[@luvsesmqq]

Oh myy im 13 and ive been crocheting for like 5 months but i never understood how to make a granny square until now

[@Grace-ce2px]

hey love that you like crocheting!! but just a recommendation, don’t share your age online!

[@StudioJanet]

If you turn your work(go in the opposite direction)at the beginning of each new row, it keeps your granny beautifully square. Sometimes they can start to look a little ’wonky’ otherwise. One of the best tips I’ve received. Thank you for this tutorial 💗

[@Mystic._.dragon314]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCHHHHHH!!!!

I watched so many full tutorials then came upon your 1min one and have nailed it. Thank you!

This video is very useful I haven't crochet in a very long time this is a useful video to relearn the things I forgot

[@khris_goodman]

I made this type of granny square into a blanket. Just keep going to your desired size. So much fun and my son loves it 💖

[@bobellacrochet]

Thanks, this was genuinely helpful 😊

[@jimmycricket8170]

cant believe a short video could teach this so easily thank you!!

[@pebblestone7659]

This is the most helpful and concise tutorial, seriously, thank you for teaching the basics 💜

[@katgamer1727]

I learned this but without the slip stitch for the ending. It’s essentially the same way but when you finish your last corner, you half double crochet instead of slip stitching. Love to see both ways though!😊

[@Chimkin_Numgets]

Thank you so much!!! I’ve been looking for a good tutorial on how to start a granny square and this is perfect!!!

[@melissacolon8452]

OMG TYSMMM This was so helpful u have a new sub❤!!!!

[@BLYQQ]

This was so much easier than 30 min videos i found! Thank you so much! Could you make a longer version because i got confused for the third row 😅

[@BrookThings]

Same here lol 😂 it was the perfect tutorial until then and I kinda got confused with the rest of the second row

[@carolineswift5136]

Thank you for helping me learn how to make a granny square for the base of my blanket ❤❤❤

[@temi-twistedzones]

Tyvm this is how I was taught without the magic circle (which is frustrating as heck). Hugs ❤

[@wishtjd]

Thank you 🙏

I don’t understand this at all but great tutorial!!❤

[@00zarzu00]

did you try doing it along, not the whole way but literally following one stitch/step at a time? if not, maybe try that.

[@dishawagh7468]

thank you so much this was super easy to do 💌

[@leeoaks8724]

I wonder what I did wrong, mine is a circle instead of a square.
It looks really cute, but it seems like I always have to do a project 2-3 times before It turns out like it should. Haha

[@a.z.e.a.l.e.5822]

can someone comment on this so i can come back to this vid again

[@a.z.e.a.l.e.5822]

[@julissahicks4687]

I’ve watched this over and over again and I still can’t get it right😢

[@brendaflory7097]

Can you show how to do half one color and the other side different color. I am having so much trouble with this for my Christmas wreath throw.

[@KatrinaBunny]

Why yarn did you use?? I love the effect!

[@emilykarpierz696]

Okay so end of the first square u say to slip stich into first ch 3. Are u talking about the first chain 3 from the original chain 4?

[@BensMom88]

There are videos outthere where I can watch while doing it. Muçh more helpful for beginners

[@izmaaz786]

Slip stitch into the 3 chains after the slip stitch in chain four.

[@noorieshaikh3539]

Thank you so much mam

[@user-qb2ue5cx1b]

Go to chanell lil thing and go to granny square it is like this but Realy easy

[@We_Chill]

Idk what o did but the hole in the middle kept getting bigger and bigger

[@dishawagh7468]

you have to pull on the tail to make it small

[@RatRat-sg8ix]

What do you mean by middle box? I couldn’t figure that out

[@YkBaldZoe]

Pls explain more I couldn't do ittt

[@livpatrick99]

How do you make a slip not before moving to the next row

[@scharlesnicole]

Thank you

[@crazyemieats]

Could i use a magic ring instead?

[@LifeWithARedhead]

I just learned the first chain stitch lol so this was not helpful. But I may come back.

[@kaeciec3002]

what size hook do you use

[@Elzzz29]

is this us or uk terms

[@Evienv]

OK on route two after the last chain two I got lost

[@Aroundtheworld607]

What’s a double crochet

[@Fortuna34617]

Wth 😂 this was more confusing than math

[@stuckbiscuit3796]

Wait i don't understand how do you get the loops like that

[@sallygarrett1629]

I'm confused. Your video is confusing when you start the second round. How do you put the two double crochet behind tje chain three?

[@emarianypacheco7326]

I saw another tutorial and u go to the stitch next to where ur working with and go into the 3rd chain . Hope that helps ❤️

[@akomuni8517]

Bruh everyone is doing fine but mine is turning into a triangle and a circle 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Maizy_Moo601]

Is double crochet a single stitch

[@dishawagh7468]

nope
double crochet is like when you put your yarn over before going into the stitch and pull through 2 loops and then other 2 again
sorry I'm not the best at explaining

[@a.z.e.a.l.e.5822]

I can assure ou you are good at it lol! i was scrolling through the comments 4 an explanation and found it!@@dishawagh7468

[@sillykitty23-ux7nl]

why is mine a circle

[@Rileylottermoser-so2vs]

Mine looks weird:((

[@parkyoda8480]

I can’t under this video at all I would have to see you go into the stitches after the first two double crochet and chain 2

[@sonyasharpless1683]

Thank you!

Oof mine looks deformed😅

[@Not_Caydence13]

Are you supposed to flip your work

[@kevywilliams3304]

That’s not easy.. and you can’t do two double crochet into the corner you slip knotted together .. they will require you to turn the work

[@user-robloxyin.]

This is soo confusing

[@soniashams1882]

Nahhh she dident even show us how to begin this ain’t friendly lol

[@zakfam9131]

Too complicated for a beginner

This isn't teaching anything....show us don't tell us.

As this is a “video short” I only have 1 minute to get the instruction across. I have plans to do a longer form instructional video and will link it to this one when complete.

[@imaanmemon]

@@the_morningcrafter this was a great short to show thank u sm! looking forward to it

[@abbyramirez6654]

I know i’m really late, but this video helped me so much! she explained everything, you just have to know what stitches she’s doing! and the abbreviations! i’m not saying you DON’T know how to do the stitches, but idk. and for me the parts i was a little confused on i looked in the video and i got my answer. not everyone gets confused on the same things, but for example. when you chain 2 and go to the next corner, i didn’t know if there was supposed to be a gap, but i looked in the video, she made the gap, and she continued, thats how i knew i did it right.
For me i learned single crochet, double crochet, tripe crochet and half double crochet. i recommend learn those first and then do tutorials!
please, keep mean words to yourself!

I managed to do it, I thought it was very helpful
