How to Connect Granny Squares with Slip Stitch Braids Method

Have you wondered how to connect granny squares together with a crochet hook?
In this video I'll show you how to connect granny squares together using the slip stitch braided crochet method. It's an easy technique that allows you to make your work look nice and neat. Plus the back and forth slip stitches forming the braids give your work quite a nice 3D texture. There's no sewing involved with this one, except the normal weaving in of ends.
I'm using a size H 5 mm crochet hook for my sample and worsted weight 100% acrylic yarn. Feel free to use any other size yarn and hook for your granny squares and slip stitches.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I hope you enjoy this video! Donna Wolfe from Naztazia

Hi, Naztazia. This is how I connect granny's, Jacob's ladders 🪜 squares etc. It makes a beautifull stitch pattern. I call it the cross over slip stitch pattern. 😊 Thank you for showing the Fiber world.its a great technique, strong stitch. See you on the tube 😊😊.

I have just discovered you! Oddly, from my Google home page and not YT. I ha e been inundated with YTers that have only started crocheting with the past year and are posting tutorials! I have been crocheting for 50 years and need well your type of content to he honest. ❤❤❤ Just scrolling through your thumbnails is just so aesthetic that I am going to binge!!! This is a method for granny square connections I have not tried. I have always used a mattress stitch. I have the perfect pattern I will use this on! Thank you so much!!!

[@naztazia]

Thank you very much for your kindness!

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍🤩💝Now I have to find out what a *mattress stitch* is.

[@lottianne]

I am currently finishing granny squares in the Aussie Rules team colours that my daughter and I barrack for. This looks like the perfect join for my project.

[@naztazia]

Thank you!!!

[@dawnjones2971]

@naztazia what is the yarn used here? The primary colors are absolutely perfect!

[@naztazia]

Thank you! I've been using yarn from my collection, some of which goes back 25+ years. For stitch videos like this, I think the blue one was from the late 90s. It's 100% acrylic, worsted weight, but it seems to have been made thicker back then.

[@CeeceeWhip]

Does the braid sit above the granny square? ...like a 3D effect? Wonder how it would look with a different weight yarn.

[@naztazia]

Yes, it is does, kind of like if you glued on a braided cording on top of the granny squares. It's very cool to use different weight yarn. Even thin crochet thread creates a neat effect!

[@MissionForShalom]

I call or the zig zagstitch. No matter what we call it works.

[@tetelake2243]

👏👏👏👏👏queda muy lindo

[@ainarrosyad7175]

hi donna...can i know what yarn in this project...thanks

[@MariaMartinez-xm4fl]

❤

[@zurinamdkassim9354]

Do I use the same hook to join the squares which I used to crochet the granny squares?

[@naztazia]

That's up to you. I generally do use the same hook, unless I want the edging to be slightly larger (then I use a larger hook).

[@zurinamdkassim9354]

@@naztazia tq so much

[@glynndsouza3855]

Hi, would it be possible to share the pattern of the Granny Squares shown in the video? Thanks in advance.

[@sharoncasto9535]

Aww I would love to make this but changing color so much would drive me insane… 😂

[@naztazia]

You could do granny squares all in one color, or, get one of those yarns that changes colors slowly. Then use this method to connect them all.

I can do the same with knitting I’m making square blocks first time doing this way, the other way was just add new balls to the yarn and keep knitting until I got to the size I wanted

What dovyou recommend if we'd hope to create an outer edge looking as similar as possible? Gorgeous!

[@naztazia]

The crochet reverse single crochet stitch, sometimes called the crab stitch.

[@tbaumeister1]

Love this look! Do you have a recommendation for a complementary boarder stitch?

[@naztazia]

Yes, the reverse single crochet, sometimes called the crab stitch, would work. I have a tutorial on doing that border: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5awmp-lq6ZkodU

TUDaH RBaH (thank you very much, in Hebrew). // SHLM & HaB (peace & love). The Name of the Creator is Hayah asher Hayah, as what He told Moshah (Exodus 3:14), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. There is a curse to the G-o-d name (Isaiah 65:11-12), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. All followers of the Messiah are to do the 7 appointed times (Leviticus 23), but no more animal sacrifices, following the Crucifixion of the Messiah. We are now of the order of MLK TSDQ (King, righteous), to Whom ABRaHM tithed. Ask the Messiah to be your personal Savior. He said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). ...for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Hayah (Romans 3:23). The wages for sin is death but the gift of ALaHYM is Everlasting Life through Messiah Yahushgh our Master (Romans 6:23). That if you confess with your mouth the Master Yahushgh and believe in your heart that ALaHYM raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved (Romans 10:9). He Himself is an Atoning Offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world (1 John 2:2).
