She is the best teacher I've seen. I had stroke a few years a go and my short term memory is flawed. Watching her instructions over and over I fianally get it. Thank you, thank you!! Patti
I also had two stroke and was about to talk, write, walk etc again. I was always a crocheter and I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to crochet again it been 9 years now, I had to learn to crochet again but with RUclips I learned again and learn more stitches and techniques. I also improved my knitting and sewing. It was at my own pace, rewinding over and over again. RUclips is great for learning new things and improving new skills for seniors. I hope they stop trying to change it.
My Mom always had us flip our Granny Squares....I was surprised how many current UTuber teacher's don't even suggest this! It makes Granny's so much easier. Thank you for reaffirming this technique!
I've used your missed stitch method to repair heirloom blankets. It's priceless to be able to fix works of art of those long dead so the blankets can continue being used and loved.
Finally I can make a blanket after 3 years of trying! Thank you from this 72 year old Grandma who taught myself to crochet at this age but it just never really clicked so that I could complete a project til now! Thank you!!!!
I am catching up on all of your older videos Roz and I must say your instructions on these are the BEST! I have been trying so many Granny Rectangle tutorials and some people make them so difficult for old lady (a 75 year old beginner) crippled fingers to follow. Your rectangle granny is PERFECT for me. Thank you so much for such awesome tutorials!❤🦋
I liked your comment about not "unseeing" a mistake. Because I do many different types of crafting and needle work I have made my share of mistakes. I am also a bit of a perfectionist so when I have made mistakes--crochet, cross-stitch, tiny bead weaving, painting--I obsess about it to the point of driving my poor husband nutty. Finally he asked me to show him the general area of a mistake and said if he could pick it out without me identifying it right away then it was probably worth trying to fix. He said if he couldn't find it, most people would probably not notice it either. That was about 20 years ago and this method still works for me. He has also learned a great deal about crafting himself!
I absolutely love that you hold your working yarn the same way I do. My grandma and aunt tried for so many years to make me hold it with my pointer finger sticking up in the air, and I could never get it. As an adult, I picked up yarn again and did it my way, and now I am so good at it, and discovering many people hold it alternative ways and that is absolutely OK!
I am so happy to finally find a way to keep my square, a square lol. I have crocheted my whole life so it's about time to finally figure this out. Thank you so much! :)
Happy Thanksgiving ! I have to admit that I am utterly addicted with the Granny Square for its nostalgic quality and versatility. In this video, I share how the infinity granny/rectangle is truly one of the easiest blankets you can make if you are a beginner. Limited counting and only chains/ double crochets are needed to whip this up. This is also a great "go to" if you are a seasoned crocheter wanting to get some stash busting done! Hope you enjoy the video and let's play some hooky! xx
Good morning from a sunny Sunday in Australia. Oh wow I just found your RUclips channel thank you I haven't done any crochet in 50 years oh you are a great teacher ❤️🇦🇺👏
5:38 this trick is ever so much easier than the way I had invented for myself, not having anybody to teach me or enough vocabulary on the subject to ask anyone who could tell me... a heartfelt thank you for sharing this with us
you are so precise with your crochet, which is great for me because I am a little OCD with my crochet and knitting. thanks again for another wonderful video. Your tips are so helpful
This is the type of crocheting my grama used to do! She made blankets with the infinity granny stitch. Thank you for showing this!! I've been looking all over youtube for how to make blankets like she used to.
Hi and thank you AGAIN for responding back so quickly and for your help and suggestions! I am looking forward to exploring more of your video tutorials including the C2C for beginners AND converting the granny square into a rectangle which should be perfect for wheelchair blankets!! I should have mentioned that I am a lefty so when you say the wrong side, it really is my right side!!😂
Oh you’re a lefty! I’ve often thought of mirroring my videos so it’s in the left hand orientation but they would be a bit weird since I’m sure I’m using left/right as I speak . Maybe it could be something I offer as help when needed . ❤️
Wow! Game changer for the times when I see that I did 2 instead of 3 dc in a space. I always frog the whole row cuz I have to be such a perfectionist. Thanks for that tip.
Just what I’ve been looking for! Knitting my first infinity granny blanket right now, and loving it; no counting rows, easy pattern to remember. Ticks all my boxes!
Hi Roz. I needed to tell you that I was taught how to crochet when I was in first grade by my great aunt. Since then I have taught many including my sister and mother-in-law that are lefties. Your videos are well-planned, very clear to understand, spoken with a calm voice but most of all, one can tell what a dedicated love that you have for crochet. Thanks for what you offer to all of us. We greatly appreciate it and we hope that you will continue. Hugsss, Kat.❤
Your words have touched my heart, thank you so much . It helps me to know that I’m teaching in a way that is easy to understand. That’s my goal each time I sit down and film. I’m never sure if I have or not.😅 Thank you , Kat ❤️
@@PlayHookywithMe I understand what you mean. Our society sadly dwells on the negative, therefore only speaks up when there are problems. I practice and prefer to acknowledge the positive. So, trust me, I am being truthful. ❤️
Lovely! Reminds me of my mum who died 30 years ago an ardent crocheter! I still use rugs she made! How she would have loved you tube and this lady! Methods in those days were passed on person to person! What a marvellous teacher this lady is!
My mom taught me how to crochet when I was in 4th grade about 9 years old. This is the pattern she taught me on. Thank you for the refresher. You made me smile, thank you
I thought I was the only one who held the yarn this way! I’ve never seen anyone else do this. They always have their pointing finger held out and up. So nice to see someone else crochet this way 😊
@@PlayHookywithMe Nice to know I am a member of a tribe! Loved the video 💕 Turning the granny square was new to me but am going to try it out. Your 2 examples side by side were very persuasive 😊 Will be checking out your other videos 👍
I really enjoy all the tutorials I've used on Play Hooky With Me. She is very thorough in her instructions & doesn't leave anything out. Very easy to follow.
Have made several of these for Christmas presents. And also.for women's shelters ect. And never had problems with the corners stretching out like that. Since I am only 1 crocheting in order to make as many as possible I work in the round.
Been trying to make 1 granny square since I started crocheting 4 months ago… have had no luck until watching this video. Thank you sooooo much. I finally made one!!
Ive been shown how to do a granny square many different ways, every way has been different, but your way is def something I'll have to give a try, especially the rectangle, I've never seen a rectangle version like this before. Thank you for some new inspiration, got yourself a new sub.
Hi roz just to say I think your idea of flipping. Is so great I love the rectangle too. I have done a lot of your corner to corner granny blankets for charity so well-received by everyone .huge thanks. Your very talented and a great teacher too. God bless you, ❤❤❤
Love your videos! I’ve crocheted since I was 12 and I’m 63 now. I learned things I had no idea about watching your videos and appreciate your time and the knowledge that you share with us. Thank you so much!!! ❤
I'm 19 and started to crochet for a while now, I have watched easily 8 videos on how to do a granny square for a blanket, and not once dit it stay a square until I found your video when I was about to give up on it, Thank You! Now I can make a blanket for winter ❤
This is my first time crocheting a blanket but with this tutorial it was so easy! In the beginning I had to restart because my tension was too tight and it wouldn’t lay flat but now I’ve just been adding little by little every day and I am going to have a comforter for my bed in the summertime! Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial!
Thank you for such an excellent tutorial! This is my first granny square and second blanket and to call it my favorite thing I've ever made is the understatement of the century. Every time I look at it I'm in shock that I made something this beautiful with my own two hands!!
I just wanna say thank you! I’m still a beginner. Started learning late August and was having so much trouble making granny squares. Last week I found this video and it’s so well explained! Already made one and it looks great. Thank you again, for sharing your knowledge with us ❤
I’m a newbie... learned my stitches and made few pairs of coasters n really itching to make some blanket .. n I found this video .. oh my god , this is awesome ... thank you for sharing this amazing blanket idea 😊
Oh I’m so excited that you are excited 😂💕👏🏻💕 I love reading messages like this. I hope you enjoy making your blanket , I know you will! 🧶❤️ thank you for telling me!
My very first project many years ago was in 2nd grade when my teacher taught us girls how to crochet. I loved it so much, we made a pot holder. I was unable to continue with learning and tried to pick it back up about 13 years ago but nothing came out right so I trashed all my projects. Now I am back again wanting to learn and your video has taught me so much. I am looking forward to making blankets for Halloween, fall, Christmas and for our bedroom and guest room.
I really need to try and let other crocheters know how much I despised doing granny squares until this tutorial came out. Now it is not a chore and the final squares are so beautiful!!! Do try this pattern if in past you have found yourself avoiding granny squares. 💕
I started flipping my granny square/round wirk some time ago and just loved the final result. Flat and reversible granny square. You are a great teacher . From São Paulo, Brazil
Wow, I’m so excited to begin an infinity granny square. I have completed one before; however, I struggled with closing the circle and changing colors. Your great video ( camera angle and instructions) have made the pattern so much clearer. Thank you
I have recently began a cozy mystery called “ Hooked on Murder” and the main character learns to crochet. Since I’m a beginner I can relate to her struggles. Thanks again
These are great tips. You do beautiful work. I too am obsessed with granny squares. I love to make charity blankets either row by row or a granny going around and around like this video. Glad to have these tips to make my squares neater. 💜💕💜
Thank you for this amazing video. I had no idea flipping was a thing. I’m new to crochet n I love how simple you explain it!!! Watched the whole video now going to make a granny square with you, Yay!! 😊🙌🏼🌸
I've been crocheting for more than 50 years. In 2003, I made an infinity granny afghan as a gift for my mother-in-law. Because I pooled my colors, it came out quite nice. Even as an experienced crocheter, it's possible to make something beautiful with such a simple pattern.
That is so smart. I never thought of slip stitching in second dc, also flipping the work makes a neater work. And never did a rectangle granny square. Thank you.
Never heard of flipping your work to keep things square. Great idea. I will try it. Also love your colors (black, pink, tan, white) on your cover shot.
I first heard of that from Tony on TLYarnCrafts. It is so incredibly useful, I can highly recommend doing it for any project where you repeat a single stitch over and over, such as a shirt or sweater.
I love your tutorial. I’m a new viewer and happy to say a new subscriber. I like your voice and the way you instruct without a lot of unnecessary talking.
Absolutely genius idea I never ever flipped my squares and I have this project and wow does it make a difference no more wonky squares thank you so much great video.
Just found your channel after dabbling with very basic crochet over the years...wanting to get back into it and this tutorial is just excellent. I don't want to be dramatic, but I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see how you hold your hook! I have never been able to hold mine any other way and I feel encouraged seeing you and your beautiful work. I look forward to trying the rectangle version of this when I get my yarn order. I've subscribed...😊
Thank you for the tip aboit flipping the granny square.Ive just made a blanket and it's turned out absolutely perfect.You're a fabulous teacher ❤❤watching from South Africa
Iv been trying for ab 4 weeks trying to find different videos to see which would work for me and this was the very best I recommend this so much I have now just made my first ever square and now I can make many more projects ❤
Thank you so much! I just started recently and have not been able to understand how to make a granny square until I found this video! This is super cool!!!!
Thank you sooooooooo much for the tutorial. I usually don’t follow along to these kinds of videos I’ll just watch and figure it out on my on but it’s so much easier to follow along thanks!!
Thank you so much for the tutorial....ordered my yarn for this today, hopefully it will be here by Friday. I love the look of granny squares but HATE joining, so this is beyond perfect. Can't wait to get started....PS I did a 6" swatch and using your instructions it came out perfectly square. Thanks again.
Wow! Thank you! I thought it was me!!! I did a whole afghan in wanky squares! It has a nice swirly effect which looks cool. BUT it’s not was I intended!!!!! I want a PERFECT square! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
Hi Roz, I'm an 83 yr. old woman who has begun to teach myself crochet and I found your videos the best of all, and I've watched many. I love your straightforward, clear approach to teaching. I want to ask if and how I can get printouts of your patterns. Thanks so much for presenting crochet clarity and many good wishes for success.
Oh wonderful! I’m so glad you have found it helpful. I’m so sorry to say that I don’t have anything written/printable yet. I’m a hobbyist crocheter, so writing patterns is new to me . But, I am going to work on this and if I can find a way to provide this , I will 💕
Hello! I just found you today 4/23/21. I've been looking for an infinite tutorial. I'm so glad I found you, your instructional video is so easy to follow. Thank you
Thanks for clarifying you don't do a chain in between clusters- I just watched a different video on a granny rectangle after having learned to do a granny square with a ch1 in between clusters and I was SO confused. This is such a great video!
I love the colors you've used with these granny's! I'm really impressed with that tip for making your granny square flips! I've always done it the other way and like you mentioned in your video it's not straight, it's kinda wavy. So now when I make granny squares I'm flipping!! Thanks for the great tip! I've never made a rectangle granny square either, so I'm gonna try my hand at doing both the traditional and the rectangular granny!! Love this video! So informative!! Thank you!!
I'm almost done with a rectangle granny afghan, I wish I would have seen this before starting it. Great tips! I'll be referring to this video on my next project, thanks.
She is the best teacher I've seen. I had stroke a few years a go and my short term memory is flawed. Watching her instructions over and over I fianally get it. Thank you, thank you!! Patti

Thank you for this amazing video. I had no idea flipping was a thing. I’m new to crochet n I love how simple you explain it!!! Watched the whole video now going to make a granny square with you, Yay!! 😊🙌🏼🌸
Wonderful!! I’m so happy that you found it helpful! 💕💕 thank you
That is the best way to change colors I have ever seen, I wish I had known about that years ago.
Thank you 😀💕
I've been crocheting for more than 50 years. In 2003, I made an infinity granny afghan as a gift for my mother-in-law. Because I pooled my colors, it came out quite nice. Even as an experienced crocheter, it's possible to make something beautiful with such a simple pattern.
Absolutely 🧶🥰
Thank you Roz for making this video. You are excellent at explaining clearly each step. I love the tip about flipping our work. Very nice!
Appreciate it, Kathleen 💕💕
I agree with you on whether or not to flip the square. Flipping always works best for me too..
Thank U so much for this tutorial by far you are the clearest tutor ever
Thank you ! I’m so glad you found it useful 💕
That is so smart. I never thought of slip stitching in second dc, also flipping the work makes a neater work. And never did a rectangle granny square. Thank you.
Thank you , Muriel 😃💕
Never heard of flipping your work to keep things square. Great idea. I will try it. Also love your colors (black, pink, tan, white) on your cover shot.
Thank you, Diane! It really does work and also makes your finished piece reversible. 💕
I first heard of that from Tony on TLYarnCrafts. It is so incredibly useful, I can highly recommend doing it for any project where you repeat a single stitch over and over, such as a shirt or sweater.
Thanks for the tip about adding the double crochet. Very helpful. 😇
So glad you found it useful! 🧶💕👏🏻
Couldn’t be happier to have found your channel! Never could figure out granny squares and your video made it click for me, so, many thanks!
Really! That’s fantastic, thank you for letting me know 😀💕
Thanks to this video, I just completed a baby blanket! This was so super easy to make 💜
Awesome sauce!! I’m so glad! 😀💕
I love your tutorial. I’m a new viewer and happy to say a new subscriber. I like your voice and the way you instruct without a lot of unnecessary talking.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and for deciding to subscribe 😀👏🏻💕

You are so welcome! Thank you for letting me know! x
It's honestly hard to find a good video for making granny squares, but this video was easy to follow along and had really good tips and tricks.
Oh good! I’m glad it was understandable 🧶💕
Just found your channel after dabbling with very basic crochet over the years...wanting to get back into it and this tutorial is just excellent. I don't want to be dramatic, but I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see how you hold your hook! I have never been able to hold mine any other way and I feel encouraged seeing you and your beautiful work. I look forward to trying the rectangle version of this when I get my yarn order. I've subscribed...😊
Not dramatic at all - I get excited when I come across people that hold it this way too 😆🙌🏻💕
Happy to have you here, thank you for subscribing!!
I love your tutorial! Simple, easy to follow for beginners like myself. Thanks! Will be starting the granny rectangle now❤

The one on the left is how I do mine. It really turns out so much better. I've done several like this.❤ I love how they turn out.
Me too … the different color combos keep them so addictive to make 👏🏻💕
I've also got a different way to do my blankets but sometimes I have a hard time remembering how I did them.
Thankyou just discovered you. My granny squares have always been crooked. So pleased I can now do a straight square.
So happy to ready this 😀💕🧶
Neat! It’s been so many yrs since I crocheted & I really miss it.

Thank you so much for the tutorial....ordered my yarn for this today, hopefully it will be here by Friday. I love the look of granny squares but HATE joining, so this is beyond perfect. Can't wait to get started....PS I did a 6" swatch and using your instructions it came out perfectly square. Thanks again.
Wonderful news! I hope you enjoy it! 💕
Wow! Thank you! I thought it was me!!! I did a whole afghan in wanky squares! It has a nice swirly effect which looks cool. BUT it’s not was I intended!!!!! I want a PERFECT square! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
Argh, frustrating, I know . 😂😖 Definitely not you ! Thanks for writing , I appreciate it! 💕💕
Hi Roz,
I'm an 83 yr. old woman who has begun to teach myself crochet and I found your videos the best of all, and I've watched many. I love your straightforward, clear approach to teaching. I want to ask if and how I can get printouts of your patterns. Thanks so much for presenting crochet clarity and many good wishes for success.
Oh wonderful! I’m so glad you have found it helpful. I’m so sorry to say that I don’t have anything written/printable yet.
I’m a hobbyist crocheter, so writing patterns is new to me . But, I am going to work on this and if I can find a way to provide this , I will 💕
Oh, my name is Lee, not John. We're working on fixing that.
@@johnpierce4575 nice to meet you, Lee! 😃
Hello! I just found you today 4/23/21. I've been looking for an infinite tutorial. I'm so glad I found you, your instructional video is so easy to follow. Thank you
Thank you so much! So happy that you found the video helpful! 😀💕👏🏻💕
Hi there how are you doing
Thanks for clarifying you don't do a chain in between clusters- I just watched a different video on a granny rectangle after having learned to do a granny square with a ch1 in between clusters and I was SO confused. This is such a great video!
Oh good, thank you ! Yes , thankfully there is some wiggle room with chains to get the look YOU want. 🙌🏻💕
Making a granny square blanket for my grandparents, ty for this!! So helpful 🥰
Great great tute on granny squares. One of the best I’ve seen. Thanks
Thank you , I’m glad you found it useful! 💕
I appreciate your missed stitch fix.
I have done one of these blankets and I love them. Maybe my go to pattern. They are fun and not a lot of counting stitches.
Same ! Just a simple , relaxing stitch 👏🏻
Hi there how are you doing
I love the colors you've used with these granny's! I'm really impressed with that tip for making your granny square flips! I've always done it the other way and like you mentioned in your video it's not straight, it's kinda wavy. So now when I make granny squares I'm flipping!! Thanks for the great tip! I've never made a rectangle granny square either, so I'm gonna try my hand at doing both the traditional and the rectangular granny!! Love this video! So informative!! Thank you!!
Oh, that’s so great! I’m happy you found something helpful in the video , thanks for letting me know 😀💕
I watched a couple different videos and couldn't get it, this video helped me understand right away!! :)
So happy it helped 😀💕
I'm almost done with a rectangle granny afghan, I wish I would have seen this before starting it. Great tips! I'll be referring to this video on my next project, thanks.
Great! You’re right , that’s the beauty of this blanket ... so fun to make multiple times ! Thanks for watching !
I have been doing this for many years love making them this way.happy some one made a video of it thank you.
Hi there how are you doing
This is the best video to explain how to do granny square throw. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Brenda ! 😀🧶
Fixing that missed stitch is brilliant!
😀🙌🏻
