OMG! I've been doing my MR like you do, for years! Its nice to see that someone else has caught on to a more sturdy center start. Yes, its a lil more fiddly but its more secure than the single strand MR.

@@deeturner7845 yay 😁😁😁 it’s always nice finding someone else that does things the same way. I had made a cotton blanket back in the beginning with a single strand and some had popped undone, so figured that even with sewing the yarn end in was not good enough. I think it’s worth the small extra effort too 😁😁😁

I have never tried starting each row with 2 stacked SC. Will definately try it next time I do a grannysquare. Thank you

Is because when you do double crochet you are pulling towards the right, so when you turn your work you going the opposite way making the crochet square straight.

[@gumleaf_crochet_and_yarn]

@@rileyfs1959 that’s right, I knew there was a technical reason, I just couldn’t remember it nor find it by googling, thanks so much 😁👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks for your tips Jill, I’ve never thought of turning the work. 🫶 Not that I’ve made too many granny squares. I always use a double MR though for my projects.
