I've never seen a standing stitch before and I'm in love! I've always hated how the normal chain 3 stands out.
yes I agree. That chain is such an eyesore. The standing stitches alleviate that.
Thank you nice work.😊
Me too doing ❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤millions GS. I always hated that first chain so I searched perfect way to join the color in GS and FINALLY FOUND IT. WISH I SAW THIS VIDEO BEFORE😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

I agree. This changes everything when chain three is in pattern.
There are a few things in your wise words that changed my granny square game:
1. Tighter granny squares with less chains on the corners and sides.
2. Colour changing with a beautiful standing stitch which doesn't stand out like the normal chain 3.
3. Working over the tails - say goodbye to weaving and bloodshot eyes!
Thank you for this video. You are an innovator and and inspiration to many.
I am 44 years old and just decided to learn how to crochet! My mom sent me your video because I was getting so frustrated with all the other videos I was watching. I don’t know what it is about you, your voice, your methods but it all CLICKED!!!! Thank you so much for this video, I’m so glad I came across your video! ❤❤❤❤
I just found this video by searching "crochet color change granny square" as I've only ever done granny squares in a solid color. I was immediately blessed with your bright energy! I love love love stumbling upon people like you who have a clear and definite passion to share with the world. Keep up the good work
Soooo grateful I found this! I literally can't count how many times in my life I have tried to make a garnny square to varying degrees of failure, but have FINALLY succeeded thanks to this! 😊
I love traditional granny squares. I especially love to make big, ugly scrappy ones with mismatched yarns and all kinds of craziness. I just keep them for myself to throw over my couch and I just let the colors change wherever they will and I cheat and use a magic knot. I’ve got a giant Noro stash and I’m thinking of turning it into a wildly colorful granny square blanket. With that one I would pay more attention to changing colors in rounds and weaving in my ends nicely. I discovered the thing about flipping your granny square about a year ago and it is a game changer. I will never make one without flipping it, ever again.
After years of trying to learn a simple grannie square, i FINALLY clicked after watching you! You also taught me how to make a magic ring. YEAH Toni!
Love the weaving of the ends as you go. Your new look is fabulous.
I love this method for joining colors. It looks so much more secure. Thanks for the tip!
Loved the shout out to Black woman….show your face and your hands 👏🏽👏🏽
I have tried to do granny square blankets before and ended up with the vortex of doom and no matter how many retries could never figure out what was going on! Your video gave me the confidence to try again. I also love the tip about skipping the chaining between corners for a tighter look. I am going to try that! Thank you so much for your video!
I am in love with the standing stitch!!! I’m so glad I watched this before I started my project because I haven’t done granny squares in a long time and I remember not being impressed with those projects. This is gonna be great!
If only I could go back in time and use your fabulous tips on the huge granny square blanket I juuuust finished. At least I'll know for next time, because there's never enough granny square blankets.. ever. Thank you! The standing stitch especially, never would've thought of doing that.
Thank you Toni. I doesn't matter who we are or where we come from we all love you. That was a very helpful video. Granny squares have come a long way since I was first taught them. I really like your style.
I love the standing stitch idea. Thank you Toni.
Love your hair today
Amazing!! I’m in the middle of a cardigan with granny squares and this video is amazing. Just blew my mind. Thanks! 😘
Nice!!! The standing stitch looks excellent. No more vortex, no ends to weave in, no ch 3 gap!!
My jaw hit the floor with ease of the standing stitch! Why haven't I thought of this before?!?! Thank you for the hint as I love granny's as well
Thanks Toni for being your wonderful self. I'm a new crocheter, longtime knitter and your videos just rock.
I love that you doing the knot ‘first’ in the join. Ive been doing that join for a while now, it works out beautifully.
Thank you so much! I've only made granny squares in one color so had no idea how to change colors. Didn't even realize I didn't know how till I started on my first temperature blanket & drew a mental blank 😅
I love the standing starting stitch idea. Those granny squares are so pretty, such a nifty idea with those blessed tails! Thank you!
This is THE BEST granny square video!! That starting DC and flip around is game changing! 😀
Women of colors are great! Thank you showing me the granny square. ♥️🧶
I am so glad I found your tutorial! The standing stitch is a game changer I also am so excited about being able to weave my ends in as I go! These two simple hacks will help me so much on my journey crocheting a granny square cardigan! Thank you!!!
You are amazing! I can’t wait to make my next Granny blanket and use all of your tips! Thank you Toni!!! ❤️🌸🌸🌸
Omg that standing stitch look incredible!! Thank you soo much for sharing ♥
What a fantastic “refresher” for Granny Squares! And I learned a new trick…the standing dc! Love that and will definitely use it! I’m ready to make all the squares again….it’s been years since I’ve done them!
Omigoodness you are an amazing teacher and I think so far out of all the instructional videos I have watched, I love your style the best! I am a perfectionist at heart and always want my work to look crisp and clean. The lady I watched before you was showing how to put two squares together... Not only were the two squares different sizes 😮 but one looked twisted from the center. I was not interested in being taught by someone who isn't focused on good form so I clicked away and found you and I'm so glad I did! 💜💜💜
Thank you so much. Changing colors on granny squares was a thorn in my side. The invisible join is great as well gives it a neater appearance.
What a beautiful granny square! And the colors are wonderful. I love all the tips you give and I have become better at this craft because of you. Thank you so much Toni!!
Thank you for this tutorial! Like the way you do your tails! I have been making granny square blankets for years and I have never turned my work after each round. I have never had a granny blanket turn out crooked!!
Like you, have never had a granny square 'vortex'.
Me either. I don’t really like to turn my grannies, as I prefer a right side and a wrong side, as the stitches do look different.
Though I have TRIED, I can't manage the vortex look! Lol
@@kayfulmer2774 me too!
The vortex is a tension problem, usually tight tension.
This is the best granny square tutorial! So funny how something so simple can have these many details for a perfect final product, thanks for sharing! x
That’s so great. I’ve been scared of granny squares and you make it look so simple thanks!
This granny square is perfect. Love this video. Thank you.🥰
You just fixed so many issues I've been having as I learn granny squares! Thank you so much! Your videos are my favorite.
You just saved me!!!! I'm starting a new huge granny square project and i was having such a horrible time with the ends trying to figure out how to secure them and i was ending up with a bunch of not so safe knots! ... thank you for share your knowledge, for your big smile, and the love I can see you out in every video!!!!
Toni, you have restored my love for the granny square. Thank you not only for those great tips but that magic circle explanation took the mystery out of making it. It is as simple as you say and i could now get on with patterns that use it without intimidation and trepidation 😊👍❤️, you are the best!
I've learned a great new way of doing a Granny Square! Thank you for sharing these awesome tips!
Yes! this is exactly how I do mine these days (sans the magic loop) and they always come out perfect. That polish is amazing on you, btw!
And your invisible join is awesome. This tutorial is jam packed with great tips. Thank you so much.
Love the orange nail polish. I’m an orange girl too. Love your videos. ❤️
The way that you explained everything was so clear and I love listening to your voice. ❤️ I saved this to find again the next time I work on a granny square. This would have saved me so much time with my granny square cardigan
Just bought a pattern for a granny style motif, and it was kind of doing my head in. This video pretty much saved my life. XD I'm not new to crochet, but there were SO many color changes and SO many tails and the dreaded vortex. You just helped me fix all of the above with one video. Your videos are always *the* most helpful. Your tips are FANTASTIC, your instructions are easy to understand and follow, and your voice is so pleasant to listen to. I just love your channel. Thank you so much for every upload. (Also, your top is really cute, I love the color.
I’ve always thought of the granny square design as a piece for “grannies” but you have completely changed my perception. I absolutely love the creativity, beauty, and functional tips you bring to this design. Thank you!!!
omg, folding the yarn tail taut over the tapestry needle then sliding the needle out to make it easier to thread is completely genius! so much great info packed into one video!
OMG!!!!! I knew you could make it all better! I love the "standing stitch" join because I've always felt the regular way I was taught looked so awkward and kind of out of place. Then I said to myself, "Let's see what Toni would do". YES!
All my granny square woes have been solved by this awesome tutorial! My joins always looked wonky and dealing with all the ends from color changes gave me a headache. But no more! And I LOVE the standing dc tip. Thanks for another great crochet video ❤
Girl I have tried making so many granny square variations and they all came out so busted & this video CHANGED THE GAME for me!! They came out absolutely perfect! You are a godsend ❤ subscribed right away
I just started a new granny square pattern and have never done them with color changes before. This is so clean and beautiful. You're a genius! Thank you for sharing!
I have always loved your tutorials!! It's a big plus that you're such a lovely and kind hearted lady. Thank you so much for all you do!!
Tony, you glide along so smoothly and make everything look so easy! I have never made a granny square yet but your method certainly is very square looking and not crooked like a lot of them I see. TFS
Simple and efficient with good tips. I’m about to start my first granny square project, I’m glad I found this video!!
Your color combinations are genius. I also love the standing double crochet. At first it’s always bug me and I will definitely start using that technique. Thank you for another helpful instruction video 🙏🏼
Good morning, great video Toni, my daughter has just started granny squares to begin learning crochet so I've forwarded your video as after my 2yrs of crocheting I've learnt something new watching this tutorial. 😀 xxx
Wow! Thank you for all the tips. Your squares look so clean!
Just made three squares using your tips. Love so far!
Thank you so much for all the love and detail you put in all of your videos. I am so proud of you 👏.
Obsessed with these colors ❤ Hi from Dayton, OH 👋
I love this standing double crochet concept.
Ok. You are a genius!! I love that technique of the standing double crochet when you join in the new color. I was getting odd lumps where I was joining colors and I think this method will work better. And also I love that you weave in the tails as you go, thank you for that tip!! I’m starting a blanket and I’m going to use these techniques for sure!! Thank you so much!!! ❤
This is wonderful! I have never made a more perfect granny square! Your tips and tricks are great. Thank you for sharing!
Learning so much from this tutorial! These squares are beautiful, thank you!!
You are the best teacher I have seen on TH-cam! Thank you so much
I could not deal with granny squares because of the vortex look of it. Thank you so much for showing those great tips. I am going to use those to make my first temperature blanket.
OMG Girl love your curls!!
You are an amazing teacher! Just finished my first granny square today thanks to you. Thank you!
I've never seen a granny square where you work on the back side. Wow. The finished product is such a beautiful textural pattern. You get the texture from both sides and they compliment each other so well. Now you won't have a front and back side! Thanks for this tutorial. Amazing to me.
Oh my god you read my mind. I was just thinking, “what would Toni do to change colors on her granny square?” Brilliant!
Cheers to you Toni. I have been crocheting for 40 years and once did a granny square blanket for a bed about 20 years ago but you have one of the best tutorials on making a granny square and I learned a lot of new techniques. I am hoping you will do a tutorial of constructing a granny square top. I have your book and am just loving it. A new knitter as well, I am enjoying using Tunisian crochet to work up some luscious summer tops with different cotton yarns. Congratulations on your success in getting close to 500K subscribers. I am huge fan of yours and look forward to learning more from you and seeing you soar.
I really liked all the crochet hacks. I want to get .better and better and I need all the help I can get.
You are so clever and amazing..first for showing an easy magic ring then for the perfect granny square..i dont like all the tails but now its great. Thank you. You're gorgeous
I’m a newbie crocheted and found your video whilst searching for how to join different coloured yarn. Wow, this is absolutely wonderful. What a great method and I’ve learned so much from this video. Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos, past and future x
Thank you so much for your tutorial I have always been a bit unsure of granny squares but you have given me the confidence to try again,thank you x
Just the best granny square tutorial. You rock!
Mind blown! I have been crocheting for years and did not know these techniques, thank you!
Beautiful squares! I love the color combination 🤩
New favorite channel! Thanks so much for creating such straightforward useful easy and fun to listen to content. On with a Saturday morning binge session...
Love, love love your hair Toni!!! Oh and yes, your tutorials are the best!
I love granny squares. I learned so much from this video!
Granny square vortex of doom! I love it! 🥹
I can’t wait to give your techniques a try. I learned to crochet when I was a child some 50 years ago! I’ve learned so much from this video. My granny squares always looked wonky and homemade. Utilizing your finishing and turning methods should give me a more polished and professional look. I’m so glad I signed up for crochet academy, you’ve got me so inspired to crochet. Thank you 😊
In love with your perfect granny square thank you
just have to say, your hair looks amazing in this video! great tips with the granny squares and I can't wait to try them out!
One, LOVE YOUR HAIR! Two thank you for this video 🥳🥳🥳
I'm still a beginner to crochet, I just started last september. i've avoided granny squares so far because the color change intimidated me, but after watching this i really feel motivated to try!
This was so awesome!!! I am currently working on a surprise baby blanket. I had a huge problem with the square shifting. Your video today helped me so much. I took apart what I had already created and I am starting over again. This time I have a valuable skill set in place to help me create a great project. Thanks a bunch
Love the tips I’ve never hear doing things this way. Thank you
I’m a knitter who is picking up crochet - this was soooo helpful!
Researching for granny square ideas for our charity project, I came across your video. Subscribed immediately. This will elevate our blankets for wheelchair users in nursery homes a lot. I will take away not only the standing dc, but also the magic loop beginning, and how to work in the tails and save me some sewing in ends.
This probably will improve productivity, too.
Love this! Thank-you for sharing your knowledge!❤
You're amazing!! I just learned how to make a granny square and I absolutely love how you make them! I'm gonna put your technique into use. Thank you :)
Love the tutorial!! Also, LOVE the new style!! 🥰
This is wonderful and has helped me so much. I'm looking forward to starting over with my Granny Squares so they look better. Thank you!!
I absolutely LOVE your videos! You never fail to teach us useful hacks and explain things in an easy manner :). I always find myself coming back to your videos, lots of love from Belgium xx
omg i just realized you crochet righty but cut your yarn lefty, that’s GENIUS!!! love you toni!!!
Awesome granny squares. I love your work.
LOVE how you explain how to weave in the tails as you go!
Great tips, I love granny squares
Hi Toni, great tips. Thanks so much for this tutorial. It was well explained and helpful. Turning the work gives texture to the square in a beautiful way.
I love it - this is totally doable and a game changer ❤
You are AWESOME!!! Best tutorial I’ve seen thus far ❤
