I can't believe that I learned how to do this beautiful join! You are a wonderful teacher. I am so excited to be able to join all these pretty squares that I worked up over the last few months. Thank you very much!
Thanks! I hated joining grannies or any motif (& forget about mile a minutes) because all I knew was slip stitching the pieces together. Your technique is much more elegant. I signed up for your newsletter, too! 😁
I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I was making a couch cover using Mile-a-Minute strips but that pattern called for a join that left a very distinct ridge which I didn't like. So I had all these strips and no way to connect them until I found your video. I used your instructions and connected the strips together and it is beautiful. It is flat which is exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much. You have a lot of great videos.
Very nicely explained, need to know what video shows how to do the granny square for beginners if you have one or suggest one? Thank you very much for taking your time explaining each area of the squares.
Thanks for your simple lesson. I searched through numerous sites before I found the one that was right for me. I have since subscribed and will make yours my go to tutorials.
Thanks for your videos, you do such an awesome job that I am able to overcome one of my biggest obstacles (translating the stich from right handed to left handed) watching you videos.
First video I saw was your left handed granny square, so happy I had found a left handed person to follow. 🥺 this one is s hard for me to follow. Hopefully I can find someone who is always left handed. I do love your videos though.
This was SO helpful! I'm "reteaching" myself to crochet after years and years so made a bunch of granny squares to practice on. So many of the printed instructions aren't clear (or use the same color yard to join as the squares :( ), and too many of the videos aren't very clear. This one was great.
Oh, this is working wonderfully now, thanks to understanding it through this video. Now, any suggestions on an edging, a border that would work well on the perimeter edges? I'm making a long vest. Thanks, Bella Coco or any reader.
This stitch is beautiful et thank you for explaining it very well. The only issue I had was I think a different color yarn for the joining stitch would've been easier to see. Watching white yarn on a white background was a little difficult but otherwise I love it. Thank you!
I would like to tell you that your the best person that i can learn from & understand your tutorials. Thank you .. but i was searching for a new joining squares method that I can't find a good video for it, nor in you lovely channel. It's called " Joining with slip stitch " i guess it's the same as normal joining method, but using a crochet hook & joining in the back loop on the edges of the squares , so it becomes very neat & invisible. I would ask you if you know this method, would you please create a tutorial to demonstrate it ? Thank you in advance dear :)
Hi Bella , I wanted to make a new blanket with the Granny Log Cabin, but i can't find any useful \ clear tutorials on YT, so can you please make a tutorial about it ? you're the best one I learn for her tutorials. Thanks in advance dear :)
@@onebook4837 obviously you didn't read the previous comments. She is using UK terms!! Try reading them, or listen to the video where she explains that a DC in the UK = a SC in the U.S.A
Bella could you help me please,I’ve just done the willow pattern squares you showed on your tutorial,I double crochet all around the squares as it showed,how can I do the flat braid as I haven’t got the edge you showed here,I’m ready to try the flat braid help🙏🏻🙏🏻
You can still do the flat braid join - I would recommend starting off with the same border as I show in the tutorial. Just make your double crochet stitch, chain three and then skip three stitches before making a double crochet in the next stitch. You'll then be ready to start the flat braid join 😊
Can you mix regular crochet stitches with Tunisian Crochet stitches. I have really taken to the Tunisian Crochet but i can't do the other stitches yet.
As they are both made using different methods I'm not sure if you would be able to mix them as such, but it would certainly be possible to creates squares in Tunisian crochet, and in regular crochet, and join them into a blanket or afghan 😊
Hi, newbee here just starting to learn... I have a general question. I've been trying to find a technique to join squares together, but the size of my squares isn't always the same size as the one in the tutorial. After watching your video, I wonder if the "rule" to this is: add as many stiches for the "loops" + single crochet as there are stiches on the side of the square. I see you have worked with 3 double crochets and then a chain one in between, so that makes 4. Then you add 3 chains for the outer "loop" and one crochet to attach the chain. That makes 4. Is that the general rule to follow? So if my square is made of 5 stiches and a chain, I would need to chain 5, and then attach with a chain? And of course, increase the corners? I didn't see you make an increase of the corner in this video though, but maybe that is why your work curls a bit?
I have several different tutorials on how to join granny squares on TH-cam - if your search Bella Coco joining granny squares they will all come up and you can choose which one you like the best :)
Yes, although you might find it helpful to add a plain border of double crochets to the squares before you begin. You would then work around in exactly the same way as I show in the tutorial, just skipping two or three stitches at a time where you make your chain stitches. I will certainly add this to my list of possible future tutorials 😊
I can't believe that I learned how to do this beautiful join! You are a wonderful teacher. I am so excited to be able to join all these pretty squares that I worked up over the last few months. Thank you very much!
You are very welcome, I would love to see a photo of your finished project :)
I love your channel and have learned a whole lot over the past 10 years while crocheting.
Thank you so much, that really does mean a lot to me :)
Bella I’ve been watching you for 3-years now. You have the best tutorials. Thank you!
Nice work. More elegant than the other granny square joining methods. very easy to follow. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome 😊

You did a great job explaining this! Because just giving the steps would probably confuse a lot of people. I like how you made it make sense!
I have to say that your tutorials are so understandable and easy to follow. Many thanks 👍🏻
Very nicely explained, need to know what video shows how to do the granny square for beginners if you have one or suggest one?
Thank you very much for taking your time explaining each area of the squares.

I love the joining techniques. I work a lot of squares because I can take them with me. I wasn't happy with the traditional joining. I love yours.😀
Thank you :)
Hi Sarah Jayne, nice to have you back, beautiful tutorial as always, thank you so much. Hope you are all ok. Take care and lots of love. Xxx
Thanks for your simple lesson. I searched through numerous sites before I found the one that was right for me. I have since subscribed and will make yours my go to tutorials.
You are very welcome :)
I have been frustrated on the braid join. You have explained it much simpler
I'm glad it helped :)
I’ve never liked joining squares together. I will use this one on my current baby blanket using multiple patterned squares. Thank you.
Awesome teaching skills! Thank you for this tutorial this joining braid is beautiful and you've made it so easy to follow.
Thank you my lovely , I've tried to understand this method many times but failed ....I finally get it , you are so clear in your teaching 😘♥️
Thank you for your teaching. Is very understanding and easy to follow.. Very good teacher.
Thanks for your videos, you do such an awesome job that I am able to overcome one of my biggest obstacles (translating the stich from right handed to left handed) watching you videos.
You're very welcome 🙂
I shall certainly try this method of joining

I do love your videos though.
I do have a left handed version of this tutorial, here is the link for you :- th-cam.com/video/PJ_CdJrbM8k/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps :)

I just want to say, thank you for being such an awesome instructor! Your instructions are so easy to follow! Love watching your videos!
Thank you so much that really does mean a lot 😀
Thank You so much for replying to my message,I’m ready to try this flat braid now 💐💐🙏🏻🙏🏻🌈🌈👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is going to make things so much easier! Thank you Bella 😊❤
I have wanted to learn this method so thank you for the tutorial you make it look easy xx
I love this thank you finally a video I can understand
You are very welcome :)
The 2nd method is much nicer in my opinion. Thank you!
You're very welcome 🙂
Oh, this is working wonderfully now, thanks to understanding it through this video. Now, any suggestions on an edging, a border that would work well on the perimeter edges? I'm making a long vest. Thanks, Bella Coco or any reader.
I've been looking for a nice decorative joiner stitch. This might be it! :)
Oh how pretty! Lovely tutorial Sarah Jayne - hope you and little Ella are doing well 😘
This stitch is beautiful et thank you for explaining it very well. The only issue I had was I think a different color yarn for the joining stitch would've been easier to see. Watching white yarn on a white background was a little difficult but otherwise I love it. Thank you!
You are very welcome and on more current videos i use a different colour background to make it easier to see :)
Very nice join! Thanks for sharing! I like the braided look. It’s something different!
I just watched this again. I love this join! So pretty!
Love it Bella! Thank you!!
Thankyou for sharing, fantastic cheers 🥂
You're welcome :)

Nice work thanks for sharing

Thank you :)
I am currently using this on my Victorian square😁. Wish this video was up before I started.

Very cool! I'm excited to try it out.
Thank you Dear Coco.
Might try this ... I like the stitch I use but I might give this a try
Thank you so much for the useful video.
Nice way to do borders.
Thank you 😀
I'm doing a similar join method on my victorian lattice blanket I'm making 😁
Charlotte Cunningham me too 😁
Love this! Thank you.
Very nice they are booth beautiful
Verry good ..beatiful video..thanks you..
You're welcome :)
Lovely. Thank you!
Awesome 👏🏻
Thank you, love it
Sooooooo beautiful
For Americans watching: she says "double crochet" but she's working what we call a single crochet.
Tracie Holladay yes that’s correct. I have referred to this in the video (1:35) 😊👍🏻
She mentioned that.
She says that in the beginning of the video!!
She says the chain 2 is different but her stitch is a single. The stiches are the same everywhere. She is calling the stiches by the wrong name.
@@onebook4837 obviously you didn't read the previous comments. She is using UK terms!! Try reading them, or listen to the video where she explains that a DC in the UK = a SC in the U.S.A
Love your videos, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Pretty
Another brilliant video.. would you ever do a video on making cardigans for baby's x
CONNIE GROVES oh that would be awesome! She could use her new baby as her model😍
Love this, can you use it to join Willow Squares? I’ve got quite a few to join and really like this method?
Claire Robinson I have seen some beautiful Willow blankets joined with this method.
Thinking of using it for this myself x
Bella could you help me please,I’ve just done the willow pattern squares you showed on your tutorial,I double crochet all around the squares as it showed,how can I do the flat braid as I haven’t got the edge you showed here,I’m ready to try the flat braid help🙏🏻🙏🏻

Would it be possible to do only 2ch instead of 3ch? I don't have that much space between my clusters
Yes absolutely; with the flat braid join you can both increase and decrease the number of chain spaces 😊
Can you mix regular crochet stitches with Tunisian Crochet stitches. I have really taken to the Tunisian Crochet but i can't do the other stitches yet.
As they are both made using different methods I'm not sure if you would be able to mix them as such, but it would certainly be possible to creates squares in Tunisian crochet, and in regular crochet, and join them into a blanket or afghan 😊
Can we use this join for any type granny square like a solid granny square or sunburst granny square
Hi, newbee here just starting to learn... I have a general question.

The squares already have the extra stitches which are counted for. So, when joining no extra stitches are needed.
Good nice dear and disaea
Do you have the pattern for joining Granny Squares and where can I get one
I have several different tutorials on how to join granny squares on TH-cam - if your search Bella Coco joining granny squares they will all come up and you can choose which one you like the best :)
Bella Coco I made a blanket please what is the best for edges....Cora fr. California....
Can that flat braid be used to join the spiral granny squres? Coukd you do a tutorial ?
Yes, although you might find it helpful to add a plain border of double crochets to the squares before you begin. You would then work around in exactly the same way as I show in the tutorial, just skipping two or three stitches at a time where you make your chain stitches. I will certainly add this to my list of possible future tutorials 😊
Excellent, as usual! Does it work joining hexagons? I might have a go to see.
Could this method be used for the abstract blanket?
that for u
Where can I get those needles., can’t see the brand ....????
I don't see the written pattern for the joinings
Can’t get this in lg pictures
What is a "lag" in crochet?
Very neic
K
Pobre Rey Felipe lo que le toco
I think what you are doing is a single crochet, not a double crochet😀
I'm taking in UK terms. I did point this out in the video. A UK double is a US treble x
Doesn’t 1 ch equal a dc?
Every pattern or tutorial I’ve ever seen uses 1 ch to replace a dc. ??
It's single crochet (not double crochet).
I'm using double crochet which is a UK term, in the US this is single crochet, it's the same stitch just different terminology :)
I have watched several of your videos, and it is very confusing .
