🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have a left handed version of this video? If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on TH-cam yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ 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.hookedbyrobin.com 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.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet...

Looking for more joining techniques? How about the Join AS YOU GO Method! th-cam.com/video/cxcJW0hgp3g/w-d-xo.html 👈😃
I like to sc the square together or join as you go. I don't like to stitch the square together. Iam going to tackle the braid metod
Sincere thanks for your wonderful joining methods ,am passing it on to 24 friends,you're a super teacher
Oh my goodness I’ve been looking for an easy way to join granny squares. You are the BEST. Thank you. 30,January 2023.
Thank you so much Jean, I’m pleased it helps.😃🧶
Im not at a point in my blanket yet to join the squares, but i find your tutorials incredibly relaxing, so I'm watching just because lol
Awwh Ivy, that has made my day! Thank you.🤗
You’re the only channel that’s shown how to do the corner join for 4 squares!! Thank you 😊
I’m so pleased it helps Melanie.😃🧶
The chain one over the join, wow. No wonder mine had never looked right for all these years. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You’re so welcome Diana! 😃🧶
Robin, thanks so much for this video!!! I hate having to sew blocks together!!! Yaaaay!! No needle!! Love these ways of joining! You rock that crochet hook!!! Take care!! 💕🤗💕
😅 that's the kind of response I was hoping for! 🪡🚫😂
All are just lovey, no matter which you choose to do. Robin I really enjoy watching your work. You go slow enough to understand. And your techniques are easy to follow. When I forget a crochet stitch I come to "Hooked by Robin" because I know I will find, & understand it better.👍 Thanks so much.💗
That is so lovely to read, thank you so much Sheilia! 🥰🤗
I started crochet just for fun but what can I say? Now I’m Hooked......
🧶
such a sweet person to help me, i am finding that yarny ppl really do stick together and also help the noobs like me out :) god bless you for taking the time for this
Team crochet! 😃🧶 I am glad it helps Ruth.x
I love the first method , for me it gives more definition to my blankets. On another topic I was when younger told that I was crocheting wrong and that if I wanted my projects to be called "crochet" I had to change the way I crocheted to the "right way". Thanks to you I crochet the way its most comfortable to me, I hold my work and wool in my right hand and also the rest of my work in my left hand for balance. I know it's more like knitting but it works for me and thanks to you stating there is no right or wrong way I can enjoy my hobby again. xxxx
It's as if you can read my mind. I just started stash bashing by making up granny squares & I too hate sewing them together. Thank you for always being such a great resource!
I wish I could read minds Zara.😅 You’re very welcome.x
Agreed! The third method looks like it is easiest for me and I like the finished look. Thank you for helping us join granny squares!
I definitely prefer the third too 😃🧶
Hello Robin I watch all your vids on TH-cam. I learnt to crochet during first lockdown thanks to you ❤ I've made so many of your blankets and three scarfs 😁 thanks Robin.
Aw thank you so much! I'm so glad my videos helped! Xx
I have always joined my squares together with sewing: lots and lots of sewing. I knew they could be joined with crochet, but I was never sure exactly what I was doing. Of the 3 methods you showed (all of which are lovely) i think i prefer the third one - slip stitching from the back. Thank you for sharing.
Don't get me wrong, sewing definitely has it's place and is awesome when you use the tails of the squares themselves but ughhh I'm just too lazy 😂 If I can avoid it, I absolutely will LOL x
oh you must have read my mind!!! just yesterday i was trying to think of a maybe new way for how i wanted to join my squares together for a blanket. such perfect timing!! thank you!!
It's fate Cheyenne! 😅🧶
I'm with you Blue..I love the last method! Finally I can overcome my fear of joining my Squares! I have at least 3 afghans to finish! Thanks Blue! You're the best!!!!
Awwh, I’m just so glad it helps! 😃🥰
I’ve been crocheting for about 50 years, and always used the last method. I think it looks the nicest ! 😊
The last one is a favourite with lots of people Sandy.😃🧶
I can’t thank you enough! You are the only video with a detailed explanation on joining vertical and horizontal. I loved the 3rd method, I was struggling so much and your video helped me find a method that works me. ❤️
You’re very welcome, I’m glad it helped!😃🤗
@@HookedbyRobin looks so pretty except for the corners. They look messy. I am doing the third method. Im going straight including the the 2 chains from the corners. Then when going vertical, I try doing the same plus chaining 1, but it looks really messy. Can you help me figure it out. ❤️
Thank you Robin. I rescued a project from a thrift store that contained 32 completed 4 inch Granny squares and 6 matching 8 inch squares. Now I will know how to finish the project.
Ahhh fantastic Kelly!😃 How did it go?
I've been catching both loops for years, but that's been for pouches I made. Thanks for showing the extra ways to join motifs.
You’re welcome Connie! 🤗🥰
I am so glad I found your channel. You have taught me HOW TO CROCHET😊 I have struggled for years. I am making a coccoon granny square cardi. Using your squares video and now the joining together one. Robin you are a fabby teacher🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awwh, this was the loveliest to read.🥰 Thank you! How is your granny square cardigan going?
I think my favorite is the slip stitch on the front. I love the way it looks with your post granny square.
Great choice Jeanne.😃🧶
I like them all but my absolute favorite is the green ribbed type join. That would look so cute on a blanket! Thank you my British friend!! 🥰
It would look super cute! 😃 Are you making a blanket at the moment Sheryl?x
@@HookedbyRobin I got so many WIPS going at the moment, my head is spinning lol. I do want to make a granny blanket but am going to use a bunch of odd colors that won't match so I thought that the raised join would be cool. Stay warm..brrr!
The third! I need to put together stripes of squares of different colors. Thank you! ❤
You’re very welcome Carolyn!🧶
Thank you sharing your technique. Very well explained and with patience.
You are so welcome Gloria!😃🧶
I like the looks of the last example. Slip stitching on the back looks good and is easier to hold the squares as you work across. Thanks so much for another great tutorial. Much appreciated.
Very true Kathie, whatever is easiest is the best - there is definitely no right or wrong in crochet.😃🧶
@@HookedbyRobin I have a question, I am working on a pdf pattern I purchased on etsy that calls for 3 different hook sizes, it is an older pattern, the blocks use an I hook, the border an h hook and joining calls for an f hook. I am worried that it will warp my blocks, because it calls for a zig zag slip stitch
@ashortyb411 I'm not Robin, and wonder if you finished in the time between then and now, but I've found that most often when it calls out a smaller hook, they want tougher stitches. You don't have to use the f, I personally would use the h hook and just watch my tension. Oh, and you will need 3X the length of your seam for the yarn.
I think it would depend on the design you're trying to accomplish. I love your join as you go method. I've used it to make 7 blankets so far.
Join as you go will always be my preferred method if I can make it work for a pattern! 😃🧶
I was just about to see the different ways I can join mine! Thank you Robin!
Perfect timing Samantha! I hope it helps you.😃🧶
fantastic work & thank you. I like 1st & 3rd joining stiches
Thanks Robin, I definitely prefer the last method, much less intrusive. Thank you as always x
It definitely is! 😃🧶 Thank you for watching Joanne.x
I LOVE THE LAST ONE TOO.. THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US. 👌💗🌹
Thank you Sharon! 🥰
You won't believe this I was thinking of when someone is going to share this video. As you are my favorite you tuber I always check on your channel first. You make things easy to understand. 💖💖 Hopefully now I can join my squares 😊 loads of love ❤️
It was meant to be Richa! 😃 I’m sure you can join your squares now.x
The slip stitch on the back has always been the easiest for me as well, but I always just winged it before. Thank you for helping me polish it up!
You're so welcome!🥰🧶
Thank you so much! This is incredibly helpful. You are my absolute favorite TH-cam crochet teacher! These videos were exactly what I needed!
Awh, thank you Amy! 😃🧶
😊Thanks once again Robin for showing 3 methods for joinning the granny squares. My preferred one is the 3rd one although i might try all three methods. Thanks for all your helpful tutorials i have got my friends alsto try your channel and they think you are what we have needed for a long time. Thanks for all your help. Best wishes.❤
That is so lovely to read Diane, thank you so much!🥰

That is so lovely to read, thank you so much. I’m glad they help!😃🧶
Beautiful way to show the joining squares neatly 😍😍, obviously the last one slip stich from the back is my favorite too ❤❤❤
I am glad it helps and great choice!😀🧶
Having just finished a blanket where I sewed each granny square I said never again, but all the lovely comments made it worth while when it was finished - ha! I'll be using your tips in this video for the next blanket though ;)
Yay!😃🧶
Thank you so much for always showing slowly and enough content to actually Learn well. Your channel is much appreciated.
Thank you so much! That is so kind.🥰
Hi Hooked by Robin I will have to try them all 3 I have not try them before. So have a good day.
Good idea Kathy, then you will know which one you like best. Thank you, have a lovely day too! 🤗
Very easy explained I would love to small squares for a change and of all the videos I've watched this is the easiest for my brain anyway. Thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
My favorite way is the last one. I do often use the first one on baby blankets because I like the ridge. Thanks for the video. 😊
They are perfect for baby blankets! Thank you Michelle.🥰🤗
Thank you, such a great tutorial!!!! This will help me with my shawl grannie square.
Yay! I am happy it helps Alicia and I hope you enjoy making your grannie squares.😃🧶
I truly love watching your videos you have helped me so much thank you!
Awwh, thank you Stephanie - that makes me happy! 😃
I like the 3rd way. I will be using this method for my afghan, thank you.
Third is a firm favourite with lots of people!😃
Love your tutorials. Have 3 books, but learned to make a granny square from you. Thank you Robin!
You’re so welcome Jolene!🤗
Robin on your 1st method with sc the ridge was always on the wrong side that is what i was taught 40 years ago. Love the 3 methods i slways got confused on the corners. Your way is so simple i have 50 some squares that have needed to put together for about 5 years i do think i can do it your way. 🎉 Thanks for sharing with us Robin
😅
Hello! First I have to say I love your tutorials!! Your explanations and showing are perfect for me. I feel even on the harder ones I'd be successful as a novice because of how well you explain things.
As for your actual question, I do like all three, each one I was like oh I like that, then the second was og, I like that more, and so on. Someone else said that it would depend on the overall look you were going for and I agree wholeheartedly with that comment. But, the third on was my favorite.
Thank you so much Emmy, that is so kind of you. I am so pleased you like my videos.🥰
Yes definitely! Each one lends itself well to different projects.x
you have taken great effort to show the various methods of sewing the edges . thank you very much as i have learnt alot from this tutorial .

I’m glad it helps Carol!😃🧶
I like the last. Seems simple for my first granny square blanket! Thank you!

Most definitely the 3rd method. Thank you for this great tutorial.
3rd is a clear favourite!😃 You’re welcome Karen.
You are my hero!!! Stay Groovy!!
Thank you so much Dawn! 🤗

Hello, Robin! At 74 years old, u’v turned me on to crocheting! Ur videos are not only instructional, they are the perfect way for u to transmit ur electrical, lovely and funny personality. As a retired teacher, i can tell u that ur teaching method deserves an A+!! And u r funny!! I watch ur videos even when i know i can’t do them ! Oh, well. And off the topic, will u crochet a Xmas tree to go with the little star? Looking forward to future videos(especially the tree.)
Hi Bethzaida, thank you for your kind words - they made my day! 😃 No Christmas tree video this year I am afraid but I do have a festive crochet video coming up at the end of the month, so watch this space.🥰
I Prefferd the last one beautiful thanks !
You’re welcome Rosa!😃🧶
Yassss!!! Ty so much for the video!! I totally loath using the stupid needle. This is so much easier 😍
I’m so glad it helps Jennifer!😃🧶
Très très bien expliqué !
Merci à vous !
Happy crochet!
Merci Silvia!😃🥰
Your tutorials are awesome, thank you for sharing
Thank you so much Christine!😃
Thank You for this video, the joining method I liked best. Is the third option, mostly because it's invisible. From the top side and fairly invisible from this back. And easier because of how the squares are held, and the yarn to the out side of the squares.
Great tips, thank you so much!!!😍😍😍
I’m glad they help Diana!😃
Loved this thank you 🙏🏻 x
Thank you Sharon! 😃
Thanks again for another wonderful tutorial. I have 2 blankets with squares to finish, I'll use the single crochet part
I am so happy it will help you Lucy! 😃🧶
I like the second one 😊 thanks for sharing
You’re welcome Myrna!😃🧶
Brilliant video, thank you very much. Can't make my mind up which one I'll use on my next blanket, 1 or 3.
Thank you so much Sharon, 3 seems to be a firm favourite with everyone.😃🧶
Thank you for such a clear explanation 🙂
You’re so welcome Jane!🧶
