This is the 2nd comment video I have watched of yours. Years ago, my mom made a Granny Square blanket for me. The centers were all different colors and she did the outline in black. My son took the blanket to college and LEFT it at the college when he returned home, thus I lost the blanket my mom had made for me in 1974.(She started the blanket in 1973 and was originally going to make a twin-size blanket for my bed but I met someone and became engaged. I laughed and told her I needed the blanket enlarged. Due to the fact I never dated anyone more than once or twice, Mama really didn't think I'd date the guy more than once, maybe twice. We dated for 2.5 wks, (he came home to be the Best Man for his brother's wedding. I worked with his brother, this was how we were introduced (he was in the US Armed Forces and stationed overseas. We wrote letters back and forth and soon after Christmas, he started talking about marriage!! We were engaged on Valentine's Day and married in June of that year. We were married for 30 yrs at the time of his sudden death. I've been sick over the loss of that blanket Mama made for me, but I want to replace it anyway. Thanks so much for the amazing well-done tutorial. You have such an amazing way of teaching....absolutely amazing! I hope to watch all of your previous videos and I am looking forward to learning new things from you and anticipating NEW RUclips Videos as well. Thanks so much!
lawdddddd i’d been looking for a granny square tutorial that uses a magic ring instead of the whole chain 4 thing and this is THEE only one that actually makes sense to me😭🙏 so thankful for you and your channel miss yarn crafts🤍
I never caught on to “turning your work”, I guess it makes a world of difference. Thanks, maybe after umpteen more tries, I will finally get it. Thanks for being such a fantastic teacher.
I’ve been crocheting for years! Since 12 years old now 63. So elastic to have found a beautiful black woman spreading love and crochet knowledge. Keep it going, bless you and thank you!
Awwww…I’m watching this and you’re grateful for 160k followers. Now 2 years later you have 491,000… almost 500k. In a couple more years you will have a million 💫 PROOF of an amazing channel! ❤
Your magic circle technique is so simple! I’ve been crocheting for a while but every single time I need a magic circle, I have to go online and look it up because it confuses me and I forget every time. From now on, I’m coming back to the beginning of this video!
I’m so glad you are teaching magic circle and invisible join as part of making GS. You’re the first person I’ve seen INCLUDE these techniques in making of a GS. Thank you👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I agree! I taught myself to make a granny square when I first started, it was the basic one that everyone learns. It was only a year ago that I learned to make a magic circle for a blanket I was making and, frankly, until I saw this video, I had never seen an invisible Join. Lol
I've been crocheting on-and-off or casually for the last 18 years or so, and have only in recent months decided to get serious. Your crochet tutorials really help me grow in this new creative journey. This video helped me finish my first granny square - kinda twisty, but not terrible! I'll continue making use of your tips and also follow along your crocheting journey as well. With love and appreciation from Malaysia
Gosh I love to watch your crochet stitches. My grannys always turn out wonky because I struggle to make consistent double crochets when doing multiples into the same space.
I could actually cry tears of joy, I finally can make a magic ring! Thank you!! I started getting into amigurumi crochet and could not figure it out for the life of me!!
Thank thank you THANK YOU! It finally clicked with me when you demonstrated this is a simply a slip knot you’re working into. When you put it like that it’s so much more simple and comprehendible!
Thank you SO much! This is the only tutorial on granny squares that actually made any sense to me. After countless tries with other tutorials, I finally got it right with yours ❤
Thank you Toni for sharing how to do a invisible join, standing double crochet, and a manic circle. I never got how to do these stitches, but with your tutorial I now do! Thank you, thank you !!! Toni you rock as a teacher!
You really have such a way with explaining things that I haven't been able to find before! I never understood instructions on how to not make my granny squares wonky! The way you explained it finally had it click for me, thank you!!
Wow, you are so calming, supportive and specific. This was the perfect help for a refresh...but added bonus....the tips were fantastic!! Who knew I was supposed to turn my work each round, about the invisible stitch as you hide your threads or the standing double crochet?!?! Where have you been you little crochet goddess?!
I just started to crochet, and have absolutely fallen in love with your channel. You make it look so easy! Being a perfectionist , I like to watch these tips videos before trying the stitch for myself, so I have fewer (obvious) problems. Thanks Toni!
So, I’ve been crocheting for YEARS. I would consider myself at least an intermediate crocheter. But for the life of me, I have never been able to master a simple granny square. This tutorial has become my saving grace for granny squares. Never have I been able to make one that looks so tidy, and still feels easy to make. Thank you, friend! ❤️
You are a phenomenal teacher. I’ve stayed away from granny squares because they seemed too intimidating for me but after watching your video, I feel like I have some confidence to do a granny square blanket. I will probably re-watch your video 1000 times but it will be worth it. Thank you!
I have always been super scared to make a granny square, but your video gave me the confidence and guidance needed to make it happen, thank you for this guide❤
Thanks for sharing your granny square tips, they are much like what my Nanna taught me when I was about 8 yrs.. I recently learnt another tip for Granny Squares when it comes to ending the round in the corner, instead of joining with chain stitches use, 1ch and a single crochet into the top of your starting ch and you will never have to slst into the corner again, as your working strand will be in the center of the corner and you just continue on as normal! I learnt this tip whilst crocheting a Solid Granny Square.
Just found your video and just finished my very 1st granny square. ❤. I'm a knitter and have been learning how to crochet. Tysm. You have such a calming energy and a great way of teaching❤. Thank you. I now have to repeat this a ton more times until I have enough squares for a tote bag 😂
I am making my first project with crocheting, by making granny squares. I'm so glad I watched your video, being at the beginning of my crochet journey! ☺Thank you
I am little late with my projects. I learn to crochet as a young girl. I wanted to thank you for the extra help I needed to make my projects look good you rock Toni. Thank you again.
Whatever WeCrochet paid you for this, they should've paid more. After watching this multiple times I headed over there and bought a bunch of yarn and tools, when I wouldn't have even known they existed without you. (And one of the things I bought was a yarn ball winder after your video showing how to use theirs!)
THANK YOU!!!.. I've only just picked up crocheting (knitted in a former life, but not for decades) and am getting pretty ok for a beginner, but had tried to watch 2 or 3 other video's before I found yours. and it just make sense at this point.
Thank you, thank you THANK YOU. I have actually avoided patterns that begin with a magic circle. Now I feel confident with your easy way. You are a blessing!
You make this look so easy. I've been knitting for several years, but crochet, I've done one baby hat - a rectangle that I seamed up the side. Not many people are patient enough to sit with a beginner and go slow enough so I can understand the mechanics. Saving this video!
I have never in my 46 years of life done a granny square. I must say i was on the veege of crying numerous times, paused so many and rewound the video at least 3 dozen times. However i think i got this one thabk you so much Toni!
Your demo is the first granny square pattern that I’ve seen where you explain so clearly how to do it. I love your tips. They make it so much better. Thank you for sharing your way of making a granny square. It’s perfect. 💜🙏🏻
Thank you, thank you!! I have been watching granny square videos off and on for the last few months trying to relearn how to make one and not one of them made sense to me until I watched your video! You do a terrific job teaching technique. I successfully completed a square on my first try working along with (and pausing :) ) your video. You made my day!
OMG!! I never realized that turning my work would help so much.. I heard about doing it but it felt like an unnecessary step, but it seriously is a game changer. Thank you!!!
Thank you to the ends of the earth Toni I started crocheting about three months ago and actually tried to make this but I had so much trouble I decided to quit the granny squares and try plushies which I did this whole time now today I finally came back and I actually made a square I know it’s weird but I feel so proud and happy this little square is the start on a small travel blanket I’m going to make ! Thank you again - Tracy
It's amazing how many different ways or techniques many people have making granny squares. I love your magic circle and invisible join. I thought I knew alot about granny squares but you come along and teach me something new. Thank you so much for your time in showing us and teaching us something new. ❤❤
Thank you for addressing the granny square vortex issue. I have actually seen directions for granny squares that instructed people to not turn their work between rounds and I was so shocked. I have made numerous granny blankies and you definitely need to turn after each row to prevent the natural twist of the stitches from skewing the pattern.
This is my favorite crochet channel and this video is a perfect example of why - clear video, clear explanations, great tips and it is just the right pace!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You have made my day. I do the magic ring and I have to tell you, that the way I have been doing it IS magic when I finally get it right. Lol. You have simplified it!!! AND turning your work around is genius. All my granny squares have turned out like the first picture you showed so I gave up trying. I’m excited to try it again. You’re the best.
Was not impressed w/granny squares..but then seeing yours and then thinking of all the different colors that you can use makes me look at it completely different. I am excited to try them!! Question...do you need to use the same type/brand of yarn for your squares? i am new to crocheting...kinda...just starting it back up. I am struggling w/what yarn for what project and what size hook..its overwhelming right now. But I think it would be great fun to do a granny square blanket or atleast try. Thank you for your videos..your smile and enthusiasm for this craft is great. I might go broke buying yarn once I figure it out. Please keep the videos coming.......
I am so happy to find this tutorial. You have the easiest method I've found for making a magic circle and wonderfully clear instructions on how to crochet the granny square. Thank you! It's great to watch instructions that just make sense!
This magic loop thing is blowing my mind. I'm a super beginner and started a granny square afghan as my first project like a month ago. I'm about 150 center rounds in and of course NOW I discover this method, which seems much neater. I did a lot of initial research too! I want to do a few and compare. At any rate, great video! I really like the way you explain things. :)
This is a great teaching guide. I saved it on RUclips and am referring to it a lot as I begin learning how to crochet. Lots of starting and stopping cause I can’t go quite as fast as you yet 😅 but this is so helpful. Thank you!
Yes! For the love of granny squares👏🏽I actually find that I don’t have to flip my work to the wrong side…not sure if it’s because of the different hold of the crochet hook. I’m using the pencil hold and not the knife hold, like yours. I find I also crochet faster with the pencil hold, maybe just because I’m used to it and that was how I started to crochet many moons ago. I love your tutorials and learn so much from you. Thank you Toni😘
I truly appreciate this video, thank you so much I can finally do a perfect granny square. I can totally see the difference between my old one and this new one. I'm never looking back, this is so awesome. Thanks again! 😊 👍❤
You have a beautiful crochet technique. So effortless, even motion and calming. It's relaxing watching you crochet but learn alot because you're a great teacher! Thankyou.!
Omgosh thank you so much for this magic circle technique! I hate magic circles normally because I always forget how to do them and have to watch a video in slow motion every damn time, but this one is soooo much better! thank you thank you thank you! I also love how you turn the round and do a slip stitch. I always want to turn the round but I didn't think of doing a slip stitch. omg and the standing double crochet? whhaaa? Awesome! I now must do all my grannys like you.
I just weave in my ends using my crochet hook. I can't wait to try tip #5! I haven't seen that in all my 40 years of crocheting, but I sure wish I had. Same for the magic ring.
OMG!!! Why are you so wonderful!! Thank God for you!!!! You are unlimited Beautyl and Amazing!!! You have helped me by the tons!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!!! FYI YOUR VIDEOS ARE TRULY THE BEST AND MOST HELPFUL!!!! WOW! WOW! WOW!! Love the Knit Pick SWISH YARN because your granny squares look perfect with that yarn!!!! Oh my goodness that is the best granny square I have ever seen!! I will get me some swish yarn it must have!!! Girl, I need some of that granny square success! Thank you for all the wonderful tips!!!
You are just so easy to follow! I’m an advanced beginner and deeply appreciate these tips. Couldn’t figure out why my granny squares warped, became frustrated, and went on to other projects. You’ve changed my mind, and I’m eagerly picking out some colors from my stash! Thank you!!
Excellent tutorial! This was my first attempt at making a granny square and it came out WAY better than I expected! Thanks for the easy to follow instructions ❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have tried to follow so many tutorials before finding yours. Your technique, directions, and demonstration are perfect! I finally made a granny square!!!!
I am getting through the process up to the point of pulling the tail to close it up but my slipknot keeps tightening up and I can't pull through. Any advice on how to keep this from happening? I'm 99% sure I'm making the initial slipknot in the exact way shown in the video.
@Sara Brown theres a number of different ways ive seen ppl make slipknots. Try another method or two. Hopefully you will find one that doesnt tighten up so much. If its still too tight, maybe its your tension and you need to go looser. Keep at it though because crochet is too rewarding to let go.
This video brings back a ton of painful memories. The granny square was almost impossible for me to get, and when I finally got it I made so many I tired of the pattern completely. I just might try to make something with granny squares again with these tips :) or maybe even finish that one blanket I've had waiting for years now... 😂
You are awesome!! Thanks for this tutorial. I've put off making a granny for years because of not wanting to sew them all together. LOL I made my first granny in 1961 and my grandmother sewed it together.
❤ Hi you are such a magnificent teacher. ive have watched a lot of crochet videos, and didn’t really get it right until i came across your account, so thank you.
Love your granny squares, tips and instructions!! I’m generally a knitter but have picked up my crochet hooks and making granny squares for something to be decided!
I'm a beginner, thanks for going slow at the beginning, not having your thumb covering the stitches and explaining things like weaving in the ends and changing colors. I feel like I actually gained some confidence.
what ? so easy and i was struggling to make a magic ring from watching other videos till my fingers feel so uncomfortable , thank you for this tutorial . now am going to make a granny square.
I'm picking crocheting back up (my grandma started to teach me as a young teen but I didn't stick with it) I love your channel and the videos are perfect!!
You’re the only RUclipsr that doesn’t piss me off while I’m trying to remember how to make my granny squares and I really appreciate you

Neither did I but I really think it does look better. I’ll treat it but I’ll have a hard time doing it.

Standing Double Crochet = the best "new" stitch for me to learn... ever. I will never change colors any other way in **any** DC project. Thank you!
I know. Right??? I had never seen that before. I will never do it any other way!❤
Yes!!!! This was the most amazing discovery I ever learned!!
I've been crocheting on-and-off or casually for the last 18 years or so, and have only in recent months decided to get serious.

It's like you knew that I was going to start trying my first granny square blanket.. love the tutorial!
Same!!! I started my first ever round last night but I think I'm going to redo my work with these tips in mind
Same here!!!!
Me too
Gosh I love to watch your crochet stitches. My grannys always turn out wonky because I struggle to make consistent double crochets when doing multiples into the same space.
I could actually cry tears of joy, I finally can make a magic ring! Thank you!! I started getting into amigurumi crochet and could not figure it out for the life of me!!
Update: I can now make granny squares as well! I’ve failed so many times but now I’m familiar with the stitches so I understand it!
@@JanPyt congratulations!!!!

After your beginner video, I could actually follow along and make my first granny square with this video. You've given me so much confidence!!
You're seriously the best teacher on RUclips!
The standing double crochet has just changed my life...thank you!!! Off to binge watch all your tips and tricks 🤗
I love the tip about going down a hook size. ❤ Been crocheting almost 50 years and have never heard this before. Thank you so much!
You really have such a way with explaining things that I haven't been able to find before! I never understood instructions on how to not make my granny squares wonky! The way you explained it finally had it click for me, thank you!!
.Wonky
100 percent agree ❤
Definitely a Keeper! I learned to try a smaller hook, a new way to do Magic Ring, a new way to finish off, and the Standing Double Crochet. Thank you!
Wow, you are so calming, supportive and specific. This was the perfect help for a refresh...but added bonus....the tips were fantastic!!

I was 12 when I learned how to make a granny square and these tips definitely help me to see the flaws in the pillow cover I made. 😂😂😂
same, i'm looking back at my old grannys thinking about all flaws lol
This magic loop thing is blowing my mind. I'm a super beginner and started a granny square afghan as my first project like a month ago. I'm about 150 center rounds in and of course NOW I discover this method, which seems much neater. I did a lot of initial research too! I want to do a few and compare. At any rate, great video! I really like the way you explain things. :)
You're just the BEST teacher, Toni! Thank you, so much!!
You’re an excellent teacher! I haven’t crocheted in probably 40 years but your clear instructions have helped me tremendously!
This is a great teaching guide. I saved it on RUclips and am referring to it a lot as I begin learning how to crochet. Lots of starting and stopping cause I can’t go quite as fast as you yet 😅 but this is so helpful. Thank you!

Great tutorial! Moving a bit fast for me personally but easily paused as I went at my pace. Turning my work definitely changed the game for me! ❤
I liked the invisible join and the standing dc . Turning the work really makes a difference. Thank you for the tips.
You have a beautiful crochet technique. So effortless, even motion and calming. It's relaxing watching you crochet but learn alot because you're a great teacher! Thankyou.!

I just weave in my ends using my crochet hook. I can't wait to try tip #5! I haven't seen that in all my 40 years of crocheting, but I sure wish I had. Same for the magic ring.

You are just so easy to follow! I’m an advanced beginner and deeply appreciate these tips. Couldn’t figure out why my granny squares warped, became frustrated, and went on to other projects. You’ve changed my mind, and I’m eagerly picking out some colors from my stash!
Thank you!!
Excellent tutorial! This was my first attempt at making a granny square and it came out WAY better than I expected! Thanks for the easy to follow instructions ❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have tried to follow so many tutorials before finding yours. Your technique, directions, and demonstration are perfect! I finally made a granny square!!!!
I like how you taught the magic circle and turning the squares ....thank you for these good learn tip ....love your blog toni
Some nifty tips! And your gorgeous candy-coloured nails were mesmerising! ❤
I've always started mine with a ch4, ss into the 4th to make a ring, then ch3 2DC. This might just be my new favourite thing.
You are one of the top crochet instructors ive come across. So easy to understand and clear to see where you place the hook. Thanks.
I am getting through the process up to the point of pulling the tail to close it up but my slipknot keeps tightening up and I can't pull through. Any advice on how to keep this from happening? I'm 99% sure I'm making the initial slipknot in the exact way shown in the video.
@Sara Brown theres a number of different ways ive seen ppl make slipknots. Try another method or two. Hopefully you will find one that doesnt tighten up so much. If its still too tight, maybe its your tension and you need to go looser.
Keep at it though because crochet is too rewarding to let go.
This video brings back a ton of painful memories. The granny square was almost impossible for me to get, and when I finally got it I made so many I tired of the pattern completely. I just might try to make something with granny squares again with these tips :) or maybe even finish that one blanket I've had waiting for years now... 😂
Best video I’ve seen to help understand magic ring and granny square. Thank you❤
Thank you so much for your detailed GS tutorial. I don’t know what I would've done without it!
You are awesome!! Thanks for this tutorial. I've put off making a granny for years because of not wanting to sew them all together. LOL I made my first granny in 1961 and my grandmother sewed it together.
You just fixed my granny square problems. Thanks.
WoW YOUR magic circe was the easiest I have seen, Thanks a bunch!!
I just made my first two squares and I'm obsessed! Thank you for the amazing pattern and tutorial- the babies in my family are about to be HOOKED UP
