smiley face crochet tutorial (my tricks for a perfect circle into granny square!)

[@mariereed5042]

Great tutorial. I decided to make 1 granny square a week & at the end of the year join them all together. I will be making 8 or 10 of these to my afghan. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tutorial.

what if i want to make bigger granny square? what is the increase pattern for the circle?

[@julescraftfolk]

You can increase the circle part of this square. Here is the pattern: 1st round: 12 dc. 2nd round: 24 dc. 3rd round: 36 dc. 4th round: 48 dc. 5th round: 60 dc. 6th round: 72 dc. Hope that helps!

​@julescraftfolk if we make the circle bigger, what is the pattern to do the square part from there?

[@JeanetteJanniello]

Thank you. I made this today. 🙂

[@PuLL365]

Great tutorial

[@julescraftfolk]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@oh.no.u.did.not6969]

I love this tut it worked very well but it took me awhile to make it even though I’m a bit slower than you . I am going to try to make a bag 😊❤

[@julescraftfolk]

Wonderful! I made two bags using these smiley squares and I use them all the time. Have fun, and remember you get quicker with every one you do!!

[@Yesenia-m5g]

whats the song you put on the backround tell me please.

[@ifeakachukwuchukudeme6799]

Thanks you so much

[@julescraftfolk]

You’re welcome! 😀

[@rickysoulliere4451]

Good morning. Could you tell me the exact yarn (name) that you are using. I’m new and I get confused by the sizes. Thanks. Love your projects

[@julescraftfolk]

Hi! I’m using the ‘Avalon’ yarn from Morris and Sons - it’s an 8ply yarn!

[@r.browning2188]

I loved this, thank you! Very clear and helpful. Quick q - if I get to the end of the round and find that I'm short by a few stitches, how should I fix? Do you frog back until the mistake and re-do?

[@julescraftfolk]

I’m glad you liked it! If I’m short at the end of the round I prefer to frog back to where I missed the stitch…that’ll make sure all sides of your square are even. Does this happen on the same round each time? If so you might need to check that the join and first few stitches of that round are in the right spot 😀

[@r.browning2188]

@@julescraftfolk I'll check those stitches next! I also think it's just a learning curve - I keep finding new, different mistakes on each circle I try 😅but we persist!

[@fatayoolubunmi-df2fp]

So nice

[@sailansailan4492]

What hook and yarn do you use?

[@julescraftfolk]

Hi there! I'm using a 3.5mm hook and 8ply/DK weight yarn.

[@fame3562]

I did an extra round on the circle and I'm confused as to how I make it a square now? There's 48 stitches

[@callieel]

I would add 3 more sc to each side (5 sc total) since you added 12 more stitches

[@aspatinhas9507]

Esta muito difícil a ler e escrever, e seus trabalhos são lindos

[@scarletcarpenter1919]

is there a way to start this square without a magic ring, i just find my work never comes out as good if i start with a magic ring x

[@julescraftfolk]

Sure thing! Try starting with a slip knot on your hook, chain 3, join with a slip stitch into the first chain (see how this makes a circle with a hole in the middle). Then chain 3 for the first double crochet. Then work the 11 double crochet into the middle of your joined chains (work over the tail end of your yarn so it’s getting caught under your stitches in the circle of chains) then join with a slip stitch to the first double crochet. You will probably have a visible hole in the middle, but if you pull that tail end you worked over it should close up. Then with a darning needle stitch in this yarn end, knot it, and weave in the end. I hope that sort of makes sense! Good luck with it! 😀

[@Sunnypetals325]

Hi umm for some reason my can’t get to 24 on around 2

[@julescraftfolk]

How many do you get? You might be missing going into the base of the very first stitch after you chain up at the start of the round.

[@Sunnypetals325]

I was thank you ❤

[@Ramones247CP]

I keep getting 22 stitches!

[@hannaheller5290]

Does anyone know what 8ply yarn translates to in the US?

[@julescraftfolk]

Hi! I think you call it DK weight yarn...or the internet says maybe you call it Weight Category 3 Light yarn?

[@Guudrun]

If I want to make the circle bigger, how do I do the first round of the square ? 😊

[@julescraftfolk]

Hello, it depends on how much bigger you choose to make the circle. Make sure you can divide the number of stitches in the circle into 4, these will be the sides of your next round. Then depending on the size of your circle you'll need to do some trial and error to figure out what stitches to use to be the right height to turn your circle into a square. Then do 4 identical sides with the corner stitches in between. Hope that helps!
