    Hi everyone! This is actually easier to do than explaining it, but I did my best to simplify the process so that you will be well on your way to zooming through your blanket. Seriously, it's a game changer and a lot of fun! I hope you enjoy the video and let me know what you are working on this month! xx

    I've been crocheting for years, but gave up on trying to create granny square designs as I could never figure out how to join them together properly, no matter how many 'how-to' videos I watched. I stuck to other patterns, making granny squares with scrap yarn when I was bored and throwing them in a bag to accumulate, figuring maybe I'd use them one day, or just donate them to a crochet friend.
    Found this video by chance and, bored, decided to give it a go.
    It took me almost 2 hours to finish joining 12 squares, but I've finally got the hang of it! By the end, I was whizzing through them easily. Thank you SO much for this video, I'm gonna have so much fun this weekend with that bag full of squares I've stashed lol
    ALSO: The diagram at the start was SO HELPFUL! I'm the worst at reading and understanding diagrams, but this was so simple, it's like a switch clicked inside my brain and suddenly it all made sense. Thank you again!!

    Love this method. Did a U shaped shawl a couple of years ago. Drew plan of my path on paper first to keep me working in the correct direction as U shape is not as easy as a square shape.

I am a new to crocheting and when I started learning to make granny squares I made them all different sizes and now I want to join them and I’m trying to figure out how to do it.

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  Год назад

      That’s a very good question. This would work if all of your squares can be joined with the same granny square style but would be hard to do if some were solid granny squares.
      Are all your squares finished? This usually works best when you have one remaining round to do.
      I would suggest doing a flat seam join . In my opinion that would be less stressful. Here are some of my favorites:

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  4 месяца назад

      You can . It would be easiest to join them together in separate parts in the shape you want. You would have more ends to weave in but it would be less stressful than trying to do it in a certain order all at once.
      More like this way:
      ruclips.net/video/Q6KkuLqGg2c/видео.htmlsi=jJ2Y5Y3p2eYT5FZI
      The square pattern is different but you could use the same approach with your pattern.

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  Год назад +1

      That’s a good question. It’s really a personal preference. Personally, I like to block before joining. I think it’s easier to see what you’re working with, especially if you’re making a garment. But it’s definitely not necessary if everything is laying flatly for you.

      @@PlayHookywithMe I disagree! People use the StSc because it resembles the dc. Definitely much better alternative to the ch 3. One thing I’ve learned over the last 30 years I’ve been crocheting is that people tend to crochet differently & have differing opinions. I think the general consensus though is to get rid of the ch 3 option to start rows that call for dc. ;)
      Also, to clarify, what I’m referring to are called Stackable Single Crochet. :) I’m not talking about the “standing” sc. They are slightly different in appearance.
