I struggled with granny squares for so long yet I could make anything and everything else😂 this tutorial is the only one I found that finally made it click!! So no, you're not the only one!❤
I’m doing great!My needle is in the wall,The Yarn is all over the floor and Is drenched in my tears! (Not really but I’m so mad right now,This is a good example Im just having a hard time)
You have to remember that crochet is practice and patience do don't give up. You may find it easier to try out my beginner tutorials first, here is the link for the first one (you will find the links to the other 4 underneath the video where it say "show more") :- th-cam.com/video/GcOzdAzmtNM/w-d-xo.html I wish you the best of luck and let me know how you get on :)
Don’t worry, remember it takes practise and patience to learn any new skill! 😊 I would make sure you’re working your corners correctly with the right number of chain spaces. If you skip these then your corners won’t look defined.
You're the only person who actually explains everything properly. I'm a complete beginner and you have helped me so so much already. From chain stitch, to this. You're amazing. Please never stop with your videos. X
This was actually a LIFE SAVER every granny square video I watched that was “beginning friendly” was definitely not. You explained everything so well. And it even works with my semi chunky yarn I’m using too!
I particularly appreciate how Bella slows down in those essential moments and actually uses her fingers to pull the stitches or point out what she is referring to. It seems unimportant but it helps so much to beginners.
This was so incredibly easy to follow. I’m not a beginner to crochet, but I’ve never done a granny square before and I was able to pick this up immediately. Thank you for the tutorial!
Wow! Thank you for the tutorial, after 3 unraveled practices, and 2 hrs later I was able to make my very first granny square. New to crocheting, all I’ve made is beanies with loom- so this was fun and very excited to continue!!
I’m not a beginner, I’m over 70 and taught myself to crochet when I had my first baby at 21. I’ve used this stay at home time to complete 4 baby Afghans and trimmed several receiving blankets for two friends who are going to be grandmothers for the first time. It’s a great hobby. Good luck.
It took me two and a half hours to get through this video but honestly it as so worth it. You demonstrated/explained it so well and my first ever granny square came out so nice. Thanks for the help! 😊
Wow! I just made my first ever granny square by following this video. It took at least 3 unravels and re-doing and what seemed like a thousand rewinds and reviewings along the way. I'm so glad I decided to persevere. I'm now looking forward to making our bedspread . Thanks so much, Bella, for bringing back to crochet after such a long break
Is there a written pattern that goes with the video? I need something to look at to remember as well as the video. This is teaching a 74 old guy who knits how to crochet and I can't remember what goes next half the time! Thanks
Why does everytime i try this or any other tutorial, my ‘project’ just starts to look like a ball and its all lumpy. I can never get it to look flat no matter how many times i try
maybe when you put your slip stitch into something to complete the row it turns out like that? for example, you put the stitch into the 4th ‘V’ instead of the 3rd ‘V’. Maybe your tension for the yarn and hook is too tight and you’re maybe using the wrong hook? just trying to help :)
I was going to say your tension! you have to keep a consistent tension throughout the project (depending on what you’re doing), i learned the hard way and had many many “lumpy” projects for a while 😂
Omg I have been trying to do this for 44 years!!! I started crochet at 5 years old. Never could do this. Everyone has tried to teach me. I watched this and literally just made my first one and I am so darn proud of myself.
Slow the speed right down ... as a beginner you can't stitch as fast as she did and you get overwhelmed. You can still understand what she is saying !! crochet the round then unpick and do again, with the video on .5 speed ... it is difficult but that's how I did it
This was really helpful! I have known how to crochet since I was five, my mum taught me! But I could never get the hang of starting off, my mum used to do it for me. Its been some years since I have done any crochet and my mum has since passed. I decided to pick it back up again as it was something me and my mum used to do together, plus I found it relaxing to do.
Oh my gosh...it makes sense now!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial - I can see your stitching clearly, and you took me through it so slowly, explaining everything along the way. I loved that I could pause it as I went, as I was able to make one treble stitch, as you made three! I look forward to getting better, and faster, with more practise, now that I know what I am doing!
4 hours and 18 restarts (not exaggerating) and I freaking DID IT. It's perfect! Thank you so much for the amazing tutorial. This is the first thing I have ever crocheted and I'm so happy!!
@@asiasmith9334you’ve got this!! Keep going! I’ve crocheted a whole queen size blanket now and am so happy I didn’t give up. New things take time to learn 💜
I have some parts of my brain damaged so it is really hard for me to follow instructions, but I crocheted with you and didn’t mess up ONCE. Absolute godsend of a woman ❤️😁
I'm the same and I find a lot of instructions too difficult to follow and I give up. This tutorial was very helpful and I successfully did a granny square!
I've crocheted for years and have made granny squares but I found that your tutorial was great and would be extremely easy for any beginner to follow. Speaking clearly in your explanations while showing what/how you are doing it is wonderful and very important, so keep up the good work
Wow. This was the first video I found after searching for awhile where someone taught/explained this well enough that I was able to actually make my first granny square. So excited. Thank you!!
Thank you for this useful video! This is my first time trying a granny square and I succeeded! I am just a kid who picked up crochet a few weeks ago, and thanks to your channel, I now can crochet different patterns!
Your other granny square tutorial got me started crocheting back in 2017, I've made one baby blanket and one large blanket following those guidelines. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Sarah. I am a new subscriber. I have always wanted to learn to crochet and this year I decided I would make time to actually do it! Your channel has been recommended to me by several crocheters and I just wanted to say that your tutorials are the best. You make the projects so easy to understand and follow and you film so that it is clear to see exactly what to do and where to put your hook. Thank you for making learning crochet less stressful!!! Can I ask, are you planning to bring back your vlogs? I've been going back through all of your uploads and I love your vlogs x
Hi Kellie! Thanks for your message. I feel honoured to have been recommended to you. I’m so pleased the videos helped you in your journey. I now have a whole new channel for lifestyle videos 😊 th-cam.com/users/sarahjaynefragola (if this link doesn’t work- just search Sarah-Jayne Fragola xx
This was really helpful!!I managed to make loads and sew them together to make my real life horse a rug it took 1 yr but without out you he wouldn’t have a nice and snug crazy rug. Thank you so mutch. -Mintyplayzzz and her horse Midnight.❤
I worked my way through all your beginner videos and now I’ve made my first granny square. Thank you so much for explaining and showing so clearly! I already love crocheting.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial, and taking the time to slowly walk and talk us through each stitch. I've been trying for AGES to crochet my first granny square, and I must have gone through over a hundred videos, and yours has been the only one that's actually helped me. I've know crocheted my first ever piece (albeit just a square lol), and now feel ready to make some more for my first ever project!
You have the patience of a saint! Thank you so much for a fantastic video. I watched all the way through, then purchased a ball of yarn and a 5mm hook, then had you on Stop/Start, and "Ta Da" I have produced my very first respectable-looking Granny Square! 😘
I'm trying crochet for the first time and this video was amazing!! the last granny square video i tried to follow i accidentally made it into a star and was pretty confused about that (I still am tbh) but this video was easy to follow and allowed me to make something pretty for once!!
I tried doing this using a book back in college & got too confused and quit. Trying again 15 years later & I DID IT! This video made it SO EASY! Thank you so much. It’s been a life long dream to make my own large colorful granny square blanket! Now I’m one step closer to making that dream a reality! 💖💕🙌🙏
This was so easy to follow I'm not a beginner to crocheting but this was my first attempt at a granny square. This helped so much and I can't wait to show my aunt.❤
Dude she went so fast how I'm not a beginner but I can't do this tut it's way to fast and I have to pause the video every 2 second it's really annoying 😭
@@Harveybloxy it's okay I have been taking lessons from my aunt so I already knew the basics, if you're starting from the very beginning beginning then it's going to be a little harder. Just keep trying and practice you'll get better in no time
Absolutely love the tutorial I'm not a new Crusader but I've never done a very Square which didn't have any squares how do you do different types of techniques and instead this really helped me how long is going to square cuz my grandma who teaches me how to crochet lives far away and I didn't notice of the the video they said trouble when I knew it was more of a double three double crochets so I was going to point out if you never really said it at the in the video but you end up this which I was glad about so it's really good tutorial
The first time I followed this tutorial earlier this week, it took me 3 hours and 5 unravels to complete my first ever granny square. I just followed this tutorial again and it took me 1 hour and 0 unravels! I'm so proud of myself (which is a rare occurrence) and so grateful to you. 💜 I'm someone who benefits greatly from very thorough, visual instructions and this is perfect. Thank you so much! 🥰 The last time I did any crocheting was in elementary school, so 25 years ago, give or take 😉 back then my teacher held up my project for everyone to see, only to say "this is precisely how NOT to do it - the stitches are too tight". It's haunted me ever since and hasn't helped my issues with anxiety 😅😢 it might have taken me a few decades but I'm back at it, and so excited to watch my progress 😊
I've finally done my first square without any mistakes. It's taken many, many tries but I've got it - now I've just got a blanket of squares to make lol. Don't give up hope everyone, you'll get there. Thanks so much.
Thank you sooooo much!!!!! This toturial is amazing and i subscribed btw i'm 12 and i got into crochet a few months back, bcuz i started knitting when i was 9 and found ur channel which was about crochet so i wanted to try it out and now im pretty good at crochet!😁❤
This is such an amazing tutorial, its great for teaching troubleshooting as you go along as well. Although i restarted 5 times i feel like its helping me pick it up really quickly because i was able to tell something wasnt quite right. Thank you so much this is such a valuable resource!!!
I just wanted to say a massive thank you. I learned to crochet watching your channel and my first project was your starburst blanket. Fast forward two years, and many projects later, thanks to a minor stroke, I'm medically retired from work. Due to balance issues, I spend most of my time on my ever widening derriere! I'm relearning to crochet watching your channel, as well as following your journey as a mum on your other channel. You really are an inspiration. I'm hoping the 'birthday fairy' brings me a video camera on Tuesday, as my next recovery goals are to learn to 'TH-cam' and blog. Can't think where that idea came from 😉😉 Thanks again, from another 'Midlander', Dotty xxx
Jane is so pleased you love my videos! Happy birthday for Tuesday. I hope you get the camera! Good luck with vlogging! (You will probably find a video which will be on my other channel soon really handy!) 😊💗
Her saying that different names for the same stitches are confiusing (spelling?) is quite funny to me because i am Polish and trying to learn from english speaking people xD
At least the definition of your stitches will directly translate if you're learning from American English speakers. The UK loves to make it just a little complicated. Can't be the same terms as the FRENCH, after all!!!
This is So helpful i have seen 5 - 6 tutorials but this is so understand - able and pleasant I actually did it in my first try . It came out soo good Thank you 😊 🦄✨
I was ready to give up on this video, but then my dad said he'd like a blanket so I went back in and today I successfully made this granny square now only alot more to go
Using this tutorial to make a granny square bag,I've already made 6 granny squares in 3 days. Definitely recommend this tutorial,if you have nothing to do ALL day I'm pretty sure you can make 6 in TWO days because I'm lazy and eat crisp and watch Netflix as well.
@@bellacococrochetI'm sorry but this didn't work at all, I'm not that new of a crocheter but this didn't really make anything.. just a ball of random chains and stuff.
Huge thank you for this video!! I always try to figure these things out myself and end up with a complete mess, lol. Accidentally made a granny triangle the first time I tried haha
I'd recommend popping over to my blog here: blog.bellacococrochet.com/crochet-basic-granny-square/ where you'll find a large photograph of a granny square so you can compare yours. If your corners are in the middle it sounds like you are working your chain spaces at the wrong time 😊
I love how you do it in basic ways.. I've been searching for this kind of video to follow.. good thing I found & started trying to make same pattern as yours.. At first I was disappointed not able to do it on my own but after finding your video that look simple, I am able to make one.. I'm aiming to make a crocheted blanket or bed cover, hope I can finish it.. Thank you so much for your video, it's really helpful🥰 Looking forward for more of your crochet videos.. God bless & be safe to you, and everyone
So glad I found this tutorial, have spent the entire evening getting very frustrated with all the other tutorials I tried! Good speed and you don’t just assume we’ve remembered everything and picked up the pattern before charging off without us or fading to a later on, I like that you showed the whole process!
I have a very hard time picking things up and this video was so clear and showed me exactly how to do it! I’ve been crocheting for years and I just made my first granny square. Thank you so much for this!!!
This is such a beginner friendly video! Things that other crochet tutorial "for beginners" videos treat as common sense, like the tip you gave at min 11:10, is so detailed and helpful. I was following along step by step and felt like I had done something wrong, but you immediately helped me figure that out. Thank you!!
I’m getting some crocheting stuff in the mail tomorrow and I’m literally so excited! It’s been years since I did it and I never really learned properly or even used an actual book so this will be fun
Great tutorial! Except you sped up the stitches on the second granny stitch, so I had to rewind and pause a number of times. Otherwise, this is very helpful for a beginner. 😊
Hello, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and let you know what an impact you have made on someone. You are such an awesome teacher. You made this tutorial so easy for an absolute beginner like me. Till today I never even picked up a ball of yarn or crochet needle so I can't believe i have actually made a granny square and have been able to do this! I have to admit, it's taken me a good couple of hours to get used to the feel of what I'm doing but you explained it so thoroughly and simply I was able to figure out what I am looking for and I have nailed it! My mum is so amazed at the work I've done lol. You are the absolute best! Thank you once again x x
Shabna Shahid I know this is an old comment but I totally agree with you. My mom sat and helped me crochet a granny square for 3 hours, and now I'm trying to do one on my own... not as easy to start! She definitely made one of the best tutorials around! My Mom was getting frustrated because I didn't get what she was explaining so now that I can make my own I just let her think that she taught me that! 😂 all in all when my Mom's happy, the family is happy... this video was a life saver!!
So apparently there are several different ways to make a granny square, and this was the first tutorial I tried (after trying three or four others) that didn't have *anything* confusing in it, which means I was actually able to complete the square! Thank you for being awesome!
What always perplexes me is...how did the first person to do this figure it out? They were a bloody genius
This is what I ponder when doing stuff like this too 😂
Yes - me too!
Happy accidents
This is just a theory of mine, but I think it could've been an autistic person who figured it out, given how most of us have special interests
@@LaughOutRandom I'm also autistic, and this checks out tbh.
"There should be two centre holes"
Me, looking at my tiny jumble of disaster yarn:
"I will take your word for it"
I feel you 😅😅
That’s what happedned to me the first time, but months later I did it and it was surprisingly easy. Probably Because I had more experience
I couldnt even see mine 😅
I restarted like, 4 times
lllolllllollll me too! got there in the end THANK HEAVENS!
This is slowly driving me insane 🤞

i just started crocheting less than a week ago and as a beginner this video couldn't have been explained more perfectly thank you for posting this!!
You are very welcome :)
Same!!!
Your other granny square tutorial got me started crocheting back in 2017, I've made one baby blanket and one large blanket following those guidelines. Thank you for sharing!
You're very welcome :)
Hi Sarah. I am a new subscriber. I have always wanted to learn to crochet and this year I decided I would make time to actually do it! Your channel has been recommended to me by several crocheters and I just wanted to say that your tutorials are the best. You make the projects so easy to understand and follow and you film so that it is clear to see exactly what to do and where to put your hook. Thank you for making learning crochet less stressful!!! Can I ask, are you planning to bring back your vlogs? I've been going back through all of your uploads and I love your vlogs x
Hi Kellie! Thanks for your message. I feel honoured to have been recommended to you. I’m so pleased the videos helped you in your journey. I now have a whole new channel for lifestyle videos 😊 th-cam.com/users/sarahjaynefragola (if this link doesn’t work- just search Sarah-Jayne Fragola xx
Bella Coco thank you x x x
Kellie Cockcroft ugh

Great tutorial! I go through phases with my hobbies, each time I circle back around to my crochet hooks this video comes in handy :)
Thank you, glad it's helped you :)

-Mintyplayzzz and her horse Midnight.❤
You're welcome :)
Just done my first ever granny square! I can’t believe I did this! Thank you so much for your tutorials xx
You’re very welcome and well done 😊
Same!
when you nearly finished and found out about the US & UK name stitches...ssiiiiggghhh -pulls the yarn-
i like your vids coz its so easy to follow please do plushies for beginners too 🥺🙏
Thank you :)
I worked my way through all your beginner videos and now I’ve made my first granny square. Thank you so much for explaining and showing so clearly! I already love crocheting.
You are very welcome :)
Thank you so much for making this tutorial, and taking the time to slowly walk and talk us through each stitch. I've been trying for AGES to crochet my first granny square, and I must have gone through over a hundred videos, and yours has been the only one that's actually helped me. I've know crocheted my first ever piece (albeit just a square lol), and now feel ready to make some more for my first ever project!
You are very welcome :)
this is so helpful and ur voice is so calming
Thank you :)
Lmaoooooooooooo i made a magic circle and a perfect square -
I just can't get it at all. It keeps ending up like a circle with lots of holes !! 😔
its definitely a hard one i got it but my sister in law cannot figure it out.
it's ok, just remember practice makes perfect!
If it looks like a circle than there's probably an issue in the corners
Same except mine came out as a granny bowl with tons of gaps 🤣 we just gotta practice, practice, practice and don’t give up!
Anyone know how to know where the centre hole is? I think I just keep putting thru different ones or something
I had been struggling with trying to learn this all day and now finally it works! This brilliant tutorial did the trick. I will be forever grateful!
You have the patience of a saint! Thank you so much for a fantastic video. I watched all the way through, then purchased a ball of yarn and a 5mm hook, then had you on Stop/Start, and "Ta Da" I have produced my very first respectable-looking Granny Square! 😘
Joanne Barlow wahoo!! Awesome news x
my parents wondering why am I unconscious 😵💫😫😫😫
I'm trying crochet for the first time and this video was amazing!! the last granny square video i tried to follow i accidentally made it into a star and was pretty confused about that (I still am tbh) but this video was easy to follow and allowed me to make something pretty for once!!
I'm so glad it was helpful to you and remember that crochet is practice and patience so the more you do the easier it will get :)
I tried doing this using a book back in college & got too confused and quit. Trying again 15 years later & I DID IT! This video made it SO EASY! Thank you so much. It’s been a life long dream to make my own large colorful granny square blanket! Now I’m one step closer to making that dream a reality! 💖💕🙌🙏
You are very welcome :)
This was so easy to follow I'm not a beginner to crocheting but this was my first attempt at a granny square. This helped so much and I can't wait to show my aunt.❤
I'm so glad that it helped you :)
Dude she went so fast how I'm not a beginner but I can't do this tut it's way to fast and I have to pause the video every 2 second it's really annoying 😭
@@Harveybloxy it's okay I have been taking lessons from my aunt so I already knew the basics, if you're starting from the very beginning beginning then it's going to be a little harder. Just keep trying and practice you'll get better in no time
Absolutely love the tutorial I'm not a new Crusader but I've never done a very Square which didn't have any squares how do you do different types of techniques and instead this really helped me how long is going to square cuz my grandma who teaches me how to crochet lives far away and I didn't notice of the the video they said trouble when I knew it was more of a double three double crochets so I was going to point out if you never really said it at the in the video but you end up this which I was glad about so it's really good tutorial
The first time I followed this tutorial earlier this week, it took me 3 hours and 5 unravels to complete my first ever granny square. I just followed this tutorial again and it took me 1 hour and 0 unravels! I'm so proud of myself (which is a rare occurrence) and so grateful to you. 💜 I'm someone who benefits greatly from very thorough, visual instructions and this is perfect. Thank you so much! 🥰
The last time I did any crocheting was in elementary school, so 25 years ago, give or take 😉 back then my teacher held up my project for everyone to see, only to say "this is precisely how NOT to do it - the stitches are too tight". It's haunted me ever since and hasn't helped my issues with anxiety 😅😢 it might have taken me a few decades but I'm back at it, and so excited to watch my progress 😊
Well done for not giving up, I'm glad it has helped you :)
I've finally done my first square without any mistakes. It's taken many, many tries but I've got it - now I've just got a blanket of squares to make lol. Don't give up hope everyone, you'll get there. Thanks so much.
You're very welcome and well done for not giving up :)
Thank you sooooo much!!!!! This toturial is amazing and i subscribed btw i'm 12 and i got into crochet a few months back, bcuz i started knitting when i was 9 and found ur channel which was about crochet so i wanted to try it out and now im pretty good at crochet!😁❤
Me to
This is such an amazing tutorial, its great for teaching troubleshooting as you go along as well. Although i restarted 5 times i feel like its helping me pick it up really quickly because i was able to tell something wasnt quite right. Thank you so much this is such a valuable resource!!!
You're welcome :)
I just wanted to say a massive thank you. I learned to crochet watching your channel and my first project was your starburst blanket. Fast forward two years, and many projects later, thanks to a minor stroke, I'm medically retired from work. Due to balance issues, I spend most of my time on my ever widening derriere! I'm relearning to crochet watching your channel, as well as following your journey as a mum on your other channel. You really are an inspiration. I'm hoping the 'birthday fairy' brings me a video camera on Tuesday, as my next recovery goals are to learn to 'TH-cam' and blog. Can't think where that idea came from 😉😉 Thanks again, from another 'Midlander', Dotty xxx
Jane is so pleased you love my videos! Happy birthday for Tuesday. I hope you get the camera! Good luck with vlogging! (You will probably find a video which will be on my other channel soon really handy!) 😊💗

Pratima Das a good aew🎁
Good
Her saying that different names for the same stitches are confiusing (spelling?) is quite funny to me because i am Polish and trying to learn from english speaking people xD
At least the definition of your stitches will directly translate if you're learning from American English speakers. The UK loves to make it just a little complicated. Can't be the same terms as the FRENCH, after all!!!
This is So helpful i have seen 5 - 6 tutorials but this is so understand - able and pleasant
I actually did it in my first try . It came out soo good
Thank you 😊 🦄✨
Glad it helped :)
I was ready to give up on this video, but then my dad said he'd like a blanket so I went back in and today I successfully made this granny square now only alot more to go
THANK U SO SO MUCH FOR THISSSSSSSSS!!!! I’ve made a ton so far and I’m planning to make a small tote bag with them!!❤❤❤
You are very welcome :)
Using this tutorial to make a granny square bag,I've already made 6 granny squares in 3 days. Definitely recommend this tutorial,if you have nothing to do ALL day I'm pretty sure you can make 6 in TWO days because I'm lazy and eat crisp and watch Netflix as well.
I'm glad it's been of help to you :)
@@bellacococrochet :DD
@@bellacococrochetI'm sorry but this didn't work at all, I'm not that new of a crocheter but this didn't really make anything.. just a ball of random chains and stuff.
Huge thank you for this video!! I always try to figure these things out myself and end up with a complete mess, lol. Accidentally made a granny triangle the first time I tried haha
You're very welcome :)
My corners always end up being in the middle of the row, especially for the 2nd row can anyone help??
I'd recommend popping over to my blog here: blog.bellacococrochet.com/crochet-basic-granny-square/ where you'll find a large photograph of a granny square so you can compare yours. If your corners are in the middle it sounds like you are working your chain spaces at the wrong time 😊
@@bellacococrochet thank u smm!!!
I love how you do it in basic ways.. I've been searching for this kind of video to follow.. good thing I found & started trying to make same pattern as yours.. At first I was disappointed not able to do it on my own but after finding your video that look simple, I am able to make one.. I'm aiming to make a crocheted blanket or bed cover, hope I can finish it.. Thank you so much for your video, it's really helpful🥰 Looking forward for more of your crochet videos.. God bless & be safe to you, and everyone
You are very welcome and I'm glad it was helpful :)
Hi, Coco this is my favorite crochet tutorial. And you are doing great. Thank you very much. ☺️
im crying, i CANT do this i actually give up mine looks like a ball of mess every time i attempt a tremble crotchet
So glad I found this tutorial, have spent the entire evening getting very frustrated with all the other tutorials I tried! Good speed and you don’t just assume we’ve remembered everything and picked up the pattern before charging off without us or fading to a later on, I like that you showed the whole process!
You're very welcome :)
Literally the best tutorial i couldn't do it with you I did it super easily big thanks ❤
You're welcome :)
Getting my hook this week!! I’m going to practice this!! Thank you for sharing so much 💕
You are very welcome :)
just reading the comments, how did u go making ur first granny square Jenni?
I have a very hard time picking things up and this video was so clear and showed me exactly how to do it! I’ve been crocheting for years and I just made my first granny square. Thank you so much for this!!!
You are very welcome :)
This is such a beginner friendly video! Things that other crochet tutorial "for beginners" videos treat as common sense, like the tip you gave at min 11:10, is so detailed and helpful. I was following along step by step and felt like I had done something wrong, but you immediately helped me figure that out. Thank you!!
You are welcome, I'm glad it was helpful :)
I appreciate this tutorial because it is rhythmic. It helps a lot. Thanks 😊
You're welcome :)
I’m getting some crocheting stuff in the mail tomorrow and I’m literally so excited! It’s been years since I did it and I never really learned properly or even used an actual book so this will be fun
Great tutorial! Except you sped up the stitches on the second granny stitch, so I had to rewind and pause a number of times. Otherwise, this is very helpful for a beginner. 😊
Just made my first square! Thanks I find this tutorial really easy to follow x
Your tutorial is make Confuse 😅😂😂
Hello, I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you and let you know what an impact you have made on someone. You are such an awesome teacher. You made this tutorial so easy for an absolute beginner like me. Till today I never even picked up a ball of yarn or crochet needle so I can't believe i have actually made a granny square and have been able to do this! I have to admit, it's taken me a good couple of hours to get used to the feel of what I'm doing but you explained it so thoroughly and simply I was able to figure out what I am looking for and I have nailed it! My mum is so amazed at the work I've done lol. You are the absolute best! Thank you once again x x
Shabna Shahid I know this is an old comment but I totally agree with you. My mom sat and helped me crochet a granny square for 3 hours, and now I'm trying to do one on my own... not as easy to start! She definitely made one of the best tutorials around! My Mom was getting frustrated because I didn't get what she was explaining so now that I can make my own I just let her think that she taught me that! 😂 all in all when my Mom's happy, the family is happy... this video was a life saver!!
So apparently there are several different ways to make a granny square, and this was the first tutorial I tried (after trying three or four others) that didn't have *anything* confusing in it, which means I was actually able to complete the square! Thank you for being awesome!
10/10 would recommend it was the EASIEST TUTORIAL
this was an EXCELLENT explanation thank you!!
You're very welcome :)
