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

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodne6554]

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.

[@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!

[@hasumatipatel9410]

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

[@AKW1984]

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

[@froggymadeee]

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

[@jdbuder]

Your saying triple but doing a double crochet

[@CherryHeart]

I’m using UK terms. It sounds like you are used to US terms.

[@annettecaller8036]

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

[@carola.6990]

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

[@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.

[@dp2578]

This is awesome, I can't wait to get started! Thank you for wonderful, clear instructions and videos - you are great! I think I'm going to try this in Christmas colors! :)

[@CherryHeart]

Oh thank you so much, so glad it’s helpful! 🥰

[@melissaa2369]

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

[@unicornster]

Would it work to change colour on each round? Thank you for the video 🙂

[@CherryHeart]

Yes it will

[@janeglover1767]

Such a clear tutorial, very helpful. Thank you.

[@djlclopez128]

Hello! I have a question. Is this Granny square pattern an original pattern of yours, or is this just a how-to video for a traditional, generic, non-copywritten square? Thank you! (I would like to use this in a pattern, bit want to check first.)

[@CherryHeart]

Oh no, solid granny squares like these are in the public domain for sure. There must be hundreds! This is just how I like to make mine and it works especially well for the join I use for this blanket as it means the yarn ends in the right place. ❤️❤️

[@djlclopez128]

@@CherryHeart Thank you for your response! Also, your Battenburg blanket was just beautiful! The colors you picked were perfect! It really looked like the cake haha

[@lizichedia2146]

Thank you so much!Very helpful video💜

[@CherryHeart]

You're so welcome!

[@gizmowings465]

this was so easy to follow! thank you so much!!

[@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. 💙

[@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

[@chengjane1]

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

[@carollloyd8099]

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

[@elainebuckley4984]

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

[@arlindajones-abekasis5665]

Hi, thank you for this great tutorial! I’m wondering why you call a double crochet a treble? Is it a European thing? Thanks again!

[@randomperson-py5ze]

How big is the granny square?

[@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!

[@jas2627]

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

[@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.

[@glendabathgate4036]

❤️thank you well explained I have the pattern raring to go

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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?

[@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. ❤❤❤

[@abitofwhimsie]

So the triples are American doubles? Sorry newbie here.

[@CherryHeart]

abitofwhimsie yes that’s exactly right. A UK triple is the same stitch as a US double. ❤️

[@abitofwhimsie]

Sandra Paul Thank you so much!!!💓💓💗💗💗

[@jeannegillette155]

Those are double crochet Not a triple crochet sweetie.

[@CherryHeart]

Not if you live in the UK sweetie. Hence me providing a translation!

[@user-bm7pz1jr6s]

Thank you

[@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! ❤️

[@mantezmarilou8508]

thank you❤

[@paisvasco195]

Thank you so much for making this video all the way to the end'

[@DawnAtCusterCottage]

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

[@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. ☺️❤️

[@kenken-vy5wp]

this is great, but i keep messing up and somehow coming out with a triangle? someone help me😭

[@Sara-du5np]

Idk why the double crochets are short on ones side and longer on the other lol

[@mistydawncreates]

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

[@1275200901]

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

[@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. ❤️☺️

[@vidyarani2734]

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

[@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.

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

[@jeannegillette155]

Learned something new.US here.Texas.thanks.

[@BeepBoop365]

Hi, I was just wondering if there was a reason you start with chains instead of a magic circle, and if I used a magic circle instead would it cause issues? Thanks for this pattern!

[@CherryHeart]

You could use magic circle to start if you prefer. ❤️

Did you use dk weight for your actual throw?

Hi. No I used loads of leftover 4ply/fingering weight minis for my original blanket. ❤️

[@rosierome1694]

Hi Sandra love your videos can you please tell me what size hook you used to make the granny squares please & thank you 😁

[@CherryHeart]

Thanks so much! You just want to use the recommended hook for your yarn really, unless you crochet tight or lose and want to adjust for that. I think I used an Aran weight yarn for this so I probably went for a 5mm hook. ☺️
