[@born2bead]

Finally someone who explains how to do this in a simple manner plus how to join the corners on the second row! I’ve been trying to do this from written tutorials and it’s a hot mess so thank you!

[@dw6150]

I have been crocheting for many years, and you have taught me so much that I was taught when I was a child. Thank you. I love your tutorials. My grandmother do beautiful work, but you have simplied some for me.

[@KCCAT5]

I started this years ago from a written tutorial and got four squares joined in one row and put it down and haven't been back to it in five years lol I'm finally coming back today to finish off projects that I haven't finished that's my goal for 2022 that and to stay on my diet. And you make it so much easier than the written tutorial that I was following that I can't even find anymore. So thank you for doing this

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad it was helpful to you, KCCAT5! Thank you. 🌼🌸🌼

[@tammygurl64]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful tutorial!❤️😊 I can never decide on the best way to join my squares and always feel like my corner joins could (or should) be better. I like the looks of your favorite way to join best. You are correct in that it'll take more time to finish... especially for someone who's already slow (like me - lol). It does look really great your way though! ❤️ Thanks again!🙏❤️😊

[@claudette4113]

What a brilliant tutorial. Thanks so much for your detailed and clear instructions

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad it was helpful to you, Claudette Davis! Thank you. 🌼🌸🌼

[@barbarahirzel2883]

This is such an awesome teaching moment for you. Great video. I have begun this on a blanket for my unborn grandson. It looks great! Thank you. I must subscribe now!

[@barbarahirzel2883]

And now I am really excited. After subscribing, I see you do left handed videos, too! Not necessary but much appreciated. I can follow a right handed video but left handed ones make it so much easier! Thank you!!!

[@MsSaka100]

How would you determine the order in which to join squares for a granny square pullover or vest or cardigan?

[@suesmith948]

I consider myself to be a intermediate crocheted and I would like to say that I Appreciate your details about it all❣️❣️ and Thank You for your time and your Beautiful Creations 🙏💯❤️

[@pamelasmith1699]

Christa is such a great teacher, I can always follow her tutorials!

[@phoenixroseburg2241]

Thank you so much! I was struggling trying to find a nice and unique way to connect my granny squares for a blanket I am making until I came across this video! I normally struggle with trying to understand what is being done in videos but with your videos I understood perfectly! Thank you so much!🥰🥰

[@dianeharrington1103]

I think that make your granny square more I don’t do them because I don’t know how to put them together

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad it was helpful to you, Sparkle Sisters Legacy! Thank you. 🌼🌸🌼

[@kellysilversmith5422]

Beautiful piece and instructions are just lovely. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@dotti6383]

Thank you Christa for this video. You’re the best. I checked others and haven’t seen a better way of joining the squares. It’s forgiving an beautiful in the same time.

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh thank you so much, Doina D! 🌺🌻🌸

[@vanessanda]

Thank you so much! My little granny square blanket looks simply stunning! That braid stitch is simply superb and adds to the beauty of my blanket!!!!

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad, vanessanda! Thank you!! 🌸🌼🌺

[@tenamarievirden1908]

Thank youuuuu so very much for this tutorial, I am finding this to be an easy, but absolutely beautiful way to join my squares for the blanket that I am making for my daughter.☺️ I appreciate the way that you explain what you are doing!

[@tenamarievirden1908]

Ohhh! I got so excited that I forgot to mention that this will be the first blanket I’ve made in squares so this tutorial is a Must for beginners 🙏☺️

[@kayceegreer4418]

Beautifully done... this is something I had not seen before, and appreciate you giving it to us.

[@lilMissAdoria]

Thank you for this! I'm working on a willow square afghan, and I've been searching all over KZbin for a video tutorial of a more decorative join than the usual slip stitch, whip stitch, single crochet stuff. I've been looking for 2 days, after the tutorial I was going to use, a v stitch pattern which wasn't clear enough for me to follow because of my brain fog, and it was done one a traditional granny square, not a square with a single crochet border which I have been doing. I didn't want to have to try and fiddle with it to modify it, and finally today this came up in my reccomended. I just tried it out and it looks fantastic, just what I was hoping for. Thank You! This video popping up has really made my day. ♡ from Canada!

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad, Doriana.Dl! I'm sure it looks beautiful!! Thank you!! xx

[@dawnkurtz9541]

Beautiful! Going ti try this with small 3 1/2” squares for baby blanket. Thanks!

[@susanngin3481]

Very nice piece of granny square n borders tutorial....tks for sharing....

[@SecretYarnery]

So glad you enjoyed it, Susan Ngin!! Thank you! 🌷🌺🌷

[@kathiejones1612]

Thank you for this video. I was looking for a new, different way to join squares for an afghan. I wanted something special, not just an ordinary join. I had some scrap yarn circles to squares blocks and used this join for them as a practice for the blanket I’m making for my daughter. The practice afghan turned out beautifully! It took simple blocks and made a stunning blanket. Your video explains this join so clearly, it was easy to follow. I am now working on joining the squares on the gift for my daughter. I know it will be even more beautiful! Thank you. I’ve subscribed and plan to check out all of your other videos.

[@marilyngrayCraftandcrotchet]

It looks really good!!! 🙂 Thank you. Great tutorial.

[@lindaburrows1333]

I have nearly finished my floral granny squares for my youngest grandaughter & finding your tutorial was a blessing as I so wanted a pretty & different join for them. Your tutorial explains so well & has saved me tons of time searching. A thank you sent your way x

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh thank you so much, Kathy Welch! 🌺🌻🌸

[@lisahamilton6205]

I have been searching for a nice and easy to follow tutorial on how to do this join. Thankyou for providing that. 🌻

[@laramaaike3050]

Me too. I have seen 12 or more videos and this is the best so far. It looks nice, flat and "simple" (simple enough to do when playing the video in the beginning)

[@alisonjaffrey3439]

Thank you for the easy to understand instructions, this now makes sense to me.

[@elizabethgauntley1431]

At last! I have searched and searched for someone to show how to assemble the squares into a blanket using this flat braid ( 4 squares doesn't help) help). Thank you so much for your clear and uncomplicated video.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks, @elizabethgauntley1431! 🌸👍🌷

[@randomchance7796]

[@sharondonovan1403]

thank you for this beautiful well explained join braid..... my blanket will be beautiful...

[@shellyrichardson5918]

Love this. I’ve tried 4 other joins and don’t like the way it turns out. Hopefully I can do this! Love the way it looks!! Update: I love it so much and it’s actually quicker than the invisible joins that end up wonky unless you’re really good. (I’m not) 🥰

[@charmurry3585]

I have a lot of Christmas projects going now but I hope to make this after the first of year I already have yarn. Love this afghan 👍

[@MsSaka100]

Just looking for ideas to join squares for a sunburst flower pullover (or cardigan-haven’t decided yet) that I’m creating. This looks like the perfect join to use. Decorative, but not too loose.❤

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad, Patricia Greenl! Thank you!! xx

[@jyslouey]

Just the tutorial I need for a solid granny join. I've been trying to learn this technique for a long time and have only recently mastered the granny cluster join which can only be applied to granny squares with a shell/chain two/shell. For my solid squares I have had to use the double crochet join for each square giving it a ridged frame but now that I have seen your tutorial, I'm going to use this for my future projects. Thank you again for this wonderful tutorial.

[@SecretYarnery]

So glad it was helpful to you, Judy Louey! Thank you! xx

[@cindydurran9519]

Beautiful...this is my next project. Thank you. - Cindy

[@livc1981]

This is so pretty! I've done reversible knit squares (uniform colour) & cannot find a pretty way to join them. Do you think this would work for knit? Would I still have to do a single crochet around each square? The relief patterns are all different, some sides have no neat selvedge.
