Good to know that everyone's granny squares come out with rounded corners and it's not just mine haha. I'm new to crocheting and need to get some blocking mats/pins!
I used to finish the blanket of granny squares then block the whole thing. Trust me it's so much easier to block each square then it's easier to match your stitches to put the blanket together. Thank you for your videos. 😊
I'm working on Granny squares & have several complete. Planning on sewing them together for a nice blanket. I'm also using a closed granny square. So I wanted to learn about blocking. My squares are 9 inches, which I see are a little large, but I'm going to go for it. Your video is very informative. Thanks
I am new to the art of crochet learning all the abbreviations And have made a couple of granny squares. I love the information you gave about how to block them off because mine are definitely rounded corners. Thank you so much.😊
I didn’t know if you should block granny squares and just decided I would. It makes a huge difference in the project if you take the time and just do it. The next time I do, I’ll be stacking them like you did because it does take some time. I enjoyed your 2 min tip and look forward to more.
Hi Brittany! Thank you so much for the video on granny square blocking. I am new to crochet & just found your TH-cam channel! I can’t wait for your new videos! Thank you! 😊
It’s almost summer here, and I’m gearing up for grannies. I’ve been eyeing a blocking board but think I’ll stick with mats. They allow for easier customization with blocking. Great quick video!
this was so helpful! and the tip about batch blocking is a welcome addition over the 2min mark. such a great concept as I really was just looking to solidify my basic knowledge of how to block a granny square. thank you so much!!
New subscriber, thanks for this video it really was helpful. It's good to know my granny squares weren't the only ones coming out with rounded corners.
I was just steam blocking granny squares when your video popped up. 😊 thank you for taking time to share your thoughts and reassuring me that I’m doing a good thing. Keep up the awesome work you do!!
Glad you liked it! I'd say definitely, yes! I always block acrylic, and have great success with it. Even after washing an acrylic blanket I made it still looks great. Same with cotton....I work with it less frequently, but what projects I have blocked with it seemed to be worthwhile!
I hope you answer this question, what weight and kind of yarn do you recommend for the cream colored Grannie squares? I made the black one YEARS ago, probably 50+ years ago and I really don’t remember what I used. I made the beginner navy and cream afghan over the winter and it came out beautifully, I like the yarn and hook you recommended. Hopefully you have an idea for me. Thanks in advance…
There are so many great choices! If I were making a blanket and wanted to use acrylic yarn, I'd probably go with Lion Brand's Pound of Love or Red Heart's With Love, but if I wanted to spend a little extra money to make a wool/blend, I'd definitely go with Patons classic wool worsted. These are some of my personal favorite yarns for blankets!
I crocheted an endless granny square blanket using your method of changing colors. Nothing to weave in since I "weaved in" at the start of a new color. The squares are curled but I don't have a blocker. What should I do to square off the corners?
If we use 100% acrylic would this work? I normally run my project through the washer and dryer and that seems to do the job. I hope lol. I’ve always wanted to use blocking boards though. I am totally addicted to granny squares lol.
I've blocked acrylic granny square blankets with great success! I usually block before joining, and then wash it as a complete blanket. The shape has always held really well for me! A lot of people say that blocked acrylic squares won't hold the blocked shape quite like a wool, but it's still a noticeable enough difference for me :)
New granny square crocheter here....so, for those of you that have done large projects, are you saying that you pin and square them as you crochet them and not at the end before you join them?
I have trouble with colour co ordination. I like my projects to be very natural looking ,not to fussy. Trouble is I can never find inspiration that is not to colourful. Can you help please?
You’re the female version of actor Michael Welch! Started watching the video and got the impression that your face looked so familiar and then it hit me - Twilight movie!😅
Hello! I'm a begginer crocheting and I've been crocheting granny squares lastly, but I don't know why the Round 1, the one that is a kind of cross, looks asimetric and ugly. The pattern that I've learnt is chain 6, slip stich in 1st chain, chain 3, double crochet, double crochet ( chain 3, 2 double crochets) x 3. Does anyone know why? tysm :)

Hi. GREAT tip! I block projects with Animal fiber; is it worth it to block Acrylic/Blend yarns, or even Cotton? THANKS!!!
Glad you liked it! I'd say definitely, yes! I always block acrylic, and have great success with it. Even after washing an acrylic blanket I made it still looks great. Same with cotton....I work with it less frequently, but what projects I have blocked with it seemed to be worthwhile!
Hi , what brand is your blocking mat? Thanks
I just pin mine to the block and steam them. Works awesome!
How long should you leave the squares on the board for? If theres a specific time.
Hello, can I use this tutorial to poliester yarn?

New granny square crocheter here....so, for those of you that have done large projects, are you saying that you pin and square them as you crochet them and not at the end before you join them?
Do they need to be blocked?
I have trouble with colour co ordination. I like my projects to be very natural looking ,not to fussy. Trouble is I can never find inspiration that is not to colourful. Can you help please?
