Great tips thanks never too old to learn I’m 78:and crocheting since 12 yrs of age.😊😊
Omg! I love you so so much just by your comment you remind me of my great grand mother she died with a healthy life 😢😢😢❤❤❤
That is insane! Im 11 right now and my mother taught me to crochet when i was 8, but im more actively crocheting since i was 10!
I’m 71 yrs and taught by my grandma at the same age. 😂
Complimenti
12 and just started to crochet🤭
Thank you so much, I am a 11 year old who just started crocheting last year, took a 5 month break, but recently started getting back into it. I’ve tried another granny square tutorial but the middle would come out uneven, this tutorial gave me one of the most flattest, and perfect granny square I’ve made in my life. Thank you so much ! 🫶
Slip stitching into the corner space rather than the starting chain has absolutely blown my mind 😲 Thanks for sharing!
You are a GENIUS woman!
Where have you been all my yarning life?!
I wanna take a minute to thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ I've wasted so much time trying to perfect my Granny squares, and no matter what videos I've watched, or channels I've followed have helped much.
THIS IS AMAZING INFORMATION and I'm so glad I found you.
You mention, in one of your videos, the video took you forever to edit and get it just right. I'd like to thank you so very much for the time and effort you put into this, for those of us out here struggling w some string! 😊❤
I I rirri I rda
I think this is the best tutorial I've come across as a begginer with granny squares, I wanted to fix an old bed cover for a while and the pattern is the same!
I found this video a little hard to understand as I am a beginner crocheter. I understand the terninology but the hook was moving too quicky for me to understand what was happening. I'm sure this would be good for an intermediate crocheter!
The speed you’re doing it at is too fast for me and not close up enough to see clearly what you’re doing
You can change the playback speed by pressing the little gear button, to slow down the video 😁
And for the far away problem, you can zoom in :D
You can’t ZOOM in on a tv screen!
@@Lin_Daniel yeah, depends on what ya watching. I do recommend watching on a zoom-in-able
I am a "hoker"😂 and TH-camr- in Spanish- looking for a granny square, I choose yours because it is very short. I am amazed by the way you explained every single detail. Thank you. I would definitely recommend you on my channel. I'm making matching tops for my daughter and granddaughter with this beautiful granny. Thank you. Sending you love and light ❤️
I've been making granny squares for a few years but was looking for an easy tutorial for my 12 year old daughter. In the end, my granny squares look much neater. Learning about using a smaller hook really made a big difference. Thanks for the great tutorial!

Round 1:
Slip knot

Slst to end
I have been learning the granny square for about a month now and with this tutorial I finally created a clean and uniform square! Thanks so much for the tips in this video. I am a beginner still but with this tips I got a boost to continue crocheting! ❤
Yes!! That’s so great! I’m so glad this video was exactly what you needed for a granny square boost 💙 Thank you so much for the support!
I just made my first granny square and it looks so good! Thank you!!!
Love love love how clear your instructions are, how details matter & how you go step by step. Thank you ❤
when crocheting granny squares with different colours for each round, i like to weave in the tails while i go so i don’t need to at the end. This tip saved me so much time so if you hate weaving in ends, it’s a good idea to work the tail in while crocheting around the square. Hope this helps 🩷.
Do you have any links or tutorials for that? Does that mean we just weave it and no ties or knots are needed?
This is exactly what I do so all I have to do at the end is snip the extra yarn. No weaving.
i finally learned how to crochet q granny square after 3 years of crocheting even if mine looks pretty wonky❤
This video changed everything for me! I’ve struggled with granny squares before viewing your tips. Now I’m crocheting a pile of beautiful squares that all look the same, no wonky looking squares. Thank you for sharing these tips.
WHERE IS THE MIDDLE OF THE CIRCLE???😭😭😭
Heyy! I ran into the same problem as you, so I made 4 chains instead of 3 to make the ring, and the ring was pretty easy to locate! It doesn’t alter the pattern in any way too :)
@@vivibibi4287 thank youu🤍
If you want visual help the chain is technically a rope right now so if you loop a rope there is a hole in the middle just hard to find cause it's chain
Before you slip stitch, put a stitch marker on the line that you have formed (not in a specific chain) then slip stitch and the middle of the circle will be where the stitch marker is.
Ty so much I can GRANNY SQUARE tried for months now got hope
wow!! thank you so much, im an 11 year old girl who loves to crochet, but my granny squares always end up looking uneven or lopsided. the ‘slip stitching in the chain space’ tip helped so much! this video was so informative, i subscribed and saved this video to all my playlists!
I'm 11 and learning to crochet, this was a really helpful tutorial!
THANK YOU, you are the 3rd tutorial I followed, as each of the previous tutorials resulted in frogging before I got to round 4 as I was NOT happy with how it was looking (heh, perfectionist? queen of frogging?). The tips you shared really make a difference! You have a new, happy subscriber 😆😆😆
The tips about the basic foundation & how much they increase each round, and _especially_ how to correct the "lean" are game changers! Thanks so much!!
It'd be great though if you could dial back the muzak & keyboard typing sound effects - they recreate the unpleasant feeling of being hold with a utility company lol. I know most people can tune out the background, but many of us can't , and it makes it much harder to focus & learn!
So glad I found this. I haven't done granny squares in forever so I needed a refresher. Best looking one I think I've ever made. I'm crocheting over the ends as I go so no weaving!
THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL I HAVE EVER SEEN THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!🤩🤩
Wow, thanks! 💙
I aways smile with excitement to learn more about crocheting when I am notified of your newest VLOG!!! Many Thanks!!
That makes my day 😄 So happy to be able to share a little inspiration 💙
Hi I’m a 13 year old girl that has been crocheting since 8
Thanks for the tutorial
I LOVE LOVE the chain 4 at the beginning!! Thank you!
i’m not a beginner when it comes to crochet but somehow I always forget about the patter for granny squares but this one is ultimately the best one.
OMG I tried to learn Granny squares from a Magic Cabin booklet when I was like 10 and I could not figure it out. I tried so many times over many years. Eventually I gave up, even though I have made amigurumi and many other projects. Now you have taught me in under 10 minutes. Thank you!
I watched so many videos an frustrated to all heck trying for about 4 to 5 months and now I can granny square to my heart o twnt 🎉Thanks!
That’s awesome!! 🙌 Thank you so much for the support!
Outstanding! Learned to crochet some 70 years ago to stay out of my grandmother’s hair. You just shared the greatest secret to grannies! Thank you so much🙏🏻
I am so glad I found your channel. For over 50 years I have knitted and/or crochet . I love the look of granny squares but I have always really disliked doing them. Everything about the process would frustrate me. After watching this video and a couple others or yours, I am eager to tackle the once dreaded granny square. Thank you so much for sharing.
Excellent tutorial, as always! Nothing like a good, basic granny; and especially made better with these updated techniques. So happy to see them making such a big comeback. 💗
Such a wonderful and easy to understand tutorial! I've made lots of granny squares in the past, but none with such great tips as the ones you've taken time to research and provide to others!
Thank you!
Mind blown here! I saved and tried it out immediately 🎉Thanks. I tried going in the same color as well and it still worked, turning after the ch 4 👏🏼
This is the best tutorial I have ever watched for teaching how to do a granny square. Thank you 💗
I just started learning to crotchet in my old age yesterday. I 😂wasn’t really getting the hang of it and all my tries were twisted and lopsided… and then I found this video and I just completed a near perfect granny square!! Thank yewwwww!!!🎉
The tutorial was really good, it helpful and informative for me as a beginner and I love my granny square! It’s super cute and nice I used white purple and black and it turned out beautiful!! Tysm so muchhh it was really fun to make and easy
This has to be the best crochet tutorial i’ve ever watched
This is great basic knowledge of the granny square. Very clear and logically presented. Thank you.
Thank you soo much for this tutorial! I’ve never been very happy with my granny squares; I always thought they looked kinda wonky. Now that I’m using your method, they look pretty much perfect! 😁

Thank god for you
Greatest tutorial!! Thank you so much, my squares actually turned out! You’re a natural teacher.
Thank you . I have been making granny squares for over a month now and now I am making perfect squares .
I truly enjoyed this tutorial. Simple and to the point. This has made me a forever fan❤
So you were one of the first video tutorial makers I learned to crochet with several years ago. Can I just say, your video editing quality is so much improved! Though I still get made fun of by my teen and 20 something kids and my brother that dad has a "crochet bag"! 😆😆
Actually think you should record closer and do it a bit slower. I got so lost 😢
If you go to the settings on the video you can slow down the playback. No matter how fast the creator records☺️! I find it very useful, specially on intricate patterns. ❤
Hi Brittany. Great tutorial! The only thing I sometimes do different depending on the style of square I’m doing is flipping the square after every round. It makes a big difference for me. I see you covered this technique in your article! Great read! Thanks for sharing. Wishing you a wonderful 4th of July!❤
Hey I love how you give the instructions, it's very clear. Also, I've been following some granny square pattern guide and I think your pattern is the easiest and ✨PERFECT✨ Now I have tidy and tight granny yet it makes perfect square shape even without blocking technique
I love granny squares. I just don't like changing yarn that much. These are really pretty.
I don't like changing yarn either. I am using variegated yarn on my squares, so no changing colors. And it looks great.
thank you , ive been trying for months to do a good granny square , this was so helpful
This is one of the very best videos I’ve watched in a long time!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much!! That makes me so happy to hear 😄💙
This was fantastic! I had no idea that following certain tips could lead to a consistent result each time, this has made making granny squares feel a lot less demoralizing hahaha thank you!
I just used these instructions to make my first ever granny square and they worked well for me. Thanks for uploading!
thank you for making the best tutorial possible! so easy to follow and understand, hope you are always well. thank you for sharing!
The best instructions on granny squares❤ thank you 🙏🏻
Love how this turned out. Think I could get the hang of it, but first I need to re-learn the basics. 🤣
Brittany my goodness !! I watch your videos all the time. But it's been a minute. Thanks SO much for this ! It has been a game changer for me. My corner joins were always sort of sloppy. Thanks so much !!
What fabulous tips, thanks for sharing, learning something new everyday 😅been crocheting for almost 60years I still think there is so much more to learn, love you 🙌🙌❤️🙏🏻
Thanks a lot for the really useful tips ❤
I followed different videos but when I tried crocheting with your tips my squares came out really beautiful
Best granny tutorial! Making granny squares while watching. Thank you!!
Wow, I've been crocheting for a long time but needed a brush up on granny squares. This is THE BEST tutorial. And you have a lovely voice too!
Thank you ..Great tips ..I applied the hook size tip, the ch 4 tip ..Also starting in a new corner ..work looks much better 😃
Thank you ..keep it up
This was probably the best granny square video I’ve seen yet the tips were also very helpful 😊
Genius! Thank you so much! My squares look so much better now. 😊 Excellent explanation and narration; and thank you for including written directions. (They may need to be edited tho; the written pattern says chain 5 at the start of each row nstead of 4. )😊
I love granny squares! Thank you for the tips!❤🧶
You have such gift of voice! You would be very successful recording audio books!
Thanks for the video! I was doing it with you and now it's exactly like the one in the video. Love ya!! Have a nice day!
Glad I could help!
Weaving in tails can be a major pain, especially if you are changing colors in every round, and have a LOT of granny squares in your project, so here are two more tips to help. 1- Crocheting over your yarn tails, so you don't have to weave them in later. This helps in two different ways. You crochet them in over a longer area, so that your Granny Square doesn't get bulky or stiff in certain areas. Also, again, nothing can be more daunting than having 60 or more squares, all with at least 4 or 5 tails to weave in, before you start putting them together.
2- STITCH MARKERS ARE YOUR FRIEND!!! Each time you start a new round, simply add a stitch marker to that corner, ESPECIALLY if you crochet over your tails. That way, you when you put the granny square down to pick up the new yarn, you KNOW which corner you started with on the previous round, and just start in the next corner, moving your stitch marker once the corner is made. Which goes back into the tip for preventing the granny lean.
And stitch markers can be ANYTHING. A scrap of yarn that's different from the colors you are using, a safety pin, a chip clip, a lobster claw clasp, or you can spend a few dollars and purchase stitch markers - either the simple plastic ones that come in a pack, or cute specialty ones that people make to sell.
this was so helpful! thank you so much! I started crocheting around a year ago and your video has been the most helpful one, again thank you so much.
Great info Brittany. Details are always welcome in a tutorial! Thank you! One question, when you eliminate the extra chain between sections, do you find it "stretches" your connecting stitch and it isn't as smooth, or is it just me? This would apply anytime you have to jump a long way between stitches. Thanks.😊
Thank you so so much for the making of this video 📹. It was very very helpful in make a "perfect" square for that is! Thanks so much.
i made some perfect granny squares i am going to make a blanket with them thank you very much!❤❤
Loved it. I had a problem at first but in the end it came out beautifully thank you so much.
Please tell me why I’ve been crocheting all these years and have never made a more perfect granny square from watching this video! ❤
Personally I didn’t really understand this video but all of the tips were very helpful! 😊
not doing the single chains in between the clusters on the sides makes my square incredibly bowl-shaped, but i absolutely love the 4chain sl st into chain space method!
thank you so much for the tips now i cant stop making granny square! 😂
Is this a good project for a beginner who has never finished a project yet because my minds blow how great they look but not sure if Ill struggle 💕
This was so helpful thank you!! Really great editing too!
In the video, it’s ch 4 for every new row but the website says ch 5. What’s the difference?
Well explained and great tips but what to do with the yarn left when you change colour??? Thanks
These are such great tips for granny squares. 🙌 I’ve never done this concept but will definitely start doing them this way going forward.
Your projects are always perfect and beautiful!
I enjoy all your videos & learn something new each time…..very much appreciated hon! 🙌🧶💜
Hope you have a Happy & Safe July 4th. 🇺🇸🧶😊🇺🇸
wow best video ever
I just found you and have been looking for a great granny square.
Thanks for a great video! Very well done and easy to follow.
Would love to know what you do if not changing colour? Do you keep going around or cut and swap sides?
Thsnk you for your videos 😊
Angela
I prefer to use stacked single crochets instead of the chain 4 at the beginning of the round.
I can see the improvements in your video quality since my last comment, good job!
Great tutorial, and nice content here and on your blog👍. Just wondering…your blog instructions say to start every row with a chain 5. Is there a difference between the beginning round starting off with a chain 4 as demonstrated here as a chain 5 on the blog? .🤔. I am diving into the granny squares and just curious.
Thank you so much. Got it right first time. ❤
The best video I've watched. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much, my square's are perfect!
😁Thank you so much! This helped me A LOT!😁
Great tutorial and I love the tips. Suggestion please. Could the camera be closer?. I find it so helpful when I can clearly see what's being done. Really enjoy your tutorials. Thank you.
idk why but my granny square became a circle, but it was the nicest circle i’ve done so thank you lmao
Merci beaucoup pour les trucs c'est tellement apprécié!!!👌❤
What should I do to avoid granny lean if I’m NOT planning on switching colors every round? Love your video!
hello! great video so far, im on my second color! im wondering how i get my 2 end DC to not make 1/4 of each round look big and wonky? yours look disguised somehow.
In your written instructions, you note to chain 5. Is it 4 or 5 chains??
