Thanks for this! I'm making a little wallet-like mini purse out of two of these for my mother's birthday because dhe loves them to organise her purse as a fun little surprise and I'm sure she'll love it. As a beginer, you were so easy to follow and it's such a fun little project. You are an amazing teacher♡
Thank you for this! Of course, I did have to start over once because my yarn got all tangled up at the very beginning, haha. But with the second try, it was quick and easy! This is a really fun and unique granny square, especially with the three colors.
I love how good you’re at explaining. Was super easy to make. Now I need to survive a mental math for turning a big spiral into a square… Maybe you have a formula?
@@ThimbleHooks Just busy with life...gardening, yard work, canning, all the things.. All is well. Not enough time to watch all my TH-cam buddies. Trying to find time to start crocheting again. Things should start to slow down a bit. But, looking into the next 5-6 weeks, still busy with company on weekends, hunting starts and then Thanksgiving. Need more hours in the day or another me! LOL Take care.
Thank you so much I have made a two colour spiral but not three bit the bullet and whoohoo I am now doing my 6th spiral square. You made it so easy for me to follow a big thank you from Australia to you
Okay after many a false start and thinking I was finished at 2 DC I finally got it right am now half way through making a blanket that is quirky enough for my beautiful daughter took me years to find the right pattern for her but this is perfect thank you and even adding in my "mistake"ones because that's what makes it special
what pattern should i use for the square part if i have a much biger spiral? should i do more single crochets insteadof just 4, and then do the same amount of dc and hc than you did? or should i increase the dc and hc too? thanks
Hi Sol! Turning it into a square was just kind of a bonus on this video. I am still working out the math for what you are asking and will publish that video at some point when it is ready and hits the top of my list. So many WIPS!! 😃 Beth
Hi Sol - I was wondering the same thing and I have a half answer for you. Each corner sequence of 3 hdc, 2 dc, corner stitch, 2 dc, 3 hdc is 11 stitches. So you multiply that x4 and you'll have 44 total stitches for the corner sequences. Count all of your stitches, subtract 44, then divide the remaining stitches by 4 and that's how many single crochets will go between each corner sequence. I hope that makes sense out loud like it does in my head. Hope that helps!
I guess if your spiral is much much bigger, it may need more hdc and dc stitches to level out the corners but hopefully my rough math equation will be of some assistance. I only did mine 2 rounds bigger that Beth's and it worked out just fine for me. Good luck 😊
Hello! I kind of figured out a math for the square for bigger/smaller circles : Count the total amount of stitches on your final round for one color, I did 6 rows so I've got 24. 24×3 (for each color) = 72 which is the total amount of stitches. 72 - 4 (each of the corner stitches) = 68 ÷ 4 (each sides of the square) = 17. It means that 17 is the total amount of stitches between each corner of my square, so I'll adjust the amount of dc, hdc and sc so that it'll make 17 (3 dc, 3 hdc, 5 sc, 3 hdc, 3 dc) I truly hope it makes sense but that's what I did
How would you finish it off using each color to make the sides? Of course you would have to do 1 color for 2 sides. But how do you do it for the other colors?
I'm going to use this for a temperature blanket! High/Low/Weather. This made it super easy to understand!

You are so welcome! Now you are an expert! Bethany
I love how good you’re at explaining.

I underestimated how sad I would be when I lost my stitches 😭. However I was able to get everything on track, Thank you ☺️ 💗🌻
Thank for the detailed tutorial, it’s really fast and easy to learn. My very first granny square.
You are so welcome! I am sure you have many more GCs in your future Verona! Bethany
I’m gonna attempt this on my road trip tomorrow. The beginning does look tricky. Praying I don’t lose my mind 😝
incredible and so easy to follow! You are my new fav crochet youtuber!!
Wow, thank you! You made my day! Bethany
I do like the 3 color spiral Beth. I'll be watching for the 4 color. Take care and TFS.
Hi Wanda! I hope all is well - you have been kind of quiet lately...😊

That made my day Frances! Don't miss seeking out my 4 (YES 4!) color spiral!

I’d like to make mine smaller… when should I “square it off”?
what pattern should i use for the square part if i have a much biger spiral? should i do more single crochets insteadof just 4, and then do the same amount of dc and hc than you did? or should i increase the dc and hc too? thanks

What size yarn did you use? I’m currently using a weight 4 yarn with a 5mm corrected hook and it seems to be curling a bit
Hi Amara - I never use a 5mm for anything. For this project I use a 4mm - hopefully that will help as it shouldn't curl at all. Bethany
Cute
Thanks Karen!
Do you have a written pattern?
Can you use any of the 3 colors as the border?
Absolutely Steph! Finish it off with the color you want. Bethany
What is the length of the square pls?
Approximately 5 inches (13 cm) the way I did it here, but that will change depending upon the yarn, hook and tension that you use. Bethany
Too fast.
You can slow it down Anna
