    UPDATE: Hi everyone! This video has received a resurgence of interest so I wanted to let you know that I AM making this blanket and will show you the finished project in a few weeks. Here are some answers to your questions in the meantime. The yarn is "Feels Like Butta" and is a sport weight (Med 4) requiring a 4mm hook. I used a 3.75 mm which made each square 4x4 inches. I am making a 3' x 4' FT throw blanket (not including the border) and I will need 108 squares to do this ( width= 9 squares, height =12 squares). Each square takes about 23 yards of yarn. The skeins I have are 218 yards each so I will need 12 Skeins to make this size blanket. Hope

      May I ask is that 12 skeins all up & as there’s 5 colours how many of each colour did you need

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  3 года назад +4

      @@victorialamarque-blair6289 12 skeins total varying the colors . When I bought the yarn at Michaels, the skeins were huge. Each was the equivalent of 3 skeins so I have essentially 15 skeins but definitely don’t need that much. So to answer your question, I would get two of each color (10) then choose a 6th color for the remaining 2 or maybe repeat 1 or 2 colors to reach 12.

    I haven't made a granny square in 50+ years but this beautiful pattern has made me rethink them. In my teens I made a blanket for my mom using the standard granny square but ran out of yarn. With no money for more yarn it became what my family jokingly called the "Half-gan". Although my mom has been gone for many years, it still lives on and has warmed laps of our entire extended family over the years. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I just may have to try them again! ♥️

    Hi Roz..Best Granny Tutorial ever!! I learned basic crochet 2 yrs ago- after knitting throughout my life- Im now 65 & i was intimidated to try any Granny Sq pattern- I couldnt get the"ring" idea..Today I sat down, determined to CAL with you this gorgeous sunburst..and Voila- 2hrs later- I completed my first Granny- learned the "ring" your way- just a center really- and I had REAL FUN..I love your method of teaching..I like how you stacked the basic cirles- to crochet the edges later..I like to complete projects- and I had just finished a crocheted tassel afghan 48X60 in..and I wanted to make something that can be pastels- like yours- or boho colors- or even made in OMBRE colors- cuz I have multiple stashes in different clors.. and I just had so much fun- this was a starting point- and Im going to make more squares & use your BLOCK STITCH BORDER because I love how it looks..Im so excited,,Thanks for making this so easy..I cant wait to see what I make!!

    I know this video was made awhile ago but it's been years since I crocheted and I seen this video 1nd it inspired me to buy the yarn needed thank you. Oh I'd like to add I have pets too and I found that there is a shed comb for animals that I use on mine and it has reduced them from shedding hair all over as I brush them once a week. You can find it in 1 pet store or online . Looks similar to a mini rake but gets all the loose hair. Have a blessed day 🙏❤️🌈

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  6 месяцев назад

      You can try going up a hook size to help loosen the stitches - or add a chain in between stitches to help give it more room. It’s easiest to do that in between granny clusters or in the corners .
      It just sounds like a tension issue so these two suggestions should do the trick 👍🏻

    I love this tutorial and I LOOOOVE the colors you chose! I love doing starburst granny squares, but I keep having one issue: when I do my round of puff stitches, I tend to get a gap underneath it, between the puff stitch and double crochet. Your rows are all so tight and neat, and fit against each other so nicely! I'm wondering if I'm pulling too hard on the puff stitch, or if my double crochets aren't tight enough...do you have any words of wisdom you could pass on to a newbie crocheter?

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  3 года назад +6

      Thank you so much - gosh I have to admit I’m not really sure what could be causing that. It could be an issue with tension - maybe a smaller hook size to see if that tightens it up for you ? I use a 3.75 mm eventhough my yarn calls for a 4mm.
      Maybe someone will read this and have some insights. Keep me posted if you find a resolution ❤️

    Lovely square, and easy! I used a size H hook and my square measured about 4 and 3/4", so I added another row of dc to get it 6". This square is great-I'll be makin more.

    I just finished reading some comments and I don't want to repeat what everyone else is saying, but I totally agree with everyone. The colors of the yarn looks really pretty together. I would love to have a throw like this but it's to much of changing the colors for me because I am not good at changing the colors in any project. Thank you for this tutorial.

      @@PlayHookywithMe when it's time to change colors, I usually tie the two ends in a knot, like 5 times because I'm always afraid it will come undone and also the 2 different yarn ends. I don't see them in very well and hide them. I have seen people change colors 1000x but I'm still unsure about myself. Thank you for replying. ❤️

      @@poppykisley2459 Ugh, I know it. A lot of times you can carry the tail in the next round and catch it in the stitches and eliminate a lot of them that way. Leave a long tail and include it in your next round for about an inch or inch 1/2 (whatever you feel is good). I would also recommend getting a pack of "Susan Bates Finishing Needles". I couldn't find them easily at a store so I ordered them online. These have made the process much faster. I waste so much time trying to thread a needle and this takes that away completely.

So row 5 would look like this : start in a corner with 3dc ch3 3dc . 3dcs in each cluster on the side until you reach the next corner (there would be 4 clusters on row 5 ) and continue this all the way round.

      @PlayHookywithMe  Год назад +1

      If you really want to do a shell border , you can make it work … just fudge it a little by skipping a stitch here or there to get the calculations right as you go. I’ve found the best place to do that is before a corner or after. As long as the corners look right, everything else will.
      If you don’t like that idea, here is the border I added to mine:

    Beautiful pattern, but I have a question. You said around 20 minutes in that I should connect the trebles going across to the other square, but what do I do when I’m joining my first two squares?? I don’t have another one on the left side like yours yet to be able to go across. Thanks

    • @PlayHookywithMe
      @PlayHookywithMe  4 года назад +4

      Thank you , Megan. Okay, when you are first starting , you complete the first square completely (not joining to anything). Grab your next “disc” and complete 3 sides. On the third side , only complete the first 3 trebles in the corner and then attach with your slip stitch to the corner of the first completed square . Then create the next 3 trebles on the new disc you’re working on to continue the joining of the 2 squares together. Finish the 4th side with the join as you go technique. You will keep doing this to join the first row of your blanket.,
      If this doesn’t make sense , please write me over on Instagram in direct messages and I’ll send some photos to help . 💕
