No Sew Granny Square | Multicolour Granny Squares WITHOUT all the ends!

[@lindasyarnbarn5176]

I REALLY needed this video 68 granny squares ago. Oh well! I know for next time now. Lol

[@heidiburford]

Oh my god! Right!! 😅

[@veroniquecastel9582]

Same! 😂

[@jeanmarsden1575]

Me too!

[@kimfridey7771]

Well, I just completed my first multicolored granny square with out ends and I loved it. So easy to weave them in this way and it looks neater. Thank you again for sharing this technique. 👏 👏

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@fritula6200]

This method strengthens your whole piece: Also this method helps you to change your way of thinking: helps you "get out" of the rut, leaving the ends to last: believe me this is the better method: Once you change yr thinking, you will be grateful you persevered: It's all about changing bad habits, to easier habits: Thank you to this teacher :.

[@georgiacorey954]

I've been crocheting for decades. I love Grannies & think this is a great shortcut technique I need to remember. Ty for sharing. I agree with you, this actually it's still weaving in the ends. But that's ok. I like this quicker shortcut. And thank goodness you did 3 chs in the corners & 1 in-between clusters. Somewhere along the years younger folks have not been doing this & now say they wonder why their Grannies are curling & need to be blocked.

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@jsth2breethe]

I’ve been using this technique the last few months and it works so well. Thank you!

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome :)

[@teresamcdaniel2121]

It's always great to find a method you like and works for you. Watching this tutorial I still feel like if you sew as you go it takes almost the same amount of time. I'll keep sewing...

[@bellacococrochet]

Possibly at first, but it defo saves time once you get in the swing of it x

[@kts808]

I know I’m a little late to the video but thank you so much for this!! I hate starting with a normal ch3 and this helps thicken it up a little and it looks great! I DETEST sewing in ends and this is so perfect!!! I’ve watched a lot of other videos with other no-sew techniques and this is by far the best one out there!! This is such a game changer, THANK YOU!!

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome :)

[@anitaswart.]

Thank you, this is brilliant. I see some people can't try anything new, but at 73 and a lot of crocheting and knitting I'm all for a really clever and substantial way I will do this. I have just done 144 blocks and even sewing as I go, this is much quicker. Threading yarn every round, threading, cutting and not losing my needle. This will be my new way. Thank you

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@kathyfowler4807]

Love this, did start using this technique a few squares ago by sheer chance but glad to know it will survive a wash! Really like the clear instructions ❤

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you :)

[@kriston_]

For starters, the way you started the magic circle blew my mind... I picked up crocheting as a hobby for the new year and was taught to chain 3 or 4 and work back into the first chain. This method wasn't the best for me because the center would always look bulky. I came to learn how to do one thing and got an extra tip. Great video!

[@bellacococrochet]

I'm glad it was helpful :)

[@maryweimer746]

I’ve been doing that already. Nice to know someone else does as well. Yay!

[@kathym.4307]

I love it! I usually avoid patterns with a lot of color changes because I hate dealing with the ends. This is a game changer for me. Thanks!

[@bellacococrochet]

You're welcome :)

[@jeantaylor6693]

This looks so much more secure. My first granny square blanket is already coming apart so this method will be used from now on. Worth the small amount of extra time to save all the ends.

[@bellacococrochet]

I'm glad it's helpful :)

[@sylviaseri4235]

What I have been doing since I started crocheting is while the yarn is on the hook, I slip stitch into the next few chains ending in a ch3 space (preferably a corner). Then I leave a long tail, cut the yarn, turn the square around n slip going backwards into the next chain 3 sp. This also leaves no tail to weave in and only takes an extra minute to do. It’s basically the same as your method only I cut after slip stitching. Hope this helps!

[@bellacococrochet]

Thanks so much for watching! What did you think to this technique? x

[@melaniebailey2774]

Does this mean you no longer gave right side and a wrong side (with the turning over)?

[@bellacococrochet]

@@melaniebailey2774yes you won’t have a right and wrong side with this x

[@orapronobis2149]

AMAZING! We were always told no knots! But I love this method and will be using it. Thank you

[@cenacronis6658]

Great tips that I will definitely incorporate into my next granny square project!

[@riannecole6448]

Been doing this for a while, but I still stitch in the ends but your technique will be better for the ends. Thank you, I taught myself to crochet using your tutorials. Your brilliant ❤

Hi Bella coco , you've been my favorite person to learn crochet from I made alot of crochet tysm❤

This technique is FABULOUS! SO secure! Thank you!!!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@lindaburrows1333]

I've been crocheting for many years & developed my own way of sewing in ends (controversially using a hidden knot too) but I will defintely be giving your way a go. I'm just sewing in the ends of 98 squares (for 2 blankets) so anything that will make my life easier in future is a major plus. Thank you so much for sharing this. ❤

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@saraalyea2071]

Weaving in ends made me stop making granny squares. This is amazing!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!!

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome :)

[@blipp3062]

This is BRILLIANT!! Thank you so much! Could have definitely used this when making a granny square sweater recently, but I’m more likely to make another one now because of this shortcut. 😊

[@bellacococrochet]

Glad it was helpful :)

[@quietmindstitcher9326]

I’m going to give this a try. I actually don’t mind seeing in ends but I am also up for learning new things. Xx

[@juliadoran5506]

I think I'll keep sewing in my ends. 😊

[@dianne8929]

[@DemonRapunzel]

I will honestly do anything to avoid weaving in ends at the end, so this is perfect for me 👍🏾

[@stacyanderson7709]

I really like it. So easy to do and it goes really quick. Thank you for sharing.

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@dawnamendola8690]

I have seen this done with a slightly different technique and it works , I will give this a try ! Thank you . I do prefer magic circle rather than a chain 4 but to avoid sewing in the tail from the magic ring , do the chain up 4 method to create magic ring and that tail is secure no need to sew in , at least that works well for me ..

[@mushundir5238]

Ohhhhh I plan to use granny squares for my next temperature blanket, so this will come in very handy! Thanks! 😊

[@bellacococrochet]

You are welcome :)

[@jeniprickett4039]

I love the fact that you mention UK & USA crochet terminology. I'm in Australia ❤

[@M4D__Magpie]

GAME CHANGER!! I hate weaving in my ends. I found a way to manage the new rows tail but this does both the last row and the current. Thank you!!

[@bellacococrochet]

You are very welcome :)

[@margotchurchill5593]

Wow… I’m going to try this… added to the continuous join method, this looks like a game changer for granny squares!

[@orapronobis2149]

February 15 2024 Maryland USA: How brilliant is this! Plus I believe it gives a beginner like myself a better chance of a very clean granny squares.

[@aztigerval1979]

Very cool I love it!! I have avoided multi color granny's because of the sewing in the ends 😂 now i don't have to!

[@debbieshaw9976]

What a fabulous way of sorting out those ends. Love it, thanks so much for sharing this little gem, definitely going to have a bash at that ❤

Thank you :)

[@hazelevelyn]

Thanks loads for this. I’ve recently returned to crochet after a gap of several years and came upon your videos by chance. I’ve been sewing in my ends but will definitely try this technique. I love the clarity of your explanations and recently found your book so have bought it. Keep up the excellent work!

Used to do this instinctively but didn't much like the first thickened stitch.. I see that you drop the tail of the yarn for the last pull through of the st. And you make more than one st carrying the tail yarn . Will definitely be trying this out whenever I grab my hook next.. Thanks for sharing

[@paulaferrari2333]

Hi and thank you for this great way for securing yarn ends in granny squares. Do you have any tips for cotton yarn? I find the knots dont stay closed and ends manage to wriggle out even before I'm finished the square!

[@bellacococrochet]

You’re welcome! 😊 You do need to pull quite tightly on the knot to make it secure, and remember to leave a really long tail so that you can give it a little tug as you need to as you work it in.

[@paulaferrari2333]

@@bellacococrochet Thank you! I've tried this and hopefully it will survive the rigours of life as a granny square scarf!

[@veroniquecastel9582]

Great idea! Video saved!

[@bellacococrochet]

Thank you :)

[@jessicajanssen3485]

It is a bit heavy on yarn. Would the stitches done with two threads not be bulkier than the others? Will try, but not convinced l'll stick with it. Happy crocheting.

[@bellacococrochet]

Personally, I don’t think they look bulkier. If anything, it stops having the look of a skinnier chain at the beginning. I know this won’t be for everyone though! Xx

I’m currently making my daughter a granny square dress and it’s kinda gathering dust in my wip pile because I hate sewing the ends in so I’m definitely going to try this!

[@lesleyleake7391]

I like this ... alot.Thank you😊

[@TheNakedEwe]

I learnt to make granny squares from my aunt when I was 10 and I’ve been making them tor years. This is the se one time I’ve seen a video where a knit is tied when starting a new row. I don’t understand why. I’ve never found it necessary in all of the granny squares I’ve made. When burning the tail from the completes row, instead of forcing the yarn backwards along the row (it naturally lays to the right), I use the hook to pull the yarn through the tops of the stitches toward the corner to the right of where you end and then cover the tail with the stitches in the new row at the corner. I also cover the new tail at the same time.

[@susanburns1052]

I’ll have to try this with some scraps of yarn. Looks fairly easy to follow but I never know until I try.

[@bellacococrochet]

Good luck, let me know how you get on :)

[@MarkLamb-e9g]

Hi! Great tips. Just curious… what is the advantage of turning the work over for each round, please?

[@theramblingdreamer]

The centres and first few rounds of granny squares tend to warp if you continually work them from the same side, especially if you want to make larger squares for blankets. By turning the granny square for every round, it keeps it straight and square thus reducing the amount of blocking needed.

[@aliagalal8921]

[@TheSkoneman]

Would that not make that corner look thicker than the others since you used two strands?

[@bellacococrochet]

If you look closely you may be able to see that it’s ever so slightly thicker, but I generally don’t think that’s it’s noticeable 😊

did you just save my life or whaaaat

[@pixieosborne3820]

When I make the double loop at the beginning of the magic circle, the extra piece/tail I’ve circled around, ends up as a loose loop when I close my circle. Can anytime tell me what I’m doing wrong? 😢

[@bellacococrochet]

When you work your stitches into the magic circle, make sure that you work over the loose tail as well. You then have to give it a really good tug to close the circle tightly 😊
