As a beginner in crochet I was struggling with this and trying to follow some tutorials that I found were confusing. Thank you for your easy to follow tutorial.
Why has this took me 2 years to find.... Ive been struggling following the Hooked by Robin video for months, I got that cheesed off with it I put projects in the cupboard of doom, not to be seen again, I pulled them out after watching this vid, and I am happy to say Ive nailed it.... Im so happy. Thankyou :)
Genius! I was not looking forward to joining my granny square project. Beautifully illustrated 🙌🏼. Thank you for using a light color yarn and a contrasting background. The struggle is real for us visual learners.
I made a beautiful sunflower blanket using your technique. But I started in the lower right side of the blanket and not the top right like you said to do. Since it's been 4 years since I made that blanket, I'm back to your tutorial for a refresher course. I modified Jayda In Stitches 3D flower granny so that I could turn them into a traditional granny to utilize this technique. Thank you for this tutorial, Craig!! ❤
Thank you so much. I've watched a number of different videos showing how to join as you go, and yours is the only one I can understand without confusion.
Thank you for this tutorial! I’ve been watching other videos and reading others suggestions for joining squares and not liking any of them UNTIL I found yours! I’m going to attempt my first granny square blanket using your method. 🙏🤞
Perfect timing!!!!! I’m making a granny square blanket with 12” squares and was wondering what method I could use to connect them all. BINGO! Here it is! Thank you so much!
Thank you for the typewriter joke, it made me laugh out loud! I’ve had a very sad past three weeks and I’m getting close to wishing to throw in the towel and it’s folks like you who can have this special sweetness about them and distract me for awhile from my pain etc and I can almost forget cognitively what my body and brain are feeling. THANK YOU CRAIG💙🌻☀️🌈♥️ I also love your version of joining as I was trying to figure out a way to put my rainbow 🌈 of colours zinnia granny squares together in a large blanket for my husband. So he can have a special thing from me to remember me always (whether he does wish to or not? 😉) Thanks always Craig. 💙🦋💙
Thank you for this video. My crochet guild collects squares which we join into afghans that we donate to the needy. I have always hated joining the squares. This method has changed all that for me. You are a wonderful instructor.
I have never liked granny squares until I saw this. You made me want to make a granny square project. I can see this being an all browns, taupes, creams cardigan /sweater /jacket. Thanks for another great and very useful tutorial.
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the (2) videos! I've been crocheting baby afghans for 50+ years and have tried ALOT of "put togethers" and have never been happy with the outcome. These videos are AWESOME!! Thanks for explaining it step-by-step!!!🥰
I tried this way on connecting granny squares. It took a while to get the rhythm of the pattern. It looks so much nicer than how I connected them in the past Thank you so much.
Love this technique. I’m new to crochet but three blankets done kept thinking there had to be a way to join the squares and do the last row on each square at the same time. And… here we are! Love it. You are a great teacher and I’m onto Part 2 immediately. Thankyou. PS: The typewriter analogy was perfect.
Örülök ennek a videónak! Nagyon hasznos!Egy párnahuzatot horgoltam éppen-igaziból négy daradot-. Pont jókor jött hogy megtaláltam ezt a videót, jó sok négyzet jött össze és várják a csatlakozást. 😃
Love your tutorials! It's part tallent & part personality! I must be one of the very few that consider the other side of the squares the front. I learned from my grandma when I was 18, I'll be 66 in a couple weeks.
Thank you, for explaining this so I don't have to watch it 20x to figure it out. Now, I can put my throw together. I have watched a few and knew I had to come back to your tutorials (should have started with yours), you make it clear and don't rush through the process.
Oh my goodness! I’d given up on ever learning the join as you go. For whatever reason, I just could not grasp it. Then I found this video. Thank you so much!
Hi Spider-Man from So Dakota. Just wanted to say THANKS for your tutorial on joining the granny sqs. I have probably 30 or so of granny squares done from a blanket that i took apart. Wasn't sure what to do with them. Right now I've got a continuous around large granny WIP that I think I'm going to use the loose grannys for a couple of rows. Thanks for an idea that YOU gave me to use up my left over grannys. Ur awesome.
Thank you for posting this video! It was terrific! It has been a few years since I did a large afghan and I forgot how to do the corners! But, I remembered the pattern of how to connect the squares! Your video was concise and done well. Instructions were simple and clear. You spoke in a nice tone and volume. The camera work was great, too. I am retired teacher of 43 years and if you did this video in my class for a grade, you would have gotten 100%! I also liked that you didn't gab on an on about everything and nothing during your instruction. Great job all around.
Thankyou sooo much for these amazing videos, so easy and clear to follow. I normally have so many end to sew in, this method is just brilliant thankyou ❤️❤️
🎉 thank you so much for the video!, Very easy to understand. I'm using this joining method to make 'the world's ugliest sweater™' stash buster for the win!!!🎉
You have so many tutorials on different items I want to make, but I've got to try this one when I finish what I'm trying to make now. I've only been crocheting for one year so I'm having to build up my yarn stash. Love your work you are so talented. I really like it that you make it easier to follow.
I love this method of joining! Thank you so much for sharing and thank you for being thorough. I love your tutorials for sure and for a very long time now. The corners a just short of brilliant. Oh, okay, they are brilliant. I made what I call the "Blooming Flowers Afghan" for a customer and the squares are done in different flowers and colors but with solid squares. So, by skipping over 3 dcs and doing the 3dc cluster in the next all along the square, this technique adds a very pretty effect. This join as you go is a very secure way to join your squares without all the sewing and your are right, it is easy and fun. Again, thank you so much for sharing this. You are the BEST!
Thank you! For weeks I've been searching for a pattern for a rug. This is it right here. I'm going to save this so I can use it later on. Great video 👌.
THANK YOU! I just started crocheting and am having so much fun with it, but looking at how to join was making me anxious. I had seen the CJAYG video and my brain went 'nope' at the diagram. This, and having a map of my own project to work out, made me a lot more confident I can tackle it.
Thank you so much for the easy method of joining granny squares! Your voice is so soothing and you way of explaining this made it so easy for me to understand! I appreciate your time and help! Please keep up the videos! Sending best wishes your way!🥰❤️👍💐😊
I’m making a granny square blanket for my granddaughter as we speak I love this technique I can’t wait to try it thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day ! I subscribed to your channel I really love your crochet techniques. Happy crocheting 🧶 Sue
Thank you for this video. I used the original tutorial from Hooked by Robin to join some granny squares a while ago and I didn't particularly like the look of the corner joins (they were a little flimsy and floppy) but the route change and the tighter corner in this tutorial really does work. Even when crocheting the bottom of my first row I can see the difference! I'll definitely be using this way from now on.
I’ve asked her why she mispronounced the word, but she never responded. I’ve beeb crocheting since 1965 and have never heard it pronounced like that. And I grew up in the UP Michigan and never heard it pronounced that way.
Thank you for this video. I was looking for a way to put my grannys together in an easier way. I love the look and it goes fast plus I like that they are not flip flopping. I love your patience in teaching. Happy New Year 2021.
i have avoided ranny squares for such a long time...just because of the joning...love, love love, this thanks again...
I'm glad I found this tutorial. Going to do it tonight.
I used this for two blankets. Then I did a braided join with this same method. Genius. Hope you read this.
As a beginner in crochet I was struggling with this and trying to follow some tutorials that I found were confusing. Thank you for your easy to follow tutorial.
This technique for joining granny squares is pure delight! Thank you!
Why has this took me 2 years to find....

THANK YOU! I just started crocheting and am having so much fun with it, but looking at how to join was making me anxious. I had seen the CJAYG video and my brain went 'nope' at the diagram. This, and having a map of my own project to work out, made me a lot more confident I can tackle it.

Hi Debbi! (Sorry stroke brain can never know how to spell your name so sorry!)💜♥️💗🌈🦋☀️💕🌻

This is awesome...you make it look so simple... hug's Lynn Weasenforth 💯💜💛💙🌹
Hooray for a new project:) love your videos fiber spider!
Uh, Fiber, she means crochet ‘er’. 😂 Thanks for the tutorial, great way to join.
I’ve asked her why she mispronounced the word, but she never responded. I’ve beeb crocheting since 1965 and have never heard it pronounced like that. And I grew up in the UP Michigan and never heard it pronounced that way.
She definitely says crotcheter...must be a Canadian thing as I say I'm busy crotcheting ALL the time..it's funny😂
I'm from Ohio, and my family has called it crotcheting for as long as I remember! 🤣
Thank you magic Spider 😍😘😘😘
Absolutely love this!!!
Thank you for sharing this. 🤗
Thank you for this video. I was looking for a way to put my grannys together in an easier way. I love the look and it goes fast plus I like that they are not flip flopping. I love your patience in teaching. Happy New Year 2021.

Very lovely. Thank you!
