after crocheting for 51 years I have learnt a new pattern. thank you, I have enjoyed my first ever attempt and have plans now for the square

[@KeepCalmAndCrochet]

That sounds wonderful. Thankyou for such lovely feedback 🥰

[@meimikadzuki7149]

I made a bag with this pattern and it turned out so beautifully 💖💖 Thank you so much

[@girlwithafaceprobably]

Every time I attempt this pattern I get to the fourth round at the very end and I have a chain 4 instead of chain 3 and no room to make the next chain 3. I don’t understand what I’m doing so wrong as I’ve followed the instructions and redone my square multiple times to try and figure out the issue. Could you please tell me what you think I could be doing wrong?

[@andreainniss3399]

Have you figured this out because I am having the same problem.

[@jorjalamb4763]

The chain 5 counts as 1 double crochet, in total there should be 16 double crochets (1 chain 5, + 15 double crochets)

[@tinabryant-lk3wx]

Thanks for sharing this pattern. Great job explaining how to crochet this square.

[@KeepCalmAndCrochet]

@@tinabryant-lk3wx Your welcome. I’m glad you found this helpful ❤️

[@eileenmiller3228]

Thank you for explaining so well. I love making willow!!!

[@kskaties0]

Made two of these with this tutorial today !! Thanks so much for the clear instructions! I swapped to a different color after the 5th (i think) round also, and the contrast makes the flower shape look super defined and cute !

[@KeepCalmAndCrochet]

That’s amazing! Are you planning to make a blanket? Thanks for watching xx

[@CrochetwithClare]

Pretty granny square and clear instructions

[@rebeccafe5085]

Watched another tutorial but didn't quite get it, so i watched yours and it's so clear i got ist immediately. Thank you for the nice and clear instructions!

[@KeepCalmAndCrochet]

Your welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it x

[@mercykimani5032]

Me too!! Thank you for using simple language

[@lilysheets3679]

Is anybody else ending up with 5 corners? I’m very new and confused please help 😭 I keep recounting my stitches and everything seems good until I start doing corners 7:18

[@Doc_Aspy]

Nope. Me too. No idea how I got here...

[@flesh.c0nsum3r]

I’m making a green blanket with these and they’re super cute, thanks for the tutorial

[@Kayworx]

I wish the project was actually cantered in the tutorial and that you showed it flat between each new round and said how many stitches should be in each round. I’m struggling with the fourth round and just realised my 2nd round has 17 stitches instead of 16, so I basically need to start again. Also the autocaptions are completely off base.

[@sonialinsey8083]

Superb tutorial for a beautiful and complex square made of relatively simple stitches. Broken down really well and I actually love the bright color used, makes it easy to see. The way she says “ok” gives me ptsd from all the horrible bosses I’ve had tho 😬

[@KeepCalmAndCrochet]

Ha ha ha! You actually had me laughing out loud. 🤣🤣🤣 I’m a teacher after all. Well atleast you enjoyed watching my videos. 😆😃xx

[@bridgettebelnap1782]

Found this on Pinterest. Do you have a tutorial of how you joined the squares for the blanket?

[@lisakilleen8809]

I've not crocheted one of these before so I was a little nervous and excited to start. Easy to follow and I now have a completed Willow square. 🤩

[@susieinthecountry4434]

yes I can read a crochet but sometime there are some that just need to be viewed by someone actually crocheting it♥ YT has been very helpful in that regard!

[@amandatipple9384]

Thank you for sharing! I just cal and made one. Turned out so cool!

[@sandybateman2504]

I love your Willow square pattern. I have watched many many willow tutorials and find yours the best. Do you have a pdf download pattern. I’m struggling to keep up and I’m sure I’ll wear my remote out with all my rewinds and pauses. Thanks again for the video. You have a lovely voice . It’s a welcome change. ❤

[@bittenhgh1674]

Which rounds can I crochet to make the square bigger ? Thank you for great video 😊

[@KeepCalmAndCrochet]

Thankyou. You can continue working rounds of Dc all the way around to make this square bigger. Alternatively you can make 4 and join them together…

[@RokaaAhmed30809]

Thank you it's really beautiful. I made it just like you 🥹🩷🩷🩷

[@leoj5715]

Love this video. You give such clear instructions. Very easy and simple to follow xx

[@elvermar]

Anyone knows how to do half of this? Like a willow triangle granny? Btw this tutorial is great! Thank you so much💛

[@neeetalife1206]

I love this stitch but am coming across the same problem and I can’t find my mistake. I’m up to the round where you make the square shape (5, 3, 4, 3, 5). I don’t have another two stitches for the last set of 3. If you have any idea what I’m doing wrong, I’d appreciate it a lot!

[@KeepCalmAndCrochet]

neeetalife thanks for getting in touch. You need to double check the number of puffs before that. There should be 16 altogether. Most common mistake is that when you are making puff petals in round 2 some forget to put one just below the stitch where chain 3 is from which leads to the same problem that you are facing. Xx Hope that helps x

[@neeetalife1206]

Keep Calm and Crochet thanks! I’ll try it out 😄

[@andreainniss3399]

Have you figured this out? I have 16 puffs but I still can't fit the last chain 3.

[@chetanaarjun3370]

Very beautiful pattern. Please make a video to show how to join the granny squares.

[@rosemarrysews1624]

Anyone else think she sounds like Sophie from howls moving castle?? Her voice is so calming and sweet

[@robertajo4324]

Somewhere along the line my square became a circle 😂

[@KeepCalmAndCrochet]

It starts off with a circle but then make it into a square in the last step.

[@AllThatShines1000]

This is stunning! Thank you so much for the great clear instructions. 👏💖

[@lidiaflores6071]

Muchas gracias😀 👍🏻👍🏻por compartir bello trabajo 👏👏excelente 👌🏻👌🏻muestra de diseño 😍😍

[@marysharp6366]

I am a little confused, I have a willow pattern also a lacy flower granny square pattern. You seem to make a square combining both patterns. Your granny square looks slightly different than my two squares. Regards from New Zealand.

[@KeepCalmAndCrochet]

There are a variety of willow granny squares. All a little different…

[@odiledomalain2377]

Thank you for your andwer

[@linzyc4696]

This is a wonderful tutorial. But for some reason when it comes to doing the 5, 3, 4, 3...etc I keep having one less than you!! I’m following the tutorial to a T but I keep doing it wrong 😂 apparently

[@sunflowerseed7365]

It's the same with me! Idk where the space just vanishes off too but i only have room for the last 4, i can't fit the three in! Maybe we didn't do enough stitches in the previous row

[@lycia7846]

I love this pattern and are using it to make a top, but I need to make some half/triangle squares - is that possible? Any tips? Would I start each round with fresh yarn, then sew in all the 14 ends?

[@KeepCalmAndCrochet]

Thankyou That sounds amazing! Yes it is possible but really hard to explain over a text .. you don’t have to use fresh yarn for each round. You can continue with same yarn, unless you are changing colours… Hope this helps. Thanks for watching my videos. Happy Crocheting 🧶

[@cherylbrown8675]

can you do that with a thinner crochet thread? also, will you need to sew these squares together

[@kristen8115]

Thanks! I'm a knitter but wanted to try this square. I started watching another video and got confused. Your video was very clear, and I could easily follow along.

[@KeepCalmAndCrochet]

Aw great. Thanks for the feedback. Hope you enjoyed making this as much as I did xx

[@thine.]

i already know how to knit but I'm finally learning to crochet and this is so interesting😄❤

[@lemons1090]

A little late to the party... mine seems to pucker quite a bit and looks more like a bowl than a flat square. Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

[@plasticlope7995]

Dont make it too tight. Loosen it up a bit and itll turn flat again.

[@carolineadams1325]

Than you, ❤I have just made one of these and it’s come out lovely. Read the other comments first and changed playback speed to .75 and perfect!

[@indaylao1501]

very nice pattern, but at the last round, i get confused with the number of chains

[@AlwaysAnAngel]

That's the BEST tutorial I've watched, it was so easy to follow along. I liked the format and the way everything was explained. Even though I'm not as fast as you, I was able to pause and rewind easily and follow along with every row.
