🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on RUclips yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthev... and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
How much yarn will I need? This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
How many squares do I need for a blanket? That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
Do you have the written pattern? Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyro... The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website
How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's? Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
Can you remake this video so it is slower? If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: • How to Adjust the Spee...
Why do you use American stitch terminology? I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyro...

Just so beautiful and delicate and strong in the same time. Best tutorial ever. Very beautiful hands and very soothing voice. Love it!!!!

I LOVED your continuous join video. It was magic! And this dc2tog trick to get over the joined corner spaces is brilliant. Thank you!
Thank you! So many of your tutorials have helped me get better and better at this. Love trying out new stitches and projects.
I used this whole series to put my twelve 12 inch granny squares together. Thank you so much! This was simple and fun. I will definitely use this again in the future!
You’re fantastic Thank you so much for these easy to follow and tips how to do this block st edging and how to stop blanket riffling 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️💐💐💐
I know this video is from a year ago but I'm working on a continuous granny blanket & have been thinking about weather or not I should do a border. After seeing this video, I'm definitely doing this border 😍 simply gorgeous! Thank u tremendously for sharing your talent!
I finished my large join as you go granny blanket (bright squares edged in black) using this border - what a nice finish! I have already started my next one!! so satisfying! You are a great instructor, very clear and love the "cough" cartoon, cute.

I really want to thank you for doing this series, I am now on the border. Because you took the time to teach this method and were so very complete in your instructions I was able to make it from start to finish with confidence.

I am making my first granny square blanket ever! I have followed along with your continuous join video and have found myself at this border video.
Would doing one colour work. I am currently joining with a charcoal colour.
This is a great video and bookmarked to use on my next granny square blanket. Thank you.

You’re so welcome Diane!😃🧶
Fine! I just placed an order to create a plaid granny. I took the Scheepjess Stonewashed, because I love her stone colour!
The stonewashed is gorgeous isn't it!
Hooked by Robin Oh yes, absolutely beautiful and I can not wait to have it in my hands!
I love this border...and can I tell you how pretty your hands are! I love all your patterns.😊Thanks very much.
Thank you! 🙌
I have almost completed the puff flower square blanket..love it by the way ❤ i would like to use this border on it, so instead of the chain 3 inbetween the single crochets, am i right in thinking i woul only chain 2 single crochet?
Also on the first row border how many double/double together stitches woul i use to straddle the joins for a flat finish?
Apologies for the questions, but, thanks to you and your tutorial i have made my first crochet blanket, and i love it ❤ . Thank you so much, you are an amazing lady, if only you knew how finding your tutorials has changed my view on life.bless you 🎉❤🎉
I love your tuts. I'm so jealous. I just can't make my granny's come together.
Love this! Thank you, Robin!
Great finish stitches - thanks for the idea. 😊👍🏼

How beautiful 😍
Perfect!
Thank you Julie!😃🧶
Thank you!!
thank you!
You are so welcome Carrie!😀
I’ve completed continuous join as you go. I straightened the wobble with a single crochet taking into consideration of corners to help eliminate the wobble. Now I want to start a block stitch boarder. It still has a little wobble. I am unsure whether I should do another round of SC to see if I can make a straighter edge.
Really li
Loved this.
Love this tutorial! I'm using it to finish my first every crochet project, which is a blanket. When you say add a single crochet if you leave it on the granny shell row, what do you mean? Sorry I'm still very new to crochet. Would you do it in every stitch or just in the spaces to finish it off? I actually love the chain three single crochet row, so I may leave it there for a pop of color. Thanks again!
Hi Robin, great tutorial, have one quick question, for some silly reason i only put one chain in my corners of my granny squares, when i do the block stitch should i only do one chain, or should i maybe do 2 or 3 like you have done??? thanks in advance :)
How would you work the corners if you were working the granny square in horizontal stripes and not squares? With horizontal stripes the corners are different. Thank you for taking the time to answe with horizontal stripes the corners are different.
Hi Robin. I'm currently making a rectangle granny square blanket and was looking for a border that's not scallopy and poofy haha! For my blanket pattern, I'm not chaining between clusters and only doing 1 chain in each corner. Would I follow the same after each pop of color row or would it need the chains like yours has?
You could easily adapt the chains to match what you've currently got on your blanket - I'd definitely test on a small section first just to make sure it's not pulling in too tight but I think you should be fine!
I've been working on a granny square blanket with multiple patterns (traditional granny square or scallop, closed, sunburst, little circle square) and am wondering about the best way to border it? Would a sc foundation row be best to start with?
Hi I have done granny squares with chain two in the corners so do I chain to in the corners on the border or do exactly what you've done chain 3
I had the same thing come up. I did my regular granny square pattern for the main part of the border. Then, I did the single crochet and 3 chain section exactly as directed. Seems to be working just fine!
Wow! Lovely. Do you block the squares before you join, or skip that since you go to extra efforts here to make sure it lies flat? Thanks!
I very rarely block squares full stop to be honest as generally, once they are altogether in a big blanket, the weight of the finished piece tends to block itself (if that makes any sense?!)
@@HookedbyRobin Thank you! I’m making my first granny square blanket, and keep going back and forth on whether to block. I’ll go without now! 😎
@@Archivist82 you can always block the finished blanket at the end if you want to :D x
Hi. I love this border but when doing my granny squares and border I do not chain 1 between clusters and only use a chain 2 in the corners. Would this border still work?
Do we still dc2together the same if the granny part is just two DC in each gap? X
Would this work on a modern granny stripe blanket?
I would love to purchase your join as you go and border on a dvd, if you ever plan to sell them on dvd I will be first in line.
Robin, You are the best! 🌼🌼🌼
if i don't chain 1 in my granny squares, should I still chain 3 between the single crochets and 1 for the second border row? 9:29
Hi Mary from New Zealand.
How do I start the block stitch border if I don’ the finish off at the end of the blanket has on the video you don’t show it from the beginning. Hope you understand all this. I have made a few of you patterns .
Enjoy your videos.
Apologies...i meant the popcorn flower bkanket 😊
what border do you recommend for a blanket done in the wheatsheaf stitch please
Do you have a pattern for this afghan? It is beautiful.
Hi! I've been following you continuous flat braid tutorial when joining my granny squares into a blanket and I was just wondering if it's possible to crochet this border into the chain loops from the continuous flat braid? Sorry if I'm not making sense, hopefully you get what I mean 😅 Thanks!
Yes absolutely! The only thing to maybe watch out for is adding too many stitches and having the border ruffle - I have a video on how to stop that (basically doing a decrease where the squares meet) but feel free to wing it and see!
@@HookedbyRobin Thank you so much! I will go and check out that video 😊
Beautiful border thank you. In my granny square I did three dc and a chain two and three dc. You did a chain of three. Should I just do a chain two as in my granny squares?
Yes just chain 2 thats fine :-)
Hooked by Robin awesome thanks for your fast reply!
I have a wave crochet because I use different yams how can I stop it from being wavy
Starting playlist
😀🧶
Thank you for your video, just curious why do the chain with sc ?
Do you mean at the very start of the round? If so, the ch1 is just to get your hook up to the right height; however, you are free to leave it out if you find it is causing unnecessary bulk to your work :-)
Sorry for my bad english 🤪
I mean why do a row with singelstich on the border before blockstitch, i ask because i am a beginner 🙏
@@anne-lirichter6612 oh I understand! It is just how the pattern is formed :-) the block stitch needs the chains so they sit in alignment 👍
Do you have a lefthand for this tutorial🤗
I actually do! 😃 ruclips.net/video/k9dq1HRllfY/видео.html
I no longer make the left handed versions, however, if you go to www.mirrorthevideo.com it will convert any video on RUclips to be left handed! Xx
Thank you🤗👌perfect
Could you do this border all in one color?
Definitely Bonnie!😃🧶
I'm currently doing a big pride flag blanket out of granny squares and I think this would be a super cute border with a full rainbow around... and I guess that makes an even bigger blanket! Oops!
