes it challenging to see how the ‘actual join’ is completed. Very much appreciate it!🌸

[@sh-k2739]

Thank you for this video. I love making granny squares-by the way, mind blown by your single tail to sew in video. Watching videos to join squares were complicated for me until yours. Again, thank you.

[@pastevens2577]

I love join as you go. Great to see you making videos, Anita, and this is one of the clearest join as you go tutorials I've seen.

[@mlwlouky59]

Thanks! This is the best join as you go tutorial I have seen, and I have watched plenty. Much appreciated.

[@detoig]

Hello Anita, it's lovely to see you have made some new videos. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you in the future. 💜💐🙂

[@judylee3589]

I love how you teach this technique. You're very easy learn from, thank you!

[@skyhowie54]

Hello, Anita! I have been toying with the idea of crocheting granny squares but was daunted by the thought of sewing all the squares together; your video couldn't have popped up at a more opportune time. Your tutorial was thorough and easy to follow. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video.

[@juliewurf7506]

[@patgolner2298]

I love your videos!! Thank you 😊 Would it be possible to show us a joining method if all your squares were made? I went bananas and have stacks of finished squares! Any help will be deeply appreciated!

This is the first tutorial I've watched that makes sense to me!! One question - can this be adapted to solid granny squares?😊

[@paulineclarke5940]

Wow just brilliant 👏

[@susanaikman4577]

Mine name is Susan Aikman From Suriname. Is a lovely granny square❤❤❤❤❤

[@kfslat]

I am crazy about this method and is perfect timing. I am making the. Most beautiful granny squares and I was looking for a joining method that would highlight the squares not the join. What kind of border would you use for this

[@Gina-mx9sp]

Thank you so much for this. It’s the best video I’ve seen so far on joining as you go. One question - do you weave in the tail of each square after you join them?

[@fritula6200]

Gina: l believe that's the only solution what you wrote, there is no other way: because every square has a different colour: therefore to change the colour you need to cut the wool and add a different colour: Funny you mentioned this, l started to ponder on a solution?. What if we used a same coloured wool, would we need to cut the wool endsl: ??? I don't know! I haven't checked it ... The problem would begin when joining 4 individual squares into one square: how does one join all the 4 points into the centre of all the 4 central corners without cutting the wool: The beauty of Anita's pattern, cutting the wool makes it easier, you don't need a pattern in the 4 point centre or for the 4 middle points... because there is NO pattern needed here for the 4 middle points. Usually we all want a pattern here to show-up our work. Have a look where the 3rd square begins to be crocheted...from the very centre...and the 4th square white wool begins to be crocheted at the first opening on the edge of the 3rd square: This cannot be done with one colour wool: I hope l explained this correctly: Anita's method is so easy if you want that style: also Anita's work is a whole different way of crocheting: The most common patterns are, one colour around every square:

[@zainylainy1]

I love your accent! Are you from Australia?

[@fritula6200]

When you joined the first two 2 squares, with the yellow wool, do you cut yr wool off & weave in the end? So, there after... repeat third square cut yr wool off and weave in each end and 4th, and the 5th until the very end ?? Because l didn't see you do that !

[@dawnbrown6461]

How many squares do you crochet before you start joining them together. This is my first join as you go.

[@debramlapergola-cp9ob]

🥰🥰🥰

[@debrawolleycrochet]

Iam not a fan of sewing in tails on grnny square

[@patriciakoenig3966]

So do you wait to block your blanket after its finished or do you make all your squares and then block them then start adding them?
