Thanks for the great tutorial! I watched probably 12 other joining techniques and yours, by far, was the easiest and the most invisible. The idea of joining horizontally is ingenious!
Kennedy Thorley me too! I love this diagonal method !
I just found an even more invisible one. Search “Create the ULTIMATE seamless invisible granny square join” by Colleen Hayes.

Oh, no, another one is just annoying as heck! Sooo slooow too much taaalking, yuck 🤢
Thank you! I wanted a finishing for the squares other than crocheting the edge. You have a nice voice to listen to.
OK....this is it! I have used other "invisible" stitches and while it did work, I couldn't get it to look as nice as I had hoped. This way is SO EASY and looks amazing! This is my choice for Granny Square joining from this day forward. Thank you so much for sharing! I will be making more Granny Squares from now on! Yahoo!!!
Thank you. Very clear instructions. One thing I noticed is that each needle pull goes from the inside of the square toward the outside. This video helped me very much!
I like this method! I have a slightly quicker one that is totally invisible from the front, but it is NOT reversible. Love this. Thanks!
Thank you! I have watched so many tutorials and the corner issue was never answered. Making my first granny square blanket, also Mario themed. Haha
Thank you for this video it was so helpful...this was great..
I have been searching for three weeks to find a granny square join; your video is EXACTLY what I've been hoping to find! Thank you SO MUCH for creating this video and uploading it to youtube!

I watched another tutorial on the seamless joining with crochet granny squares and was frustrated because the other woman was not very clear with what she was explaining . I watched your tutorial and it makes complete sense! Thank you so very much! I put a lot of time into making the granny squares for my son's Minecraft Steve blanket and I want to make sure it looks and holds the best for a lot of wear! Thank you again!
The best join ive seen! My granny patch blanket lays absolutely flat! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for this tutorial! I must agree, easiest join and definitely invisible and much more secure than just joining outside loops shown on other tutorials!!!!
+gamecrafts THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! this was perfect! i am doing my first granny sq motif lovey (have been avoiding doing anything with squares and joining since i have NEVER done it before!) and the pattern i am following didnt show HOW to join so i was totally upset and lost!! :( but YOU are my HERO and SAVED the DAY!!! :) :) :) this was one of the BEST tutorials, and trust me i watch a LOT of them!! i was close to see what you were doing without blurriness or the traveling/moving camera, (which cause me such seasickness) it was STABLE!!! and you showed the WHOLE thing!!!! from beginning to end!!! and i so APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH!!!! and really sorry you sacrificed your blanket to show us, but soooooo appreciate it!!! God bless
I have been looking for a way to join and this one will work perfectly for me. Thank you so much
Only video I could find that explained how to do the corners!!! Thank you! Very helpful!
Thank you thank you!! I've been looking for a video that shows how to join more squares then just 2 and also how to finish it off. I will be using this. I have to plan my rainbow blanket out though lol I was going to do rows but I like this idea so I better get paper and colour pencils out to plan it lol thank you and I have Subbed :)
Finally an example that makes this SO easy. Thank you so much!
Thank you,,the best tutorial I have seen....Rose Niagara Falls Canada,,,,
Brilliant!! Never thought this way in all these years.
Great method, great explanation, the pic of the diagonal order made my day! THANKS!!!
This is wonderful! Thank you so very much for sharing this technique! I will definiteily be using this!
Great demo and instructions. Love the finished look.
" i hope it's helped?" IT IS HELP ME SOOOO MUCHHHH!!!!... :) Thank a bunch for your very crystal clear tutorial...
I love this technique! I made a baby blanket for my cousin using this joining technique and it is beautiful. thank you so very much for this tutorial.
I have always thought to go in a zig zag!!! You are a genius!!!
You have indeed gamed the joining system with this idea - brilliant - now I'm as smart as you!
Hello, thank you so much this method is by far the best one I've seen. I'm definitely using it! :)
Awesome job teaching ty very much for sharing
How do you decide which color yarn to join with when the squares are different colors?
Best joining video I’ve seen so far. Love it!!
Thanks! If the two squares are different colors, you can join them using either color. I would say just be consistent; so if you are using the main color from the left square, always use the color of the left square for your joins. I didn't do this in my blanket because I didn't think it made a difference; turns out the difference is very small. You might see a slightly different shape of stitch on ones that you use the opposite color on. So, depends if you're a perfectionist or not. If you're not, use whichever color is most convenient! It will blend in well enough.
Thank you for this tutorial - I have been crocheting for years but am just finishing my first granny square blanket - I was having a hard time deciding on how to join until I watched your tutorial which is brilliant - can not wait to finish and start the next one! Just wondering if you could use the same technique thru the back loop only...........
Sure, you could; it wouldn't look exactly the same on the back and the front though. You could try it out for a side of a square and see if you like the way it turns out.
This is a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much, I love this technique will be using it, super helpful 😊
Thank you for the tutorial it helps. you do a good job of explaining how to work it.
This is. the best tq pm
I am going to try this on a not-granny square motif and I hope it works as well!
You know you're addicted to crochet when you watch 3 seasons of a TV show and have no idea what the characters look like !!!
I'm not sure if you will see this since you posted the video 2 years ago, but I see your squares are super flat. Did you block them before sewing them together? Of so, how do you block them so they look SO NICE? Thank you for your video. I have been staying away from granny blankets because I don't like the look of them when joined but yours is truly invisible and beautiful! I like that pixel crochet is a perfect mix of my two.loves, crochet and cross stitch!
Thanks! I did not block my squares; I think keeping them flat is a combination of using the right hook size for your personal tension, and the type of yarn. For this project I used "I Love This Yarn" from Hobby Lobby; I find it's a lot softer than most acrylic yarns and lays better. I also try out 2 or 3 different hook sizes before starting most projects, because otherwise I'll get 10% in and wish I had used a different hook, just to feel like I've gone too far to change it, haha. Hopefully that helps!
Great video tutorial! Thank you!
great video!
Love that stitch!
Where did you find the pattern for the blanket you made? I would love to make blankets with these patterns. Is there a site I can use? Or did you create this on your own somehow? And this video helped me so much getting my blanket finished!!! Thank you!
Yes; I drew this on my own. I have a video about making it here: ruclips.net/video/FMEeEVY_6Ts/видео.html
could this also work for solid granny squares? sorry if that is a daft question
Super tutorial!!!
What a cool join !!!
Thanks so much.
Just wondering, it appears you're using a sharp needle to attach the squares. Is there a reason why you would use that instead of a ballpoint tip regular yarn needle? Love the technique and will definitely use this next time I'm working on granny squares.
Yes; I prefer using a sharp one for weaving in the ends on blankets I know will get a lot of use because splitting the yarn back and forth really locks it in tightly. Doing the "shoelacing" part would likely be easier with a yarn needle, but I didn't want to bother switching back and forth. It would certainly be fine, and probably more traditional, to use a ballpoint yarn needle for all of it.
Thank so much
I believe this is the mattress stitch 😁💗💕
Hi love you explain the technique, my only question is do you start with a side by side join
Yes you can use this same technique for the first two squares, just attach them next to eachother. It's easiest to zigzag, so you would start in a corner with the squares in this order, if it makes sense:
6
3 5
1 2 4
I like this method. I've done something simiair. I think I like this better.
My granny taught me this kind of join 😌 but ... I was 9 or 10 +- 40 years ago . So ... I couldn't remember how to secure these ends without puckering it up 😪 😅 😂
When you run out of yarn while sewing together how do you join the yarns? Do you use the Russian Join?
That would be a good technique; I personally didn't run out while I was joining on this project, since I wouldn't start a side if I had less than a foot left. That way I could just tie off the end of the yarn as if I was at the edge, and then start a new piece at the next corner and weave in the ends.
putting panels together..directions say right sides together go through back loops only.....which is the back loop in the back panel?
If right sides are together, back loop is still in relation to the "right" side. So in that case, it would be outside loops.
How much of a difference would it make if you joined in horizontal rows rather than do it diagonally?
I wouldn't think it would make too big of a difference, if you did it consistently (always the same direction left/right and bottom/top). The reason I didn't do it that way is if you wanted to connect one strip of squares into a row, you'd have 20 short joins as you connect each square. Starting and tying off the ends takes the most time for me, so since I had large blocks of color, it worked out to be faster to attach them diagonally.
Thank you!
how do you measure about how much yarn you would need to join each row?
I pull out some yarn and lay it along the edge I plan to join to cut it at the right length. Say it's attaching 3 squares, so leave a good tail for tacking down the end, lay the yarn along the side and edge of the 3 squares you plan to join, and then leave room for another long tail and cut the yarn there. I would usually add a few more inches just to be safe, since it's annoying to cut it too short to finish off. Since you're pulling the thread basically tight the whole length, it's accurate enough to measure it this way.
You didn't explain WHY you prefer to join in zig zag fashion rather than in rows,
Because I can join them more continuously instead of starting and tying off one square at a time; which also makes it faster/more efficient.
+gamecrafts well shoot...didnt think on how to start this :( looked but didnt see any vids on how you started the base! darn :(
I ended up joining mine in a zig-zag pattern, because it was more efficient than starting and stopping at the end of each square. To start at a corner, just do the exact same thing as in the video; go up one side and across the adjacent side to join the first 3 squares of the corner. Let me know if that doesn't answer your question.
+gamecrafts i appreciate the quick response. sadly i am a visual person and would really have to see it...even if drawn in a picture! :D i only have 9 squares 3x3 to join. i already did 2 sqs and was attempting to figure out how to do row above...i kinda joined the corner of the '1st' (above the 1st one) and was gonna join #2 but didnt know if i should go up vertically or do #2 to the #2 horizontally??? very confused. :P thanks
Try looking at this for the order: images.eknightmusic.com/join-order.jpg The yarn color just needs to match one of the two squares you are joining. If you can't do a whole zig-zag in the same color because your square colors change, you can tie off in between squares any where you need and start again with the new color (as if you were at the end and beginning of a row.) You can rotate that diagram too any direction you need, so hopefully the two you have already joined you can keep connected.
+gamecrafts thanks ever so much!!! the pic will help i'm sure!! :)
GameCrafts thank you for this video and this link.I was wondering the same thing.And thank you Cindy for asking the question I needed answered.😊
👍❤💚
I never knew people sewed squares together. I do not like to sew at all.
👍😘
