@@WindingRoadCrochet just started a blanket today and your video is very easy to follow 💞

[@kv4470]

This is by far the best crochet and beginner-friendly video ever. Thank you so much for making this video. I appreciate all the detailed voiceover and showing of the loops and directions as you went.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@nuriagiralt617]

I had never seen a magic circle done like you did it. That was cool!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thank you. I do it a little differently but it seems to be easier for most people.

[@sweetpicklefeet1]

She simplified weeks of practice LOL

[@mairsiesolstice]

This is wonderful! Thanks for sharing! I've crocheted granny squares for many years, but this is my first time making this type of flower pattern. Your step-by-step instructions are really well done. Also, your version of the magic circle is nifty!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You are so welcome!

[@NicoleAtkins-t8r]

I really enjoyed this tutorial. I've been challenging myself lately, and I decided to try this square. It was fast paced, but that's what "pause" and "rewind" are for. I was familiar with all the terms and it really boosted my confidence when I finished the square and it looked the way it was supposed to! Thank you!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Glad it was helpful! Yes that is what pause is for!! There is also a way to slow down the play back speed but then the sound also gets slowed down as well.

[@mcervantes362]

I love all of your instructional uploads. And my grown son is learning to crochet too and he finds your instructions so easy to follow and the projects very nice. Thank you.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thank you so much!

[@shanellerianab.vallespin9472]

Just finished making one and it's so beautiful! Planning on making a crocheted bag using this pattern for a gift for Christmas! Thank you so much for sharing this pattern.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Wonderful! That sounds like a great idea!

[@YolandaKomoll]

Thank you for a lovely pattern. I am not sure if anyone else has commented, however at 13:44 you have on the screen for Row 4 (DC, TR, CH2, DC, TR), when it should be (DC, TR, CH2, TR, DC).

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Yes, thank you for sharing. A few others have shared as well. Sadly there is no way to fix the video without removing the video.

[@cbmimilk]

I love this your way to make the magic circle, and I make only lke this now.

ESTA SEÑORA CUANDO NACIÓ, YA EMPEZÓ A HACER CROCHET. MUY BONITO Y BIEN HECHO. NO SÉ INGLES PERO CON SOLO MIRAR SE SACA EL TRABAJO POR LA CALIDAD DEL VIDEO. BUEN CANAL.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thank you.

[@panpan533]

Even though there were a few accidents where you said slip stitch instead of sc it was fine because you go at a nice pace that allows me to see what you did instead.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Sorry about that. I do get tongue tied sometimes. I try to watch the video to check for that before uploading but with little kids I can get distracted.

I notice you are called Winding Road 😁 I am part of a group called “WindingRoad2”. We are a husband and wife team…we sing Christian gospel music and have been recording together for 12 years as WindingRoad2. I also love to crochet 🧶 and have been crocheting for approximately 4 years now, although I learn how to do a granny square when I was 19 but never went any further until 2017. I want to thank you for sharing. I look forward to making this one! Be Blessed! 😃

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

That is wonderful! We wanted to create a crochet blog with a road trip traveling them but the road trip part didn't ever get started. But I do love to crochet on road trips!

[@shimulaktersumi8067]

Alternative of first row with knot , without magic ring ? Excellent work!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thanks.

I am very cautious using words like "beginner friendly". If you see me use those words then you know it is a super easy pattern.

It was gorgeous and fantastic but can I use it to do a dress by doing more of the granny square and joining it together will it be okay

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You can use this granny square for any personal project or for a project that is a gift. You just can't use the design to make your own design and sell the pattern, if that makes sense.

[@shelbyhensley8660]

Lol I liked that magic ring trick.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thanks. I do mine a little differently but it works for me.

[@Samwise_Kino9]

I really love this patten, and my granny squares are coming out great. Just have a bit of a problem on the border round. After you do the corner you do 2 double crochet, one into to treble and one in the next space. Is that the same going around? Or do you do the opposite. So before the corner do you insert through the space and then into the treble?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

There is 16 DC worked on each side. Not including the corner spaces, you have 1 into the Treble, 1 into the DC, 4 into the CH 4 space, 4 into the next CH 4 space, 1 into the DC and 1 into the Treble. (This equals 12 stitches the 4 missing stitches are into the corners).

[@Samwise_Kino9]

Thank you! That really helps

[@drea._.]

at the 6:16 time stamp, you say to slip stitch to the chain one space? is that the only one that different or is that just a single crochet too?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I believe for that whole row you will be working single crochets after each petal.

[@wondergranny2299]

Simple and gorgeous lovely!!!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Glad you like it!

Hi Jeanhere love this square and your instructions i want to do your square but much bigger do you perhaps have another pattern that is approximately 75cm square. I know you must be busy but would love to hear from you. Thanks regards jean

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

The best I can recommend is to add a few extra rows to make it large. I will be working on a smaller version soon but I do not have a bigger one. You can also go up a hook size and see how much that changes the size.

[@arcaneremnants]

Subscribed!! This was a fantastic tutorial. This is the first video of yours that I watched and now I’m excited for more. Thank you for making it so easy and to the point 🙂

Hi! I am trying to make a bunch of these for a blanket! How big would you say the square is

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I think my square was 7-8 inches but it really depends on the yarn and hook you are using.

[@cbmimilk]

The 16 DC didn’t work for me to get 8, in the second row. Even not considering the chains in the beginning like a stitch.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

There are 2 (DC2TOG) in each repeat. so 8 repeats times 2 (DC2TOG) = 16. So basically you are work a (DC2TOG) into every stitch but you are alternating between 2 chain and 1 chain between the (DC2TOG).

[@cbmimilk]

@@WindingRoadCrochet Thank you! It’s working now!!! ♥️

[@programistkacom]

I love this pattern and currently using it in my project. But I have a question, maybe someone also noticed it before but shouldn't the written description for Row 4 say: [(DC, TR, CH2, TR, DC)] as the corner is supposed to be symmetrical, isn't it?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You are correct. It has been mentioned before. I think I say the instructions correctly but they are written wrong.

[@PinkyPop2]

Thank you so much!! This will help me a lot in one of my projects!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Great to hear!

[@monesithongkang6427]

Very beautiful crochet.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Thank you! 😊

[@mkmartin559]

Cool pattern, I'm excited to try it. Question: at 06:18, was that an actual slip stitch or was it a single crochet? Which one should it be? Thanks! Looking forward to checking out your other videos too.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

It is a single crochet and thanks. I hope you find some projects you like on my channel.

[@susanwebber9247]

I've adapted this. I've done away with all the stitches that aren't counted and crocheted into the last petal at the bottom to join it

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Nice!

[@MarianE.J.]

I really like this granny square! Going to make a blanket with it! Thank you for this video!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Wonderful!

[@MarianE.J.]

I made this square but I started each round with a standing dc instead of two chains.: much neater and easier to close the round.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I very much agree! It is just some people don't know how to do a standing double crochet so I used the CH2 in the video for them. I definitely think the standing DC is better.

[@erinarmstrong5014]

I love this pattern, thanks so much!! Do you think you could give me the brand of hooks that you use? I was completely captivated by your hook the whole video!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

It is a Furls Streamline Hook. I love the wood hooks but sense my dogs love them too I tend to buy the Furls Odyssey hooks now.

I would think it would be too big. Maybe if you used a smaller yarn and smaller hook.

[@shanellerianab.vallespin9472]

Good day to everyone! I just wanted to ask if there is any way to make this bigger? Thank you!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You could use a thicker yarn, or a larger hook. You could also add more solid rows to the existing square.

[@daisyesparza7390]

Wonderful job! How could I make it into a smaller square? I'm a beginner.

[@barbaranecessary7337]

How did you join them?

I didn't make a finished project with this, but since the outside color is all the same you could use a whip stitch to join them or a invisible stitch or I like work a flat slip stitch when joining the piece together.
