    I love how you break down the instructions and you don’t assume that people know any of the terms. Your camera angle is perfect because the shot is clear and nice and close. The other thing you do great is that you stopped and, with the needle showed where to put the hook. You understand that for beginners all of the holes look the same. To further reach all of your learners you have notes typed on the video. It’s clear how much effort you put into your tutorials. Just an observation from a teacher…and a student of crochet. Thank you!

      One very small granny square was the beginning of what started to be a college dorm bed when my daughter was in school.
      When it was meant to to be finished for her graduation, I kept on with it and it turned into a wedding gift for when she got married, after school.
      At that time it had become a king size blanket.
      I made a second one, same size for one of my sons ..
      Very satisfying.
      While working on them, the blankets went with me to many Dr appointments for myself....crochet pouch and all 👍👍👍

    Excellent video. I have been crocheting for 50 years, but the tips you give for things like changing colors/rows and always starting new rows in the corner are genius. I always disliked the method I used to change colors but thanks to you, I love my (or should I say your) new way of doing it. I would highly recommend this video for a beginner or ANYONE who has a love of crochet. You have a very soothing voice and give a beginner a feeling that they can do it. Thank you so much.

    Beautiful video! My daughter and I are going to work on some granny square pants for her, I sent her this video to show her how to make the squares, as she's never crochet before. Very well described and filmed, thank you! ❤🎉

    I am so HAPPY I found you! You are exactly the type of content I was looking for to help me get started on my crochet journey! I love how you break down each step including finishing off and not make us look for another video on other steps its all here in one video! I also love that after I make my squares I can make the bag with them and have a finished project not just a bunch of squares lying around lol! Thank you again!

    I think this is easy enough for me too. I've learned the single and double stitches, so far. My biggest regret was not spending more time with my grandmother when I was younger. She lived in another state, and we would only be able to visit for a few days and a lot of family was always around, so it was crazy. She did beautiful work. She was very crafty,, which I believe I've inherited, but I've been afraid to start crocheting. Mainly cause every craft starts out little, then before I know it, I have a room full of yarn. But I'm trying to learn. So far, I've managed to make hanging dishtowels. Getting better.

    Its a MIRACLE GIRLY!! I learned the granny square with YOUR tutorial. I missed one thing in the beginning, To Yarn Over before the double crochets! and boom! Your tutorial has made me happier than I have been in a long time. I used to know loosely self-taught granny square but everything came out wonky. this year im learning 4r4r and Im in disbelief. I really think (its obvious by views, i think i searched you by views. but its obvious that you are the crochet tutorial queen!! BIG THANK YOU!! Chanay from Nw Ohio

    Your instructions were impeccable! You spoke clearly and the visuals are clear. I watched the video once to ensure I understood the process, then watched it a second time as I made my first ever granny square. I didn’t need the instructions for the 2nd and subsequent squares. Wonderful! Thank you!

    Hands down the best video on RUclips for granny squares, you cover everything. 🙌
    Everyone says to start with a granny square and a Magix circle... that's where we all abandon ship. You make it so easy, you make it make sense. Thank you. I share this to anyone who needs to learn a granny sqare.

  • @veracdy
    @veracdy 2 года назад +5

    I love this tutorial, thank you so much!! I’ve tried so many others and kept getting confused but this pattern is so easy. I love that it keeps repeating itself so it’s really easy for a beginner. I started off learning how to crochet a beginner flower so this was perfect for a second task - unfortunately I had to go through so many other videos before I found this. Thanks for being so clear and repetitive!!
    Oh and I LOVE that you taught us using the needle to thread in the loose yarns first and then moved on to teach us how to hide it in when you thought we would be able to handle it - SO GOOD. I love love love how thoughtful that was!
    I’m left handed but this video was so clear I had no issue at all.

    This is the video that helped me understand knots I just… could not understand while reading about them. You do a GREAT job showing exactly how your hook moves and where it goes without blocking it with your hand or angle of the camera. Thank you so much! I’m learning for the first time and I appreciate you! ❤

    This is a fantastic tutorial. I am an absolute beginner, and was getting frustrated trying to "master" double crochets in a longer row. Making a granny square, with your super detailed and easy-to-understand directions helps to really power through how awkward it can be for newbies. Thank you so much!

    I came into this video with very little crochet knowledge, only how to make a basic chain, and have created my very first granny square!! I'm thrilled. You broke down each step into its simplest form -- incredible. This is the fourth video I've clicked on trying to learn & yours was the only one I've been able to comprehend. So straightforward & thorough. Thanks for all the time you put into making this video. I'm making a granny square balaclava :)

    I just stopped back by to say that I literally had zero idea how to crochet before I found this video. I had a few skeins of yarn and some hooks that I won at a Christmas bingo party and I had always wanted to learn to crochet. I started googling and came across your page. BEST THING EVER! Thank you SO much for doing these videos! You make it so easy to learn, breaking down everything step by step! I’ve made a few dozen of these and they are SO fun to make! I will be back for more of your videos frequently! Keep up the good work, and again, THANK YOU!!!! ❤
