Thank you SO much. I'm new to crochet and wanted to start with something easy, your tutorial is the only one I've found that makes sense. Thanks. :)

[@CherryHeart]

Oh thank you, lovely to hear!

[@jennifermukhia2759]

Very true. Even I'm learning and this is simple AND easy to follow.

[@michelleh2662]

This is exactly what I was looking for and you explained it so well. It's my first ever granny square and it came out amazingly

[@mariagandres6724]

Newbie here! I love the simplicity that you are teaching here. Thank you so very much Love ♥️ Can't wait to get started! Be safe and be well. 💙

[@AKW1984]

Yes!!! I've been trying like crazy to make this square, thank you for explaining this so wonderfully 💗

[@vp6298]

I love this blanket but I am more of a knitter then a crocheter. Thank you so much for doing this video as I was having a hard time with the written patter (from my ignorance not the pattern writing) I have finished my first square! Only one million more to go! Thank you so much for your generosity!

[@Ann-rf2wt]

Absolutely the best tutorial. I’ve also learnt a terrific way to do my corners. Thank you so much.

[@Oliviarodrigo89fan]

This is a great tutorial it is easy to follow and doesn’t talk about extra stuff and it is pretty straight forward love this

[@froggymade]

just by watching, it's such an easy tutorial unlike a few I've already seen 😭 thank you sm for this!!

[@jen9774]

I have crocheted many, many blankets ( 3 WIPs on the go) but l have never done a solid granny square. Your clear demonstration has shown me how easy the process is and I'm go to begin as soon as one of present projects is finished.

[@carola.6990]

Well,.... I will be making this blanket. Thank you for your time in presenting this tutorial ❤

[@gillianfreeman53]

Sucha great tutorial! Thank you! I love your tip for keeping that 4th hole looking the same as the rest.

[@hasumatipatel9410]

Very nicely explained, will surely try and make this blanket for my grandchildren,thanks .👌💕🙏🏻

[@mistydawncreates]

I love collecting all the different ways crocheters make grannies. I like the symmetry of this style.

[@marymurphy1937]

Thank you Sandra, I have nearly all my colours together..will definitely be using this

[@susanswindoll8276]

What an absolutely beautiful blanket!

[@johnno49]

This is the same corner technique as you use for all of the designs in the Nature’s Walk project, and it works brilliantly. From now on I’ll use this technique every time.

[@SF1976.]

The clearest solid granny tutorial I've seen, thank you so much!

[@CherryHeart]

Oh that’s so kind, thank you! ❤️

[@ssiovino]

Thank you for this great video. It was very easy to see every stitch you make. I am getting ready to start making this blanket with all my left over yarn.

[@jean-jn3nq]

You are a fantastic instructor! So happy to have stumbled upon this tutorial. Thank you so much. ☺️

[@CherryHeart]

Oh thank you!! ❤️

[@kimbakiki]

I love the way you start your Granny Square & start every row! I’ve not seen this method before & tbh I think it’s great & looks neat & tidy! A great tutorial video, very clear instructions!Thank you for sharing!

[@judithmorgan4706]

Sandra thank you well explained & easy to follow your tutorial.

[@christinenewell2679]

Yes, me too, watching from Belfast NI:). I can turn out a quick Granny square faster than the flick of a switch…. I used to do all the ‘starting of Grannies for all my friends and family🤪. BUT…. a solid Granny, all fingers and no thumb!! I’m definitely going to start some of these TOMORROW, April 2nd 2022…… 3 yrs to the day having my stroke . A hateful, life changing event BUT 🙏🏻 I count my Blessings EVERY DAY. Now, I shall have a nice day tomorrow thanks to your wee tutorial 😊. Lovely.

[@loriholmes8705]

Watching from Ohio, USA. Thanks for sharing Sandra. Very helpful. I like how you slip stitch into the chain, makes for a well blended join! 🧶

[@CherryHeart]

Thank you so much!

[@suejameson1517]

Thank you! I had been confused about where the 3 tr went in round two when I read the pattern. This made it clear. Also you may know the lovely Elizabeth Ann can stitch has just started the blanket on the KZbin channel so I’m sure there will be many people about to join her!

[@rebeccatyrrell381]

Good morning from Stewartstown, Pennsylvania, U.S.! I've long looked for a project that would take a while for me to complete. I'm looking forward to getting started soon! Thank you for sharing!

[@RikkiSandefur]

Perfect speed for helping me understand!

[@imeldaaleman1498]

Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve made different granny squares and this one is my one of my favorites 😊

[@CherryHeart]

Oh thank you, so glad it was useful!

[@Randi19196]

A great pattern. My first fully crochet pattern as I’m a knitter. Thank you!

[@DawnAtCusterCottage]

I see you are using my favorite crochet hooks. I especially love the pink!

[@sheamoss9956]

Always wanted to learn this blanket. Thanks so much!

[@jas2627]

Great video tutorial. I love your Battenberg blanket and I would love to make one.

[@jillwales7798]

Love these squares I'm just starting them

[@rebeccadees2300]

Lovely pattern. Thank you for sharing 😊.

[@vickiegladding7643]

You explain so clearly and slowly enough to follow but not too painfully slowly also! I am an American and while I did originally learn how to crochet in American terms...for some reason now that I've done a few larger projects I actually prefer the UK terms 🤔 I have no idea why and maybe that's crazy haha but the UK terms for some reason make more sense to my thought process! I thank you however for having typed the US terms in the corners anyways as it adds even more clarity to those of us who have trouble sticking to a particular term in our heads.

[@debracubitt6191]

Hi Sandra It is Mother's Day here 🇨🇦 Just wanted to wish you a beautiful day Thank you for sharing your crafting talents BLESSINGS

[@gizmowings465]

[@helenberry1942]

Thank you for this great video Sandra. You explain the steps clearly but you then you tell us why you do it that way. So far I have made 5 squares this evening.

[@CherryHeart]

Oh yay that’s sounds great. So glad it was helpful! ❤️

[@elainebuckley4984]

Thanks Sandra. I need to order some cream yarn to get my batternberg blanket out of hibernation 🍃🌸🍃

[@shaguftaalji4563]

Very well explained and found it easy to make, happy to see the result, after making it by watching ur tutorial ❤

[@CherryHeart]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@natashabrodie9658]

Thank you so much for this video!! I have 12 skeins of yarn that has been waiting to become a blanket for my now 2 year old. A couple friends/family were unable to make it for me for various reasons and I learned to crochet when I was in middle school but I never really made it passed turning skeins of yarn into chains that I rolled into balls. I have recently picked crochet back up because I remember enjoying it. I started with finger crochet and really really thick chunky yarn, now that bag of yarn had been staring me down saying I can do this. I can make that blanket for my baby. Granny squares seemed achievable to me especially since I'm wanting to switch it up from big chunky stripe patterns and I have 4 different colors of yarn I want to incorporate. Again, I say thank you for your simple break down. I battled for a solid 45 minutes trying to do the magic ring/circle to start the granny square so thank you. With a lot of pausing and backing up till I get my hands and crochet needle on the same page, I think I got this.

[@CherryHeart]

Oh that’s great news!! I’m so glad this helped but well done for sticking at it. It’s not easy when you start, I remember only too well how fumble fingered and frustrated I was at first!! ☺️❤️

[@kieuthucrochet]

Thank you so much for this video. ❤❤❤

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

[@lottiephillips7805]

Somewhat late to the party, but I was watching an Emma Jones video (vintage sewing box) and she was talking about one of your patterns. So very glad I found you. Will be able to learn crochet at long last. Have subscribed. Best wishes from Lottie in Suffolk.

[@CherryHeart]

Oh lovely to have you here and good luck with the crochet too! I didn’t realise Emma did videos too. I follow her on Insta but hadn’t looked here on you tube. ❤️☺️

[@annettecaller8036]

Thank goodness for US terminology 😊 when I listen to UK terminology it makes no sense to me 😂 and I’m British 😂

[@fashion_world9540]

Good work 👍

[@misriyanafeesmisriyanafees6821]

Very help full thank u mam

[@ruthhollenback1650]

I love your blanket! It is lovely. Your video tutorial is very clear and helpful. If I wanted to make this in 4 rounds, can you provide the instructions for the 4th round?

[@katielone6922]

phew as a knitter being used to my two needles this is hard to get used to lol I have had to rewatch the first minute only a billion times its a little difficult but i think ill get there

[@mariaerickson9939]

Thanks so much!

[@melissaa2369]

Great tutorial! It's perfect for all my yarn scraps. How many squares did you end up using for the finished blanket?

[@mesholberatsonallibi]

I think I missed a stitch but I can’t tell where but turned out great the second try thank u!

[@jessicav7203]

Love love love this pattern! And you explain it so well! I’m excited to get started. What are the dimensions are for the square when it’s just 2 rounds?

[@hilarycohen1470]

Knitters May want to consider the Sock Yarn Blanket also small squares, lovely to look at, and comfy to cuddle or sleep with because bias.

[@user-bm7pz1jr6s]

Thank you

[@donnajohnson9834]

I really like your tutorial - it is visually easy to see what you are doing. My question (and maybe this has been answered somewhere already ) is if there is a “translation” of the stitches into the American jargon - or a resource that compares them. What you are calling a treble looks to me like what I think of as a Double crochet? Anyway. - thanks and hope to try this soon. I love the small square sizes - very quilt-like appearance.

[@chengjane1]

Love the blanket, just wondering, how long a tail do you leave on our white squares to join the coloured squares? Thanks :)

[@lafamiliafelis35]

¡Gracias!

[@CherryHeart]

Thank you so much, that’s so kind of you!! ❤️

[@1275200901]

Not a fan of the granny square, But I enjoyed making this Battenberg Blanket !! Will

[@angel-ge7pb]

personal timestamp ♡ 1:16 when starting a new round: slip stitch then 4 ch

[@dianneross2801]

🙏

[@janetgandara3042]

I have a question. Is do or light 3 ok for the yarn. I have some Tivoli here that needs to get used up.

[@serenitymims7081]

I made a Starburst granny square it took me a day to do this only my first week of crocheting im only a kid

[@serenitymims7081]

Too hard 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 it's sooo good too

[@CherryHeart]

Well done, that’s brilliant!! Yes it does seem hard at first. I remember that so well! It takes a little while for your fingers to get used to moving the way you want them to. It won’t be too long before you are whizzing along though. ❤️

[@serenitymims7081]

@@CherryHeart Thank you for replying! 😊😊

[@aquilahaji3465]

Thank you for this tutorial! Your blanket is just gorgeous! I was hoping to see how you joined the squares in your blanket and wondering if there is any tutorial for that. I'm assuming you're joining the offwhite squares as you're going across the 3rd row, correct? Thank you, in advance.

[@CherryHeart]

Thanks so much! Yes you can find li is on how to koi. The squares in the video and in the description box below too. ☺️❤️

[@_Tochka]

0:36 Thank!

[@wwewwe8436]

I keep messing up and having to start over I’ll get it soon

[@natashya607]

Is it okay to just chunky yarn for this pattern?

[@lovinlife5912]

I love this video ty for posting. Do u have a tutorial on how u joined these little beauties? Ty xx

[@CherryHeart]

Yes absolutely, should be linked below this video. ❤️

[@vidyarani2734]

Can I make ladies jacket to join these pieces of squares please tell me

[@janedc5ch319]

I have made my squares this way. And I noticed the ch 5 did make the space bigger. Thank you ,I will ch4 from now on. I love your blankets so much, thay all look so even and perfect. I want to make the blanket like you . I LIVE IN AMERICA. THAY SEAME TO USE# 4 Weight yarn more . Or mabe it is al I see ,because I don't get out much. I have to rely on my son to go to the craft store and get my yarn. He won't take me because I am in a wheelchair most of the time. I don't have a lot of computer knowledge. He won't order yarn on internet. So I don't know what yarn to use

[@CherryHeart]

Thanks so much, so glad you found it useful! Yes I noticed that the worsted weight seems to be the go to weight in the US, whereas here DK is most common. The good thing with this pattern is you can use any weight of yarn, it’s more important to just stick to one weight for the whole blanket to get the consistent look! ❤️

[@rawreiki]

I'm thinking of using this pattern for a baby blanket. How many squares do you think I should make for a baby blanket? Thank you!

[@randomperson-py5ze]

How big is the granny square?

[@frandefleurs5116]

💞

[@carollloyd8099]

Can the stitches be used for changing colors on each row?

[@Yasmee1987]

Is this granny square seamless?

[@livgospic4277]

What yarn is this please? Amazing tutorial thank you

[@CherryHeart]

Thanks so much. I think it was paintbox yarns I used for this. ❤️

[@jennifermahoney4566]

Was there a written chart somewhere?
